Forum - RMT Toxic Spikes/ Sandstorm/ Spikes/ Gravity?
Wut?
0 | Okay, my Trick/Explosion team actually has a pretty good record. However, I did run across a Flygon that devastated my team. I decided to build a team around Flygon seeing as how good it is now that Garchomp is gone. However, the more I thought about my team, the more I drifted away from it. I ended up with this, but when I look at this, it just blows my mind how much synergy this team has. Bronzong @ Macho Brace Ability: Heatproof EVs: 252 HP / 84 Atk / 80 Def / 92 SpDef Sassy nature (+SpDef, -Spd) -Trick -Stealth Rock -Gyro Ball -Earthquake Alright new lead here. Macho Brace screws up every pokemon pretty much. SR for support to start up my TSSG. Earthquake to hit those who fall onto the ground due to Gravity. Heatproof over Levitate because of Gravity. I'm thinking about placing Hypnosis on one of my attack moves for an easier switch-in for Ttar. Tyranitar (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Sandstream EVs: 252 Hp/52 Atk/ 176 SpAtk/28 Spd Quiet nature (+SpAatk, -Spd) -Substitute -Focus Punch -Dark Pulse -Thunderbolt Set-up Sandstorm then Substitute. Then I focus punch to deal massive damage. Thunderbolt for better coverage Skarmory (F) @ Leftovers Ability: Keen Eye EVs: 252 Hp/ 64 Atk/ 176 Def/ 16 Spd Impish nature (+Def, -SpAtk) -Brave Bird -Roost -Spikes -Whirlwind Standard Skarmory here. I always wanted to use SkarmBliss, but I’ve usually an offensive kind of player. This is where my team starts to come together. It’s actually a TSS. I want to force switch-outs. They’re so detrimental when played correctly. Blissey (F) @ Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 252 Def/ 80 SpAtk/ 176 SpDef Calm nature (+SpDef, -Atk) -Wish -Softboiled -Flamethrower -Seismic Toss Here’s part two of SkarmBliss (duh). Softboiled over Wish because I have a Dusknoir coming up to take Explosions or other things. Flamethrower to get Heracross and like Scizor. Tentacruel (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Liquid Ooze EVs: 252 Hp/ 120 Def/ 136 SpDef Calm nature (+SpDef, -Atk) -Surf -Toxic Spikes -Knock Off -Rapid Spin Alright, if you’ve been following along, you’ll notice that all my pokes so far are weak to Infernape with the exception of Skarmory in good prediction cases. Well here’s my counter and the final part of my TSS combo. Set-up toxic spikes on Infernape. Rapid Spin to make it easier for me to switch around. To me, Knock Off is a world better than anything else. I mean knowing the item is almost the same thing as knowing the set. Dusknoir (F) @ Leftovers Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 Hp/252 Def/ 6 SpDef Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd) -Gravity -Dynamic Punch -Pain Split -Ice Punch HAHAHAHA, I wasn’t through with the TSS combo. Gravity brings all those who Levitate down to suffer the effects of Poison. Ice Punch for coverage. Well here's my team. Suggestions/recommendations/comments? |

I decided to build a team around Flygon seeing as how good it is now that Garchomp is gone. However, the more I thought about my team, the more I drifted away from it. I ended up with this, but when I look at this, it just blows my mind how much synergy this team has. Breloom (F) @ Choice Scarf Ability: Poison Heal EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/6 Hp Jolly nature (+Spd, -SpAtk) -Spore -Superpower -Stone Edge -Seed Bomb Putting their lead or counter to sleep is almost always a good thing. The only thing I have watch out for are Sleep Talkers. Nothing much to say here, pretty standard. I spore and switch to my true lead. He also takes on all Tricks and Toxics. I heard ScarfBreloom was a pretty good anti lead and although it's good for the surprise factor, I think you are better off using something that can help set up SR on the first turn. I would classify Heatran/Roserade as suicide leads while Mamoswine/Metagross/Jirachi are the more bulky ones. Also by using SR on your lead pokemon, it'll save Blissey an extra slot in her moveset, which helps quite a bit. Tyranitar (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Sandstream EVs: 252 Hp/52 Atk/ 176 SpA/28 Spd Quiet nature (+SpA, -Spd) -Substitute -Focus Punch -Dark Pulse -Flamethrower Ah my lead. Set-up Sandstorm then Substitute if they kept their sleeping pokemon in. Then I focus punch to deal massive damage. Flamethrower is there to punch through otherwise problematic steel types. Ok, so I honestly think Flamethrower is wasting a moveslot right here. Personally I would use Thunderbolt over it, since it can hit all Steels for neutral. And you don't have to fear much. Heatran/Scizor is OHKO/2HKOd respectively by Focus Punch w/ SR up. Dark Pulse and Focus Punch can handle Bronzong/Metagross/Jirachi, which leaves Skarmory. Thunderbolt 2HKOs Skarmory and Flamethrower does the same, however with Flamethrower, Heatrans can switch in and pseudo stall you with mind games and what not. All in all, Thunderbolt > Flamethrower. Better coverage etc. It also hits any Gyarados switch ins, something Flamethrower cannot do. And Gyarados switching in is BAD especially for this team. Which can be broken apart once Gyarados gets a DD. Waterfall/Earthquake/Ice Fang rapes your whole team. Especially since Gravity is a double edged sword against Skarmory. Focus Punch - 317 Atk vs 236 Def & 343 HP (150 Base Power): 145 - 171 (42.27% - 49.85%) This is to the standard 248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spd Scizor w/ Choice Band btw. Skarmory (F) @ Leftovers Ability: Keen Eye EVs: 252 Hp/ 64 Atk/ 176 Def/ 16 Spd Impish nature (+Def, -SpAtk) -Brave Bird -Roost -Spikes -Whirlwind Standard Skarmory here.

They’re so detrimental when played correctly. Blissey (F) @ Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 252 Def/ 80 SpA/ 176 SpD Calm nature (+SpD, -Atk) -Wish -Softboiled -Flamethrower -Stealth Rock Here’s part two of SkarmBliss (duh). I needed someone to SR and I figured this was the best place to put it. Softboiled over Wish because I have a Dusknoir coming up to take Explosions or other things. Flamethrower to get Heracross and like Scizor. [b]Assuming you'll drop Breloom for something else, you should replace Stealth Rock with Seismic Toss or Protect Tentacruel (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Liquid Ooze EVs: 252 Hp/ 120 Def/ 136 SpD Calm nature (+SpD, -Atk) -Surf -Toxic Spikes -Knock Off -Rapid Spin Alright, if you’ve been following along, you’ll notice that all my pokes so far are weak to Infernape with the exception of Scarfloom in some cases and Skarmory in good prediction cases.
