Give me a R, Give me a M.....

My new team, it's pretty much standard but maybe someone can give me some advice. Lol, I fucked up the title.


Roserade (F) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Sleep Powder
- Shadow Ball
- Leaf Storm
- Hidden Power [Ice]

My lead. First, I turn them to sleep with Sleep Powder. Leaf Storm is amazing with STAB and works well with Choice Scarf. Shadow Ball is to kill that damn Gengar. Hidden Power [Ice] is for dragons, I thought about using HP [Fire] for steels but revenge-killing their dragons is a lot more fun.


Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 212 HP/252 Def/46 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Aromatherapy
- Softboiled
- Ice Beam
- Seismic Toss

Standard Bliss. Ice Beam for dragons and Seismic Toss to damage things. I could use CMBliss, but I don't like it that much it. Aromatherapy to cure the rest of the team (mainly Alakazam and Metagross).


Gliscor (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 HP/6 Atk/252 Def
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Roost
- Stealth Rock
- Aerial Ace

Gliscor, the best Heracross counter. I had some problems with Heracross without Gliscor, and I also needed a physical wall, so why not? It also sets up Stealth Rock. Earthquake is for STAB and to hit Tyranitar. Aerial Ace kills Cross, but it isn't exactly needed.


Alakazam (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Focus Blast
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball
- Trick

CSZam, hits hard and always dies when hit. Psychic for STAB and Focus Blast and Shadow Ball for type coverage. Trick when facing Bliss and Cress to swap items. Zam sounds awesome this way, but like I said, it dies too soon. Looking for a replacement here I guess.


Vaporeon (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 188 HP/252 Def/70 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Ice Beam
- Surf
- Wish

Vaporeon, dragonkiller, wisher and Gyarados counter. A really awesome pkmn IMO. Works great with Gliscor too, they cover eachother weaknesses except Grass.

Metagross @ Life Orb
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 152 HP/252 Atk/104 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Agility
- Earthquake
- Meteor Mash
- Explosion

Metagross, my physical sweeper. It's really sturdy, it can always Agility atleast 1 time. Meteor Mash for STAB and EQ for type-coverage. When I'm low on health, I go out with a bang. Life Orb to increase the damage.


Threatlist:

Tyranitar: Gliscor with some help from Vaporeon
Gyarados: Vaporeon
Infernape: Vaporeon
Azelf: Blissey
Rhyperior: Vaporeon and Gliscor
Electivire: Don't know, Metagross and Gliscor can help but can't take EQ's and Ice Punches respectively.
Heracross: Gliscor
Salamence: If SpecsMence: Blissey, else: Vaporeon
Togekiss: Blissey
Gengar: Probably Blissey
Garchomp: Vaporeon, or revenge-killing with Roserade.
Raikou: Blissey
Lucario: Gliscor, SpecsLuke is a problem
Tauros: Metagross and Gliscor
Starmie: Blissey
Weavile: Metagross I guess
Dugtrio: Gliscor and Vaporeon
Alakazam: Blissey
PorygonZ: Blissey
Medicham: Don't know, maybe Metagross
Staraptor: Gliscor and Metagross
Slowbro: Blissey
Machamp: ?
Jolteon: Gliscor if no HP [ice] and Blissey
Aerodactyl: Vaporeon can take him down with Surf after it's hit
Snorlax: If EQ, Gliscor can take its attacks well. Gross helps when Lax doesn't have EQ
Zapdos: Blissey
Blissey: Metagross
Suicune: Vaporeon can HP [Electric] it, but it won't do that much. A Leaf Storm will hurt though
Sceptile: If it's not a sub-seeder; Blissey
Breloom: Gliscor
Slaking: Probably Gliscor, Protect would have been nice on vaporeon
Tangrowth: Roserade helps, special attacker Tangrowth is covered by Blissey
Ninjask: Stealth Rock
Metagross: Gliscor
Heatran: Vaporeon
Celebi: ?
Jirachi: Metagross

Useage in timid scarfgar is beginning to rise, so look out for that. I'd put Toxic spikes over shadow ball, but it's up to you.

Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 212 HP/252 Def/46 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Aromatherapy
- Softboiled
- Ice Beam/Toxic/T-wave/Sing
- Seismic Toss

Standard Bliss. Ice Beam for dragons and Seismic Toss to damage things. I could use CMBliss, but I don't like it that much it. Aromatherapy to cure the rest of the team (mainly Alakazam and Metagross)
Good, but I dont like having both ST and IB on Bliss. You've got vappy and Roserade for that. Stick Twave, Sing or toxic on there somewhere?.


Gliscor (M) @ Leftovers

Good.

Alakazam (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk

If you want to replace him use Specs/ScarfGar Or SpecsLuke/SpecsMence.

Vaporeon (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 188 HP/252 Def/70 SAtk

Obligatory "Calc's to see how much CBChomp Outrage it can survive". Vaporeon is FTW though. Props.

Metagross @ Life Orb
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 152 HP/252 Atk/104 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Agility
- Earthquake
- Meteor Mash
- Explosion

Remember that LO+Setting up can kill ya, so mabye a CB set would be better. If feel the need to keep agiligross there, Take more caution setting him up
This is my team, I will put up a threatlist sometime.
Solid. Timid scarfgar, or for that matter, any scarfed special attacker gives you grief. Mabye SDef Ev's over HP on bliss?
 
Thanks for the rate Aki.

Toxic Spikes on Roserade sounds nice, and if I use it I will replace Ice Beam on Blissey for Thunder Wave. I'll probably use Leftovers on Metagross too, this way he can set-up more easily. About the Scarfed Special Attacker, I think I give Bliss some SpD EV's. If I use Thunder Wave > Ice Beam I can put those SpA EV's in SpD, maybe some EV's from HP.

About CBChomp:
Adamant Garchomp with max EV's and Choice Band uses Outrage against Vaporeon (according to MetalKid):

Damage: 319 - 375
Damage: 71.21% - 83.71%

Damn, that hurts. Let's see how much damage my Metagross takes from that Outrage:​

Damage: 130 - 152
Damage: 38.35% - 44.84%

Wow, a 3HKO. I think this one is incorrect, but Gross resists Outrage after all. Gliscor is 2HKO'd by Outrage though. Best thing I can do to CBChomp is to revenge kill him with Roserade.​

I can't say I like Focus Blast. Far too innacurate, its essentially a Thunder or Blizzard. Go with HP Fighting if you want that or try switching him out for Specs Sceptile or Specsmence for a more bulky special sweeper. Nasty Plot Infernape could also work.

I'm not that fond of Focus Blast either, HP [Fighting] OHKOs Tyranitar and Weavile, but it's like a 5HKO against Blissey (27,03% - 31,83) with leftovers. Zam can't do shit against Bliss even with Focus Blast, but hitting a switch-in with Focus Blast is a lot nicer than hitting with Hidden Power [Fighting].
I think about switching Alakazam for SpecsMence or Heatran with Specs.

Mabye Ice punch on Meta to get chomp? I'd put it over explosion, but that's just me.
 
Keep Focus Blast. Regardless of the accuracy, there is a reason to use Thunder/Blizzard and Focus Blast. Sometimes you need that power to push things from 4HKOs to 3HKOs, in this case Psychic won't 4HKO but Focus Blast atleast 3HKOs Blissey.
 
I keep Focus Blast on Zam. Ice Punch on Gross seems like a good idea, but Gross is still owned by a EQ from CBChomp (OHKO).

EDIT: I put up a threatlist.
