be the upgraded version of me
My mistake, BlankZero, I had CB on TTar when I did the calcs ;x Still the spread I chose saves 4 EVs while having virtually identicaly bulk to yours.
I've been dabbling with Sun Teams (which includes Ninetales!) - peaked #1 on the ladder (is shit) but was surpassed today by MosNanDa ;(
I had to make several tweaks to make this team work. I got owned by a Sand team with Rock Slide / EQ spam and even more embarrassingly to Terrakion + Whimsicott combo, which made me realize I need more Levitate Pokemon + Rock resist. I also realized that my team is too fucking slow (can't rely on TR forever), so I added Shiftry, which also helps with Ground-, Rock-, and Water-types better than what I had before (Hydreigon). I considered other fast Grass users like Skymin or Sawsbuck, but Fake Out + Sucker Punch priority won me over to Shiftry.
The point of this team is pretty much to set up Sun and Trick Room so Victini and Heatran can burn down everything with V-destroy and Eruption spam, respectively.
Death by Terrakion - Rock Slide flinch meant that I couldn't finish off +6 Terrakion on turn 2. Sitrus Berry lets Terrakion tank a second Psyshock (who uses Sitrus Berry Terrakion -_-), and I proceed to be crushed by Rock Slide spam...
Pwned by QuakeSlide...http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/smogondoubles-21387367 - Losing Gastrodon in turn 2 = gg. I was using Kyurem-B this time as my glue mon, but I ditched it later on for Hydreigon (which was replaced by Shiftry for Speed). Cresselia failed as it is finished by +2 Rock Slide from Excadrill before setting up Trick Room.
Rain vs Sunhttp://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/smogondoubles-21430591 - He miserably failed to pull off the Perish Trap combo in the beginning. Predicted LRod Manectric switch-in turn 5 to nail it with Hydro Pump instead. Victini should have Brick Break KO Politoed instead of Vaporeon; didn't expect Cresselia to be slower than the frog -_-;;
Sand vs Sunhttp://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/smogondoubles-21414709 - Funny game where Rotom-W and Victini takes down Tyranitar turn 1. Sun for the rest of the game
vs noobcubed - this was one of the better games I had on the ladder. Shiftry's faster Fake Out + Ninetales Fire Blast took out Mienshao turn 1, giving me an instant lead. The rest of the battle didn't go quite as smoothly, though. Gastrodon's Ice Beam is weak shit that couldn't KO Landorus-T, which costed my Shiftry, and the opponent's Specs Trick Rotom-W with HP Grass harassed my team by tricking Specs onto Victini as it used Trick Room and threatening to KO my Gastrodon. Once the Trick Room went up, Eruptran cleaned the floor.
vs noobcubed R2http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/smogondoubles-30385440 - noobcube didn't fall for the same trick twice as he switched out his Mienshao to Rotom-W on Fake Out + Fire Blast. Landorus-T intimidates Shiftry, but its Seed Bomb KOs Rotom-W anyways, which is great for me because it was a major nuisance last game. Decided to try Will-O-Wisp > Disable on Ninetales. Wide Guard shenanigans at the end stopped Eruption from Heatran, but not V-destroy from Victini.
