So, in a righteous fit of procrastination, I made a third element of surprise team. Lulziness; here we go.
Ninjask (Daemon) @ Choice Band
Adamant, Speed Boost
-Aerial Ace
-Night Slash
-X-Scissor (U-Turn?)
-Return
252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Def
Maybe I am running out of ideas...?
Well, I guess that since it's a lead, people will assume it'll try to BP to stuff. Yeah, that must have been my mindset. It's flat-out walled by Steel types (besides Metagross, Jirachi and Bronzong), and it still loses to priority, meh. I've always been bad at making leads. >_<
Swampert (Kippy) @ Choice Scarf
Jolly, Torrent
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Waterfall
-Brick Break
252 Speed, 252 Atk, 4 HP
Okay, so I was in a ladder match on Shoddy earlier today and I started out pitted against a lead Swampert. I automatically thought, "Okay, I'll be faster than it." Then, out of effing nowhere, the most random thought popped into my head: "Unless it has a Choice Scarf..." I actually laughed at myself. Out loud.
So, I decided to humor my subconsience and make this! This was actually the inspiration for making an entirely new third team, by the way. =P
At the very least, this should catch people off guard, hahaha.
Crobat (Tactical) @ Leftovers
Careful, Inner Focus
-Curse
-Aerial Ace
-X-Scissor
-Roost/Quick Attack/Return/Pursuit
252 S.Def, 252 HP, 4 Atk
CURSEBAT! I VOWED I WOULD SOMEDAY MAKE IT WORK AND NOW I WILL!
>_>
Anyways...Crobat's Speed is still decent enough (296) in a Speed neutral nature without any EVs, but this set reduces his speed and tries to make him more of a tank-ish thing. Lulz. He has 3 different x4 resistances and one x2 resistance, so it shouldn't be entirely too hard to get in and at least start cursing. There's some flexibility with the last slot, since he's already got Leftovers Roost seems kind of iffy, but still could be useful. Quick Attack would be nice for priority since he's given up speed but usually only pokemon with Technician could pull that sort of thing off, and it isn't as powerful as Return. Pursuit is just something I was considering. Need some suggestions here, plz.
If there were a move that temporarily turns Special attacks into Physical attacks and vice versa, then that would kinda screw him over....but thankfully a move like that doesn't exist (would be cool if one did, though)! o_0
Cresselia (Artemis) @ Toxic Orb
Bold, Levitate
-Moonlight
-Lunar Dance/Ice Beam
-Reflect
-Psycho Shift
252 HP, 128 Def, 128 S.Def
I thought this was kinda lulzy, and I wanted to do it with Clefable, but it doesn't get Psycho Shift. Lameness. Oh well, it gives me an excuse to finally use Cress for once. I stall until Poison starts to become threatening to my survival, where I Shift it to my opponent. Since the poison will keep its "turn counter", it'll kill the opponent before they knew what hit 'em. Meanwhile, I'll Moonlight back up if I need to. Then I'll have another Toxic a-brewin'!
Lunar Dance could be used as a last ditch Wish effort, which could be nice (especially in conjunction with Reflect, there are some good possibilities there), but Ice Beam will at least let me do something if I happen to be Taunted. Need feedback. =P
Breloom (Rabid) @ Toxic Orb
Timid, Poison Heal
-Fake Tears
-Energy Ball
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Vacuum Wave
252 S.Atk, 252 HP, 4 Def
Hahahahah, Special Breloom is like Special Machamp (only not as epic, but it gets its own kicks =P). This thing is a bit sketchy because it's kind of fragile and takes a little bit of setting up. I'd tack on a Sub here but I like the coverage that he has and I like the priority STAB (critique me if I'm making a poor decision, lulz).
Heatran (Steamer) @ Choice Band
Brave, Flash Fire
-Earthquake
-Flamethrower
-Iron Head
-Stone Edge/Return/Crunch
252 Atk, 252 HP, 4 S.Atk
Heh, a team with Cress and Heatran? Lulzy. Unfortunately quite weak to EQ, and even worse since it isn't Scarfed, but that's why I think I'll save it for late game. Flamethrower will probably still hit for better damage than Fire Fang will (and it has better accuracy) since I still have 297 S.Atk. I can lure people into activating Flash Fire with Ninjask and Breloom, as well, although since it's Banded that would only be of use if I am able to accurately predict that the fire pokemon that activated it will switch out. I was thinking about Life Orb, and while it would give flexibility, I really don't believe that Heatran needs to be taking extra damage...
Although I could see it being more effective than Choice Band, I guess. =/
Feeeedbaaaack.
