Tickling makes Pursuit grow STRONGER!!!

Bourbon

Hey guys, whats up. Anyways, I made a new team after reading about Jolly Wobbafett destroying walls. So, naturally I decided to exploit this cheap strategy. I refuse to use the brokenness that is Garchump, so I welcome any new wall breaking strategies I can get my hands on.


Here we go! SUPER MARIO

Mesprit @ CHOICE SCARF!!
76 HP / 166 Def / 92 Satk / 240 Spe
Timid

Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
Psychic
U-Turn

Mesprit counters most leads, except Scarfed Gengar... >:( Tbolt for Gyarados, Ice Beam for dragons, Psychic for Infernape, Heracross and STAB. U-Turn helps me scout and get in Wobbuffet unharmed. This spread makes it really bulky, much tougher than Starmie, and it can still counter what it needs to with 269 Satk.

Wobbuffet @ Leftovers
28 HP / 246 DEF / 236 Spe
Jolly

Counter
Mirror Coat
Encore
Tickle (LOL)

Yes, here it is, folks. The most annoying pokemon on the face of the planet. Hey, it's nicer to look at than some of the OU pokes we use nowadays, but his plain, blue, saluting silhouette will be burned into your nightmares for many years to come. Any wall, be it Skarmory, Bronzong, Hippowdon, or Blissey, is gonna get tickled repeatedly until I feel Tyranitar is ready to "have his way with them". You'll soon see why I want these pokemon out of the picture... the problem of being wall-less when I bring out my ace-in-the-hole will be a difficult situation indeed.

Tyranitar @ CHOICE BAND
252 HP / 40 Atk / 218 Sp. Def
Careful

Pursuit
EQ
Stone Edge
Crunch


HA HA!! This is so much fun to use... and it requires no effort whatsoever. Only "skarmary" (will that noob cat guy ever get that right) has a chance of surviving a -6 def Pursuit, and the Stealth Rock damage will kill him the next time it shows up. Other moves are basically filler.

Gliscor @ Leftovers
244 HP / 50 Def / 216 Spe
Impish Nature


Ice Fang
Earthquake
Swords Dance / U-Turn?
Roost

I tested the EV spread, and Impish with 216 Speed gives more defense than Jolly with 116 Speed. He outruns SDluke and kills it easily. Still has very nice defense, (352 HP, 327 DEF) so he still stops Heracross. After the physical walls are dead, he can attempt a sweep with Swords Dance, Roost and Sand Veil hax. It HAS happened before, so you bettah recognize sweeping Gliscor.

U-Turn would dent Celebi more (I hate all Celebi except my own) and help bring in Wobb more often, but SD is really funny when it works.

Porygon-Z @ Leftovers/Silk Scarf?/Wiseglasses?
36 HP / 28 Def / 194 Spe / 252 Satk
Modest

Tri Attack
HP Fighting
Dark Pulse
Agility


Here it is, Agili-Z!! Outruns Scarfgar after an Agility, which also means it outruns everything else. 526 speed people. With Blissey dead, pretty much everything is easy pickings for Porygon-Z. Wobbafett and Ttar remove all the bulky pokemon, so all that's left is some frail, half dead sweepers. Life Orb, Sandstorm and Stealth Rocks should leave them all in KO range. HP Fighting finishes off Tyranitar and hits Magnezone. Dark Pulse for those ghosts, Tri Attack maims everyone else.

Jirachi @ Leftovers
252 HP / 218 Def / 40 Spe
Jolly

U-Turn
Wish
Stealth Rock
Body Slam

I gave this pokemon 270 speed. I wanted to outrun Heracross, but I may go for 280 to finish off weakened Lucarios as well. You guys know the rest; flinch hax and whatnot. So many Garchomps switch into this and Swords Dance greedily, and then they get paralyzed. This is when I U-Turn to Gliscor on the Earthquake, and he finishes the Garchomp for me. Mesprit revenge kills chomp nicely too.
 
Um, no, it's not. Wobb is allowed in OU at the moment; check the front page of Stark Mountain, people just can't shut up about it.

So here I am, exploiting wobbuffet to boost my ratings... :P
 
umm, are you joking? Jolly Wobbufett w/ Speed EV's?
Replace it with 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD and Calm Nature (maybe add more HP from Def because of Tickle)

PS: I love ur location, Earthbound FTW
 
you say you outrun ttar with uxie and u-turn away, but pursuit treats that like switching and still deals double damage...
 
Ignoring subtle problems like what Stathakis mentioned, I have to say I really like this team.

People like MoP have been lamenting about Wobb Tickle + Ttar Pursuit for a while, and this team certainly takes advantage of that.

I recommend running Swords Dance over U-turn on Gliscor because you have 2 U-turners already, and with the Speed you have invested in Gliscor, that Swords Dance will be very helpful for your team.

As for your concerns regarding Uxie and Jirachi, I agree with your sentiments.

However, not many Pokemon learn Stealth Rock + U-turn and are not weak to Bug...the only that come to mind are Infernape and Jirachi. Unless you want to a run a really weird Stealth Rock, U-turn, ThunderPunch, Close Combat Infernape set, I recommend replacing Jirachi's Zen Headbutt with Stealth Rock.

I can see not only Gyarados, but Scarf Heracross and SD Dragon Claw Garchomp giving your team absolute fits, as Gliscor will only be able to stop SD Chomp the first time without its huge defensive investment.

That's why instead of focusing on your Bug weakness, I'm going to focus instead on how do deal with the aformentioned issues. Replace Uxie with a 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Choice Scarf Mesprit with U-turn, Psychic, Thunderbolt, and Ice Beam.

Psychic can OHKO Heracross (though to make it 100% you really need Stealth Rock down), Thunderbolt OHKOes Gyarados and Ice Beam OHKOes Garchomp.

Here, you also outspeed Scarf Cross and 280 Speed DD Salamence, both of which would give your team issues. You also get to keep that U-turn that Uxie gives you.

Granted, you will be losing a lot of defensive potential, but I don't think this is an issue since I will guess that Uxie pretty much just set up Stealth Rock, occasionally U-turned and then staved off Gyarados, correct?

Mesprit would do all of the above (assuming you switch Stealth Rock to Jirachi) and more with its additional speed, especially taking care of Scarf Cross and SD Chomp. It also deals with Gyarados better, since Uxie's Thunderbolt isn't a OHKO and Gyarados might get lucky with a Waterfall flinch.
 
Just to let you know, your Mesprit is missing 6 (well 4 useful) EVs. Your current spread adds up to only 504 EVs.

a fast wobb is the most effective type. come in on zong, forry, swampert etc while they set up SR, outrun and encore them, burn turns with other moves, rinse and repeat, death by struggle.
 
Hmm, this team looks annoying to take down, but I don't see exactly how youd deal with blissey. Your only reliable way is with CBtar but once he is gone your team can get stalled to death. Wobby can't do much more than encore, gliscor will die to ice beam before it can SD enough to hurt with stab EQ. I'd recomend a strong fighter.

Nah, Blissey is easily taken down. Wobby comes in on a predicted Softboild/CM/SR and then procides to encore the move, trapping Bliss. Wobb then spams tickle to low Blissey's defence while encoring when needed. Then Band Tar comes in, pursuiting and killing Blissey. It is very effective method of killing Blissey.
 
I haven't had problems with Blissey so far, CBtar gets rid of it pretty easily. The only pokemon it would really dare come in on is Mesprit or Porygon-Z. Porygon-Z I keep hidden until very late game, when Blissey is dead. Mesprit can still do it's job of forcing out threats such as Garchomp, Gyarados, and Infernape, even if Blissey shows up, they're still being "countered".

Wish Passing to Mesprit is easier than you would think, since it has Levitate, Jirachi can get Wishes to it on pretty much any Earthquake.


EDIT: This team is working perfectly, my only beef is that Wobbufett is hard to Wish pass to, because Jirachi ends up getting slept most of the time.
