Skater Trainer

Like a Boss
Yes I might be coming back to competitive batting, some people may remember me. I have been away for a while, but my interest sparked again and I wanna get back in the battling scene. It's been a while and my stuff may be a bit old, but hey thats why I'm here. This is my team in the making and I have a temporary team while I build this one. I hope to finish this soon as in half of the things are already trained. But since its been so long I forgot blissey's evs, I remember it was the rare one from smogon but thats it, someone is bound to remember so here I go. If someone has a site with the sprites on them, tell me, I forgot where to go so no pictures for now.

Metagross@ leftovers/lum berry
adamant
56hp/252attack/200spd
-meteor mash
-earthquake
-agility
-explosion

Weavile savior and sweeping tank. After one agility he will sweep with ease. Explode when I'm done.


Starmie@ life orb
Timid
6hp/252spd/252spatk
-surf
-ice beam
-grass knot
-thunderbolt

I needed a special sweeper and starmie fits into my team. Life orb since I want to have the choice to switch my moves. I’m not sure about the evs. I’ve been thinking of scraping him for another sweeper, but it’s been too long so I forgot.

Tangrowth@ leftovers
impish
252hp/224def/30spd
-power whip
-sleep powder
-knock off
-leech seed

Swampert and gyara counter. The moves to counter both, power whip will take both down. I put 30spd to insure I outspeed swampert just incase he's got ice beam.

Blissey@ leftovers
bold
-seismic toss
-aromatherapy
-softboiled
-ice beam

Standard bliss. I don't remember the evs.

Gliscor@ leftovers
impish
252hp/252def/6spd
-aerial ace
-earthquake
-roost
-stealth rock

Wall, tyranitar and hera counter and stealth rock set up. Works well in sandstorm and a sturdy physical wall, roost off damage.

Tyranitar@ choice band
adamant
6hp/252atk/252spd
-earthquake
-stone edge
-crunch
-pursuit

Strong sweeper, I have a boah ready and I can switch him for a heracross if needed.


Ok now remember I have been away for way too long, so please, help me out a lot.

I didnt think you'd come back lol, as for the team.......there's not much to rate on tbh, it's your basic standard team with basic standards =/



- Psychic > Grass Knot, it gets better coverage really as it hits Weezing and Gengar as opposed to Grass Knot which is for Swampert exclusively. Besides Tangrowth and Blissey can also deal with Pert if Starmie falls, which the same cant be said for Gengar and Weezing, That or Recover, since LO recoil, NO spin support and Sandstorm will take its toll quickly

- Ice Fang is generally a bad idea on Gliscor, Yache Berry chomp has grown so common now that even the possibility for even a 2HKO sounds kinda iffy, not to mention you have to deal with Sand Veil Hax, and even if it's not running Yache Berry, it still fails to OHKO Chomp. counter is a safer option IMO, it also gets cocky Bulky Gyara which i always find to be hilarious, though it takes prediction and a damance calc before hand, in order to pull off right

- Your Bliss might want to run Flamethrower, your inability to break steel type, most notably the walls further adds to your Spikes weakness, in fact I'd chuck that Blissey altogether and consider getting a Wish Blissey instead, which Metagross, Tyranitar and Starmie would all appreciate.

I'd also lead with Tyranitar, since Ninjask leads are annoying. And be wary of Electivire, especially mixed Vire which can pick off Tangrowth with Flamethrower. Consider Celebi as it has a harder time beaking that down and can also provide support, Heal Bell, Leech Seed, Reflect, Thunder Wave, Light Screen, take your pick


that's my 2 cents anyway, though I could very well just have over-anlayzed...
 
Hmm

I was thinking of scraping starmie, tyranitar, and metagross all together.

I have been looking into tentacruel as spin support with some toxic spikes help thrown in.

I can't get a hold of a wish bliss since I don't play shoddy, but on wifi in stead.

So far this is the ideas I have running threw my head

flamethrower>ice beam on blissey

throwing celebi in over someone.

Taking out metagross for cruel

taking tyranitar out for another physical sweeper that won't hurt me.
 
if you keep starmie, you are gonna want to get modest nature. i trained two, one timid and one modest, and timid didnt work as well as i hoped as a special attacker. so if you are going to keep starmie, go with modest

you really only need enough speed for 404 speed on gross after an agility. so 152 HP/252 Atk/104 Spd adamant, or you can bump up its defenses a bit. you can run 203 if you want, (so take 4 out of hp) to outspeed everything trying to outspeed you.
 
Recover would do you better over Psychic or Grass Knot, tbh, but Psychic if it's a matter of attack.

Your teams never seem to change. :)
 
This is my old team, I just thought I'd bring it up.

I have been going threw some options and I have decided to scrap tyranitar, since he's harming my team more than helping. Now I just need a physical sweeper to take his place, I have contemplated on picking garchomp but I'm not sure, as for starmie, I'm switching him out with tentacruel and switching metagross(who could be my new physical sweeper) with a specs-mance, specs tile, gengar, or mismagius. I have been thinking of working in celebi for some support.

Any tips on how I should go about this are welcome and I need movesets and evs. I also need weaknesses I need to cover and how to counter said weaknesses.
 
Gachomp over Tyranitar could work, though the only problem is the fact that it cant break Cresselia as easily, but they basically do the same thing other than that

Ive found Tentacruel to be less useful then I thought it would be, it cant hit hard, it cant come in on much if any move, and it cant recover its HP outside of Leftovers. Though the ability to absorb T-Spikes and Spin is exceptional, that's really all it has going for it unfortunately. If that's what you want then go for it, though Wish support would be nice for it if you do so

Weezing > Tangrowth or Gliscor will open up the slot for Celebi, since it can counter Hera and Gyara, run HP Fighting on it for taking on Tyranitar since Celebi can take Gyara. Reflect support should be provided by said Celebi as well
 
I was only thinking of garchomp since I don't want to damage my team anymore by adding on sandstorm, even though tyranitar has been on my team since the start.

I was brainstorming tentacruel since I need a spinner, I was also thinking of fortress as another choice.

As for weezing, I can place him in over growth, keeping gliscor.

so for now I have this

celebi
blissey
weezing
gliscor
special sweeper
physical sweeper

I have been thinking fortress > gliscor

I have also been thinking of tauros, breloom, and gyarados as physical sweepers.

^ You dont really need Weezing when you have both Gliscor and Celebi, Forretress can go in over that instead....

As for the sweepers it your choice really
