Adaptability

[chubb-o-wub]

No, not the nature. I'm talking about how this team takes advantages of the opposing team's strategy and eventually beats it. I tried it once, and it lost to bad luck (Stone Edge hit my Gliscor in a Sandstorm, twice) so it needs a little tweaking.

Aerodactyl (Zero)@Choice Band
Jolly
EV/ 42 HP/ 252 Atk/ 216 Spd
-Rock Slide
-Earthquake
-Crunch
-Fire Fang

Here's my lead. With these EVs, Zero gets a Speed of 352 (It had bad IVs I didn't know about :\) , allowing it to outspeed any +Speed Pokemon at base Speed 110, which this team could have problems with (Gengar, Espeon, among others) and Adamant Weaviles and the like, which Crunch and Rock Slide take care of. Earthquake takes care of Tyranitar and Heatran, but I might change the EVs to a 252/252/4 spread so it can outspeed max speed Modest Heatran and kill with Earthquake. Fire Fang is bolded because I could use a different move, like the other fangs, Aerial Ace, or Aqua Tail (in Platinum, of course). It's usually for a Forretress and Abomasnow, where Zero kills, then I get Mamoswine in.

Gengar (Berry)@Focus Sash
Naive
EV/ 4 HP/ 252 Spatk/ 252 Spd
-Destiny Bond
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast
-Thunderbolt

When something goes wrong, or when things get out of hands, Berry gets in if/when something dies to bad prediction, and takes care of it. Simple as Meta-knight to use, just attack with the best move at hand, and DB when the Sash activates. Fails to bad weather, where other teammates can take advantage.

Gliscor (Tsukune)@Leftovers
Impish
EV/ 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 Atk
-Roost
-Stealth Rock
-Ice Fang
-Earthquake

And here's how I deal with Sandstorm, along with Zero and DOMO. It's usually TTar and Hippowdon, so I have EQ and Ice Fang to deal with the two.
Roost to heal off the damage, and if/when they switch, or if they heal or anything sets up, I Stealth Rock them.

Tangrowth (Yuuki)@Leftovers
Relaxed
EV/ 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 Atk
-Knock Off
-Power Whip
-Leech Seed
-Sleep Powder

I use this for messing with the enemy, nuff said. Leech Seed stuff and Sleep Powder something physical to cause switches. Knock Off a Pokemon's lefties or whatever, and Power Whip if needed. Fun Gyarados and Rhyperior counter.

Mamoswine (DOMO)@Life Orb
Jolly
EV/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spd/ 4 HP
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Ice Shard
-Ice Fang/Superpower

This is my solution to Hail and Dragons, Ninjask, and anything it can tear with it's tusks. Ice Shard Salamence and Dragonite for the win, EQ for a solid hit, Stone Edge for coverage, and Ice Fang's a filler until Platinum comes out when I give it Superpower.

Blissey@Leftovers
Bold
EV/ 252 Def/ 148 HP/ 108 Spatk
-Calm Mind
-Softboiled
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt

It has Serene Grace, btw. This is for any stall war with Blissey/special attacker. I just Calm Mind up, heal when needed and hopefully sweep. Fun to use.

Please recommend Pokemon that are better for the team tp patch up on it's weaknesses. I know there must be some, like Infernape, or something.

lol, off topic but your Gliscor shares the same name as my NU Wartortle. xD

As far as the set....if you can try fitting Brick Break in there to hit the Reflect/Light Screeners and TTar/Weavile.

All I can really think of though. ^^;

just use 252/252/6 since it's not really gonna be taking tons of hit with 10 more hp, wereas if they're in speed it outruns heatran

Gengar (Berry)@Focus Sash
Naive
EV/ 4 HP/ 252 Spatk/ 252 Spd
-Destiny Bond
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast
-Thunderbolt

[/B]I'm not a fan of focus blast, since it's accuracy really does hurt it more than help, but i guess with sash it isn't that bad =/[/B]

Gliscor (Tsukune)@Leftovers
Impish
EV/ 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 Atk
-Roost
-Stealth Rock
-Ice Fang
-Earthquake

IceFang really doesn't help this thing IMO, cause EQ deals better damage anyway to things that aren't 4x weak to icefang, like salamence and dragonite, which gliscor should have no business staying out against anyway. Dump icefang for StoneEdge as this gives superior coverage

Tangrowth (Yuuki)@Leftovers
Relaxed
EV/ 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 Atk
-Knock Off
-Power Whip
-Leech Seed
-Sleep Powder

Good

I agree with the above poster. But it's at least worth considering Serene Grace, for the added hax on Ice Beam and T-Bolt. Fire Fang is fine on Aerodactyl, since your team has electric and ice well covered. And just like Weaville, a few HP EVs won't save it from anything. 252/252/6 spread is a must unless you're going for the CurseDactyl, which pretty much requires Sandstorm support.

 

[chubb-o-wub]

I changed the OP. Anything I did wrong or is it all good?

- 4 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spd on Aero, It has no need for bulkiness. Taunt + Stealth Rock make it a very good Anti-lead as well. I strongly recommend them over Fire Fang and Crunch, Aero isn't a very good sweeper anyway.


- Never use Focus Sash on anything other than leads for the reason that Stealth Rock which is ever so common, ruins it immediately. Use a Choice Scarf or a Mixed set for Gengar.


- 116 HP/ 176 Def/ 216 Spd on Gliscor, outspeeds Lucario and is still rather bulky. Fire Fang > Ice Fang so you can still beat Breloom and more importantly Heracross and Scizor. Consider Taunt > Stealth Rock as Aero is setting up Rocks now, this way you can outstall Celebi, Skarmory, Bronzong and Forretress and prevent Gyarados switch ins from using Dragon Dance as you switch out.



You could get rid of Tangrowth for Vaporeon, still counters Gyarados while fixing your MixApe weak, or drop both Gliscor and Tangrowth for Weezing who counters nearly everything both can combined, except Tyranitar.
