OK, judging by the deadness of this, as soon as we decide on a Virizion set then we'll go onto the RMT stage. Can people post conversation about the team, rather than just spam?

OK, I don't really want to close this with so little votes, but judging by the deadness of it, I feel I'm going to.

Work Up Expert Belt and Swords Dance Lum Berry both get 2 votes, but Swords Dance Leftovers is the winner with 4 votes!

We are now onto the RMT stage (finally). We need your thoughts about each pokemon, and how the team works as a whole. Please answer the questions about the team.

Overview Questions
What sort of team do you think it is? Do you enjoy playing with it?

How high did you ladder with it?

How solid do you feel the team is?

Did you enjoy going through the CCAT process?


Pokemon Questions - Please answer these questions for each pokemon
What do you feel this pokemon adds to the team?

What do you feel the item does?

What do you feel the EV spread achieves?

What does the specific moveset do?


Of cource, this is quite extensive to answer. If you just answer for maybe a couple of pokemon, that would be enough. We will probably take a while to write the RMT up, so if you want to do one every few days, your whole views will still probably be incorporated into how we write up the team.

Overview Questions
Q:What sort of team do you think it is?
A:Kind of a bulky offense, but also fast-paced hazard stacking. Yeah, not that stable of a team type :/ I guess the best term would be Balanced.

Q:Do you enjoy playing with it?
A: yes

Q:How high did you ladder with it?
A: On the regular PO server (not Smogon)
(18:15:31) ±Porygon: Your rank in Wifi OU is 4787/103652 [1164 points / 17 battles]!

Q:How solid do you feel the team is?
A: four... jk. Heres my real answer; on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most solid, I'd give it a 7.

Q:Did you enjoy going through the CCAT process?
A: I don't know, I wasn't here for most of it.

Okay, so if I haven't been using the pokémon in the right roles, (and you can tell that because of my complaints about the pokémon) some one please tell me.
Otherwise, I want to get rid of Psyshock on Deo-D, as it doesn't really do anything. I also think that a +Def nature is better. Maybe we could try extremespeed to KO low HP stuff?
I also see the team is extremely vulnerable to bulk up conkeldurr after Starmie is dead or conk gets more than one boost.
And we have nothing to counter (or even just KO without almost dying) Aerodactyl.
And I prefer a Jirachi where you move all those SpD EVs and the +SpD nature to Atk. As of now it does almost no damage, although Deo-D's psyshock is still doing around half of that.
That's all I have to say so far.
(But seriously, can we PLEASE change either Jirachi, Deoxys-D, or both?)

Pokemon Questions

Deoxys-D
What do you feel this pokemon adds to the team?
spikes. I usually lead with Deo-D, unless my opponent has a possible spinner or espeon...
What do you feel the item does?
leftovers. bulk. survive. blah blah blah.
What do you feel the EV spread achieves?
not enough. We need 188 speed on neutral nature Deo-D to outspeed +speed cloyster. I want a +def nature to withstand the U-turn onslaught of OU
What does the specific moveset do?
not enough. I liked using a taunt deoxys with a mental herb so it can't be taunted.
_____________________________________

Virizion
What do you feel this pokemon adds to the team?
Virizion can sweep whenever it has no more hard counters and gets a boost. A ferrothorn killer/counter.
What do you feel the item does?
Increases survivability drastically. Lefties was definitely the right choice, IMO.
What do you feel the EV spread achieves?
It gives Virizion the attack and speed it needs to sweep
What does the specific moveset do?
Punch holes in the opponents team against things it hits super-effectively, and sweeps later.
_____________________________________

Heatran
What do you feel this pokemon adds to the team?
Stealth Rock, and a Bulky offense poké. However, Heatran doesn't always make it in early on, so we might want SR on another poké
What do you feel the item does?
A temporary ground weakness. (...also screws with people who aren't paying attention...)
What do you feel the EV spread achieves?
maximum sweepiness
What does the specific moveset do?
KOs dragons not named (Haxorus?) kingdra, or full HP multiscale Dragonite
_____________________________________

Dragonite
What do you feel this pokemon adds to the team?
Priority, more Punching holes where they need to be punched
What do you feel the item does?
lets it KO stuff with no setup
What do you feel the EV spread achieves?
not enough. The max attack is good. It is slow, which is okay, but CAN WE MOVE 4 HP EVs INTO SPEED? currently, our Dnite can only switch in to 4 SRs, but why not let it come in on 5? (perfectionism)
What does the specific moveset do?
it loses to fast stuff
_____________________________________

Starmie
What do you feel this pokemon adds to the team?
Starmie kills gliscor, which this team otherwise could have a problem with.
What do you feel the item does?
Life orb gives Starmie the power it needs to actually KO stuff
What do you feel the EV spread achieves?
Maximum sweepiness. Although, we could have HP=269 by taking away a few EVs in SpA so we have 32 EVs in HP. This gets the max bulk for LO without increasing the recoil. (8 more HP. lol, but still)
What does the specific moveset do?
Kill stuff. I haven't needed rapid spin in my 6 battles though...
_____________________________________

Jirachi
What do you feel this pokemon adds to the team?
Honestly, nothing. Maybe Paralysis, but I haven't actually needed wish support yet, and that is about all it adds.
What do you feel the item does?
Increase Survivability.
What do you feel the EV spread achieves?
A greater ability to sit there, be a blob, (possibly give opponent free turns,) take more hits, and wish for more HP. Notably, I faced Latios who does not 2HKO (maybe not even 3...) with HP[fire]
What does the specific moveset do?
Wish.... Yeah.

You A Stupid Hoe.
Heatran
What do you feel this pokemon adds to the team?
He serves as a nice special sweeper with good coverage and very nice SAtk.
What do you feel the item does?
Nothing. Air Baloon really isn't too good. Only being useful maybe once or twice. And once popped, does nothing. I really think choice scarf Heatran would do better and the just give Jirachi Stealth Rock > Protect would be best.
What do you feel the EV spread achieves?
Complete sweeping material.
What does the specific moveset do?
It uses Heatrens STAB to the fullest. HP Ice is for Dragons that are immune to Earth Power and resist Fire Blast.

Edit: Whatever. I'm so done. I was trying to copy and paste the Heatran picture but serebii won't let me bring up the option thing to do it.

OK, thankyou to those that did make the effort to contribute to this last stage, however I feel there is not enough effort to get this done. I will now write a draft RMT, post it on the thread, and you can look over it and improve it.

OK, when writing the RMT, I've noticed we don't have a team name.

Can people nominate team names, please?
