This team was 5/6 cool before Garchomp was banned. ;_;

The Final Countdown is now playing in your head.
Jolly Garchomp M @ Choice Band
Sand Veil

~ Dragon Claw
~ Earthquake
~ Crunch
~ Stone Edge

4 HP / 252 ATK / 252 SPD. I almost never go into battle without him. I used to always lead with him, and I occasionally still do, but the Choice Band usually tends to backfire on me. How I use him is pretty obvious: a sweeper. With a very high base ATK stat, Choice Band (+150%), and STAB, Garchomp nearly OHKOs many Pokemon simply using Dragon Claw or Earthquake. The standard set is to use Outrage instead of Crunch, but I personally don't like getting locked. Crunch is usually just there for Gengar, Alakazam, or Starmie if I can outspeed it.

Impish GliscorM @ Leftovers
Hyper Cutter

~ Stone Edge
~ Earthquake
~ Roost
~ Stealth Rock

252 HP / 40 DEF / 216 SPD. Gliscor is one of the most situational Pokemon I have. Much better on doubles to be honest, but that doesn't mean he doesn't destroy in singles. First and foremost, Stealth Rock. I usually try very hard to get this set up immediately. Depending on what condition Gliscor is in, I either attack or Roost off the damage (which temporarily clears me out of Flying, so Ice is only 2x instead of 4x; but then again, why the **** would I put Gliscor against an Ice-type? :p). And if things just don't look good for Gliscor, switching out isn't always a bad move.

Adamant Scizor M @ Life Orb
Technician

~ Swords Dance

~ Bullet Punch
~ Brick Break
~ X-Scissor

32 HP / 252 ATK / 224 SPD. SWORDSDANCESWORDSDANCESWORDSDANCE. The way I maneuver with Scizor depends entirely on how I sent him in. If I start (which is rarely ever) or get dragged out, I Swords Dance as many possible times I can, the max. being 3. If someone fainted and I chose Scizor, I usually almost always Bullet Punch for the revenge kill. After a few Swords Dances, Bullet Punch usually becomes my primary attack. Brick Break's just there for walls. X-Scissor is the strongest attack, which usually kills very easily. All in all, I ****ing love Scizor. <3

Adamant Electivire M @ Expert Belt

Motor Drive

~ ThunderPunch

~ Ice Punch
~ Cross Chop
~ Earthquake

4 HP / 252 ATK / 252 SPD. Electivire is as straightforward as they get. A variety of moves with high Atk and Expert Belt to help out. A very good sweeper imo.

Bold Blissey F @ Leftovers
Natural Care

~ Seismic Toss

~ Ice Beam
~ Thunder Wave
~ Softboiled

148 HP / 252 DEF / 108 Sp. ATK. Not the combative type at all. This Blissey's just for spreading statuses around. Paralysis + Seismic Toss = <3. A clean 100 very turn, and if things ever go wrong, just Softboiled and start again. More useful on doubles, but whatever.

---


Jolly Weavile M @ Focus Sash
Pressure

~ Night Slash
~ Ice Punch
~ Ice Shard
~ Brick Break

4 HP / 252 ATK / 252 SPD. Probably one of my most favorites, simply because it destroys so many things in its path. I used to have Pursuit in place of Ice Shard, but it got to the point where I hardly ever used Pursuit, and I kept thinking, "That Pokemon would've been gone if I had Ice Shard." So, that's what I did. Since it outspeeds nearly anything, I just need to choose one move to finish it the next turn, in most cases. I don't want to risk using a Swords Dance moveset in case of Tyranitar. With Focus Sash, I can deal a lot of damage and stay in for one last turn, or two if Ice Shard kills.

Anyways, that's my team. What do you guys think? :p

Personally, I don't like Gliscor. You have two ice moves on weavile, I'd replace them with an HP counter.

Typical Bold Blissy Fer Sure. So I dunno what to say.

Identical to my Electivire, your the shiz :bigthu

Garchomp, is well Garchomp lol, he's **** ^^

I'm pretty sure, a good salamance could dominate the first half of your team.

Dragon Pulse on Garchomp


And I don't know ANYTHING about scizor.

Considering you already have several physical sweepers, I'd consider changing Electivire to a specially based mixed set:

Electivire@Expert Belt/Life Orb
Mild
36 Atk/252 Sp. Atk/220 Spd
-Thunderbolt
-Flamethrower
-HP Ice/Grass
-Cross Chop

Sure it comes off his lower stat, but it hits his counters better and isn't walled as easily. You may also want to implement a water type in there somewhere so Vire can get his Motor Drive boost.

I've actually been meaning to replace Garchomp with Gengar, Stamie, or Alakazam for the special sweeper. But I'll try SpecialVire out. :p
