So here is das team!



--


Swampert @Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP/216 Def/52 SAtk
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Protect
- Ice Beam
- Stealth Rock
---
MixPert

This is a standard mixpert, with SR instead of Hydro pump.
With leftovers and EV´s in both defense and HP makes this guy a beast, able to sponge quite a few attacks while being able to hit back pretty hard himself.

Earthquake is probably not a surprising option seeing as its STAB and has good coverage, and I don't see any reason explaining it any further.
Ice beam is there to take care of Dragons and flying types, and same goes here, the move in itself is pretty much self explanatory
Now on to the key move of this set; Roar.

Protect now replaces Roar. Works as a scoutting move, but also for some free Leftovers healing.

If all goes according to plan Swampert will roar away a threat and make something it can kill come in, of course that only forces a switch, but given
SR and a Hydro Pump even the things resisting the latter will lose a big chunk of HP.

Dusknoir @Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Focus Punch
- Sucker Punch
- Fire Punch
---
Sub Punch


Thanks to Dusknoirs many immunities and of course the ability to take a few hits allows him to setup Substitute,
and then deal large damage to the opposition from Dusknoir's often underestimated Attack stat, and its impressive physical move pool.
This set often comes as a surprise to most people who I fight. Often switching in something thats weak to fighting, or even Gengar to counter it.
Gengar is OH-KO´D by Sucker punch, Tyranitar is OH KO´D by Focus Punch.
WOW now replaces Fire Punch, and im looking forward to seeing this in action.

Porygon2 @Leftovers
Ability: Trace
EVs: 252 HP/216 Def/40 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Discharge
- Ice Beam
- Recover
- Psych Up

---
Defensive Duck

So here is my Gardevoir replacement. Using its near exclusive ability, Trace,
Porygon2 copies Intimidate and cuts Gyarados' and Salamence's Attack on the switch in, allowing it to easily take the beatings.
Discharge does a minimum of 75% to Gyarados, OHKOing after Stealth Rock.
But the fun doesn't end there. It can safely switch into Heatran, Vaporeon, and Jolteon, with ease, thanks to Trace.
It is immune to Fire when it switches into Heatran and forces a switch.
Also boasting Recover for self healing, and one interesting move Psych up.
This move allows me to come in on something that is trying to set up, steal it stats boosts, use recover and hopefully come out on top.
Ice Beam is there for coverage, making short work of those nasty dragons

Metagross @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 28 HP/252 Atk/228 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Zen Headbutt
- Earthquake
- Thunder punch
- Explosion
---
Offensive Choice Scarf
So yes, a pain train coming your way!
MetaScarf is really useful, and brings some speedy power
to a generally slow team.
Working part-time as a semi tank, since it´s pretty bulky.
I chose Meteor Mash over Zen Head butt just because I know the move better,
I also felt that MM has better coverage than ZH.
Earthquake is great as always, and should be used on every
pokémon able to use it.
Thunder punch work great for me, if my other Gyara counter is
out of commission this one seals the deal. It also takes a pretty
OK chunk of HP from the ever-present Skarmory.

With the scarf this guy reaches a quite impressive speed, it out speeds all base 130speed pokemon.
I'm not gonna lie guys, I freaking love Explosion!
There is few things that are as satisfying as blowing up in the
face of some fragile sweeper! .

I wish I could give you more info about this awesome poke, but I feel I would just be quoting from smogon since I haven't had the time to play with this guy to much.

Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 188 HP/252 Def/68 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Wish
- Surf
- Roar
- Protect
--
Loud vaporeon
Ok, so thanks to you guys here on smogon, this guy now replaces my former team mate Jolteon.
He basicly uses the same setup.
Wish is a given to provide a "free" switch onto the correct counter.
Now I have placed roar on this guy over HP electric since this is a Wi-Fi team, and not only for smogon.
Im thinking of going with SUB instead of Either protect or Roar, but I cant really descide.
I really need the roar on this team, as many of my poke´s are easy to set up on, and with protect replacing Roar on swampert, this guy is my last hope of getting some sort of phazing move.
Protect does on the otherhand have a lot of perks, mainly getting a free heal, or just as a scouting move.
What sets this guy appart from Jolteon is his bulk, and side by side with swampert, this guy works hard as a damage spounge.
Since I just added him to my team I find it hard to be any more precis about his exakt role, and how well it works.
But have a look at the Moveset for me will ya?




Venusaur @ Black Sludge
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 252 HP/6 Spd/252 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Sleep Powder
- Leech Seed
- Grass Knot
- Sludge Bomb
---
Standard

Even if I said it in the beginning of my post, I'm gonna make myself clear.
Don't underestimate this guy, hes a valuable asset to my team,
and brings a lot to the table seeing as this guy is the only means of dealing with a strong grass type hence, he carries Sludge Bomb.
You are welcome to help me improve my team, but just saying "switch Venusaur for Roserade" ain't the kind of help I'm looking for.

So this is how it works; Put something to sleep, Leach Seed on the switch, assuming SR is up (which is usually is considering my lead)
the pokemon that decides to switch in has already taken some damage, and in some cases healed venusar some as well.

Some might also argue that Celebi does this job a lot better, and there for think Venusaur should be discarded entirely.
But the thing that puts venusaur above Celebie in my eyes are the ever increasing presence of bug moves such as U-turn and X-scissors.
Celebie also fears Pursuit and Shadow Sneak, which Venusaur shrugs of.

"Venusaur can come in on some of the major physical offensive threats of the meta-game like Gyarados, Electivire,
and Medicham along with special stars like Raikou, Zapdos, Jolteon, and Suicune and foil any chance at a sweep.
Venusaur’s ability to sponge hits from both ends of the offensive spectrum while still maintaining his own offensive capacity with dual STAB sets him apart." - Smogon.com

I'm using BlackSludge instead of leftovers here, just because Venusaur is a pokemon many people would like to trick to equipping a choice item. But by trying this they will get a bad poison instead .

Grass Knot is for coverage and of course STAB, which does surprisingly a good amount of damage to anything not resisting it.
And last but not least, Sludge Bomb.
Not only is this move my 2nd STAB move, but it also takes care of pretty much anything els that resists my grass attacks,
with Venusaurs great defenses I can even take on a celebi and come out on top.

So this is prolly something I will be using for casual pve and some pvp.
I have a couple of competative teams aswell, but I dont feel like posting those.
