Trapping Beaverzor

Trapping Beaverzor Team (Updated)

~~~ Trapping Beaverzor ~~~
(Mean look, scizor, bibarel.)

I always thought Bibarel was awesome. I recently wanted to make a good team based around it. Turned out pretty good. The point of this team is to abused the ability "simple" as much as possible. I used umbreon to mean look a weak enough pokemon, passed it to scizor to stat boost as much as possible and passed it to bibarel to sweep. Simple.

Ass Elf (Azelf) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Psychic
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Nasty Plot
- Flamethrower

Azelf was a nice choice to be a start off lead to kill some possible threats to bibarel. I was thinking about stealth rock but i need more attacking moves to make it more of a threat. Focus sash lets it live so it can get a guaranteed nasty plot.

Beaver (Bibarel) (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Simple
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Waterfall
- Return
- Super Fang
- Quick Attack

What can i say? He sweeps. Main part of my team.
Well, return and waterfall are good for powerful stabs. Rest is to heal dangerous wounds, and finally if i sense a quick attacker (aqua jet, extreme speed, ect.) i can quick attack first with a stab as well. Just in case the baton pass might endager him, he has a focus sash.

Leaver (Scizor) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Swarm
EVs: 184 HP/176 Def/148 Spd
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Agility
- Swords Dance
- Baton Pass
- Iron Defense

Put the leaver in the beaver. He Tries to get in as many stat boosts as possible. Preferably agility and swords dance first, to ensure sweeping. If possible, then iron defence as well. Leftovers makes him survive longer to get more stat boosts.

Geng-Bang (Gengar) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Substitute
- Destiny Bond

Nice way to remove fellow gengars, gyrados, and other dangerous things. Life orb makes him deadly. The substitute/destiny bond strategy makes it have a period of time to kill if they don't destroy the substitute. When he is near death, he can just destiny bond to ensure a kill.

Maroon (Gyarados) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Waterfall
- Dragon Dance
- Ice Fang

This guy is my alternative sweeper. With one dragon dance along with life orb it can pack a deadly punch. If im in trouble, i can pass it some stat boosts from scizor as well. Very helpful for taking out my team's weaknesses like SD Lucario.

Pedophile (Umbreon) (M) @ Chople Berry
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP/164 Spd/92 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Mean Look
- Baton Pass
- Substitute
- Yawn

This guy is really important because of mean look. He can mean look a fairly weak (preferrably phisical based because scizor has better defence) pokemon and yawn to make then asleep. If there is enough time then you can subtitiute to make scizor have some more living time. Then he can baton pass to scizor and he will do his thing. Chople berry is for survival.

Hope you like my team!
 
On an initial look, Bibarel would really benefit from Super Fang in case the initial Baton Pass chain fails. Even with the boosts, it would still be great at putting some of the bulkier walls into KO range.
 
The fact that two of your pokemon are instantly owned by Taunt disturbs me, as well as a reliable physical attacker to kill the likes of Blissey (Bibarel needs boosts). I'd definitely put some sort of attack on Scizor because, let's face it, the only way you'll get in all those boosts is if your opponent is frozen or an idiot. Same with Umbreon, but what move to use I'm not entirely sure.

If you want to pass Agilities with Scizor, consider taking the Scarf off of Heatran. Scizor attracts Fire attacks like honey attracts flies, and a well-timed Baton Pass after an Agility would give Heatran not only a +2 speed boost but an boost to his fire attacks as well.

Bibarel is awesome, and I'm glad you're trying to use him, but like travisurfer said you really want Super Fang on there to really fuck up sturdy walls.
 
Even with +6 boosts, your Bibarel is not guaranteed a OHKO on some of the bulkier phazers like Skarmory. For this, you can put a few different moves on over Pluck (Which is fairly useless). One is Super Fang, like travisurfer suggested for the same reason he had. Another potential move is Taunt, which can shut down Pokemon looking to Roar you away.

You'd also probably want Yawn over Toxic on Umbreon. Whittling down the opponent should not matter if you are going to set up on it, while Yawn can incapacitate a pokemon to either remove a threat (E.g. Infernape or Heracross coming in) or make things easier for Scizor.

One thing I don't quite like about this idea is that, if everything works out and you get to Baton Pass so many stat boosts in Swords Dance, Agility and Iron Defense, why would you even need Bibarel as a receiver, over something like Medicham? :/

It could still work though, let's say if Scizor does not have a chance to completely stat up... which is why Taunt or Super Fang on Bibarel might be a good idea so it can wreck havoc without as many boosts. You could also consider Roost on Scizor over Iron Defense then, so it has more chances to come in and do its job.
 
i have ohkoed skarmories with +6 boosts so that shouldn't be a problem. Bibarel is the best reviever mostly because with one swords dance its attack becomes almost 900. iron defence is very helpful so that bibarel can reach 450+ defence and take a hit as it switches in. thx for advice tho, i will consider some.
 
I certainly see you having problems with steelix, outside of azelf which is fragile and easily taken down by a few gyro balls (idk calcs sorry). You wont be ohkoing any steelixes with that bibarel anytime soon. Also wanted to thank you for giving me the idea of dark pulse on heatran, dragon pulse just hasnt been doign it for me lately. otherwise looks good
 
waterfall can take on steelix after one swords dance im pretty sure. I've never faced one yet tho.
 
Your team requires too much set-up to work and that might be used to your disadvantage.....and you get screwed by all five of the most common fighting type pokes Lucario/Infernape/Breloom/Machamp/Heracross..that needs to be fixed
Half your team gets hit super effective by fighting type moves...and the ones that aren't hit by a fighting type move get killed by a dark move or a fire type move...and the pokes that tend to have Fighting/Dark moves and Fighting/Fire moves are Nape and Luke.
Your team is also weak too the dragons...Chomp digs a huge whole through your team..so does D-nite and Mence.


Your defences are frail, your main strategy takes too much set-up even if it does manage to work, roar/whirlwind will screw up everything you worked for and the perfect phazer will be Skarmory which will roar you without heistation...and your pokes do complement each other to an certain extand (Scizor/Heatran) which is always a plus. Team needs more work.
 
Not sure what im supposed to do. I have to keep scizor and umbreon, and heatran helps to complement. Now gengar and azelf i still like but have no replacement for yet.
 
Azelf should get some counter from dark (hidden power fighting) so it is able to hold its own in battle. You might want the bibarel to destroy an entire team but you need to make sure that your limited offense can at least cover themselves. Focus blast is great for gengar but it still might miss and your gengar will only take one powerful crunch for it to go down and because of your singular strategy you only have two pokemon to switch to (Heatran, Umbreon) and Umbreon couldn't hold its own with its all powerful mean look against a pokemon like garchomp with a life orb. The only way your umbreon might be able to survive is to replace either wish or payback with a status inducing move like thunder wave.
