Hello Smogon! I want you to rate my team, I've worked with this team for a long time and it has given me many wins! I'm sorry that there are no images( it's not working) so here it is! - Rotom262
The Leading Duo or "Hea-Champ"
----------------------------------------
Machamp @ Lum Berry
Nature: Adamant
240hp, 248atk, 16spd,4spe
-DynamicPunch
-Payback
-Bullet Punch
-Ice Punch
Heatran@ Shuca Berry
Nature: Naive
4hp,252sp.atk,252spe
-Fire Blast
-Earth Power
-Stealth Rock
-Explosion
No, this isn't a 2 v 2 team, I just grouped these two together. Heatran and Machamp start the battle off, obviously Heatran sets up Stealth Rock to help the offensive Pokemon on my team to snag some KO's with stealth rock. Machamp doesn't set up stealth rock or anything Heatran has that department covered, no Machamp defeats many common leads that Heatran can't defeat. For example an Aerodactyl gets 2hit KO'd from bullet punch which could 2 hit KO Heatran with earthquake, Machamp has problems with Jirachi because it can flinch it with Iron Head then KO next turn. Heatran 4x resists Iron Head and U-Turn(a standard Lead Jirachi move set) letting it counter Jirachi easily with no fear of switching in and KOing Jirachi with Fire Blast or setting up stealth rock. I was thinking about just using Heatran but I saw the Smog issue#9's Lead synergy article inspiring me to use this Duo. Azelf is somewhat annoying to Heatran being able to Taunt it, but Machamp can payback Azelf not getting OHKO"d by a Psychic. Heatran and Machamp defeat pretty much every single lead out there! This duo is the lead(s) for my team!
The Physical attacker
--------------------------------
Tyranitar@ Choice Band
Nature: Adamant
160hp,252atk,96spe
-Stone Edge
-Pursuit
-Crunch
-Aqua Tail
I used to have Dragon Dance Tyranitar because I liked the Idea of a speedy powerful sweeper. But unfortunatley it could only defeat 1 Pokemon unless the team lacked Scizor, it also had to set up a dragon dance leaving it exposed. This time I have a more immediate threat in the form of CB tar. Tyranitar plays the role of being my most reliable physical attacker and defeats many Pokemon. Hippowdon is usually considered a very good switch in To Tyranitar, but with Aqua Tail Hippowdon gets 2HKO'd when it switches in, therefore defeating the mighty Hippo! Tyranitar suits my team well, defeating many Pokemon. Choice Band Tyranitar Outspeeds Skarmory which is a surprise, 2HKOing the behemoth with Stone Edge. Tyranitar defeats a 252hp,252atk version of Tyranitar using Aqua Tail, which other wise would be a pain to one of my team members(Rotom-H). Tyranitar has proven to be a great team player for me!
The Physical Wall
------------------------
Rotom-H@ Leftovers
Nature:Bold
252hp,168def,88spe
-Will-o-Wisp
-Thunderbolt
-Shadow Ball
-Overheat
Rotom-H is my wall of choice for many reasons. One is that it poses a large threat to physical attackers with Will-O-Wisp, Two it matches up well with other defensive Pokemon using Thunderbolt on Skarmory, Overheat on Forretress and Bronzong.Shadow Ball hit's Dusknoir which otherwise could be a real nuisance to Rotom-H. Rotom-H helps stop Physical sweepers with Will-O-Wisp which is always welcome. Rotom-H is very helpful to my team!
The Special Sweeper
---------------------
Raikou@Leftovers
Nature:Timid
124hp,116sp.atk,52spd,216spe
-Substitute
-Calm Mind
-Tunderbolt
-HP Ice
Substitute Raikou was a classic in the 3rd generation. When I saw that moveset I wanted to try it out this generation. Surprisingly enough this Raikou has helped my team come back in the battle when things are looking grim! Substitute guards Raikou from statuses while using calm mind to boost it's stats. Thunderbolt+HP Ice gives Raikou a Psuedo Bolt Beam combo resisted only by Magnezone! Raikou clears Bulky waters off the feild which could give my team trouble. Substitute can sort of guard Raikou from Revenge Killers if it can keep it up, and if it gets that luxury it is hard to stop! Raikou does get stopped by blissey but fortunatley for it my team has Machamp which can OHKO the big bad egg with Dynamic Punch.
Raikou helps my team by defeating bulky waters.
The Revenger
--------------
Dragonite@Choice Scarf
Nature:Jolly
4hp,252atk,252spe
-Super Power
-Earthquake
-Outrage
-Thunder Punch
Since Smogon's council voted Salamence Uber, Dragonite doesn't have that inferiority complex anymore. Heracross is on the brink of UU so I didn't want it as my revenge killer, Jirachi didn't have enough Power so I didn't want that either, then I stumbled upon Dragonite. Dragonite had the stats, the movepool, and the overall versatility to become my revenge killer! Dragonite has taken Salamence's place so no worries. Dragonite can Outrun a DDtar and KO with superpower, If dragonite can win the speed tie with an Adamant DD Gyarados it can KO with thunderpunch, so any speedy threat to my team is usually taken care off with Dragonite. So Dragonite is the final member of my team!
