Bongos of Death

[The9litch]

Sneak Peak​

I was on Shoddy last night and I got challenged by some dude that was using an offensive team that I was trying to put together also. We battled and I won by luck. His team, was a risky Belly Drum team that aimed to tear through other teams. My team included Smeargle only that can pass BD to my sweepers that were TTar and Gross at the time. After the Battle we helped each other out since we both had the same dream team and I ended up with this team. Hope you like it, Its very fun to use.

Metagross @ Expert Belt
Adamant (+Att - SpAtt)
Clear Body
EVS: 150Hp/252Att/108Spd

• Agility
• Thunderpunch
• Earthquake
• Meteor Mash

I chose to start with an Agiligross, WHY you ask?..Because it loves Weavile, Gyarados, Ninjask, Skarmory and Yanmega leads. 108 EVs in speed in order to reach 406 after one Agility. Note that it will be faster then Gengar, Starmie, Infernape, Azelf, Tyranitar, Heracross, Alakazam, Weavile, Gyarados and other fast sweepers. Most people switch to a scarfer as soon as I get an Agility, but I usually suspect it and use another one just to say a big F*ck You to them. This is a candidate to recieve Belly Drums from Smeargle, after the pass and one Agility, this beast stands with an impressive 1612 attack and 406 speed O_O..Who can wall that?...NO ONE!!!

Gengar @ Choice Scarf
Modest (+SpAtt - Att)
Levitate
EVS: 6Hp/252SpAtt/252Spd

• Shadow Ball
• Hidden Power [Ice]
• Thunderbolt
• Destiny Bond

Everyone either loves or hates this guy. 478 speed with Choice Scarf attached meaning GG to all ScarfChomps and other scarfers like Hera. I'm thinking of running Energy Ball on him for Swampert and Hippowdon or Focus Blast for Blissey and her fellow normal friends but Destiny Bond is doing a good job at trapping people into trading lives, especially Weaviles. Pseudo BoltBeam for Coverage, Shadow Ball for a powerful STAB. I love how Gyarados gets all exited as soon as it gets 2 Dragon Dances and tries to go on a rampage, ScarfGar sends its regards =D.

Swampert @ Leftovers
Relaxed (+ Def - Spd)
Torrent
EVs: 252Hp/216Def/56SpAtt

• Stealth Rock
• Roar
• Ice Beam
• Earthquake

Pretty standard Mixpert with Roar > Surf. Notorious for what he does, then end. This team isn't supposed to be defensive but a little support can never hurt too much. This is my light physical wall.

Tentacruel @ Leftovers
Calm (+SpDef - Att)
Liquid Ooze
EVs: 252Hp/58SpAtt/200 SpDef

• Rapid Spin
• Knock Off
• Surf
• Hidden Power [Electric]

My light special wall. Knock Off > Toxic Spikes because this team doesn't need that much residual damage if things go right. Spins ******** spikes, SR, TS etc...Surf because he walls MixApe so well and HP Electric for Gyarados and fellow water types.

Cradily @ Liechi Berry
Adamant (+Att - SpAtt)
Suction Cups
EVS: 252Hp/252Att/6Def

• Stone Edge
• Earthquake
• Natural Gift
• Recover

The star of this team. This guy works wonders with Ninjask due to speed boosts and Swords Dances but even without Ninjask he still shines. Suction Cups laughs at lousy phazing attempts, Stone Edge and EQ for pure destruction. I didnt like using this guy because he lacked a reliable physical grass STAB move. Little did I know, Natural Gift becomes an 80 base power grass move when the pokemon is holding a Liechi Berry =]. Under a sandstorn this guy can special wall to a certain degree with Recover and counter attack with amazing Belly Drum attacks passed by Smeargle.

Smeargle @ Salac Berry
Jolly (+Spd - SpAtt)
Own Tempo
EVs: 252Hp/252Spd/6Def

• Spore
• Substitute
• Belly Drum
• Baton Pass

This team would be impossible without this little guy. Comes in on something slower, sleep it and set up the pass.

Substitutes​

Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Jolly (+Spd - SpAtt)
Sand Stream
EVS: 252Att/6SpDef/252Spd

• Dragon Dance
• Taunt
• Stone Edge
• Crunch

I might replace my Metagross with this guy because it ***** after 1 DD and it helps out Cradily.

Umbreon @ Leftovers
Bold (+Def - Att)
Synchronize
EVs: 252Hp/252Def/6SpDf

• Mean Look
• Wish
• Baton Pass
• Yawn

Support and mean looker to trap fools and sleep them.

Azumarill @ Life Orb
Adamant (+Att - SpAtt)
Huge Power

• Aqua Jet
• Brick Break
• Substitute
• Waterfall

Imagine Belly Drummed, Huge Powered, Life Orbed Aqua Jets -_-

honostly, once you get rid of metagross, this team isn't that bad, swampert is just so annoying with roar, but HP grass should take care of that

the other pokes aren't really worrisome, easily countered and such, yea it beat my SS team after constant switching and me getting bored (XD), i just made another team, so when i get on, i'll challenge you

 

[The9litch]

I shall be waiting...and this team is just there to have fun with

 

[mood4food77]

i'll bring that team out soon, needs a bit of editing

 

[The9litch]

you know where to find me

[The9litch]

thank you...its been doing fine in the battles so far

 

[Deleted member]

Awesomeness. *Steals smeargle set*.

 

[The9litch]

Ive been thinking of adding a ttar with this set...good or bad idea?...It can replace Metagross:

Tyranitar@ Life Orb
Hasty (+Spd - Def)
Sand Stream
EVs:252Att/146SpAtt/112Spd

• Rock Polish
• Stone Edge
• Crunch
• Ice Beam

After 1 Rock Polish, It out speeds all pokemon with < 407 speed, whick means all the pokemon that are scarfed for Heracross...Stone Edges Gyarados, Infernape, Charizard, Staraptor, Weavile, Skarmory etc. Crunches Gengar, Azelf, Starmie, Alakazam, Metagross, Bronzong, Celebi, Jirachi etc. Ice Beams Salamence, Garchomp, Hippowdon, Gliscor etc...So what do you think.

 

[MysticKenji]

Why Ice Beam > Ice Fang?
Also 146 is not divisible by 4

 

[Deleted member]

Because most of the pokes that ice beam is going to be hitting have rly high def. and not very high sp. def, plus it has higher base power.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Weird...Serebii says Cradily can use Natural Gift...but it's not on Cradily's move list on Shoddy...

 

[The9litch]

You are right...reason is because Natural gift wasnt added on shoddy for some weird reason...no pokemon learns it on shoddy, I gotta tell them that

 

[Kips]

Doesn't Natural Gift consume the berry when used, or is that just my imagination?

 

[ss118]

Doesn't Natural Gift consume the berry when used, or is that just my imagination?

It consumes the berry without its effect ever being used

That's why I use a Chople Berry on my Linoone: if it gets hit by a Fighting attack, nice set up, if it doesn't, OHKO on Aggron/ Bastodion/ Probopass

 

[Kips]

Oh, I hope they change that... Then again wouldn't that make it overshadow Hidden Power?

 

[The9litch]

Hidden Power is fully special now and Natural is physical so I guess theyre 50/50 in use
