As much as I hate posting a RMT...

[Kanou Martin]

... I think my team really needs it. I was looking through Smogon's threat list and I have several holes in my team. The members of the team can be changed if needed.


Electrode @ Focus Strip
Modest Nature
Evs: 6 Hp/ 252 SpAtk/ 252 Spd
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power [Ice]
-Thunder Wave
-Explosion

Counters Gyarados and Garchomp or at least forces a switch. Switches in on Dragon Dances and Swords Dances.

Swampert @ Leftovers
Impish Nature
Evs: 136 HP/ 120Attack/ 252 Def
-Earthquake
-Stealth Rock
-Arm Hammer
-Snow Slide

lol @ Arm Hammer. Maybe I'll just use Waterfall. I'm paranoid of Tyranitar though. Dx

Blissey @ Leftovers
Bold Nature
Evs: 252 Hp/ 252 Def/ 6 SpAtk
-Calm Mind
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Softboiled

Manaphy counter. Was thinking of using Wish over Softboiled. I think this is the Blissey that Freakshow used.

Salamence @ Adherence Glasses
Modest Nature
Evs: 6 Hp/ 252 SpAtk/ 252 Spd
-Meteoric Swarm
-Flamethrower
-Hydro Pump
-Dragon Pulse

Blahblahblah standard.

Heracross @ Adherence Scarf
Adamant Nature
Evs: 26 Hp/ 252 Atk/ 232 Spd
-Megahorn
-In-Fight
-Stone Edge
-Pursuit

Blahblahblah standard.

Cressilia @ Leftovers
Bold Nature
Evs: 252 Hp/ 200 Def/ 56 SpAtk
-Grass Rope
-Reflect
-Ice Beam
-Moonlight

Blahblahblah standard.

i would trade electrode for electivire.he has much better stats.and plus he learns flamethrower a first for thunder types.just to hit those grass types.

[Kanou Martin]

The main reason I chose Electrode was because it's faster. I'll think of Electivire though.

[Near]

Gaburaisu has 102 base speed. Nobody uses Dragon Dance on him.
He's also the only one of them who learns Swords Dance.

Focus Strip will allow your Electrode to basically switch into an Earthquake.
HP Ice it, and explode on the next.

Electrivire is best combined with a water Pokemon,
though, and can't outspeed Gaburaisu without the boost.

Swampert:
Earthquake will damage the Tar for only 60 power less and won't kill your speed.
I'd use Waterfall/pump over either that or slide.

Cresselia:
I don't like Moonlight because of sandstorms,
but otherwise it's standard indeed.

Nothing much to fix, these Pokemons are awfully serefamiliar.

[Kanou Martin]

I meant outrunning Gyarados Dragon Dance. It's able to outrun Gyarados at 248, which I think is the new standard. Most people are running bulkier Gyaradoses now, right?

I'll probably try Hydro Pump so Skarmory doesn't wall me as much. I'll change the nature to Relaxed?


Thanks. ^^

[Venny]

I'd suck out the HP Evs on blissey and put them into special attack. Your special attack blows otherwise, even after calm mind. Besides, maxing out on the hitpoints hardly helps at all. If anything, more SDef would be better with all these guys running around with nasty plot/tail glow.

Swampert should lose arm hammer for a water attack. STAB is your friend...

[Kanou Martin]

How many Hp Evs? I'm definatly not taking all of them out. Calm Mind's main objective is to increase SpDef protecting Blissey from Azelf and Manaphy.

I already have STAB with Earthquake. I'm leaning towards a Relaxed Nature with Hydro Pump though so I can surprise Skarmory.
