Trick Room Sweep

yungunr2

My brother always wanted me to make a trick room team and an explosion team, i decided to combine them both, since its not a new idea im sure someone in here has a fairly successful TR Explosion team. However there is a twist to this team, while exploding alot seems to be the main goal, its really to set up a sweep for one of my hard hitters. So without futherado here is the team.

Role: Lead
442.png

Brongzong@ Lum Berry
Relaxed
252 HP / 152 Atk / 8 Def / 96 SpD---0 Spe IV
Stealth Rock
Trick Room
Explosion
Gyro Ball

One of the best leads ever in my opinion, he sets up rocks like a pro, or especially a trick room, takes a starting status with the lum, then when his purpose is done he explodes, usually i bring in smeargle after he sets up trick room and explodes so he can Belly Drum pass and spore anything in his path.

Gengar@Life Orb
Hasty
136 Atk / 156 SpA / 216 Spe
Explosion
Shadow Ball
TBolt
Focus Blast

In Case Trick Room fails or i need a speedy sweeper gengar is the perfect choice, also can explode,main reason is to make bliss come out and explode in its face, leave an opening for azelf to come in and destroy.

Azelf@Life Orb
Timid
36 HP / 252 SpA / 220 Spe
Nasty Plot
Flamethrower
Psychic

My NP sweeper comes in late game to bring down whatever he can, good power in case trick room fails, or once its over.

Snorlax@Choice Band
Impish
184Atk/252SpD/72HP
Return
Self Destruct
Crunch
Fire Punch

My Special Tank sort of thing, he takes special hits very well for the team, and has a pretty beastly attack, AND with a Belly Drum can take out almost anything it desires to. He also can Explode if need be.

One of my Mixed Attackers in my Trick Room Game, can now take out alot more pokes becoming a mixed varient.


 So Any criticism is welcome suggestion
 
I think you could really revamp the whole team somewhat and make it much better so I will start with the pokemon who chould be changed.

Dusknoir would make a much better second Pokemon then Gengar thanks to giving you another trick room as well as a ghost anyway although a slow one at that and to combat the nasty plot infernape problem. To remedy this even more you might enjoy Slowbro over Gardevoir as he is amazing in trick room with that low speed as well as resisting flamethrower from nape.

The problem with smeargle is that when he subs, then belly drums, then spores, and then baton passes ... trick room is down which will really hurt you. I think a solid physical attacker could go in his place which could help for losing belly drum. Personally I would go a mixed attacker who can clean up late if things arent going right. Nasty Plot Azelf could be an excellent choice with nasty plot, flamethrower, psychic, and explosion. A speed attacker is always helpful in a trick room team in case it fails and azelf fits the theme of exploding. Also if you don't take that approach you could use another slow bulky pokemon like swampert or vaporeon to handle any weakness although slowbro pretty much already does it. Swampert is still a fine choice though. However he wont be exploding. I mentioned vaporeon for wish support since this team has no recovery at all except slowbros slack off once you add him and that can hurt a trick room team. Any choice is fine though.

Now some movesets need work. First Metagross isn't really hitting his potential here and I think Choice Band or even just running a mixed set would help. Being slow and able to hit and ohko-2hko things like skarmory, gengar, azelf among others is cool. Plus bullet punch takes away from the real point of trick room.

Snorlax would then want a choice band as something with his attack and speed in trick room can sweep teams. You could even go curse with life orb just to get one in although that is your choice. I prefer band though and keeping your current set as it hits much harder.

Bronzong actually might want hypnosis over stealth rock so it can beat things like crobat or gengar with it after lum berry blocks their hypnosis efforts. Stealth rock can fit on snorlax, metagross, or swampert if you choose him. Right now I would pick azelf but vaporeon swampert and azelf all would work.

for the pokemon I suggested the sets are all pretty much the same. just note slowbro will have trick room, slack off, surf, and then calm mind, ice beam, or flamethrower. Mixed metagross will take grass knot, meteor mash, hp fire, and ice punch/psychic. Covers a lot of things and helps the team out.

Dusknoir I would go offensive with earthquake, trick room, pain split/ice punch and fire punch. And I would use him on the team.

After all those changes you would seem to have all weaknesses covered.
 
how bout a breloom in there, one of his main weaknesses is speed perhaps a gallade with destiny bond might take a few critters down as well?
