I wanted to try my hand at this since Mewtwo is my favorite pokemon. reasonably successful, fairly obvious flaws I think.
Deoxys-E@Light Clay
Ability: Pressure
252 HP/252 Spd/4 SDef
Nature:Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
-Light Screen
-Reflect
-Stealth Rock
-Taunt
Lead; General Idea is to either Taunt (If I think the opponents lead can Taunt) or use the "predicted" appropriate shield. No attacking moves, thought about getting rid of stealth rock as there isn't always time to get it (Since I want Dual Screens). The only lead problem is Scarfers, by which I mead Darkrai leads, Wobs handles that.
Wobs@Leftovers
Ability: Shadow Tag
4 HP/252 Def/ 252 SDef/
Nature: Calm (+SDef, -Atk)
-Mirror Coat
-Counter
-Encore
-Safeguard
Encore is good for getting Mew in. I hate using this pokemon, but it makes a big difference in getting Mew in and letting him pass. (Since I hate Wobs so much, I've thought of a few other things I could do here... put something (Probably Giratina) To Burn physical attackers, and try to set up on them. If anyone has a particularly brilliant idea, let me know). Also, owns any choice scarfer.
Mew@Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
252 HP/216 Spd/40 SDef
Nature: Timid (+Spd, -Atk)
-Nasty Plot
-Rock Polish
-Baton Pass
-Taunt
Can come in on things that don't scare Mew too bad, and use Rock Polish, (or substitute/taunt situationally), opponent usually switches, then you can Either Nasty Plot or Pass. Screen support is of course immensely helpful for this, as is Encore.
Mewtwo@Leftovers(or Expert Belt)
Ability: Pressure
24 HP/252 Sp.Atk/232 Spd)
Nature: Timid (+Spd, -Atk)
-Aura Sphere
-Thunder
-Ice Beam
-Flamethrower
Usually the recipient of Mew passing. With Rock Polish nothing is faster, period, including all the choicers running, so once set up it can't be revenge killed, and it contains a move which can put the hurt on almost anything. If Nasty Plot is also set up, it even 2HKO's Palkia who aren't built very bulky with Thunder. The item choice is a bit of a debate, leftovers is nice for the extra Bulk when Nasty Plot is gotten off, but Expert Belt (Especially with stealth Rocks) is more useful in the event that the passing strategy is foiled. Otherwise, yeah. With nasty plot, OHKO's almost everything.
Kyogre@Leftovers
Ability: Drizzle
240 HP/244 Def/24 Spd (EV's to outspeed T-tar)
Nature: Modest (+Sp Atk, -Atk)
-Rest
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Sleep Talker
Kills Dakrai when Mewtwo can't do it with Aura Sphere. Mostly there to get rid of annoying weather problems (switch in on T-tars and kill them, ect); can set up Rain which helps Mewtwo out by making Thunder more accurate, and is very useful in the event that the primary strategy fails. When it does fail, Mewtwo still has fantastic coverage and can kill/hurt many things, and Kyogre can switch in on many things he has trouble with. Works as a good special wall, or a sweeper if passed to.
Darkrai@Lum Berry
Ability: Bad Dreams
4 HP/252 Sp.A/252 Sp
Nature: Timid (+Spd, -Atk)
-Nasty Plot
-Dark Void
-Dark Pulse
-Focus Blast
Pairs well with Mewtwo, since Mewtwo can often come in on fighting type attacks intended for Darkrai, and Darkrai returns the favor with Ghost moves, and is just as good for passing (Doesn't have the same coverage, but once passed to he also cannot be revenge killed, as nothing is faster). Also a bit of a "sixth" pick, which might change. I'm a little bummed that he doesn't benefit from the rain, makes me feel as though the team is a bit lacking in cohesion.
Threat List
Kyogre - Walling war with my own Kyogre, Mewtwo can put serious hurt on it with Thunder.
Groudon - Kyogre can switch into it and kill it, Mewtwo obliterates it with Ice Beam
Scizor - Mewtwo has flamethrower, Kyogre can Surf it.
Darkrai - Mewtwo can Aura Sphere it, Kyogre can absorb sleep and Rest Talk it, and sometimes Darkrai can deal with it.
Rayquayza - This one is often a problem. Obviously, if mewtwo is set up he can Ice Beam and OHKO, as can Kyogre, but I don't have anything that can switch in on it (My leads have taunt, one reason for running taunt on Mew; if I'm not set-up, Taunt, then Kyogre handles it)
Dialga - Aura Sphere, Focus Blast. Sometimes quite hard though (can't really stop one who is set-up); I thought about putting Lugia in but I already had two support pokemon who were taunt bait. Always have wobbs though
Palkia - Also hard to counter when I'm not set-up, but usually I am still under screen so if nothing else Wobbs works.
Giratina - Mewtwo can handle most sets, as can Darkrai. Pretty good set-up bait usually.
Shaymin - Flamethrower, Ice beams, ect
Lugia - Mewtwo has Ice Beam and Thunder. Darkrai can also hurt it a lot, and Kyogre has Ice Beam. It's also usually set up bait, and Mew can come in and taunt
Blissey - Wobbs, Encore, or Mew, Taunt. Set-up bait. (My absolute favorite pokemon to encounter, really)
Deoxys-A, screens are usually up, and Kyogre can handle it. If it's later, something is rock polished, and it's no issue.
Deoxys-S, usually just a lead, so I use taunt and see what happens. Can also often switch in Mew before stealth Rock and get free Rock Polish. Darkrai kills.
Deoxys-D - Darkrai Kills.
Chomp - two of my big attackers carry ice beam; Mewtwo revenge kills at worst unless it's the scarf set, then depends on move used.
Ho-Oh - Kyogre, Mewtwo also carries Thunder.
Mew - Darkrai, Kyogre
Mewtwo - Darkrai, Kyogre (If doesn't carry Thunder)
Latios - Probably the biggest problem; the ones carrying Soul Dew often hurt me a lot. I *generally* Just try Wobbufett, and encore calm mind/keep them from setting up, unless Mewtwo is boosted enough to kill with Ice Beam.
General problem: Other than Kyogre, most of these pokemon are rather frail in Ubers. I also don't have anything that can switch into Earthquake with impunity, or anyway to shake off status other than absorbing it with either Darkrai or Kyogre.
Thinking considerably about using Palkia, Latios, or maybe even a wall (Giratina most likely, maybe Lugia but I already have two Pokemon who can't attack) instead of Darkrai. Wondering what people's opinions on this might be. I need to find someway of not having to rely on Wobbs to deal with the Dragons.
Thanks!
