RMT - Creativity!

This team is my personal favorite I've constructed, and many people are caught completely off guard by the unconventional movesets that I utilize. Keep an open mind. There's no one particular tier this is geared towards, but probably leans towards UU most heavily.

Absol (M) - Cipher
Nature: Jolly
Item: Focus Sash
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Speed
Ability: Super Luck
- Taunt
- Magic Coat
- Sucker Punch
- Psycho Cut

My anti-lead / disruptor. Cipher comes out early in the match, and surprises leads by bouncing back their hazards. Magic Coat can also bounce back various status effects, most notably WoW's burn, allowing Absol to continuously disrupt supportive Pokemon throughout the match. Any slow, bulky supporter Absol can outspeed is immediately Taunt bait. Shut down. Sucker Punch allows Cipher to have offensive presence, working as his STAB as well as priority. Psycho Cut is for additional type coverage and has a level 3 crit chance when Super Luck is factored in, making it crit more than you might expect.

Gardevoir (F) - Kimono
Nature: Timid
Item: Light Clay
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Sp. Atk / 252 Speed
Ability: Trace
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Memento
- Psychic

Dual screens support. Gives the team more overall bulk and allows a very comfortable switch in for offensive powerhouses. Memento allows further security, as it can cripple virtually any opposing force by sharply lowering both offensive stats. This move single handedly makes this set so potent. Psychic is there to provide a little extra power, and keep Kimono from being completely shut down by Taunt. Even though the Psychic attack is unboosted, coming off of Gardevoir's naturally high Sp. Atk stat means that it's a perfectly respectable attack for a support Pokemon.

Mismagius (M) - Dazzle
Nature: Timid
Item: Life Orb
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Sp. Atk / 252 Speed
Ability: Levitate
- Nasty Plot
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Will-O-Wisp

Dazzle, the Nasty Plot sweeper. When people glance at my Mismagius, they assume I'm running the typical sweeper set without WoW, and often times send in a physical counter. The burn cripples common switch ins left and right. Being able to boost up in a turn or two of set up is simple for a Pokemon with three immunities, as switching in for levitating ghosts is quite easy to begin with, and even more so after Kimono (Gardevoir) has set up her dual screens.

Milotic (F) - Roxanne
Nature: Bold
Item: Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Sp. Def
Ability: Marvel Scale
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Recover
- Mirror Coat

Roxie is a devastating tank due to her well rounded defenses, and respectable offenses. Surf is the STAB move of choice, used over Scald as Dazzle's WoW burns already. Ice Beam is for additional coverage, hitting Dragons especially hard. Recover is, well, instant recovery. It's crucial here. Mirror Coat is Roxanne's trump card, allowing her to score a surprise KO against powerful Special sweepers and taking out threats left and right.

Togekiss (M) - Teifu
Nature: Calm
Item: Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Sp. Def
Ability: Serene Grace
- Thunder Wave
- Air Slash
- Aura Sphere
- Heal Bell

Teifu, my lovely Special sponge / cleric. Thunder Wave for status spreading / using in the Paraflinch combo. Air Slash is main STAB and used for Paraflinch. Aura Sphere gives great coverage, and surprises a lot of steels. You're probably thinking, "What?! No Roost?" Well, yeah. No Roost. Heal Bell gives great team support, and I don't need Teifu sticking around for long. He's meant to switch in, inflict status / deal some damage / heal the team, and switch out.

Flygon (M) - Chaos
Nature: Jolly
Item: Choice Band
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Speed
Ability: Levitate
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch
- U-Turn

Pretty standard Flygon. Physical powerhouse. Not much to talk about here, as most of you should know what a Banded Flygon can / should do.

For what it is, I think it's pretty good. Just stick to lower tiers. But... where's entry hazard support? Or Rapid Spin?

Also, Mirror Coat is a bad choice on Milotic, as when you use it once, a good battler knows to attack with damaging moves. Let's say you mispredicted. There goes your Roxanne.
 
I often times bounce back the opponent's entry hazards, giving them spikes / rocks and avoiding them on my side. Mirror Coat bad on Milotic? Not from my experience. An experienced opponent will, of course, avoid using special attacks against her once the secret is uncovered, but with proper prediction, Mirror Coat will completely rid their team of their special sweeper. Thank you for the feedback, anymore would be greatly appreciated! :)
 
Mirror Coat is NOT Magic Coat. They are completely different moves.
Removing Sucker Punch on Absol would also remove offensive priority. It's not fast enough to rely on speed alone to dish out the additional damage I need it to.
Uxie is another screener to consider, yes. I personally like Gardevoir's superior Sp. Attack, though. Uxie's screener set can't utilize Psychic nearly as well, making it complete Taunt bait.
 
Oh, I see where you got that confused. Yeah, in one of my previous posts it definitely could seem like that's what I meant. Absol's Magic Coat bounces back status and hazards with +4 priority, while Mirror Coat on Roxie is for bouncing back special attacks.
 
Bump~ Anyone else want to rate my team? All sorts of feedback more than welcome. I want as many opinions as I can get from the experienced battlers here :)
