Hey guys Nbanut23 here. I decided to try and get back into some competitive Pokemon with a tier I never have tried. Here's a little hyper offensive team I threw together to jump into the meta and I've had surprisingly good results so far.
Forretress @ Custap Berry
Ability: Sturdy
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Explosion
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
Here we have my entire motivation for this team to begin with. I saw Pokeaim running this mon in one of his lives and with the release of Custap lets me run one of my favorite sets of all time. Max attack adamant is self explanatory and the max speed is for not only outspeeding other hazards setters but allowing me to be knocked into Custap range a bit easier. This mon is pretty much irreplaceable unless you have something to convince me otherwise.
Infernape @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 212 Atk / 44 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Gunk Shot
- Close Combat
- Overheat
- U-turn
Here we have a mon I've grown to love through the last week. Not only is it a nice and powerful mon in general it breaks holes in teams. U-Turn is nice for getting in my setup sweepers. These EVs allow for Overheat to OHKO Mega Aggron after rocks 75% of the time while still getting an OHKO on Florges 56% of the time after rocks with Gunk Shot. With those two mons specifically walling my team pretty bad this mon is a staple.
212 Atk Life Orb Infernape Gunk Shot vs. 252 HP / 232 Def Florges: 291-343 (80.8 - 95.2%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
44 SpA Life Orb Infernape Overheat vs. 252 HP / 120 SpD Filter Mega Aggron: 310-365 (90.1 - 106.1%) -- 75% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
Heliolisk @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Dry Skin
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Hyper Voice
- Surf
Here we have an attempted (and occasionally failed) CroCune check. The biggest issue being just too underpowered to 3HKO when it's resting at +2 and my team needing a scarfer to handle the faster threats. I'm debating switching this to 3 attack Rest Shaymin and moving my scarf over to Mence. Any input on this or a better CroCune counter that fits would be lovely.
Salamence @ Leftovers
Ability: Moxie
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Outrage
- Stone Edge
- Dragon Dance
Sweeper number one here. Claims lives with absolutely little to no effort. My biggest issue with this being my need for another scarfer that is not Heliolisk and this mon not being fast enough for my likings as my scarfer. Once again more input on this would be great.
Absol @ Absolite
Ability: Justified
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Sucker Punch
- Superpower
- Swords Dance
Here we have lovely sweeper number 2 here. While this mon might not get the chance to setup as much as I'd like Magic Bounce is amazingly helpful to this team as is its Sucker Punch for some much needed priority.
Alakazam @ Focus Sash
Ability: Magic Guard
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Encore
- Psyshock
- Dazzling Gleam
- Energy Ball
To round out the team I threw on my OH SHIT button. Not only does this help against bulky waters it is an all around dent creator. Encore so things can't setup on it like CroCune or can't Sucker Punch it. Overall just helps break down teams for my two setup sweepers.
Here's the team, any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated. Hope you can wreck with this team as well.
