Hello, and here's another RMT by yours truly--today with something I whipped up a couple nights ago when I couldn't sleep. Without further ado, let's go.
A/N- This is from my phone again, sorry...
~Teambuilding!
I went with a lead I've really come to.like since being suggested to me a while ago--Fake Out Infernape.
Infernape/???/???/???/???/???
Now I wanted something with Raw power that could help me dominate in any condition--singles, doubles, triples, and Trick Room. Browsing through things, I fell in love with this behemoth. Banded Dragonite (Credit to Xiph and Dark Desire).
Infernape/Dragonite/???/???/???/???
Now looking at this, I was in sure need of something to destroy the opponent on the special side. So I adopted something from a recent team, Specs Jolteon.
Infernape/Dragonite/Jolteon/???/???/???
Now. I had run out of ideas. So I went to a place bound to give inspiration--the Reborn League Hall of Fame. I looked over some of the Season Two Champions, and a little thing I had never considered before caught my eye with that brilliant moustache. Thanks to Dark Desire, Alakazam was put on board.
Infernape/Dragonite/Jolteon/Alakazam/???/???
Now came a tough time. I wanted something with a load of resistances and some nice power to boot. Another old thing caught me--SD Scizor.
Infernape/Dragonite/Jolteon/Alakazam/Scizor/???
3 Physical Attackers and two special was my outcome. Now came a tough choice--something to stall and status, or another Special attacker? Thinking about it, I took the most pleasing choice to me. Gengar.
Infernape/Dragonite/Jolteon/Alakazam/Scizor/Gengar
And there you have it folks. A 3/3 team of guys determined to hang in there and get the job done. I almost considered Glaceon over Jolteon, but I couldn't find a good set.
~Closer Look!
Neku (Infernape)@Life Orb
252 Atk, 4 Sp. Def, 252 Speed
Trait- Iron Fist
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -Sp. Atk)
-Fake Out
-Mach Punch
-Fire Punch
-Rock Slide
I really have come to love this monkey here. Fake Out is to throw off anything who thinks it can set up or cripple my other pokemon-namely Dragonite. Mach Punch is boosted by Iron Fist, and has nice STAB Priority. Fire Punch is basic STAB, boosted by Iron Fist. The last slot was a toss up between ThunderPunch and Rock Slide--facing the possibility of Trips, Rock Slide won out.
Laxus (Dragonite) @Choice Band/Scarf
252 Atk, 4 Def, 252 Speed
Trait- Multiscale
Adamant/Jolly Nature (+Atk, -Sp. Atk; +Speed -Sp. Atk)
-Dragon Claw
-Fire Punch
-Rock Slide
-Extremespeed
This set is credit of Xiph/Dark Desire (Thanks guys) and I really like it as an alternative to standard DDance set. Immediate power right off the bat is amazing. Dragon Claw is powerful STAB, and ExtremeSpeed is powerful +2 Priority. Fire Punch denies any Steel Types the ability to wall the mighty Laxus, and Rock slide covers the Ice Weakness quite well, and adds offensive power against Bennett and his damned Volcarona/Yanmega.
Isa (Jolteon) @Choice Specs
252 Sp. Atk, 252 Speed
Trait- Volt Absorb
Timid Nature (+Speed, -Atk)
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power Ice
-Shadow Ball
-Signal Beam
Specs Jolteon hits a respectable 478 Sp. Atk and 393 Speed--Nothing to laugh at. BoltBeam coverage is insanely deadly here, as well as Shadow Ball and Signal Beam as backup options. Nothing from her is going to tickle at all. Volt Absorb is so I can laugh at Sigmund trying to boost his Electivire's speed with Discharge.
Alice (Gengar) @Black Sludge
252 Sp. Atk, 252 Speed
Trait- Levitate
Modest Nature (+Sp. Atk, -Atk)
-Shadow Ball
-Icy Wind
-Psychic
-Focus Blast
Alice in Chains here is probably one of the most potent sweepers in the metagame. Amazing Speed, Sp. Atk, and a nice special movepool is amazing to play with. Shadow Ball is pure terror from her. Icy Wind is meant to lower speed so other pokemon can pick off the opponent. Focus Blast murders any Steel types trying to get clever on me. Psychic is to eliminate the ever present Fighting Types, who can hit me hard with Payback, Conkelderp in particular.
Roxas (Scizor) @??? Berry (Lowers damage from supereffective Fire moves)
252 Atk, 252 Sp. Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -Sp. Atk)
Trait- Technician
-Swords Dance
-Bullet Punch
-Bug Bite
-Brick Break
SD Scizor is amazingly powerful. One boost nets a huge 718 Attack, without Adamant. Bullet Punch is one of the strongest moves here-Technician boosted, STAB Priority. Bug Bite is secondary Stab with a nice 90-base power from Technician. Brick Break shatters any protective measures used by anyone to stop this monster.
Mustachio (Alakazam) @Life Orb
252 Sp. Atk, 252 Speed
Trait- Magic Guard
Modest Nature (+Sp. Atk, -Atk)
-Psychic
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast
-Recover
This man is pretty cool. Life Orb ups the damage output, and Magic Guard negates damage from said Life Orb. Psychic is a powerful STAB option that can hit hard and lower Sp. Def. Shadow Ball is my secondary option to hit hard, and ALSO had a nice chance to lower Sp. Def. Focus Blast denies Steel, Rock, and Normal types who decide to get clever. Recover is thrown there to heal off damage, but will likely be replaced.
So that's it! Another RMT down. As always, comment below and don't be afraid to suggest replacements.
~Silver-kun
~Edits made!
-Gengar given Giga Drain over Psychic
-Alakazam given Psyshock and Thunderbolt over Psychic and Recover, respectively
-Reluctantly, Infernape given Heat Wave over Rock Slide and Thunderpunch over Fire Punch.
-Above change has been repealed and Infernape is back to his original set.
