Introduction
Hi Smogon, this is my first ever RMT in the forums and my first competent team this generation (it's so goddamn hard to make a decent team without weather abusers), i still haven't played much this gen because of the university, girlfriend, have been writing things, and bla bla bla. So i wanted to make my first GOOD team to start playing again so i came up with this :^I
Team Theme and Preview
Well i just wanted to use my favorite 5th gen mon (competitive wise, because mah actual fav is Galvantula wich is good but not enough), and that's Virizion, so take a look at the crew ;I.
Team Jobs
Roxie the Mew @ Leftovers
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 220 DEF / 4 SAtk / 32 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Will-o-wisp
- Psychic
- Magic Coat / Taunt
- Softboiled
My beloved Roxie, she is my "lead", i still think that leads exist this gen, maybe not like last gen but you can still use the same lead in most battles without problems. Her job is to scout a bit with her moves, burn physical attackers, break stall, and serve as death fodder later, sorry Roxie, but you're so damn good at your job <333
Evs and stuff: Bold Nature to take hits, will-o-wisp is especially for Tyranitar, Scizor, Ferrothorn and some Gliscor without Poison heal of i can catch them on the switch. I prefer to run Magic Coat instead of Taunt because it allows me to reflect hazards, status, and priority taunts by Prankster users, Psychic for stab and is not that bad of an attack it 2HKOes Conkeldurrs who think that i'm going to switch. A pretty good set that does almost anything and more that my last set does.
Rampage the Deoxys-S @ Life Orb
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 12 Atk / 244 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Thunderbolt
- Superpower
- Psycho Boost
- Ice Beam
Good Damn Deoxys-s, i made this set two months ago after watching a Deoxys-A, but i just wanted to try this form in order to outspeed Salamence, Gyarados, Haxorus after a DD and Garchomp, Landorus and Hydreigon with scarf.
Evs and Stuff: The evs are simple, 12 attack does 100 % min to 252/0 tyranitar, the speed is to outspeed most scarfers and dragon dancers, and the rest into spA. The attacks are obvious too, BoltBeam for general coverage and revenge killing purpouses, Superpower to OHKO Tyranitar, Blissey, do a lot to Ferrothorn and anything that doesn't resist it, Pyscho Boost is for Conkeldurr and fighting friends, especially Virizion, i can't OHKO it at +1, but it still does a shit ton of damage.
Rabanito the Quagsire (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 176 Def / 80 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Scald
- Rest / Recover
- Sleep Talk / Toxic
- Stockpile
This...thing...is....FUCKING AWESOME!, good lord Cthulhu i thank you for this awesome defensive wall. So that's it, i needed a counter to most physical attackers and talking with some friends they tell me how good and underrated Unaware Quagsire was, i didn't believe it but i wanted to try it so here it is, i was wrong, VERY wrong, this thing is so goddamn bulky that even LO Excadrill can't 2HKO it Earthquake. Good thing that it was released from DW too . _.
Evs and Stuff: First the name, when i was playing for first time my Soul Silver version i catched a Wooper and my girlfriend say "oh that thing is so cute!" i replied "yeah, wanna name it?" and she name it "Rabanito" so...yeah, spanish is my first language and rabanito is a kind of food with...fish, i don't know. EVs are tipical, all into hp, a lot into def and the rest into spD, i don't wanted to run the 252/252/4 variant also, the attacks first it have ice beam but i noticed that my team already have 3 ice attacks and that Rabanito was very toxic weak, so wynaut?. Stockpile rounds the set with the new mechanics (unaware doesn't ignore my boost so i'm almost unkilleable at +3. I decided to run Rest + Sleep Talk instead of Recover because it let me beat stall teams easier, i was facing problems with toxic spikes so i decided to run this, it worked perfectly and i'm very happy with it, not gonna change it, but still, the other options are viable especially if Mew runs Taunt
Luji the Virizion @ Leftovers
Trait: Justified
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Giga Drain
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Focus Blast
I love this thing, is like the Superachi of gen 5, she destroy teams even when she only have 90 spA base, i don't want to see what Keldeo can do with his 129 base. The first time that i saw this set was watching a battle from BadRomance, just that his Virizion have hp rock to troll dittos in the DW.
Evs and stuff: All into spA, enough speed to outspeed Garchomps, and the rest into hp to survive a little more. the attacks and the nature are the classic ones, leftovers for longevity.
Apocalypse the Tyranitar (M) @ Expert Belt
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SDef
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Crunch / Stone Edge
- Pursuit
- Stealth Rock
- Fire Blast
I first have an Agility Lucario here but then i notice that i was weak as fuck to Sunny Days, and needed something to take trick, so i thought in Hydreigon...but then i wanted something more to take draco meteors, especially because i can't predict if Lati@s is going to spam that thing or trick me so Tyranitar was perfect for the job and wanted to join my team :>, he's doing pretty good right now, he take DM like a boss, trap like a boss and help me with those bloody Ninetales
Evs and stuff: Super specially defensive Tyranitar with stealth rock, is working pretty good for me, it doesn't even need attacking evs it OHKOes some Reuniclus with crunch, and 2HKOes max hp / max spD Ferrothorn with Fire Blast. But most importantly it let me beat weather teams like Sunny Day or Rain Dance if i can kill their starters (Poli, Nine, Abomas).
Flask the Scizor (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Technician
EVs: 80 HP / 252 Atk / 176 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Pursuit
- Roost
Flask was named after the admin of another forum who loves Scizor, and is a pretty cool guy. This is my custom Scizor i take the idea from the Scizor on team Layla, and give it more spD evs in order to take Draco Meteors and special hits better and is doing very good.
Evs and stuff: Not much to explain, classic attacks just with LO and Roost, it helps me a lot to recover and switch moves because some people don't notice the LO recoil sometimes. Scizor is my check to things like Virizion, and physicall sweepers who doesn't resist bullet punch too, just in case, priority always comes in handy on a team ths generation.
