Blast Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) So, hi. I wanted to make a stall team, that can counter the "un-counterable Terrakion. SO I based this team aroun Unaware Quagsire. Enjoy~ Tyranitar (F) @ Choice Band Trait: Sand Stream EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Crunch - Stone Edge - Superpower - Pursuit To lead my team is Banded-Tyranitar. This --guy-- girl can Crunch the ever-popular Deoxys-S/Deoxys-D, and Stone Edge or Superpower Forretress. T-Tar is basicly a counter-lead/ late game sweeper. With Choice Band, her attack is high enough to use Superpower around twice, until being forced to switch out to Blissey to tank Special attacks, and Gliscor/Quagsire/Forretress for Physical attacks. http://%20http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/242.gif%20 Blissey (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SDef Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Softboiled - Stealth Rock - Seismic Toss - Toxic This team, before stalling, likes to set up hazards, this is the first step. After SR is up, Bliisey will Toxic-Softboiled until the opponent is dead. When another member is in, I can switch her in to sponge any Special move. On some occasions, she will go attack mode and Seismic Toss the hell out of things, with a whopping 100 damage! ._. Gliscor (F) @ Toxic Orb Trait: Poison Heal EVs: 252 HP / 36 Def / 220 Spd Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Protect - Earthquake - Ice Fang - Swords Dance Ahh, Toxic-Stall Gliscor, beautiful isn't it? Can'y say much about this basic set. Usually try to set up a SD to counter Latios/Latias, Ice Fang usually 2HitKO's them, if it isn't killed in the in between. E-Quake+ Ice Fang are great coverage for mostly anything that switches in , Breloom is usually killed by this, yay countering. http://%20http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/195.gif%20 Quagsire (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Unaware EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd) - Scald - Earthquake - Toxic - Recover The star of this team, Quagsire, counter any non-Grass type pokemon that sets up. SD Terrakion? No problem. SD Sczior? No Problem. SD Breloom? Latias says Hello. A mix-attack set makes sure to counter most pokemon. Latios/Latias can be Toxic-stalled out by spamming Recover. If a Grass type comes up, I switch in Latias to counter it, and maybe sat up a CM. Without Quagsire, my yeam would be wrecked by these Swords Dancing hooligans that are popular nowadays. Latias (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate EVs: 12 HP / 252 SAtk / 244 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Calm Mind - Dragon Pulse - Surf - Recover This along with T-Tar, are my main Sweepers/Attackers. I had HP-Fire, but I found Surf a great counter to Sun Teams who lost the weather war, and a Landorus who feels brave enough to try to set up a Rock Polish. As stated before, Latias is my Grass counter. If Latias is taken out, my team is highly susectible to any Grass type, especially ones with Toxic Heal or a Poison countertype, like Amoongus. http://%20http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/205.gif%20 Forretress (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 24 Def / 232 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Spikes - Rapid Spin - Toxic - Volt Switch Step 2 in the setting-up of hazards, Spikes shall be laid. Another brick in the Toxic brigade of Toxicing. I ususally switch in this --guy-- girl against Ferrothorn, spinning away the predicted Leech Seed and/or any hazards that are laid. If I can survive a hit from Shadow Tag Chandelure (not likely) I can Volt Switch away, avoinding the trap. That's all for my third RMT. Please constructive critizize away. I hoped you enjoyed my version of a "stall" team. Edited March 23, 2013 by Blast Quote
Summer Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Not bad, except maybe you wanna try Shed shell on Ferrothorn instead, leftovers usually can't help you against trapp3rs like Magnezone. Quote
Dark Desire Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Blast is currently having trouble editing the Rmt, so he asked me to tell y'all to save the comments until everythings fixed. Quote
Melody Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Honestly, I always felt like swords dance on Gliscor just didn't do the trick, plus, he would be better with sub, so he can at least get a hit in on a switch.Although, it is nice, 8.7/10 Quote
Blast Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 Hmm, I'll try that, the feeling of getting a SD up, then forced to switch is horrible. Thanks for the tip. Quote
diana Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Blissey has no place where she takes Residual Damage. At all. Give Quagsire something to boost those defenses. He may have unaware, but still shit defensive stats. Boast them, and you have a small chance if surviving even a Grass Attack. That's it. 8/10. Quote

Shanco Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I disagree with Silver on the thing about residual damage. That's for the most part offset by her massive HP and the fact that she uses Leftovers; she's used a lot as a special wall on many sand teams for that reason. - regarding Gliscor: go ahead and use SD Gliscor, but you need to ramp up your Attack / Speed EVs and swap Protect for Substitute. Gliscor, at 95 base Speed, has the ability to outspeed some things like Breloom and CB Dragonite so you should take advantage of that. 8.5/10 Quote

I wanted to embrace the stall aspect of Glisor, by have defensive EVs, being able to tank most moves. But, I'll try the Attack/Speed ones. Quote
Zen Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Umm, since when was terrakion un-counterable? Haha. That aside, It looks like a decent team, playing by safe, tried and tested combinations. Quote
Lord Emvee Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) This team is pretty much exactly this team, which was posted on Smogon in 2011. http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3455417 The Pokemon are exactly the same, and the move-sets are also extremely similar as well, except for the EV spreads which it seemed you were eager to make look different (like who runs 12 HP on Latias). I'd like to think you didn't copy from there though, since the team is a pretty common sand stall, but if you did then shame on you. Edited March 25, 2013 by So Heroic Quote

But no, it's a team I made, just an odd coincidence (I like the 12HP) Quote
