Something New

[ilucado]

HELLO SEREBII COMMUNITY!

Today is a nice day for Pokemon!


Ok.. so lets start with this!


THE TEAM:

The propose of this team is to have 3 guys to be sweepers and 3 guys to at least 1 of them. I choose Alakazam, Crawdaunt and Bisharp because I like them... but feel free to give hints or suggestions! =) I would like if could give me some advice on the "setters", too!


Smeargle (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Own Tempo
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Spore
- Quiver Dance
- Substitute
- Baton Pass

This is my lead "Setter" Because he can set-up both Physical or Special sweepers.

Crawdaunt (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Adaptability
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Crabhammer
- Crunch
- Brick Break
- Aerial Ace

Crawdaunt is my jack of all trades and his new ability is just great giving his typing and coverage.

Blastoise @ Leftovers
Bold, Torrent
EVs: 252 HP/68 Def/188 SpD
- Rapid Spin
- Roar
- Scald
- Ice Beam

Bisharp (M) @ Dark Gem
Trait: Defiant
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Brick Break
- Iron Head
- Stone Edge
- Pursuit

I gave him Dark Gem so it can have a stronger Pursuit since most guys will try to him Combusken with a Psychic move and then Switch after seeing Bisharp.

Ninjask (M) @ Liechi Berry
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- U-turn
- Swords Dance
- Substitute
- Baton Pass

Its.. a Ninjask! xD

Alakazam (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Magic Guard
EVs: 6 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Psychic
- Psyshock
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast

Is the proud of my team and I will not change this guy (maybe his moves, but not him). Psychic is physical STAB and Psyshock is special STAB! Shadow Ball and Focus Blast for coverage.


Please Rate! =)

PS: I have a problem countering dragons..

Ok, this team is pure UU except for Alakazam.
Fighting types destroy half of your team, and if alakazam is gone, there is nothing you can do.
Eviolite Combusken is pretty gimmicky, but I dont know how well it will work. Give it SD, as your entire team as moves with 100% accuracy.
Now, your team as BP, but half of it is weak to fighting, which is really common in OU. It will fall apart quickly to priority fighting type attacks. Change Alakazam for someone else, so it wont be OU. Maybe Gallade or Beeheeyem?

What if I change Combusken for a Mew:

Mew @ Leftovers
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spd
Hardy Nature
- Substitute
- Rock Polish
- Nasty Plot
- Baton Pass

And Bisharp for a Chandelure:

Chandelure (M) @ Wise Glasses/Life Orb?
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Fire Blast
- Energy Ball
- Hidden Power [Dragon]

Smeargle: Using SmashPass is pretty risky, since after a couple of them, you have -2 for each defense, something you DON'T like at all. And, you already have Combusken with Hone Claws for every Physical attacker, so why not trying Quiver Dance? It gives a way to boost Special attackers without being frail.

Combusken: You don't really need him, as you have a reliable set-up Passer in Ninjask, use a Rapid Spinner instead.

Blastoise @ Leftovers
Bold, Torrent
EVs: 252 HP/68 Def/188 SpD
- Rapid Spin
- Roar
- Scald
- Ice Beam

Ninjask: I would replace Substitute with Protect, to have more Speed Boosts.

Bisharp: Give him Brick Break.

Crawdaunt: A Jolly nature could be better, to increase his Speed more, which lacks. Also give him Dragon Dance instead of Aerial Ace. Or, if you want to stay with low Speed but with more bulk, give him a nature that increases his Sp. Defense, and obviously Max Attack and Sp. Defense EVs, and 4 HP onto HP or Defense, and Payback over Aerial Ace/Dragon Dance.

Alakazam: I would go with Psychic and not Psyshock, switch it with Recover, so you can have a reliable recovery move. Oh, and give him a Life Orb. Magic Guard prevents the damage from it.
