Indie Rock (S-CRMT)

[ungulateman]

This is just some random theme team involving indie bands I like.

Bliss - Muse
Charming the Flames - Fields
Feathers - Fields
Stay Positive - The Hold Steady
These Wooden ideas - Idlewild
Disconnected - Idlewild

Bibarel *Bliss* @ Leftovers
Careful / Unaware
252 HP / 156 Def / 100 SpD
- Taunt
- Super Fang
- Waterfall
- Stealth Rock

Bibarel makes a surprisingly good anti-lead in NU, thanks to Taunt, Super Fang and SR. The EVs optimise my defenses, which are quite good - even max Attack Adamant Superpower from Absol is not guaranteed to KO.

Camerupt *Charming The Flames* @ Leftovers
Modest / Solid Rock
228 HP / 252 Def / 28 SpA
- Charm
- Lava Plume
- Earth Power
- Toxic

Camerupt makes an incredible physical wall if it can get a Charm in, giving it the equivalent of 458 Defence. Lava Plume also cripples physical attackers, while EP makes another good STAB. Toxic is sort of filler, but it messes up special attackers and walls.

Pidgeot *Feathers* @ Choice Band
Adamant / Tangled Feet
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
- Brave Bird
- Return
- U-Turn
- Pursuit

Standard Pidgeot. Brave Bird is a very, very nasty attack, wih Return for a recoil-free option. U-Turn lets it scout, while Pursuit causes problems for Ghosts and Psychics. Obvious EV spread.

Manectric *Stay Positive* @ Choice Specs
Timid / Static
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Thunderbolt
- Overheat
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Switcheroo

Specs Manectric works in a similar way to Specs Latias - cripple a special wall by giving it Specs, then sweep later on. Manectric has a nasty 105 SpA, letting it crush foes even without Specs.

Exeggutor *These Wooden Ideas* @ Life Orb
Adamant / Chlorophyll
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
- Swords Dance
- Wood Hammer
- Zen Headbutt
- Synthesis

Exeggutor hits like a freight train full of coconuts after a SD boost. Wood hammer tears anything which lacks a resistance to pieces, and Zen Headbutt dispatches the ubiquitous Poison types in NU. Synthesis is much more reliable in NU, where no Sandstorm or Hail exists outside of NFEs.

Porygon2 *Disconnected* @ Leftovers
Bold / Trace
252 HP / 212 Def / 40 SpA
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Recover
- Thunder Wave

Porygon2, the NU which should be OU. I'm not complaining, mind - BoltBeam coverage, brilliant defenses, paralysis and healing? Sign me up.

You could try Swagger on Bibarel > Waterfall to force switches should the need arise.

Some sunny day support wouldn't go amiss on this team, either, if you can fit it in.

Overall, this is a fine job. Nice work.

Pidgeot *Feathers* @ Choice Band
Adamant / Tangled Feet
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

Just thought I'd point this out

 

[Soroft]

In-game, switching items with the enemy while using Manectric will lose the item forever iirc, so that would be a bit of a waste. Forgive me if I'm wrong though. An option would be Charge Beam for the occasion Sp. Attack boost, or Thunder Wave. I like the team though.

Sunny Day could also do wonders for both Camerupt and Exeggutor, especially since it could use the synthesis boost due to having the most weaknesses in-game. It all depends on a field test though, not exactly something you can perfectly calculate on.

^ He said it was S-CRMT

Anyways... I like it. Would
4Def / 252Atk / 252Spd
work on Pidgeot? For an extra switch in for Pidgeot on a stealth rock. IMO, it's just a nitpick but w/e, I can't really rate stuff posted by you anyways.
