Draco Meteor!!!

[Amonitas]

Yeah, here is my team based on Draco A.K.A salamence.
I also post reasons why I am using those pokemon.

So here is my lead:

;094;Gengar@Focus Sash
Timid
Hp:6 Sp.Atk: 252 Speed: 252
-Hypnosis
-Shadowball
-Thunderbolt
-Focusblast
Reason: Hypnosis first, then usually KO about 2-3 pokemon.
This pokemon covers many of Salamences weaknesses(Notably Blissey), and that is why it's important to get rid of them first.

And my main pokemon:

;373;@Choice Specs
Modest
Hp:6 Sp.Atk: 252 Speed: 252
-Draco Meteor
-Dragon Pulse
-Flamethrower
-Hydropump
Reason: This is my main pokemon and when used right, it's DEADLY and that is why it's my main, my other pokemon cover ALL it's counters.

Spinner:

;232;@Leftovers
Impish
Hp: 252 Def: 252 Atk: 6
-Ice Shard
-Earthquake
-Rapid Spin
-Stealth Rock
Reason: Salamence is weak to Stealth Rock, so it's vital to spin them away.
Stealth rock is only going to do serious damage on weavile, but it still is a nice addition.

Spin Blocker:

;477;@Leftovers
Careful
Hp: 252 Def: 76 Sp.def 180
-Thunderpunch
-Shadow Sneak
-Will-o-wisp
-Pain split
Reason: I want to keep my rocks in play and Dusknoir ''is'' a kind of mixed wall, even though of its low HP, it's sturdy.

Physical Wall:

;227;@Leftovers/Shed Shell (not sure)
Impish
Hp: 252 Atk: 96 Def: 156 Spe: 4
-Brave bird
-Spikes
-Roost
-Whirlwind
Reason: Standard set, but spikes and donphan stealth rock can make my opponent think twice before switching. It also counters 75% of Salamences counters.

;212;@Salac Berry
Jolly@Swarm
Hp: 4 Atk: 252 Speed: 252
-Substitute
-Swords Dance
-Reversal
-X-Scissor

It's main job is to kill Cressy and/or sweep with Reversal 'till dead.

What do you think people? Please give me honest ratings!

This is pretty good i actually use the Gengar and salamence on my team as well, but since my Mence doesnt have a SpAtt boost nature i use DClaw instead. 2 ghost types isnt always best, as many movesets ive seen have included crunch.

 

[Amonitas]

Ty, if you are worried about crunch, skarm and scizor resist it.

 

[Hauntershadow92]

I think Swords Dance Lucario will help you out. Give it Crunch/ExSpeed/CC/Swords Dance. It takes care of Cressy and Blissy for you. I also suggest putting HP [Ice] over Focus Blast on Gengar. Works better as a lead.

 

[goldfan]

If you want to deal with Blissey with Gengar, i would suggest (just because i like the crudeness of it):

Gengar @ Life Orb
Levitate / Hasty Nature
Evs: 252 Speed / 136 Sp. Att / 120 Att
- Thunder Bolt / other special attacking move
- Shadow Ball / other special attacking move
- Hypnosis / any other move you want
- Explosion

The main point of this is explosion, most people seem to send blissey out as soon as they see gengae, sp. Walling and Natural Cure make it no threat, The Nature / Ev Spread ensure a KO on Blissey!

 

[GarthMarenghi_Dreamweaver]

Trying to base an entire team around one pokemon like you've done is a shaky method. It's better to create a core of 2-3 pokemon then build from there.

As you going to be killing Gengar off early, give him Destiny Bond + T-wave, that way he could potentially cripple 3 of the opponents team off the bat.

With Scizor I'd stick with the standard Sword Dance Priority sweeper, it gives you the ability to revenge kill and get into an offensive situation better.

Magnezone has the ability to set up on half you team as he outspeeds Donphan and can Magnet Rise. Then he's going to cause some problems, considering how you don't have any reliable special walls and Dusknoirs Pain Split won't work through the Sub.

 

[RedPeppers]

Having Draco Meter, and Dragon Pulse on specsmence is pretty redundant. Maybe HP fighting?

 

[Hauntershadow92]

It actually isn't redundant. Draco Meteor Severly drops your SpAtk, and that is bad, whether you have Specs or not. Dragon Pulse is for early game and Draco Meteor is when you know you have them beat. Mainly late game.

MixMence is better imo. Dragon Claw/BrickBreak/Dracometeor/and something else <_<;

Smogon.com it might be there. Idk.

 

[UmbreonLord]

Salamence is one of the few exceptions that has 2 moves of the same type. It has dragon pulse so it doesn't get forced to switch on turn 2.
