Conor Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi everyone, thought i might make an RMT for the new league team I made. any input would be great! First Glance Sets (M) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Shadow Tag EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Heat Wave - Energy Ball - Shadow Ball - Hidden Power [ice] Anti lead chandy, traps the opposing lead in and uses scarf speed and his huge sp attk stat to destroy. Heat wave is for triples situations. Energy ball is to handle ground/water pokemon such as swampert and gastradon, as well as ground pokemon in general. Shadow ball is a stab move that hits most pokes hard. Hidden power ice is for coverage against gliscor and dragons. no one really leads with gliscor but i have been seeing some dragonite leads lately. (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Technician EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Mach Punch - Bullet Seed - Spore - Swords Dance as much as i wish i was using a sub punch set for the sake of this picture, i am running instead a tech loom. this guy really helps against sand and is very necessary since Terra always gives me so much trouble. mach punch also gives this team some much needed priority. Spore is... well spore, a high accuracy sleep move. bullet seed gets the technitian boost as well as stab. swords dance is easy to use on this set because of spore. I'm not sure that leftovers is the best choice, i was thinking about maybe trying life orb instead. thoughts, feelings? @ Life Orb Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Thunder - Ice Beam - Surf - Grass Knot oh hey starmie. Starmie is a beast who has so much coverage its not even funny. speed plus nature brings him up to 361 speed. Thunder gives me a strong electrical attack, which will help me do better with amaria this time around. Ice beam is to hit dragons and flyings. Surf is the main attack taking out most things in a OHKO or 2HKO. I use surf over hydro pump for league purposes. Grass knot has the same use as energy ball on chandy, to hit dem bulky water/ground pokes. (F) @ Focus Sash Trait: Mold Breaker EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Dragon Dance - Dual Chop - Earthquake - Rock Slide Haxorus. I mean really not much to say other than hes my dedicated physical sweeper. Dragon dance for the boosts obviously. Dual Chop is to break subs and sashes. Even though it doesn't have as much accuracy as dragon claw... i still use it for some reason. earthquake hits pokes with levitate thanks to mold breaker so screw you gengar. rock slide i used b/c filler. it hits in triples soooo thats a plus i guess. (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Contrary EVs: 128 Def / 128 SDef / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Leaf Storm - Hidden Power [Fire] - Dragon Pulse - Substitute My own seriprior set. 128 split evs in defenses to give some tank ability. most non stab ice beams will have to 3HKO and stab will 2HKO giving serp a chance to leaf storm. Leaf Storm is sick because of contrary. hidden power fire is to take care of ferrothorn. I used dragon pulse to cover dragons since i opted for hp fire over hp ice. Substitute is really a filler but gives serp an opportunity to set up. I'm thinking of replacing it with either glare or giga drain in case LS runs out of PP. (M) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Moxie EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Earthquake - Crunch - Stone Edge - Pursuit Krookodile is awesome sauce. He's really not all that useful but i use him regardless. this is a typical moxie scarf set. Equake for stab. Crunch for moar stab. Pursuit for EVEn MOAR STAB and to catch them chandys and gengars on the switch out. Stone edge is to take care of the flying types that equake can't hit. Okay so there's the team, any advice would be appreciated and thanks for reading. Oh sidenote: when i tried to post this every time i tried to pose a cool picture of the first 4 it said "your not aloud to use that extension on this communitiy" so i just put in sprites for those and kept the pictures i could. kthxbai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanco Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Ha-har. You asked, I answered. Having Starmie go on a full-frontal assault sounds plausible, but when you look at the rest of the team you've got two choice users, one of them weak to Stealth Rock, and no way to absorb Toxic Spikes. You gotta give Starmie Rapid Spin - perhaps in the place of Grass Knot considering the fact that you have more than enough Grass presence on your team. You have no way to avoid Ground-type attacks. Even though Breloom and Serperior both resist, you still will want something that Chandy can switch into. This team gets 8.5/10. Some notable weaknesses in the team that be exposed with pokemon like Mamoswine.,but all in all this has nice overall STAB coverage and that will go a long way for you in League.

Conor Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yeah i was thinking about rapid spin but who puts up rocks in league besides Terra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Desire Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 From my league experience, i don't recall any leaders using any sort of hazards so i think you should be fine Conor, but nice league team! Nice type variety so i'm sure you'll take the league by storm! Rate: 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanco Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yeah i was thinking about rapid spin but who puts up rocks in league besides Terra? Any leader that wants to. Usually, it will be just Terra and Titania, but even Sigmund laid Stealth Rock down on me before. So anything is possible. But also beware of Toxic Spikes, Spikes, that sort of thing. Since you have nothing that can absorb Toxic Spikes or even be immune to poison, you're inevitably going to face a problem because of it.

Skeleton Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I like Chandelure and Serperior so this is a good team. HAVE SOME MANA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamina Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 seems good. Earthquake from krokodile is going to kill all of you Pokemon though in triples. although in singles, this team seems great! 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraRPetO Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Rapid Spin would be useless for league, even with stealth rock, your team would be fine without Rapid Spin you need the last 4 EVs on some pokemon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
