Hello everyone, I've benn playing pokemon dp competitively until i got tired of EV training scouting endlessly for the perfect IVs and such. But then, i tumbled upon Shoddybattle and keept playing from there. I've been working hard on making the best team i can based on a key baton pass. Anyways here it is, I'll explain what i do with the pokemon after introducing them.
Aerodactyl @ Focus Sash
Jolly | Pressure
252 speed 252 atk 4hp
~Stealth Rock
~ Taunt
~Crunch
~Ice fang
No EQ? Why run Crunch and IceFang? EQ is a must, and STAB rock moves are preferred as well
Bronzong @ light clay
Relaxed | Heatproof (for mindgames)
252 hp 252 spd
~Light Screen
~Reflect
~Explosion
E~Q
meh. I still would run Levitiate, so you can switch this guy in easier.
Gliscor@ lum berry
Jolly | hyper cutter
252 hp 196 spd 60 speed
~Swords dance
~Agility
~Baton pass
~taunt
RockPolish>>>>>
Having an attacking move would be nice as well, don't run both Agility and Swords Dance, you will be lucky to pull of one of them.
Metagross @ lum berry
adamant | clear body
252 speed 252 atk 4 hp
~Meteor Mash
~EQ
~thunder punch
~icepunch
Why run Lum if you aren't going to be an agiligross? Agility over one of the punches, and try out rockslide as well. Hits Gyra, Rotom forms, Dragonite, and others for some damage. Or you can try out an Explosion.
Ninjask @ leftovers
Jolly | Speed boost
176 hp 252 atk 80 speed
~Protect
~Swords dance
~Substitute
~Baton pass
Meh, protect and sub? Not an expert, or a fan, of baton pass teams so I wouldn't know.
Rhyperior @ lum berry /lum berry/ 252 atk 252 speed/ adamant/ solid rock
Adamant | solid rock
252 atk 252 speed 4 hp
~Aqua tail
~EQ
~Stone edge
~Swords dance
Why run SD if you have 2 baton passers capable of passing those? Too much of your team relies on setting up, so I would either change the moveset, or better yet, change the pokemon.
Ok first up is aerodactyl , taunt first to cripple other leads, then stealth rock and use crunch and ice fang till i die
EQ/Rockslide would be better.
Next is bronzong, set up dual screen then explosion or EQ if it'll be super effective
meh.
Next is gliscor, again taunt if i feel i'm against a gimmicky pokemon (trickroomers and such)
if not or after the taunt use agility and then swords dance until i eventually have to baton pass
You need an attack. And unless you are playing against terrible players, good luck pulling off anything more than an agility.
Next metagross, the sweeper, never have i lost a match yet having successfully baton passed to this guy.
Sure. But Metagross isn't powerful enough to completely sweep a team without SD, and he is too slow without Agility. I would focus on getting him speed over power.
ok you guys saw the line i drew after metgross, i use ninjask and rhyperior only when my strategy fails and i use them as a hail mary
not a great backup plan =/
ninjask does ninjasky stuff (protect substitute swords dance) then baton pass it to rhyperior and sweep up.
Don't run SD on rhyperior then.
Comments in bold. Sorry if my rating sucks, baton pass teams are gimmikey at best, and this one is no different. Sure, if you manage to pull it off, it almost gives you the game, but this team is one of the lower quality baton pass teams I have seen. There are no special attackers on this team, allowing the powerful walls of OU to lol at your team. Skarmory and Hippo, along with walling the **** out of your team, can phaze out any boosts you are trying to pass, and you don't have an answer for them. Consider rethinking this whole team bro, and try to stay away a team that relies completely on batonpass for success.
EDIT: If anyone cares, I just went up against a baton pass team that
almost got me. I guess I should cut and paste in the log that noone will actually read.
