Second Go-Round

[Killericon]

I am aware that this team has serious issues...Namely what it does in the face of Stealth Rock. However, it's got some sentimental Favourites...Can you guys take a look over and tell me what you think? I was Shoddybattling it, and I pulled off a Swords Dance and Agility Baton Pass to my Metagross, and trust me, it beat the crap out of everything, so if ever my Blaziken is up against something that has no shot against Zapdos, I can pull one of THOSE off.

BTW, I know some of the natures are crap, but that's the way it goes.

Kingdra@Leftovers
Sniper
Adament
252 Atk / 4 HP / 252 Spe
~ Dragon Dance
~ Outrage
~ Waterfall
~ Yawn

An unusual lead to be sure, but I like the idea of leading off the game with a Yawn. While the other guy changes out, I get a Dragon dance off, and then proceed to use Kingdra's fantastic typing to rampage for a bit.

Zapdos@Leftovers
Pressure
Timid
252 HP / 132 Def / 84 SpA / 36 Spe
~ Hidden Power Ice 68
~ Thunderbolt
~ Baton Pass
~ Agility

I found someone willing to give me(For a very high price...I've been breeding for days) a badass XD Zapdos. It feels like I'm underusing it by having it Agility Pass to my Porygon-Z, but Hidden Power Ice and Thunderbolt means I can keep it in my back pocket. If he's facing something that Blaziken isn't scared of, I go for the long chain to Metagross.

Porygon-Z@Silk Scarf
Download
Timid
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Nasty Plot
~ Tri Attack
~ Dark Pulse
~ Ice Beam

If it were up to me, he'd have adaptability, but my desire to have this thing be shiny means it comes with Download. I can't decide if I should go with Thunderbolt or Ice Beam here...Oh well. Agility pass from Zapdos, and my boy here needs ONE turn to get a Nasty Plot off before it can sweep the hell out of a team. Fighting presents a problem, but Machamp is the only real threat, as all the other OU/UU fighters have other typings, and Tri Attack is win. The one I'm getting will get Hidden power Dragon 37...Is that worth considering at all?

Blaziken@Leftovers
Blaze
Jolly
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
~ Swords Dance
~ Sky Uppercut
~ Fire Punch
~ Baton Pass

Primary function is to act as a Baton Passer for Metagross, but I also love Blaziken. If the opponent is optimal, I get a couple of attacks off before I Baton.

Metagross@Leftovers
Clear Body
Adamant
252 HP / 244 Def / 12 Spe
~ Meteor Mash
~ Earthquake
~ Thunder Punch
~ Explosion

This is a Tank build, but with Swords Dance, Metagross becomes a rampaging tyrant.

Nidoking@Expert Belt
Poison point
Serious
252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HP
~ Earth Power
~ Thunderbolt
~ Ice Beam
~ Flamethrower

Hate me for having this guy if you, I don't care. He provides nice coverage, and the Expert Belt is a good combo with that much coverage. The thing about this guy is that by the time I send him out, the battle's already decided.

Alrighty, people, what do you think?

Hi.I have to say that your team is realy unusual and it might work.
My only comment is replacing Nidoking for Electivire.Electivire does the same job but a lot better
Electivire@expert belt/life orb
nature:adamant
EVs:6 HP /252 Atk/252 Spe
-Thunderpunch
-Ice punch
-Earthquake (or Meditate)
-Cross Chop

It is a physical oriented Electivire.Meditate is also an option as it gives +1 attack.You can find get directly from PBR if you have trouble finding him.

Thats all I can do.Hope I helped.

 

[KentuckyFriedTorchic]

Aside from some of the natures, your team looks decent. But does your Zapdos outrun a +1 speed standard Gyarados?

 

[Gren Draco]

You'll want to scarf nidoking and make it modest, then it can function somewhat as a revenge killer.
Porygon-Z isn't needed, replace it for some sort of special sponge, since any speedy special attacker can come in and rape most of your team (see Alakazam), also Replace Blaziken for Swampert so you have a lead and a tyranitar counter.

 

[MajorGambit]

Alright. Gyra sets up DD. Your entire team dies to him. Gyra usually comes midgame, and by that time Zappy will be dead or won't have time to set agility up for itself. You gotta make Z a boltbeamer. Take Dark Pulse away.

I know you like Nidoking, but a BUNCH of pokes do this job better then him.
