Aerodactyl @ focus sash
jolly - 252atk, 252spe, 4hp
pressure
- taunt
- stealth rock
- earthquake
- stone edge
Basic support Aerodactyl lead, it taunts stealth rock and sleep leads, stealth rocks, then switches out or starts to attack. The thing I love about Aerodactyl though is if the opponent is support oriented, they usually attack anyway assuming Aerodactyl will use taunt. So I can either set up stealth rock or kill with edgequake. I end up only using taunt on lead Roserade. The role it plays with the team after stealth rock support is usually just a powered down sweeper or the physical pokemon on my team immune to earthquake.

- quick attack
- brick break
How do you consider a pokemon elite? Is it it's stats? It's moves? I think it's when no matter how many times you've faced that pokemon, no matter how much you know it's stats, move sets, strengths, and weaknesses, whenever you see it, you still say "oh shit, what do I do now" I call it the "oh shit" factor. This pokemon has that factor, so many times people will make multiple mistakes while facing this pokemon. So many times has the opponent switched to a fast pokemon with a fire move or a physical wall, just to face this thing with +2-4 attack and no real defence left. That's what makes this pokemon so great. The only way you can counter this pokemon, is with another "oh shit" pokemon.
Heatran @ choice scarf
naive - 252spatk, 252spe, 4hp
flash fire
- flamethrower
- earth power
- hp ice
- explosion
This is mostly in case something can counter Scizor, it takes fire hits, then uses earth power, but since no pokemon will stay in for the move they're weak to, I usually end up using flamethrower or hp ice instead. Flamethrower instead of fire blast for reliability and hp ice for dragons. I was thinking of replacing it with dragon pulse or hp electric though.
Salamence @ choice specs
modest - 252spe, 252spatk, 4hp
intimidate
- draco meteor
- dragon pulse
- flamethrower
- hydro pump
This pokemon is for the one's who counter heatran, draco meteor kills something at least once, dragon pulse for when it's 1 against 2 or switching would be bad, flamethrower for steels, and hydro pump for... I haven't really needed it yet. fun pokemon to use and draco meteor screws the opponent up whether it's resisted or not.
Tentacruel @ black sludge/ leftovers (is there a difference?)
calm - 204hp, 36spd, 96spatk, 172spdef
liquid ooze
- rapid spin
- toxic spikes
- surf
- hp electric
My spinner, can take most special hits, can use toxic spikes to hurt the opponent, and then uses surf against physical walls and special sweepers with low special atk, and hp electric for bulky waters and starmie. Can beat starmie with hp electric whether starmie has thunderbolt or not, and the most common switch in to block it I see is vaporeon, which ends up in a stall war I usually end up winning.
Dugtrio @ choice band
adamant - 252atk, 252spe, 4hp
arena trap
- earthquake
- stone edge
- sucker punch
- aerial ace
My revenge killer. Max attack to ohko tyranitar, edgequake for stab and coverage, sucker punch for ghosts and scarfers with low hp, aerial ace for breloom. I don't use it as much as I'd like, but I can't think of a better fast, physical attacker that's immune to electric moves. If you have suggestions on pokemon to fill weaknesses I have it will probably replace this.
That's my team, and if you can still type, please post your suggestions and rating. Thanks for your time.
