From playing online, I've learned that gravity is great in doubles, as it allows me to check many common threats such as zapdos and thunderus. Gravity basically removes all ground immunities and sharply decreases evaisiveness for five turns. This a team that uses gravity that could be used in vgcs this wall. Your input is appreciated.
Sableye@leftovers
-gravity
-detect
-taunt
-will-o-wisp
252 hp 4 def 252 sp def
Careful
Prankster
As the only gravity user with prankster, sableye has a great niche. The fact that it is immune to fake out makes it even better. Prankster gravity means that a setup is garunteed. Once that role is fulfilled, I'll start abusing Taunt and will-o-wisp for disruption. Detect is there for obvious reasons: to get extra leftovers recovery and keep saby from being blown up by a strong attacker.
Froslass@expert belt
-protect
-blizzard
-thunder
-Shadow ball
4 hp 252 sp atk 252 speed
Timid
Snow cloak
Froslass is a very potent sweeper under gravity, as it gets enhanced boltbeam coverage. It also outspeeds most threats with the execptions of the lati twins. Shadow ball provides more coverage.
Landorus@life orb (therian)
-earthquake
-protect
-rock slide
-gravity
4 hp 252 atk 252 speed
Jolly
Intimidate
Landorus is a physical beast, being able to slaughter nearly anything using earthquake under gravity. Anything else is beaten by rock slide. Lando can also function as a gravity user.
Lickilicky@grass gem
-power whip
-protect
-earthquake
-explosion
252 hp 252 atk 4 sp def
Adamant
Cloud nine
Say what you will, but I believe lickilicky to be a powerful presence in vgc. It can severly damage a lot of things with boosted power whip and dish out obscene damage with STAB explosion. However, it's main use is crippling weather teams with cloud nine.
Sigilyph@focus sash
-gravity
-hypnosis
-air slash
-protect
252 sp atk 4 sp def 252 speed
Timid
Magic guard
Sigilyph sets are very good at annoying people, and this set Is no exception. Hypnosis gets a huge accuracy boost under gravity, allowing me to spam it to no end. Gravity is also on this set for support reasons. Air slash is used to take out frail grass and fighting types as well as flinch the opponent.
Salamence@dragon gem
-heat wave
-dragon pulse
-hydro pump
-protect
252 sp atk 4 sp def 252 speed
Timid
Intimidate
Salamence is a capable special sweeper thanks to it's huge movepool. Heat wave and dragon pulse have near-flawless coverage under gravity (heatran is the only exception), but hydro pump nets me that last poke and some extra super effective hits. I run timid to outspeed other common threats.
Once again, your input is appreciated.
