I'm not drunk, I just have a speech impediment.

[Frost Nova]

Got this idea for making a team a couple of days ago: haven't made a team in a while so my team building skills are a bit rusty. Feel free to scrape it off in whatever ways you want.

Absol@Choice Scarf
Trait: Strong Luck
EVs: 32 hp / 252 Atk / 224 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Me First
- Sucker Punch
- Stone Edge
- Psycho Cut

0ma's creation, and damn this is such a sexy lead. Forces Specsmence to eat its own Draco Meteors at 210 base power and counters CSgar with ease. I'm not sure how Psycho Cut fares though.

Milotic@lefties
Trait: Marvel Scale
EVs: 252 hp / 44 Def / 16 SAtk / 196 SDef
Calm Nature
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Light Screen
- Recover

Another of 0ma's creations. Alleviates the fact that I don't really have a proper special wall and acts somewhat as a status absorber.

Weezing@Black Sludge
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 hp / 200 Def / 56 SAtk
Bold Nature
- haze
- Flamethrower
- T-Bolt
- Pain Split

Our favourite gasbag aka heracross counter from Advance is back with a vengeance: armed with both Flamethrower and T-Bolt it counters heracross, Weavile and Gyarados with ease.

Torterra@lefties
EVs: 212 hp / 64 Atk / 176 Def / 56 Def
Impish Nature
- Wood hammer
- Earthquake
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

Rock / Ground / Electric resist, T-Tar counter, and status absorber. I've always had a soft spot for the grass starters and it somehow fits into the team quite nicely.

Magnezone@lefties
Trait: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 hp / 56 Def / 16 SAtk / 184 SDef
Calm Nature
- T-Bolt
- hp [Grass] / Flash Cannon
- T-Wave
- Reflect

BoltBeam / Normal / Flying resist. Personally I don't really see the point of Explosion on Mag3 so if I had my way I'd stick to this moveset instead.

Infernape@Life Orb
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 56 Atk / 252 Spd / 200 SAtk
Naive Nature
- Flamethrower
- Grass Knot
- Close Combat
- Nasty Plot

Special sweeper aka finisher. Straightforward and simple.

Aside from my very obvious Swampert weak anything else? You know it was made up in a whim so weaknesses are of course, expected.

 

[Exiled_Sicilian]

I'm not drunk Pister Molic Ociffer.

Better status absorber for Milotic is the ver so obvious ReSTalk variant with 252 HP and Def.

HP Grass on Magnezone, perhaps Sub over Thunder Wave or Reflect (more over Reflect). Sub and HP Grass =murder on Pert. Make sure you have 240 Spd though.

Not seeing too many glaring weaknesses, but I'll re-check in the morning. Well, later morning that is >_>

 

[Raikou77]

Make sure you have 240 Spd though.

I think you mean 141. Actually 157 would be the safest so the Impish Swamperts don't get you either.

 

[ludicolo_kid]

Manaphy can give you troubles here. To stop it I would put Light Screen on Mag3 somewhere, switch to RestTalk Milo and then if you really want to use Torterra you can go SubSeed/CB/SD or something on it.

 

[Exiled_Sicilian]

Sorry about that, I even have that for my Magnezone, don't know why I said that (probably because I remembered their max Spd stat with beneficial Nature is 240 though they don't use that.) but ya definately to beat Impish Nature Swampert since I see more of those.

Sorry about that.

Edit: I saw what you put before you edited =X

 

[Frost Nova]

You three are as efficient as ever.

The whole reason I'm even using Torterra is to counter T-Tar properly and just for the sake of having a ground type: Rhyperior could make for a decent option perhaps? Or I could run Wood hammer / EQ / Leech Seed / Sub or Stealth Rock over the current ReSTalk moveset.

 

[Exiled_Sicilian]

Donphan helps as a Rapid Spinner, STAB EQ, and Stealth Rock set up. Anti TTar.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Donphan it is then.

Donphan@lefties
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 hp / 84 Atk / 172 Def
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard / Stone Edge
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock

About Mag3 I've decided to stick to the safe side and put enough Spd EVs to reach 160 max to make it look something like this.

Magnezone@lefties
Trait: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 hp / 56 Def / 16 Spd / 16 SAtk / 168 SDef
Calm Nature
- T-Bolt
- hp [Grass]
- Substitute
- Light Screen

Though I'm a bit wary of the lack of a proper special wall in the team.

 

[ludicolo_kid]

Only weak I can really see is your keyboard's apparent incapability to capitalize H's, lol.

Azelf will give you troubles but I suppose you can sacrifice and get in Absol and Sucker Punch it, though they could just switch out and remove Absol before sweeping fully.

 

[Frost Nova]

Oh that. I accidentally spilt some soda on it once and the 'h' button's never been the same again.

 

[Hunter_RuLe]

Metagross Problem, I'll suggest to use Fire Blast over Flametrower on Weezing. Medicham weakness aswell.

 

[crudent]

Metagross is totally walled by Torterra, and Cham won't get past Weezing.

 

[Hunter_RuLe]

Some Metagross have Ice Punch which Terra won't like, I wouldn't call that totally walling.

 

[crudent]

Then they'll be restricted by Ice Punch instead of a better move, and then the OP will send in a revenge kill. Simple.

 

[Exiled_Sicilian]

Not even, if you read his post he is switching it for Donphan and Donphan aside from the fact that Weezing walls Gross' attacks altogther, is enough to get rid of the lumpy super computer.

 

[Prio]

Subseeder Torterra >>>>>>>>> Sleeptalker Torterra.

 

[Frost Nova]

Subseeder Torterra >>>>>>>>> Sleeptalker Torterra.

Well I was using Light Screen Milo at that time, so I needed something to absorb status and counter Tar at the same time. And besides I'm using Donphan over it anyway.

While we're at it, should I go with Ice Shard or Stone Edge for its second move? I'm more inclined to go with Ice Shard for Garchomp but Stone Edge does have its uses.

 

[Saph66]

I would say keep ice shard instead of stone edge, for Garchomp as you have said. Weezing can take care of gyara wit t-bolt, so stone edge is not as necessar, Salamence kinda covered by milotic.

 

[Exiled_Sicilian]

I'm in agreement, I don't see Donphan needing Stone Edge more than Ice Shard just for the fact of Garchomp variants.

I'm afraid of the lack of hard hitting this Team doesn't have, I see it in only Infernape as a sweeper, Donphan for wall uses as well and even then he only has 2 attacks to attack from, the rest of the Team is slow based and Me First being Absol's most successful move.

Team seems to work well though, so perhaps the synergy will make up for it. I'd say scrap Milo but like you said, you needed a decent Special Wall.

Hell, the latest Team I have doesn't even consist of walls really, just revenge killing like hell.

*sigh*

Do I have to? I don't feel like sticking Blissey in my team.
