I can already see the looks on your faces:
(O.o) - OMG! Another RMT?!
Well...yeah...I actually like to build teams; it forces me to put my gimungous (sp check plz) brain to work, coming up with strategies no one's thought about before...:nerd:
While my primary team is kicking azz and taking names, I fear that there will be those trainers who are out to get me, and make a team that pretty much counters mine...*cough *shadydentist*cough*...Ahem, sorry 'bout that...
As you may or may not have noticed, I tend to stray a bit away from the standard movesets of a lot of the OU/BL Pokemon, and still be rather effective in my opinion...
So I devised this team for the folks that can't take a loss lightly (not that my Water team can't tear them to shreds, which it does
)...
==========
Bronzong - DoomRinger @ Leftovers
Bold / Levitate
EVs - 106 HP, 252 Def, 152 SpDf
~Shadow Ball
~HP Fighting
~Calm Mind
~Hypnosis
Put a foe to sleep, Calm Mind like crazy, and Sweep with the unstoppable combo of Ghost + Fighting! Blissey and Snorlax cause problems, however...I give Leftovers instead of the usual Occa Berry, because no one seems to use Fire attacks anymore, save for SpecsMence...Bronzong leads sometimes give me trouble, so I figured I could be just as annoying (in my own special way
).
--------------------
Ninjask - Shinobi @ Focus Sash/Leftovers
Jolly / Speed Boost
EVs - 6 HP, 252 Att, 252 Spd
~X-Scissor
~Swords Dance
~Baton Pass
~Protect/Substitute
I don't know if this is standard or not, but it works to my cause nonetheless. I use it mainly to BP some Speed and Attack to Dusknoir. Protect and Substitute will depend on my mood...
--------------------
Dusknoir - PhasePhist @ Expert Belt/Shell Bell/Leftovers
Careful / Pressure
EVs - 106 Att, 202 Def, 202 SpDf
~Shadow Sneak/Punch
~Brick Break
~Thunder Punch
~Ice Punch
This is my SuperSweeper, as long as it gets Ninjask's BP boosts.; decent Sweeper nonetheless. If you haven't noticed, I devised a repetiore for Dusknoir that allows it to take on any Pokemon type and hit for at least neutral damage...
IPunch + TPunch = Physical BoltBeam, resisted by only Magnezone, Lanturn, etc.
SSneak + BBreak = NOTHING RESISTS!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
The item is what bothers me most: Expert Belt for a little extra damage on super-effective hits; Shell Bell should restore a decent amount of Dusknoir's crappy HP, because it'll be dealing massive amounts of damage to non-PhysiWalls (Skarmory >.<#), and will more than likely have much better HP than him; and Leftovers for steady recovery, though that doesn't count for much...
--------------------
Azelf - Psychutie @ Choice Scarf/Specs/Wisdom Glasses/Life Orb/Expert Belt
Timid / Levitate
EVs - 6 HP, 252 SpAt, 252 Spd
~Psychic/Extrasensory
~Flamethrower
~Thunderbolt
~HP Fighting/Focus Blast
Azelf is supposed to be a great Special Sweeper, and I wanted to try it out. Psychic of course is for power, while Extrasensory has that small chance of Flinch in case the opponent survives; Flamethrower is for annoying little Steel types and any Bug that dares come up against it; Thunderbolt is for Empoleon and Starmie, which can take the first two attacks pretty well; and HP Fighting is for Blissey and Snorlax, possibly the only two Pokemon able to effectively take it down nonetheless. I wanted to go with a ScarfSweeping Azelf because of those other Scarfers such as Garchomp, Heracross, and sometimes Porygon-Z that can easily outspeed and trash Azelf if it didn't have the Scarf; but like any ChoiceSweeper, it requires a bit of scouting for it to be very effective. I have the Specs if I feel that Azelf could use a bit more punch; Expert Belt, Wisdom Glasses, and Life Orb for a freer attack strategy.
--------------------
Salamence - Dreamer @ Expert Belt/Life Orb
Timid / Intimidate
EVs - Att 128, SpAt 128, Spd 252
~Dragon Pulse
~Flamethrower
~Earthquake
~Shadow Claw
I'm using Salamence as a MixSweeper; blasphemy, I know, but I think it can work...I use Dragon Pulse for STAB; Flamethrower for Steels, the only Pokemon that can resist DPulse; Earthquake for Electrics (who will almost always have an Ice attack) and Empoleon (the SpecsMence counter, big surprise for you
); and Shadow Claw for toasty Ghosties and Psychics...Expert Belt and Life Orb give nice boosts to attacks...I've come to like the Belt...
--------------------
Swampert - Muddin @ Leftovers/Rindo Berry
Careful / Torrent
EVs - 100 HP, 158 Def, 252 SpDf
~Earthquake
~Avalanche
~Hammer Arm
~Curse
I didn't have a Water type (which I absolutely must), nor a Pokemon that can absorb Thunderbolts and Waves, so I chose my favorite Water/Ground Pokemon: Swampert. Another CursePert...but wait! It has a Careful Nature and full SpDf EVs?! Well, yeah. I like to bit just a little surprising. I don't know exact calculations, but I feel that when someone uses a SpAttack (but God forbid it's a Grass move) and it does a third or fourth of the damage they expect, they be like: "OMG! Shadow Ball did CRAP!" and get a nice Curse-boosted (if applicable) EQ/Avalanche/HArm to the face .
==========
So, yeah...Another RMT to take up space in the Rating Room (not really, I have a need to be a winner). As usual, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Credit goes to Aryman for making me realize my team has major flaws...
Shadydentist isn't out to get me, but I know his team totally counters my primary...
I apologize if you've gone blind mulitple times reading my posts, but blue is my favorite color...
Thanks, folks! Now let's make some MAGIC!
