As a lot of the old members know, I was the Fire Leader for a side league here.
Every now and then I use this unexpectedly good team in what little battles I do have. So now I'm just gonna share it. Please note that this is one of my teams. And my teams are odd. Sooooooo...
The Team
M46 Patton (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Wild Charge
- ExtremeSpeed
- Flare Blitz
We have an Intimidate anti lead to take down those Fake Out users and/or physical Sweepers. This thing has an amazing and highly adaptable move pool that complements it's good attack and speed. If you're in a triples Battle, make this your center lead and weaken ALL of the opponet's leads.
M24 Chaffee (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Eruption
- SolarBeam
- Focus Blast
- Fire Blast/Lava Plume*/Heat Wave**
This thing threatens everything on the opponets team. I've swept with this thing even with it's Scarf. Eurption at full health in Sun destroies even some water types in one blow, though switch out if you take more than 25% and switch to Fire Blast for a somewhat weaker, but still nasty fire attack. * If you're using or Doubles, and the rest of your team has something like flash fire, this will power up the others and allow them to rip the opponet to shreds. **Recommended for triples once you take Damage.
GW Typ E (M) @ Choice Scarf (U mad Smogon? )
Trait: Shadow Tag
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Flamethrower
- Energy Ball
- Clear Smog
Revenge Special Sweeper. Though, this is faster than other scarfed Chandelures so it wont need to worry about getting KOed by another one. Switch out if the opponet sends out a trump card to the move you use.
T-54 (M) @ Life Orb (U mad Smogon? )
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Brave Bird/Earthquake
- Hi Jump Kick
- Protect
- Flare Blitz
Yea... This awesome thing. Fast and hard hitting.Get a Protect up and you pretty much have a sweeper ready. The Move set changes so frequently I just took what was in my team and pasted it. Really a matter of opinion really.
T29 (M) @ Life Orb/Sitrus Berry
Trait: Solar Power
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Heat Wave
- SolarBeam
- Air Slash
- Dragon Pulse
THIS THING IS UTTERLY DESTRUCTIVE! With Solar Power+LifeOrb+Sun+Heat Wave+STAB, I have seen precious few non fire resistant foes survive one turn. Even Evolite Chansey gets more than 75%. Thats downright scary. And it's moove pool, oh god that movepool, its perfect. It's fast enough to outspeed a lot of things. Be on the look out for Stealth Rocks, and if you know it's coming, pack a Sitrus Berry so it wont be totally screwed right off the bat.
Kitten (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Drought
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- SolarBeam
- Heat Wave
- Hypnosis
- Psyshock
Ah yes. Dear Kitten. She's lovely in the start or even in the end game. Someone trying to set up, put them to sleep. Heat Wave for STAB, Solar Beam for Coverage, and Psyshock to supirse Blissey/4Chanseys than\t might otherwise ruin your fun.
General stratagy.
I dont often lead with Ninetales because thanks to some of my occasional weather wars against Ame, I know to keep it unless I really need to use it, then immedeatly switch. I choose my pokemon cafefully to maximize damage by picking the most probable weakness, and deliver pain in the form of fire.
While the team overall has very lacking defense, it's ment to earn a quick win through destructive moves and effects. Other reasonable pokemon that can be on this team include Darmantian, Houndoom, Rapidash, Infernape, pretty much a swath of faster/scarfed fire types can work on this team.
Oh yea this.
