Team My Rate

[Wave⁂]

Advice is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Bronzong @ Macho Brace
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/86 Atk/80 Def/92 SDef
Sassy nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Gyro Ball
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Trick

Stealth Rock for Stealth Rock. STAB Gyro Ball, I like to throw that out before Stealth Rock if I predict a Taunt coming up. Macho Brace and minimum speed IV gives it a nice boost. Earthquake for more coverage. Trick to cripple sweepers, or to just mess with my opponent.

Scizor (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 32 HP/252 Atk/224 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Brick Break
- Bullet Punch
- X-Scissor
- Swords Dance

I love this guy. Swords Dance + Bullet Punch + Technician is awesome. X-Scissor and Brick Break are for type coverage, though I'm not so sure if I should be using them (Technician Boosted HP?).

Infernape (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 64 Atk/194 Spd/252 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Nasty Plot
- Fire Blast
- Close Combat
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Ehhhh, Mixnape, 'nuff said

Empoleon (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP/160 Def/96 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Surf
- Grass Knot
- Ice Beam
- Roar

Physical Wall with some decent attacks and Roar to get rid of Pokemon that counter it. I'm not so sure about his attacks, though. He complements...

Togekiss (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP/6 Def/252 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Thunder Wave
- Air Slash
- Roost
- Substitute

ParaFlinch! Throw up some chunky substitutes, Thunder Wave to cripple my opponent, and STAB Air Slash to annoy my opponent more. Roost is just Roost. Heal and to get rid of weaknesses. 75% chance to get past paralysis, 40% chance to not get flinched... 30% chance to hit me.

Salamence (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 232 Atk/252 Spd/24 SAtk
Naughty nature (+Atk, -SDef)
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast

Physical Sweeper. Should I switch him out for a Special Sweeper? Or should I get rid of Scizor?

 

[KrazyGlue]

Bronzong- Bronzong is already slow as hell. No need for macho brace, unless you're planning on being able to send it off with trick. But it that case, you might get an item you don't want. Also, why the strange EV spread?

Scizor: Why not max out speed? Other than that, looks fine.

Infernape: Nasty plot relies on prediction, but if you can do that right then this set works.

Empoleon: Looks fine.

Togekiss: Looks fine. I guess you're afraid of special attacks rather than physical ones...

Salamence: Why 24 sp. atk EVs? I would keep it; set looks fine.

Overall: Well, there's no huge issues, but it's not really amazing either. Fairly well constructed. Lots of your pokemon will be outspeeded, so maybe you want to throw in another 100+ base stat speed pokemon. I would add at leat one move that can deal with the likes of dusknoir. Watch out for special sweepers with the bolt/beam combo.

88/100

I think it had to do with Gyro Ball's damage or something.

Scizor: Why not max out speed? Other than that, looks fine.

32 HP EVs allow eleven uses of Life Orb, and Speed isn't that necessary as Scizor doesn't have much speed anyway and has his kickass priority move to make up for that.

Infernape: Nasty plot relies on prediction, but if you can do that right then this set works.

Doesn't nearly all of the game rely on prediction?

Togekiss: Looks fine. I guess you're afraid of special attacks rather than physical ones...

Well, Togekiss does have good specially defensive stats. And Sub.

Salamence: Why 24 sp. atk EVs? I would keep it; set looks fine.

To always OHKO Skarmory with Fire Blast.

Overall, good set OP. You may want to switch Brick Break to Superpower on Scizor to wreck more pokés, like Heatran.

89/100

Um... okay...

I don't really like low PP attacks. I might try Superpower, though. Thanks!

I hate Bronzong leads, because few leads can go one-to-one with it. Not bad.

Scizor (M) @ Life Orb

Brick Break is trash. Everything that you would normally use Brick Break on would Phaze you out or OHKO you. SuperPower plz.

Meh, never really saw a point to mixape+np. I always prefer type coverage (grass knot) over NP.

Physical wall weak to EQ and Fighting? No thank you. Change this to anything else please.

Wut. This set looks good on paper, but tons of **** (Scizor mainly) can come in on either of your walls and **** them, even Paralized.

Salamence (M) @ Life Orb

Fine....

Physical Sweeper. Should I switch him out for a Special Sweeper? Or should I get rid of Scizor?

Nothing on your team can take thunderbolts or punchs at all. Magnezone hurts your team.
80/100 if you change brick break to superpower.
77/100 otherwise.
