Team Revision:

Spoiler: Team

Tyranitar@Choice Specs
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs:60 HP/196 Speed/252 Special Attack
Modest Nature (+ Special Attack, - Attack)
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Focus Punch
-Dark Pulse

This Tyranitar sets my team up. Sand Stream is immune to tyranitar and three of my other pokemon (one of which has sand veil) This version of tyranitar is also very surprising. BoltBeam can hit almost anything, and dark pulse gains STAB. Focus Punch rids us of any annoying possible blisseys

Blissey @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Defense / 6 Speed
Bold Nature (+Defense, -Attack)
- Seismic Toss
- Ice Beam
- Aromatherapy
- Softboiled

Blissey is the ultimate tank*****. With Snorlax and Regice being beaten by the new world surrounding them, Blissey is pretty much vital for a team. Aromatherapy and Softboiled are just plain evil.

Weezing @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
252 HP/252 Def/ 6 Spd
Bold nature ( + Defense,- Attack)
-Will-O-Wisp
-Flamethrower
-Thunderbolt
-Pain Split

Takes care of physical threats with will o wisp (and the handy levitate), especially Gyarados

Garchomp @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd/ 6 HP
Jolly Nature (+Speed,-Special Attack)
- Swords Dance
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Fire Fang

Physical Monster. Swords Dance raises that massive attack of his, Earthquake and Dragon Claw any **** in your way, Fire Fang Skarm and Bronzong

Dugtrio @ Choice Band
Trait: Arena Trap
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd/ 6 HP
Jolly Nature (+Speed,-Special Attack)
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Aerial Ace
- Sucker Punch
Simple. Trap and finish any threats. I dont see why Duggy is not used that much in DP, its as big of a dick as ever.

Skarmory @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Defense / 6 Speed
Impish Nature (+Defense, -Special Attack)
- Drill Peck
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
- Roost
The standard spiker/defender. Roost makes it an even bigger *******. Leftovers > Shed Shell for two reasons.
A. Dugtrio says bye to magnezone (who the hell uses magnezone anyway ?)
B. With Leftovers, it makes alot of difference when walling

Hp Fight and Dark Pulse over Bolt-beam on Pory-Z. You want to be using Tri attack as your main offense, so other attacks should be hitting the resists.

 

[Kabuto]

Lol, I changed porygon to tyranitar just now Worth the change?

This was my original set so everyone else can see it.

Porygon Z@ Life Orb/expert Belt
Trait: Adaptability
EVs: 4 HP, 252 SAtk, 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+ Speed, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Nasty Plot
-Tri Attack

If I do change back, I will utilize your suggestions.

Flawed threat list. Amongs the msot ridiculous I see is Dugtrio being a Gengar counter when Arena trap does not even work on it, Garchomp being a Garchomp counter, or Dugtrio being a counter to anything with it's god awful defenses. It's a revenge killer, not a counter, of course it can switch into Blissey's Seismic Tosses.

Fire Blast > Fire Fang on Garchomp since you need Swords Dances before it is actually a 2HKO on Skarmory, while Fireblast is a 2HKO even with a -SAtk nature and no EVs. YOu can also use Crunch to get rid of other counters like Slowbro or Cresselia.

Also nothing can switch out of Dugtrio except for flyers/levitators, and Dugtrio will only switch in to revenge kill people. It almost always has CB so I don't know how you plan to actually switch something out an "counter" it.

 

[Kabuto]

I forgot about Gengar having levitate breifly..,...

Still though. Duggy can 1HKO certain pokemon and trap them.

Heracross, Tyranitar, etc.

Garchomps Dragon Claw DOES make it work against other garchomp. It really depends on the situation.

And I would add fire blast, but my garchomps sp attack IV is only 7, (while the rest are 30-31)

Garchomp is all I really have done, I want good tips on my team before I start breeding more.

By all means go into a risk of "who's got the faster chomp", but your own Chomp can't switch in to counter the damn thing in the first place. Thats like saying "lol my Farfetch can counter Hera cos it has Aerial Ace", where it's never switching in safely in a million years.

If its that low, just bung a few EVs into Sp.Atk. Use a dmg calc, factor in lefties and just do enough to guarentee a 2HKO on standard skarm (which I believe is max HP / max def). Skarm can take a Fire Fang like crap all and just phaze you out.

Calc time. A counter is not only being able to kill what you are countering, you also have to be able to switch into it.

Tyranitar (no item) 252 attack on your dugtrio

Earthquake -91.94% - 108.53%

Now if it actually had an item, CB for instance, you would be dead. If spikes was on the field, you would be dead.

Crunch - 110.90% - 130.33%

And this is still CB-less tyranitar

Stone edge - without CB 69.19% - 81.52%/ with CB 103.32% - 121.80%

I doubt I need to do calcs for random Focus Punch Tyranitar.

Heracross time, since all are CBed, it will be 252 attack, neutral nature with CB. All Choice Scarf Heracross should be able to 2HKO you anyways without being koed back, so that's why I won't take them into consideration

Close Combat: 235.55% - 277.25%

Mega horn: 235.55% - 277.25%

Stone edge: 65.40% - 77.25%

Wow it survives, of course Guts activated Heracross will do 98.10% - 115.64%.

Garchomp with max attack, no held item on your Garchomp

Earthquake: 48.46% - 56.86%

Needless to say, EQ is a 2HKO and if both are jolly, just becomes a guessing game. Obviously Dragon Claw will kill you.

 

[Kabuto]

well in any event, dugtrio should be pretty useful. Choice scarf is one of the only things holding it back, but I think duggy can STILL outrun most foes anyway.

Any other suggestions/problems. Anyone that is a good replacement?
