Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers ** Tonacatecuhtil

Curse is funnier over Thunder.

yeah

solid team overall but no sleeper or parasupport kind of sucks.

 

[Double-Edge]

Well, lets see if spp has any good gsc'ers!

Cloyster (M) @ Leftovers ** Atlaua
- Explosion
- Ice Beam
- Spikes
- Surf

Spiking ****, standard

I use the same set, not much more to do with Cloyster

Raikou @ Leftovers ** Mextli
- Crunch
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Thunderbolt

great coverage for starmie and the like

i prefer Thunderwave, Thunderbolt, Rest, Crunch/HP:Ice @ Mint Berry, but this also works. You really need some parasupport

Skarmory (M) @ Mint Berry ** Atlacamani
- Drill Peck
- Rest
- Thief
- Whirlwind

phys wall

Yep

Machamp (M) @ Leftovers ** Camaxtli
- Cross Chop
- Earthquake
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

attacker

Rockslide, Cross Chop, Shadow Ball, Rest @ Mint Berry. SB for ZAM/Espeon/Hypno, Slide for flyers, Chop for high CH and Blissey/Miltank

Nidoking (M) @ Leftovers ** Tezcatlipoca
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam
- Lovely Kiss
- Thunderbolt

one of my favorite pokemon

My favourite too, but i prefer physical attack king. Earthquake, Rock Slide, Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb @ Leftovers. Simply cause his attack is very good, and can do some damage with STABBED SB and EQ, again, ShB for zam

Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers ** Tonacatecuhtil
- Double-Edge
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Thunder

yeah

I like Double Edge, Rest, Sleep Talk, Fire Blast @ Leftovers, just cause you real skarm counter

first team rate in a long time, i hope i havent lost it

 

[Altmer]

I don't think king gets shadow ball in gsc, not sure about sludge bomb either

 

[asianmang]

I am using bdlax now!

and posted this team on smogon!

and hp legends are banned tyvm!

 

[.TraX.]

hp legends are banned tyvm!

Should have said that before asking for rates, hp legends aren't usually banned in GSC battling (or didn't used to be when I played alot, mind you, I played mostly when netbattle didn't even HAVE ru/sa mode).


Anyway, onto the rating.

Cloyster (M) @ Leftovers ** Atlaua
- Explosion
- Ice Beam
- Spikes
- Surf

Never saw the point in Ice Beam on this, haven't used cloy much, but I did try Whirlpool over Ice Beam - it worked.


Raikou @ Leftovers ** Mextli
- Crunch
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Thunderbolt

Par for the course.


Skarmory (M) @ Mint Berry ** Atlacamani
- Drill Peck
- Rest
- Thief
- Whirlwind

Yep, some like curse over thief, I'm not one of them.


Machamp (M) @ Leftovers ** Camaxtli
- Cross Chop
- Earthquake
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

No Counter? No Rockslide?


Nidoking (M) @ Leftovers ** Tezcatlipoca
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam
- Lovely Kiss
- Thunderbolt

Hate this guy, never used it, maybe fire blast somewhere?


Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers ** Tonacatecuhtil
- Double-Edge
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Thunder

If your stalking, make it a curselax



General: This team gets hit harder than most by paralysis, it's either going to win in under 50 turns, get locked in a stall-war using snorlax that ends when you run out of rest PP, or fail horribly, nothing really scares Machamp off and the number of pokemon that can be downed in 2 shots by standard moves means this team will be beaten down pretty hard some times.

Main issue though is this team isn't sure what it is, it's got lots of recovery but no paralysis which (in my experience) voids the recovery side of things, that and tougher buffing-sweepers (read; cursers) aren't going to be beaten off without serious cost.

 

[Altmer]

HP legends aren't banned, just frowned upon by some people. (See also: havoc.)

 

[asianmang]

smogon tour season 2 forbids hp legends.

 

[Altmer]

doesn't mean they're banned in general, just frowned upon in Smogon and by me as well
