Final changes in Bold
Smeargle @ Choice Scarf
252 HP, 252 Speed, 4 Def / Jolly or Timid
- Dark Void
- Trick
- Protect
- Destiny Bond
Everything revolves around this Pokemon. I hope Dark Void's accuracy isn't too bad though... I might get haxed if Dark Void misses both
Weavile @ Focus Sash
252 Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HP / Jolly
- Ice Shard
- Low Kick
- Swords Dance
- Fake out
This one has a fast Fake Out, however after it fakes out Kyogre Hitmontop fakes out Smeargle, so its not a counter to Topgore. It's not paired up with Smeargle when there's a Double-Hitter coupled with a Fake-Outer. This Weavile is risky due to the fact that opponents can wake up anytime.
Togekiss @ Leftovers (Hustle)
252 HP, 176 Def, 80 SpD / Careful
- Follow Me
- Protect
- Roost
- Extremespeed
Since I didn't invest any EVs to speed I doubt the flinch from Air Slash would be useful at all. However, the 75 Base Attack after Hustle is not that bad. Coupled with a STAB Extremespeed, I think it can use priority to finish off weakened foes quite well.
Toxicroak @ Black Sludge
252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Def / Adamant
- Protect
- Sucker Punch
- Low Kick
- Fake Out
This set aims to act as a Fake Out-er as well as to counter Rain Dance teams. The 252 HP is there to let it survive neutral hits well. Ground and Psychic moves are rather rare in VGCs due to Earthquake limiting the number of Pokemon you can use and Psychic is redundant.
Palkia @ Haban Berry
252 SpA, 252 Speed, 4 HP / Modest
- Spacial Rend
- Surf
- Thunder
- Blizzard
This one keeps Toxicroak's HP quite high with Surf while hitting Rain Dance/Blizzard teams hard. However, I haven't found a way to deal with Sunny Day teams, who weaken my Surf and hurt Toxicroak.
Abomasnow @ Sitrus Berry
252 HP, 252 SpA, 4 Def / Quiet
- Blizzard
- Grass Knot
- Ice Shard
- Protect
My Hail-bringer to counter Sunny Day teams. I don't really know how to use this but it acts as a replacement for Toxicroak in case there's a Groudon.

Smeargle @ Choice Scarf
252 HP, 252 Speed, 4 Def / Jolly or Timid (Own Tempo)
- Dark Void
- Detect
- Trick
- Destiny Bond
This set aims to put both pokemon to sleep almost immediately. It can almost outspeed every pokemon in the ubers tier. After putting both Pokemon to sleep it can switch out and switch back in to Trick the scarf into walls.
Togekiss @ Wacan/Yache berry
252 HP, 252 Spe, 4 Def / Timid (Serene Grace)
- Follow Me
- Protect
- Roost
- Air Slash
This aims to help Smeargle Dark Void easily, protecting it from priority attacks and some faster pokemon. Protect and Roost aid its tanking abilities, while Air Slash can flinch pokemon, dealing damage to pokemon while they're asleep, and has a 60% chance of preventing their attack even after they wake up.
(Substitute) Weavile @ Focus Sash
252 Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HP / Jolly
- Fake out
- Swords Dance
- Night Slash
- Ice Shard
Since the VGC in my region allows for 6 pokemon to register, but only for 4 of them to compete at once, I'll use this as a substitute for Togekiss whenever I see a Kyogre (probably scarfed). Togekiss cannot stop Water Spouts, but Weavile can. Weavile is one of the fastest priority users in the VGC, and is only tied by other Weaviles. After 1 Swords Dance Weavile can easily sweep many pokemon.
Metagross @ Salac Berry
252 Atk, 252 Speed / Adamant
- Bullet punch
- Thunder punch
- Ice punch
- Explosion
Metagross is able to take 1-2 hits from most pokemon before Salac berry activates. Also, Metagross will switch in after Smeargle Dark Voids to aid Togekiss in finishing off asleep pokemon. Thunder punch is for Kyogre while Ice punch deals neutral-super effective damage against Ground and all dragons. Bullet punch is for priority. Explosion when Metagross' HP is low.
Giratina @ Leftovers
252 SpA, 84 Def, 176 SpD / Calm
- Dragon Pulse
- Shadow Force/Icy wind
- Thunder
- Earth Power
Giratina is an amazing wall but it can hit hard as well. I didn't invest any speed as I think it needed the extra bulk. The above moves are for STAB and to wipe off threats. My team's main weakness is Metagross and Bronzong, which resist most of my attacks. Earth Power kills Metagross while Shadow Force threatens Bronzong. However, I was wondering if Icy Wind could do better against the common dragons. Giratina is to pair up with Metagross when Metagross explodes.
(substitute) Infernape @ Life Orb
252 SpA, 252 Speed, 4 HP / Timid
- Flamethrower
- Nasty plot
- Fake out
- Grass knot/HP Ice
This can replace either Togekiss or Metagross. The disadvantage of this is because it doesn't have Explosion (I actually wanted Gengar, Lati@s or maybe Heatran) However, unlike the 3 stated, it has Fake Out and Nasty Plot which makes it a good special sweeper. My original team (Smeargle, Weavile, Metagross, Shedinja) did not have any special sweepers at all. (I thought Shedinja could Will-o-Wisp and then Protect + Endure but I found out it doesn't work sadly.)
This Infernape is mainly to threaten Steel or defensive pokemon like Bronzong which walls my other pokemon. Flamethrower is more reliable as missing could cost me the whole game (Sash is already on Weavile sadly.)
As for the moveset I think Grass Knot would do much better since I have Metagross and Weavile already. After 1 Nasty Plot it can sweep well and it is quite faster at 104 speed (though Weavile is 125).
