Hyper Offensive- Special.

[Creeper]

So, yeah. My special HO team. You can learn what HO is here: http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=541205

This is Special HO.

Spoiler: Team at a Glance

Team

Deoxys-S @ Light Clay
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Taunt
- Stealth Rock
Standard HO lead. Thundurus is gone, so, Prankster Taunts are gone. Screens for ease of setup. Taunt to beat other non-Tornadus leads, and Rocks to get up rocks.

Infernape (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Nasty Plot
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast
- Grass Knot

NP Infernape. Nasty Plot is Nasty Plot, Fire Blast and Focus Blast are STAB, and Grass Knot to nail Jellicent and Quagsire in the face.

Suicune @ Chesto Berry
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 56 Def / 200 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Rest
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Calm Mind

This mon needs some explaining. Crocune is the "bulky" part of my team. I run a bulky spread to get some backing on the team. With Screens up, I can get to + 4 easily. Rest is to recover, and CM is to boost, and Scald is to say F U to physical sweepers. Ice Beam nails Dragons.

Latias (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Recover
- Calm Mind
- Dragon Pulse
- Roar
Standard CM Latias. It's the other part of my team's defensive core, and it works well. Recover is to heal, CM to boost, Roar to shuffle, and Dragon Pulse is for damage.

Zoroark (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Illusion
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Nasty Plot
- Flamethrower
- Focus Blast
- Dark Pulse
Zoroark is for a Ghost/Dark resist, and to sweep. Flamethrower hits hard. Dark Pulse is STAB, Focus Blast is coverage, and Nasty Plot is for a +2.

Lucario (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Steadfast
EVs: 128 HP / 136 SAtk / 240 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Aura Sphere
- Dark Pulse
- Vaccum Wave
- Nasty Plot

Double booster Lucario. Aura Sphere and Dark Pulse get perfect coverage, other than Toxicroak, and Vaacum Wave is prority. NP is to hit like a nuke. Once both are up, GG. The EVs are so Luke hits 303 speed, and 600 SAtk. The rest goes into HP.

rotfl. Lucario is not going to live long enough to get agility AND nasty plot.

 

[Xat]

Nice team. I do agree that Lucario wont get Agility and NP up, even with screens.

 

[Vandslaux]

Might I suggest double-booster Porygon-Z? Not even Blissey can switch into a +2 Adaptability Tri Attack, which 2HKOes. I've used it with Zoroark on special HO, and the opponent doesn't know what the hell hit them, as they switch Ferrothorn/Jellicent into a predicted Tri Attack, only to receive a Flamethrower or Dark Pulse, and vice versa with Zoroark.

 

[Creeper]

It can, and has.


Porygon-Z is in the same speed as Lucario, but frailer.


If you gave me a set, I'll test it.

 

[~Ace]

I can tell this team has good Synergy instantly, but I'd have to say, DDance Kingdra works much better than Suicune, have a try!

 

[dragonuser™]

i hav to agree wit alot of people in the fact tht its gonna b almost impossible for lucario to get two setups in unless there team is really flawed/ bad player. try vacuum punch instead of agility. it also gives u some priority which every team needs

_________ used Brick Break!!

Brick Break destroyed the screens!

It's super effective!

Lucario Fainted!

 

[The Imposter]

Get rid of Suicune and Latias, and replace them with Starmie and Latios, respectively. The point of Hyper Offense isn't to have a defensive core, it's to have several Pokemon who can wreak destruction relatively easily. Starmie gets a bunch of strong moves, making a HP Fire/Hydro Pump/Thunderbolt/Ice Beam set viable. Latios is a good all-out attacker with Dragon Pulse/Surf/HP Fire/Psyshock (for Blissey, which really messes this team up).

Starmie @ Leftovers/Life Orb
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spd
TImid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Hydro Pump
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam

Latios @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spd
- Dragon Pulse
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Surf
- Psyshock

If only Starmie got a Special Attack-boosting move. . .

same scenario :3

Starmie @ Leftovers/Life Orb
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spd
TImid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Fire]

- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam

Latios @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spd
- Dragon Pulse
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Surf
- Psyshock

If only Starmie got a Special Attack-boosting move. . .

definetly go wit a cm latios/ more offensive latias. Hyper offence is about setting up and smashing the opponent into the ground

EDIT: try a set of like cm| dragon pulse| surf/ hp fire| psyshock

u really need psyshock to hit blissey or use tht porygon two set otherwise ur gonna need like a +4 or so poke to hit blissey hard enough

SPECIAL Hyper Offense.

I'll try Vaccum Wave.

And, who, exactly uses BRICK BREAK?

Get rid of Suicune and Latias, and replace them with Starmie and Latios, respectively.

Starmie gets a bunch of strong moves, making a HP Fire/Hydro Pump/Thunderbolt/Ice Beam set viable.

Starmie @ Leftovers/Life Orb
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spd
TImid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Hydro Pump
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam

Latios @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spd
- Dragon Pulse
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Surf
- Psyshock

If only Starmie got a Special Attack-boosting move. . .

Boosting for Starmie needed, and Latias, is a better CMer than Latios.

 

[Swagga09]

i've seen teams in hyper offense use brick break, to well, destory the said screens.

 

[Creeper]

i've seen teams in hyper offense use brick break, to well, destory the said screens.

Most Pokemon would rather use HJK, or Close Combat, or even SuperPower instead.

 

[dragonuser™]

i've seen teams in hyper offense use brick break, to well, destory the said screens.

the part of this is that hyper offence isnt popular enough(yet) for people to carry a dedicated screen breaker. atm theres like 1/30 teams tht hav brick break on them. honestly only thing i see carrying BB on it atm is a dd nite and tht moveset isnt very common

Yeah, I'd use Lucario, now that I think about it. Better typing.

[Creeper]

Cune is supposed to be bulky, and Fight/Dark is perfect coverage anyway.

Latias can just Roar Heatran away.
