The Triple Bird Strategy

[Revenge killer talonflame]

Good morning,ladies and gentlemans.This is my second RMT here and i decided to wreck havoc with this team.This team doesn't have very great sucess recently however unlike my other teams.

[/Team Building]

My triple bird core.The three birds weaken each other's checks and the last bird remaning will sweep.Pretty simple.

Greninja and latios for a special attacker and defogger while excadrill acts as a back up hazard cleaner and a check to electric types that threaten the triple bird core

Latios still stays in the team but mamo proves to be a better check to electric types and rotom-w checks electric types while having the ability to go offensive.

Talonflame @ Choice Band
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- U-turn
- Tailwind

CB talonflame is a destructive force having priorty brave bird that 2HKOs even landorus.BB is the move here to be able to get rid of any weakened or frail mons.Flare Blitz demonlishes steels apart from heatran and aegislash to an extent even 2HKOing physically defensive skarm.U-turn for some momentrum and tail wind allows starapator and m-pinsir to sweep late game with their sheer power.

Staraptor @ Choice Band
Ability: Reckless
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Brave Bird
- Quick Attack
- U-turn

I have tried both band starapator and scarf strapator.Despite scarf's awesome revenge killing powers,band is more destructive.Brave Bird from band starapator 2HKOs ferrothorn showing the sheer power it has.CC band also hurts steels and t-tar trying to switch into brave bird.Quick Attack over double-edge might seem weird but it allows to pick off weakened pokemon and has STAB while still being strong with a band.It also has some surprise factor.U-Turn to scout the foe and switch with another partner but never got a chance to use it.

Latios (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Defog
- Draco Meteor
- Psychic
- Thunderbolt

LO latios has defog and is a special attacker which is pretty much my team needs.Defog allows to clear hazard that rips off the health of the birds.Draco Meteor for a STAB Move to threaten pokes with it's massive power,130 sp.atk,LO back up and STAB.Psychic might sounds stupid but latios cannot threaten most special wallls even with psyshock so some more power sounds better.It does help with conk but my 3 birds rip through conk like pros.

Mamoswine @ Life Orb
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Icicle Crash
- Ice Shard
- Stealth Rock

Mamoswine is a check to electric types that can wall my team pretty hard.It is just a filler and very useless at most cases so i am trying to replace him at the moment.EQ for STAB and icicle crash for STAB too but a stronger STAB.Ice Shard helps to pick off chomp,gliscor and lando twins as well as multiscale broken dragonite.SR for a hazard but it's pretty bad as most cases.

Pinsir @ Pinsirite
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Quick Attack
- Swords Dance
- Return
- Earthquake

Pinsir-Mega is the most useful mon in the game,return rips off too many pokemons and at +2,nothing can stand up on him at late game.Swords Dance makes pinsir very hard to wall after a boost threatening to KO a large amount of the tier.Quick Attack for a priorty to pick off pokes like breloom,greninja and LO alakazam.Earthquake is for aegislash though with it,i found pinsir to be walled pretty hard by some pokes.

Rotom-Wash @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Trick
- Volt Switch
- Will-O-Wisp

Rotom-W is the latest addition and yet amazing to use.Hydro Pump for STAB and power while volt switch grabs momentrum.Scarf cause i want my team to be as offensive as i can.Trick laughs chansey trying to eat rotom-w's attacks only to be surprised by a trick.My team can make walls set up fodder after that.WoW for physical attackers and to surprised mons like garchomp.

Final Notes

Mamoswine:Do i really need a check to electric types?

Starapator and Talonflame:Running 3 birds in the team isn't really necessary so will it be a good idea if i give up on one bird?Most might say to replace talonflame but in this team,starapator is just as useful as talonflame.Will it still form the bird core?

Lack Of Stealth Rock:Stealth rock is a staple of most teams but this team lacks it.(Mamowsine is an awful SR abuser with this team.)

Special attackers:Do i need 2 special attackers for this team?

You could have Focus Sash with Oblivious on Mamo, you basically guaranteed rocks up but beware of Fake Out.
I'd also advise Life Orb > Choice Band on Staraptor because well:

252 Atk Choice Band Reckless Staraptor Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tyranitar: 153-181 (37.8 - 44.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252 Atk Choice Band Reckless Staraptor Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Ferrothorn: 198-234 (56.2 - 66.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
or
252 Atk Life Orb Reckless Staraptor Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tyranitar: 133-157 (32.9 - 38.8%) -- 99.8% chance to 3HKO
252 Atk Life Orb Reckless Staraptor Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Ferrothorn: 173-204 (49.1 - 57.9%) -- 97.7% chance to 2HKO
keep in mind that these are guaranteed after rocks.

You could even Expert Belt/Flying Plate (lol hang on) you could bluff the scarf and get nice ohkos on ttar and other things that wanna switch in thinking you're locked.
but hey that's just me.
Finally, I'd also advise you get a secondary defogger/rapid spin because you cannot afford having rocks up.
Well anyway that's my rate and nice team:)

Mamoswine is not a suicuide lead :O,it's meant to be a check to electric.
CB starapator has sheer power at all and i just find myself spamming brave birds and killing everything.I at first uses 2 defoggers and rapid spinners but it doesn't worth as i test.

Hey! Stopping by to give a few thoughts. First of all, I think you should use Psyshock on Latios, as all the targets you really want to hit with it are hit harder with Psyshock. Also, it gives you a way to hit specially defensive walls hard. I think your Mamoswine would benefit from Speed more than HP, although it is a defensive role he is playing. Even with HP investment, he won't be taking hits well. Use max Attack / max Speed spread with Jolly nature, so that you can outrun as much as possible, and hit stuff hard. Also, Hyper Cutter is the best ability to use on M-Pinsir. You could use a Modest nature on Rotom-W, as the extra speed you get from Timid doesn't help you much.

I think Mamoswine is a good fit for your team, as he can put down SR quite reliably, while also retaining a good offensive pressure. The only Pokemon that fits that description otherwise is Landorus, and Garchomp, but I think those are even less checks to Electric-type Pokemon. You are free to try them though. One of the biggest problems for this team is Terrakion, since both Band and Scarf variants will give a good deal of trouble for the team. In fact, most of the Scarfers faster than Rotom-W will give the team trouble, as you lack a defensive core, so it will be hard to take hits. I don't think you necessarily need it, but stating it anyway. Furthermore, Talonflame isn't bound to kill everything, for example Scarf Garchomp and Scarf Terrakion can live one Brave Bird, and retaliate. Good luck with the team!
