Supp! After a lot of reading, testing, and experience, I've decided to post this team for RMT. There are few counters that I've had problems with, and this team has never been sweeped. Just, note, Rotom should be a Rotom-Wash. I just didn't have a sprite for it. Haha!
I made the banner! Check out Inferno Productions, my art shop!

Ninetails
Ninetales @ Focus Sash
Trait: Drought
EVs: 252 SAtk / 12 Spd / 80 Def / 164 HP
Modest Nature
- SolarBeam
- Nasty Plot
- Hypnosis
- Flamethrower
Here, Ninetails is usually my lead. She/he's also one of my favorite Pokemon ever. Anyway, Ninetails frequently sweeps with ease. With the combo of SolarBeam and Flamethrower, Ninetails already is a clear SpAtk tank. Then, with the combo of Nasty Plot and Hypnosis, it makes enemies too easy. Speedy Ground-types are really the only reoccurring check to this Pokemon. Many people switch out when Ninetails is my lead, rather than Scizor (who occasionally leads) or Metagross. Then, I use Nasty Plot, and they can't do anything because there turn was switching out. Onward to the next Pokemon! (Scroll downwards!)

Scizor
Scizor @ Leftovers
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 104 Spd / 152 HP
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Swords Dance
- U-turn
- Pursuit
Scizor is my Atk Offensive, with a taste of a wall on him. Swords Dance and Bullet Punch is the usual, but if I come across a Celebi, or a Venusaur, then I have Pursuit in there. I don't use it so often, but when I was building the team, it seemed like a good idea to me. Of course, U-Turn is very useful as well. Scizor takes down a lot of Pokemon with Bullet Punch, and is a great compliment to Ninetails. Also, I use this guy to demolish Tyranitars and Politoeds. They throw in Tyranitar (as there lead) and Scizor destroys him. Then, Ninetails is back in and Drought takes it away. Next up!
Third Pokemon
Venusaur
Venusaur @ Black Sludge
Trait: Chlorophyll
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Timid Nature
- Leech Seed
- Giga Drain
- Earthquake
- Sleep Powder
Venusaur's role is support. When I don't have a Pokemon I think will finish that Gallade with four BulkUps on it, I throw in this guy. Leech Seed has always been an amazing move that I loved since the start. Then, Sleep Powder is good for those Pokemon that are sweeping. Giga Drain is the SpAtk move to keep them busy. They switch out, or, occasionally just beat Venusaur. That almost never happens though, because Chlorophyll makes him, just too fast. Also, with Chlorophyll, Heatran can't outrun him, so Earthquake OHKOs it. Continuing on...!
Fourth Poke
Rotom-Wash
Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SDef / 248 HP / 8 SAtk
Calm Nature
- Substitute
- Pain Split
- Hydro Pump
- Discharge
I was never a big fan of the Rotoms. I thought that it was a bit ... Gimmicky. Now, I'm using it rather than Gengar (who I love, and will probably end up replacing this guy). Rotom-W has Sub/Pain Split thing going for him, and that's pretty succesful. Then Hydro Pump and Discharge are for Pokes who are weak to SpAtk Water/Electric. Hydro Pump is for Landorus/Thunderous. This guy is probably the only huge flaw. Well, moving on.
Fifth Member
Metagross
Metagross @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Def / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Impish Nature
- Agility
- Meteor Mash
- Trick
- Zen Headbutt
Ah, Metagross. This guy is preeeeeeeeeeetty good. Agility makes him very balanced, and obviously, speedy. Meteor Mash is his main move, though Zen Headbutt comes in handy very often. I feel trick is one of Metagross' specialties. Toxic Orb and Iron Ball are two items I use often with this move and this Pokemon. It really helps to use it because people don't see it coming so much. Well, that's pretty much it. Last member!
Final Pokemon
Cloyster
Cloyster @ Leftovers
Trait: Skill Link
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 Atk
Impish Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic Spikes
- Icicle Spear
- Spikes
Here's my spinner/set-upper. I was considering Forretress, but that's one too many Fire weaknesses. Anyway, a basic set. Icicle Spear to utilize Skill Link and for a move that isn't Rapid Spin. Not much to say here. He's replaceable. Not special, really. He gets the job done, and that's pretty much it. Well, that's all!
-EDIT-
Thanks to Blue Harvest and many other raters, I've devised this new team of Sunshine and Steel-Killers!
