Hey guys im DizzyNinja (Dizzy(~'o')~) on showdown and this is my first RMT ever so feedback is appreciated and also before i get into anything with the team i would like to give HUGE shoutouts to Lord Xen III and CalebisPissed for helping me with the team its really all 3 of our teams but ive made quite a few changes to call it my own ^_^ so anyway lets try not to screw this up
couldnt find a shiny sprite lol
Sharpay (Sharpedo) (F) @ Sharpedonite
Ability: Speed Boost
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Ice Fang: helps kill tankchomp and lando along with other dragons and is boosted by strong jaw but i was also thinking about poison fang for clefable and other fairys but for now ill just rock out with ice
- Crunch: mandatory stab and frankly sharps best move with the combination of strong jaw+stab
- Protect: unfortunately needed because of speed boost but helps alot with dodging lopunnys fake outs
- Waterfall: what i said about crunch -strong jaw
So sharpedo is a really under rated mega IMO he hits like a truck with the combination of his 140 attack and strong jaw and outspeeds almost the entire metagame after just 1 boost from speed boost but gives the enemy a free turn with protect and is VERY frail and is usually ohko'd very easily by many heavy hitters such as azumarill and lopunny so you have to play very carefully with him to maintain him to keep sweeping after removing some threats hes overall a great late game sweeper and hard hitter
Bad movie good mon ;D
Poltergeist (Gengar) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Taunt: shuts down stuff such as skarm and completely throws up the middle finger to chansey
- Shadow Ball: shadow ball+sludge wave stabs are great together and hit alot of things very hard
- Sludge Wave: ^^^this plus fairys^^^
- Focus Blast: when it hits it kills heatran,ferrothorn,magnezone,tyranitar and more great coverage but the accuracy is a really a 50/50 (pfft sure "70%")
So gengar is a really good mon right now having good speed and provides alot of offensive pressure gengar is really here to threaten out fiarys such as clefable and mega gardevoir hes a great revenge killer and also a nice antilead because of taunt he is also one of my only ways to kill ferrothorn implying that focus miss actually hits which doesnt usually happen with me but hopefully your luck will be better all in all he does a ton of damage and makes a great offensive core with mega sharpedo since they kill alot of their threats though neither of them can really switch in to much so i have to predict to get the them inside but when they are oh so rewarding :D
The Uber mon that never was
Toothless (Kyurem-Black) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 36 Atk / 238 SpA / 236 Spe
Mild Nature
- Earth Power: ground coverage is so good in this meta and with teravolt kills even things with levitate
- Hidden Power [fire]: so i dropped outrage for this so that i could deal with scizors and ferros which were both huge problems for my team i feel it was a good change and i like it
- Fusion Bolt: pretty much the electric eq and everyone knows how powerful that is it kills pesky water types that can usually setup on one that doesnt have it just a great move in general
- Ice Beam: ice beam hits so many things in the meta for SE damage and is a great move all around plus it pairs with fusion bolt for almost perfect coverage
Kyub is plain ruthless it destroys balance and for some odd reason there are NO teams prepared for it idk why but nobody ever preps for this thing except HO which kills it regardless the ev spread lets it outspeed base 80s such as mega altaria which it ohkos with ice beam and enough attack to ohko most azumarill with fusion bolt the mild nature lets it hit hard but unfortunately lessens its bulk im considering giving it a bit more attack but thats why you're here :D
EDIT: changed outrage for hp fire
3 faht 5 u
Gloria (Hippowdon) (F) @ Smooth Rock
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 144 Def / 112 SpD
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock: rocks are essential on every team so this move doesnt need much explanation turns 2hkos to ohkos and does a number to the ever so common zards and smogon burds
- Stone Edge: hits said zard and burd for 4x effective damage and hits everything eq cant
- Earthquake: earthquake is pretty standard on almost every ground type so its not to suprising its here
- Slack Off: lets hippo heal and stall out enemies with eq+sandstorm damage
Hippo is good wall that can setup stealth rocks and get off chip damage while healing off what you throw at it though it is beat out by heavy hitters and gets setup on alot it usually only is here for setting up sandstorm and rocks since the 0 invested attacks dont do to much i feel like its kinda holding the team down but i also need it for previous stated reasons so idk about keeping him or not but he does help out the next member extremely so lets move on
EEEEAAARFQUACKE!!!
Rekt It Ralph (Excadrill) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Rock Slide: rock slide is pretty standard on driller it kills burds and ice types like weavile which my team struggles with
- Iron Head: steel stab which helps with fairys and has a "30%" chance to flinch..pfft yeah right just how scald only has a 30% burn rate lol
- Earthquake: excas main move and paired with his astounding attack and 100 bp kills so much great move all around
- Swords Dance: so before this was rapid spin but i ended up never clicking it so i decided to change it to SD and its been working much much better for sweeping
excadrill though mediocre outside of weather is a complete MONSTER in sand which is pretty much the only reason i run hippo over other rockers he has an insane attack stat and amazing offensive typing the ev spread is just 252/252 because bulk isnt really something you need with this mon and attack and speed are way more important his ability is self explanatory and life orb is just for the extra damage i really like exca on this team and it usually takes out atleast 2 mons before it dies which is a good trade off for me obviously lol EDIT: changed rapid spin to SD
i realize your probably getting bored by now so ill try to wrap this up quickly
Meg if you shot for the stars there wouldnt be anyone left on earth right? -brian griffen
Patrick (Starmie) @ Life Orb
Ability: Analytic
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump: very powerful stab and a staple for offensive starmie
- Ice Beam: pretty standard for offensive starmie of just most water types in general landos and gliscors are everywhere so this helps
- Psyshock: nice stab that can hit spdef walls decently hard which is always nice and my only way of killing keldeo which is one of starmies main uses
- Rapid Spin: this one is pretty self explanatory good ole rapid spin the only reason this mon is remotely viable next to its speed tier it gets rid of hazards and provides a WHOPPING 2% damage on unsuspecting enemy's ;D
EDIT: changed for starmie>thundurus
starmie is a pretty good mon in this meta with a good speed tier decent offense and bulk and access to one of the best moves in the game being rapid spin which is a staple on 70% of all teams (or defog but you get what i mean) it also has a good offensive typing pairing with its great movepool+analytic to pull of some big damage despite it only having 100 spatk
so anyways guys i hope you were entertained enough to read all this and id love to hear your feedback and happy ratings also huge shoutouts to AD impish john (the RMT master himself) for helping me with all this thanks :D
