Electrode @ Lum Berry
Ability: Sound Proof
Nature: Hasty
EVs: 172 Speed/ 252 SpA/ 40 Atk/ 46 HP
- Taunt
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power Grass
- Explosion
Electrode is my lead, it’s aim is to taunt my opponent, as I Ev’d it’s speed to be exactly 2 above 130 base speeds, saving me Ev’s to make it even more bulky. Usually Swampert / Rhyperior and other ground/rock pokemon switch into Electrode, to combat this, I added in Hidden Power Grass. When my pokemon is going to die, as I am faster than the opponent, I attempt to Explode, but if they have a priority move I have a SLIGHT chance of surviving due to raising my hp.

Electrode Vs Common Leads…
| 1 | Azelf | Taunt it before it taunts me, then proceed to thunderbolt, if it switches to a common Swampert or Rhyperior, I use hidden power grass, if any other pokemon I first analyse the switch and the utility (wall or sweeper), and if it’s a wall, taunt and thunder bolt, and if it’s a sweeper explode.
| 2 | Metagross | OHKO the metagross with a thunderbolt, hopefully, and if not, take the stealth rock .
| 3 | Jirachi | Taunt it and thunder bolt it, the worst it can do after that is flinch me, and because I am faster, I can decide whether to explode or not.
| 4 | Swampert | A joke, hidden power grass straight away!
| 5 | Aerodactyl | Taunt it’s taunt/stealth rock, and proceed to thunderbolt it, or if I’m feeling lucky, thunderbolt from the start.
| 6 | Infernape | Taunt it’s stealth rock, and proceed to thunderbolt it.
| 7 | Hippowdon | Taunt it’s stealth rock and proceed to hidden power grass.
| 8 | Ninjask | Taunt it and then thunderbolt it.
| 9 | Bronzong | Not much I can do against Bronzong, normally I just Taunt it’s leading move and proceed to try and thunderbolt it until it dies.
| 10 | Roserade | Taunt it’s sleep powder and proceed to thunderbolt it to death, as it is quite frail.
Tentacruel @ Leftovers
Ability: Liquid Ooze
Nature: Calm
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SpD
- Toxic Spikes
- Rapid Spin
- Hidden Power Ground
- Surf
I edited the normal hidden power from Electric to Ground, for more power to kill other Tentacruels, and other powerhouses such as Metagross that try and switch into me. With 2 pokemon with electric moves, it was a good choice to spread out the synergy.
Shuckle @ Leftovers
Ability: Glutonny
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP/ 128 Def/ 128 SpDef
- Toxic
- Encore
- Knock-Off
- Rest
Shuckle is my mixed wall, along with Shaymin‘s aromatherapy, the two become kings of stall, Shuckle rests when it‘s low hp, and switches into Shaymin f or a quick recovery. Anyone who dare attempts to set up on Shuckle will be seeing red when I encore them.
Shaymin @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 Spe
- Aromatherapy
- Rest
- Hidden Power Fire
- Seed Flare
Shaymin is the standard set, but greatly aid Shuckle in his stalling, these two make an unbreakable bond. I chose Seed Flare over grass knot because on an average, I would be facing more Vaporeons than Gyarados‘ so why not do more damage?
Rotom - F @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 Spe
- Thunderbolt
- Blizzard
- Shadowball
- Trick
This is basically my main counter, blizzard for threats such as tyranitar, and thunder for togekiss and other annoyers.
Metagross @ Life Orb
Ability: Clear Body
Nature: Bold
EVs: 112 HP / 252 Atk / 12 Def / 132 Spe
- Bullet Punch
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch
The big honcho, it will mash and bash all of my opponents. This basically counters almost all of my threats and is a great asset to my team.
