Gengar (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hypnosis
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball

Gengar sets the tempo for the battle. I generally like to use Hypnosis only on slower things. I will switch out if its faster,as I don't want to tip my hand too much in the beginning of the battle. However if its a Weavile I CAN,WILL,AND MUST tip my hand. How does it matter becuase in the end their crippled. I don't use Focus Blast becuase it doesn't OHKO Tyranitar,and I'm considering dropping HP:Ice and going with Will-O-Wisp to cripple Physical attackers.

Gallade (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Steadfast
EVs: 64 HP/252 Atk/192 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Ice Punch
- Night Slash

The star of the show. Comes in mid-game generally on a support move and wreaks havoc. With an attack stat equivalent to that of a Heracross and that decent Sp.Def this guys not going down without a fight. I'm torn between Jolly/Adamant however. With Adamant I get a solid 50 points more of attack but with Jolly I can outspeed 252 Spd,no +Spd Lucarios.With Adamant I can 2HKO Cresslia guranteed with Night Slash without Stealth Rock. Whereas with Jolly Stealth Rock is a must to 2HKO Cresselia. I may also just forego Choice Band and run a Choice Scarf set with just enough speed for Weavile. Some help here please?

Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 88 HP/140 Atk/148 Def/132 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Waterfall
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance

My own custom EV spread. 88 HP hits a leftovers recovery number. 140 attack gives its attacks a bit of a kick(unlike standra Bulky-Dos) after a Dragon Dance. 148 Defence is almost as bulky as 180 Defence,just took a little out of there to ensure that Porygon-Z's Download increases its Attack rather than its Sp.Attack when it switches in. And the speed is there for outspeeding 9Spd 252,Infernape after a Dragon Dance to avoid being killed by Thunder Punch.Stone Edge is here just for opposing Gyrados/Salamence. I'm considering using Ice Fang over Stone Edge however. But this really doesn't have to act as my main 'Chomp counter as my vapoeroen can switch-in after an SD survive and Ice Beam it to hell.

Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 88 HP/252 Def/48 Spd/120 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Softboiled
- Aromatherapy
- Seismic Toss
- Ice Beam

My cleric. Heals the team with Aromatherapy,and is my usual switch-in for potential sleepers to scout their moveset. has Ice Beam to hurt Salamence's/Chomps on predicted switch-in's. Seismic Toss is for Raikou obviously.

Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 188 HP/252 Def/68 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Wish

Counter Vaporeon like Counter-Star,this guy is severely underated. Acts as my main Mix-Ape counter,its superb Sp.Def and Light weight allowing it to easily take even a Nasty plotted Infernape's Grass Knot,Surf is there for that naughty Monkey. Acts as my main 'Chomp Counter as staed above. And sends Gyarados to hell with its HP:Electric,and of course Wish for supporting the team,especially Gallade!

Forretress (M) @ Shed Shell
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 248 HP/100 Atk/162 Def
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- Gyro Ball
- Earthquake

Helps me out with my SD-Lucario/Weavile weakness. Switches into Weavile for free Spikes/SR and gets recovery form Vaporeon's Wish. EQ is there with the attack EVS for that annoying SD-Lucario,Spikes/SR help wear down the opposing team members just enough so that my gladiator and come in and take them out in a blaze of glory.

So Smogon rate my team!
 
Focus Blast does OHKO a T-Tar. You must of calculated Focus Blast vrs. a 252 HP, 252 SpcDef Careful T-Tar.

I'm not sure where your getting your Calcs from, but the only way you could possibly 2HKO a 252 HP, 112 Def Bold Cresselia is with a +Nature 252 CB Night Slash AND Stealth Rock, in which it still has a very slim chance of 2HKOing with Leftovers (it does 40.93% - 48.19%, and you'd need to get at least 47.00% with each hit). I'd design it to fit your needs in your team, since you shouldn't expect to 2HKO Cress.

Unless your Gyara has a 30 IV in HP, you wasted 4 EVs in HP. 84 HP EVs would hit 352 for optimal HP recovery.

Is there a reason you want your Bliss to tie with a No-Speed T-Tar?
 
IIRC Boah has 159 Speed, in which it'd still outspeed you.

Even if you did outspeed a Boah, it wouldn't stop it from making 101 Subs and Focus Punching you with a 1 HP Sub up.
 
x-scissor has a chance to run through cresselia, only to be walled by dusknoir.

and no, it doesnt matter if you tie with a boah it will still beat you.
 
Meh you're right >_>,Grass Knot then? How man EVS are required for Grass Knot to break Tyranitar's subs. btw thanks for posting here :). Keep the rates coming people.
 
you're not even boah weak with vappy and gyara lol stop worrying about it.

either way id try to spead some para to help gallade sweep.

Click to expand...

Doesn't boah have tbolt? Or am I so out of the loop? CBTar seems to be the only tar set that anyone actually uses. On a similar note, swampert is a godly counter for boah.

And paralysis is always going to be a good Idea with gallade. Twave gyara could is heaps of fun. =D
 
lol I'mc urrently using

Jirachi@Leftovers/Shed Shell
220 HP/252 Def/rest in Atk
-Impish
~Reflect
~U-Turn
~Body Slam
~Wish
Ideaas? I sthis good over Forry? Also does vaporeon get OHKO'd by +SpD SD'D Chomp after SR? If so I'll switch back to Forry.
But this has helped me quite a bit. I'm also considering Shed Shellto escape Specsone/CB-Duggy so I can just switch out and go Zen Headbuttt for that MASSIVE Hera-weak my team has. It also helps in being a secondary wisher. But I do admit passing wishes with U-Turn is beastly.Help?
 
LOL CB Night Slash comes nowhere near 2HKOing THE MOST COMMON Cresselia, which is max HP/Def with Bold. In fact it does a pityful 33% which with Lefties isn't even a 3HKO.
 
Well definitely keep Adamant since your team is actually fast to and you don't want to 5HKO Cressy, jk that was an exxageration but really, keep Adamant.
