Zomg. Towlie's First RMT Here.

[Towlie]

Alright, I was off of shoddy for about a month, so I got a little rusty. I've been making a lot of teams lately, but this one actually seems like a keeper. I've only been using it a little while, but I like the feel of it. There's bound to be some changes to be made, so fix away!


The Lineup:

______________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________

Gardevoir (♂) @ Leftovers
Ability: Trace
EVs: 252 HP/32 Spd/56 SAtk/168 SDef
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Psychic
- Hypnosis
- Will-o-wisp
- Thunderbolt

Double Status Gard lead. Yea, Gengars are a common lead, which forces me to switch to Blissey, but this counters Gyara leads pretty good. (This was the idea, and at first I had Hidden Power Electric on this, forgetting Gardevoir learns Thunderbolt. >_<;)

--------

Lucario (♂) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 200 Atk/252 Spd/56 SAtk
Naughty nature (+Atk, -SDef)
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Stone Edge
- Close Combat
- Dark Pulse

MixCario. This is the first team I included a Lucario in. And I really enjoy this set. Hits most stuff for at least neutral. Most people don't expect Scarf on Lucario, so it surprises a lot of stuff. Should I go +Speed nature? EV spread needs a little tweaking.

---------

Blissey (♀) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 196 HP/252 Def/60 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Flamethrower
- Protect
- Wish

I don't like how this does nothing to Heatran, but it can make Specs/Scarf variants run away.

---------

Gliscor (♂) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 Hp/4 Atk/252 Def
Impish nature (+Def, -Sp. Atk)
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- Roost
- Stealth Rock

Gliscor to cover my heraweak. 2 support moves. I don't like the fact that I can't do anything against Fliers such as Physical Salamence, but I love Knock Off too much to get rid of it.

---------

Bronzong @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/152 Def/104 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Psychic
- Grass Knot
- Calm Mind
- Hypnosis

CalmZong. At first this was just a filler pokemon, because I needed something immune to Earthquake, and since Swampert has Stealth Rock, I made this into a Calm Mind set. I have to say, I'm surprised that this actually hits stuff for decent damage.

---------

Tentacruel (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 204 HP/16 Def/36 Spd/156 SAtk/96 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Surf
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Toxic Spikes
- Rapid Spin

After thinking about the last spot, I decided to go with Tentacruel after trying Blastoise as a Rapid Spinner. This Spikes up, Rapid Spins, serves as a secondary Gyara counter, secondary Hera counter, as well as Seeding Celebi counter.
Now it's your turn to fix the team. :D

 

[JabbaTheGriffin]

I'd say the biggest problem is your glaring fighting weakness, your only resist is Gardevoir which I'd argue doesn't really count. Heracross ohkos/2hkos your entire team. if you let luke drop below around 50%, sdluke sweeps you, gallade has a field day too. maybe gliscor > pert?

 

[Slice n Dice]

First glance edits:
Like Jabba said, replace pert for standard Gliscor.
Ice Punch> SE on machamp. You don't want Gliscor to wall you right? Spread should be 108 hp/ 144 attack/ 252 defense/ 8 speed... 3HKOed by Garchomp's earthquake IIRC and can OHKO with an infitely accurate Ice Punch, to go through that fucking sand veil.
By the way, Gyara totally works this team aside from Gardevoir(which can be annihilated after it sets up), so Starmie could potentially work in this team over Zong to cover Gyarados as well as you're Infernape weakness.

 

[IggyBot]

I agree with Jabba, Gliscor over Swampert would really help with your Lucario and Heracross weakness. Also, changing Blissey's EV spread will help stop Specs Lucario from ripping through your team as well. 20 HP / 252 Def / 236 SpDef is what I run (still Bold, but you can go for Calm if you want), and it helps tremendously since you're no longer 2HKO'd by Specs Lucario's Aura Sphere.

 

[Towlie]

I was thinking of Gliscor. The last 2 slots of the team were bugging me a lot when I made this. If I change pert for Gliscor, should I also change the Zong for a bulky water? But if I do, I'd have nothing to switch on ScarfChomps Outrage. Not sure how much Outrage does to Gliscor, but I'd assume it's a 2-3HKO

Ice Punch over SE seems fine, but out of curiosity, what does the 8 speed let Machamp outspeed? Gliscor?

Thanks Iggy, I'll try that EV spread out.

 

[Towlie]

Bump.

Major changes added to the team.

 

[blasphemy1]

Jolly LO Garchomp can OHKO Gliscor with Outrage which is why I second the notion of Starmie or add in ScarfChamp.

 

[Towlie]

How does adding in Starmie stop Garchomp? X:
Jolly LO Chomp OHKOs Starmie with Outrage too.

 

[PiLoKo]

Well just as a comment!, I've just fight this team, and i may say, That Bronzong is something to be scared of
