JAA Again

Horn Drill

ヘタリア!
Memphis JAA is in four days, and I think I'm almost ready.

Groudon@Shell Bell
252 Atk/120 HP/80 SpDef/58 Def
Adamant
Earthquake
Rock Slide
Swords Dance
Protect

No room for Fire Blast

Lugia@Leftovers
252 HP/120 Def/80 SpDef/58 SpAtk
Calm
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
Calm Mind
Recover

I actually haven't heard of many people using Lugia. Hopefully I can Calm Mind and Recover enough within the time limit.

Ho-oh@Choice Band
252 Atk/252 Spd/6 SpAtk
Lonely
Sacred Fire
Aerial Ace
Earthquake
Shadow Ball

Sacred Fire is actually sorta good for screwing up Groudon. It's a 2HKO with the sun. Burning is nice. Shadow Ball 2HKOs Lugia and Mewtwo.

Mewtwo@Petaya Berry
252 SpAtk/252 Spd/6 HP
Modest
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
Flamethrower
Protect

A beast. It should OHKO most stuff if the Petaya works. It's really fast too.

Snorlax@Quick Claw
252 Atk/252 HP/6 Def
Adamant
Return
Selfdestruct
Shadow Ball
Protect

lol Quick Claw

Gengar@Brightpowder, Scope Lens
252 SPAtk/120 Spd/80 HP/52 Def/6 SpDef
Modest
Thunderbolt
Ice Punch
Will-o-Wisp
Hypnosis

It's actually quite fast, but I'm really unsure about this one. Hypnosis is there for Kyogre, and Will-o-Wisp is for Groudon and Snorlax. I'm worried about the accuracy of Hypnosis though. I'm also torn between those two items. I could use Zapdos, but then Groudon would screw him. I could also use Latios, but that's another Ice Beam weak. I can't use Soul Dew either.

I'm mostly worried about bad luck with stuff like Will-o-Wisp missing and Protect failing.

Lugia does its job better with Light Screen or Reflect IMO. It takes a while to charge up and you might as well screen to help your team and then Calm Mind up.

Hey, I use QC too, so I dunno if you say it 'lol'. 252 Atk in kinda of an overkill, though. You'll need a load of Special Defense, even without Lefties

lol Quick Claw

Gengar@Brightpowder, Scope Lens
252 SPAtk/120 Spd/80 HP/52 Def/6 SpDef
Modest
Thunderbolt
Ice Punch
Will-o-Wisp
Hypnosis
I like Explosion here, but then you'll have to use a different natured Gar and a load of Atk EVs.

If chaos is there, you better watch out.

I heard that he's gonna be there, but I don't know for sure.

I really don't know how much I'm gonna be using Snorlax. I'll probably use him when my opponent has Snorlax and Mewtwo, but I'm afraid to send him out against Groudons. I'm hoping I can surprise people with Ho-oh and use Lugia to help me survive.

You think I should go with Gengar?

Wynaut? ;360; Too much Rock Slide?

I'm hoping they'll ignore Lugia and go after Groudon or something. :p I'll probably only Calm Mind once.

EDIT: Yeah. I guess I could go with Reflect, even if it means getting rid of Calm Mind. I wonder if I could replace Recover with Reflect since I have Leftovers...

But I don't want to waste Calm Mind.

Fine.

I'll get rid of CM for Reflect.

Blah.

I already have Snorlax in there. Or are you saying that I should look out for Snorlax more than Gengar.

I'm actually thinking that I could get rid of Lugia's Thunderbolt for Reflect and keep Calm Mind since I'll be Ice Beaming most things anyway. I'd only use Thunderbolt on Kyogre, and I have Mewtwo.

besides, what does it need to hit other than kyogre? lati@s, ray, and groudon are all weak to IB, and you can just use IB on mewtwo if you're concerned about accuracy.

only other poke that's hit harder by electric than by ice is ho-oh, but you don't use special attacks against it anyway, since its SDef is almost as high as Deoxys-L's.

EDIT: thick fat snorlax resists ice, too.
 
A good thing to do is practice this on Netbattle; to see its weaknesses. Also, change everything that's thunderbolt into thunder, that'll help a lot against Kyogre.

Okay, so Thunder over Tbolt on Mewtwo and Gengar.

I think I will replace Tbolt with Reflect on Lugia since I wouldn't be keeping it in against Kyogre anyway, especially without Calm Mind. I really need CM for Lugia to do any good amount of damage with IB.
