It's summer!!! And down here in Florida it's not any different than it is the rest of the year. Hot, as always. With Gen 6 around the corner, I'm trying to get in a good Gen 5 1/2 team in to have a modifiable template for X and Y. With this offensive sun team, I combine everything needed to get comfortable in the summer sun, and I welcome it with arms wide, wide, wide open.
Sunshine (Weather Inducer/Entry Hazard Lead)
Groudon: Impish @ Leftovers
252 HP | 252 Def | 4 SpD
Earthquake | Stealth Rock | Fire Punch | Roar
Groudon is a returning pokemon from my previous team with different EV placement and the addition of Roar for Dragon Tail and T-Wave switched for Fire Punch. Earthquake is so I don't get screwed by Taunt. Earthquake is enough to 2HKO standard Darkrai. I was thinking about going Lum but I weighed the benefits of HP restoration vs first turn status and I ended up going with the HP. Stealth rock makes Kyurem-W's enemies ripe for the picking. The prehistoric monter also helps take care of Zekrom and rock types that threaten Kyurem-W.
Kid After Finals Enjoying the Sun (The Main Sweeper)
Kyurem-W: Modest @ Choice Specs
4 HP | 252 SpA | 252 Spe
Draco Meteor | Ice Beam | Earth Power | Fusion Flare
The reason I made this team. Moves, EVs, and Choice Specs are standard nuke artist. Focus Blast and Fusion Flare are obviously for type coverage and to abuse that sky high SpA. Everything is easily dented by it's STABs. "Go crazy" has never before been such an appropriate statement.
Tank Top (The Tank)
Ho-oh: Adamant @ Leftovers
EVs: 248 HP | 176 Atk | 84 SpD
Sacred Fire | Brave Bird| Tailwind | Roost
Latias used to be here. Never. Again. Effeminate dragons are unnatural. Ho-oh provides some much needed special defense bulk and another great source of sun abuse. Sacred Fire is one of the scariest moves in pokemon, especially under sun with STAB. Brave Bird is a nice stab, Tailwind is for support, and works well on such a bulky bird. Roost is Roost. I love Roost.
Sunscreen (The Spinblocker/Tank)
Giratina-Origin: Impish @ Griseous Orb
184 Atk | 252 Def | 72 Spe
Stone Edge | Shadow Sneak | Dragon Tail | Will-O-Wisp
Giratina-O is one awesome son of a bitch. Not only is he an amazing spinblocker, but also his STABs give him great coverage in the uber tier. While I cannot place an item on this antimatter dragon, he/she still plays a crucial role on the team and prevents the likes of Blazeiken or Extremekiller Arceus from steamrolling the damn team. Moves are standard in order to burn physical attackers like Zekrom and phaze or use one of it's STABs. EV's are for offensive potential as well as quickness and bulk.
Mosquito Repellent (The Wall/Dragon Counter)
Arceus-Water: Timid @ Splash Plate
252 HP | 200 SpD | 56 Spe
Perish Song | Ice Beam | Flamethrower | Recover
This guy, who replaced Steel-Arceus has been recommended many a time and after using him a little bit, I'm beginning to see why. In the past, my teams have struggled against strong and fast dragon types, namely Palkia, Dialga, and Reshiram. Well no more! Arceus forces out annoying substitute sets with Perish Song, Flamethrower abuses the sun, ice beam knocks dragons out of the sky, and recover is obvious.
Multi-Tool (The Physical Edge)
Genesect: Hasty @ Choice Scarf
252 Atk | 4 SpA | 252 Spe
U-Turn | Iron Head | Explosion | Ice Beam
Genesect is my annoying little U-Turner. Semi-suicidal in a pinch, this Mewtwo terminator (haha do you get it?) provides a nice physical side to my offense. And he is crazy good. Like a Pop-Tart. As a steel-type he also serves as a nice back-up dragon-type troller.
Well, I hoped you liked the team! Rate, hate, steal, and luvdisc if you liked!
