First RMT.

Hey buddies .

I made this team after playing PO for basically the entire weekend. After finding out what completely rages me about certain teams, I came up with this team. Not sure how flawed it is right now, but the team has gotten me out of the bottom rank of PO xD. Let's get started.

Morgan (Gyarados) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 156 HP / 72 Atk / 96 Def / 184 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Waterfall
- Taunt

One of my most favorite leads. If my opponent starts with something slow, Taunt it, and start Dancing up. Assuming my opponent doesn't switch it to something that will overly mess this set up, I'm usually able to take out at least 2 or three of my opponent's pokemon before I have to switch out.

DaveRossi (Umbreon) @ Leftovers
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 152 Def / 104 SDef
Careful Nature
- Protect
- Yawn
- Wish
- Heal Bell

The supporter of my team. Switch into something that won't hurt me that much, yawn to either scare away or cripple the switch in, then proceed to either wish or heal the status of my teammate.

Prentiss (Ferrothorn) @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SDef
Relaxed Nature
- Leech Seed
- Power Whip
- Stealth Rock
- Gyro Ball

I decided to use Ferrothorn because it seems to be a fairly good user of Stealth Rocks, as well as it is a general nuisance for my opponent to KO with all the support I have on my team. With Leech seed, i can heal up teammate who i switch out for, as well as slowly sapping the health of nuisances that my opponent brings out. With the rocks out, my opponent won't switch out so much or else feel damage as they come in.

Garcia (Cofagrigusk) @ Leftovers
Trait: Mummy
EVs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 120 SDef
Bold Nature
- Will-O-Wisp
- Haze
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Fighting]

The physical tank on my team. Pokemon like Mienshao, Scizor and Machamp dont seem to be good friends with this guy here. Haze ruins fools who think they can set up on my friend here. Shadow ball and Hidden power fighting hits everything for at least neutral damage.

Hotchner (Hydreigon)@ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Surf
- Flamethrower
- Dark Pulse

Used to basically wreak anything i see fit. Draco Meteor makes alot of pokemon feel it as they either switch in or stay in thinking they can take me out. Every other move is for the coverage it gives.

Ried (Tentacruel) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SDef
Calm Nature
- Knock Off
- Toxic Spikes
- Scald
- Rapid Spin

Another one of my favorites. It may not KO many pokemon, but the general nuisance it causes with this set is fun to watch. Knock Off gets rid of annoying items that they usually cant do without, such as Evolite, Leftovers or their Choice item. Toxic Spikes is there for Instant Poison on those who are affected, and rapid spin is there for obvious reasons.

I was thinking of switching my Gyarados and Umbreon for Vaporeon and some other physical sweeper, but I can't think of one that would fit my team. Also looking for a way to incorporate rain on my team, whether it involves Politoad or not. Thanks for advice and for rating

meh its never i good idea to try to set up real early in the game, i would try a different lead, and maybe save garados for later, idk how long u have been using this team but most of the time u try to set up first or second turn u'll fail, but if its been working and u are taking out a few pokes then keep going for it.

i would replace umbreon, he was kinda good last gen and this gen he's just terrible imo with all the heavy hitters left and right, believe me i wanted to use him to hes one of my top 3 fav pokes but he just doesnt work :/

on tentecrool ice beam might help more than knock off with all the dragons

if u wanna switch garados maybe try milotic with Rest / Sleep Talk / Scald / Dragon Tail. expecially with ur toxic spikes and stealth rock support this thing will be a big pain in the *** for ur apponent. with multi scale, this things a beast

EDIT: omg i just realized all ur pokes were named after criminal minds characters. thats one of my favorite shows i was accually watching it while i was typing this xD

LOL. Same here with Crim minds xD. Anyway, with the team preview I would lead either with Gyarados or Ferrothorn, depending on what I see on the team preview.

Yesterday I went to a tourney and tried out using Togekiss as my support and Metagross as a physical sweeper, and that one didnt work out as well due to Togekiss not having too many resistances. I was thinking of using Blissey over Umbreon as Blissey passes over bigger wishes than Umbreon.

As for Gyarados, if i were to replace it i would replace it for something that could do a similar job. That Milotic you said looks like it could actually fit on my team though, seeing as i usually dont need to use either Gyarados or Hydreigon. I might give it magic coat and recover though, because I hate troll pokemon like whimsicott and Azelf trying to set up nonsense on my team. What EV's would I give it though?

yea metagross help so much this gen imo, i have one i dont like to use it just because i dont like to use to common pokes but find myself using it still because its so helpfull with all the dragons and its priority bullet punch and all around amazing stats. and yea blissey would be a good idea over umbreon or vaporeon ( though u would have 3 water pokes ) on milotic u could dragon tail pokes like azelf and Cott out (although i have like NEVER seen azelf this gen) and Rest Talk is amazing on milotic because of its ability Multiscale. as for the EV's i dont know em of the top of my head, they got the perfect set one smogon but that sites down right now -_-. Calm nature with Max HP, alot of defense and some SpD, ill tell u when its back up

 

[shadismith]

Ill probably just get the one from my g4 then. As for blizzey I have an idea as to what my moveset should look like for my team, so ima get that done now. Thanks!
