Needing help with creating a team

[Genji]

There is a compo coming up soon I am planning on entering.

Sadly enough the rule set is kinda annoying in my eyes.

The competition will be set up like this

1 vs1 knock out system

use 3 of the 6 pokemon (except in the finals then all 6 are used)

Uber tier is not allowed

rule sets applied

sleep clause

KO clause

freeze clause

species clause

OHKO clause

evasion clause

if battle ends by use of life orb. the user with life orb wins

combination of azumarill+belly drum+aua jet is forbidden

items not allowed: Brightpowder, Focus Band, King's Rock, Lax Incense, Quick Claw, Razor Claw, Razor Fang, Scope Lens

these rules really make it hard for me to decide what to use.

I wondered if any of you might have some sugestions.

Pokemon I was thinking of (didnt put to much thought in the move sets yet or the EV):

Luxray, Flygon and Walrein

[memjee]

Luxray - There are better pokemon out there

Walrein - Unless you have a fully set hail team, he can be pretty useless

Flygon - Now this is a great pokemo, although he is pretty outclass by garchomp, use him if it's allowed, if not. Flygon is a great choice.

I've never really rated teams of 3 but I think I get the idea

Pokemon that compliments each other is impotant.

If you run flygon/garchomp

You need someone to resist ice and dragon attacks. Good offensive options are Scizor, Empoleon, Metagross and Heatran.

Flygon@Choice Scarf/Choice Band

EV: 252 Atk, 252 Spe

Dragon Claw/Outrage

Earthquake

U-Turn

Fire Punch/Stone Edge

Info: Flygon is great but is outclassed by garchomp (Garchomp is banned from standard play though) It's only advantage over garchomp is that it knows u-turn, which whichs it great at scouting

Scizor@Life Orb

Evs: 252 Atk 252 hp

Sword Dance

Bullet Punch

Superpower

U-turn/Pursuit

Hyper Offensive pokemon, it's great but it might not take dragon, ice attacks as desired. One Sword dance and bullet punch is wreak havoc

Empoleon@Petaya Berry

Evs: 12 HP, 12 Def, 232 Spe, 252 Satk

Agility

Substitute

Surf

Grass Knot/IceBeam

Info: A personal favorite pokemon of mine, it can problem take dragons attacks better and ice attacks will never b e a problem. Bring it into one of it's 12 resistences and agility, and keep subbing till you reach 25% or lower. There the ability torrent and the berry petaya will overall make surf 100% stronger. Also the ground dragons flygon and garchomp compliment this pokemon perfectly. Problem is it's walled by blissey and ha many common weaknessnes

I'll do more later

For all out attacking power, little else will beat a Garchomp, a Metagross, and a Latias. The sheer power offered by this trio is astounding. Metagross can run an easy Choice Band set, or a LO set, or a Scarf set... or an Agility set too. Garchomp can and should run the old standard Yachechomp. Latias can do fantastically with LO, Specs, Scarf, CM, or whatever you choose to run.

[memjee]

Yea.. those are some super powered pokemon. And they cover each others weakess well

[Genji]

Sorry it is my bad for not linking to the uber pokemon list.

As you can see garchomp isnt allowed. Does that destroy the entire purpose of metagross and latias?

As for Scizor I dont have that many good experiences with it. But I will give him a try in some test battles later. Unless there might be some other suggestions instead of him.

Right now I have decided to take the suggested flygon and empoleon allong. Both are pokemon I like.

So right now my team will look like this(Scizor not included since I want to test a bit with him first):

Flygon@Choice Scarf/Choice Band

EV: 252 Atk, 252 Spe

Dragon Claw/Outrage

Earthquake

U-Turn

Fire Punch/Stone Edge

Empoleon@Petaya Berry

Evs: 12 HP, 12 Def, 232 Spe, 252 Satk

Agility

Substitute

Surf

Grass Knot/IceBeam

[Illithian]

Nah, most tournaments allow Garchomp. In that case, a Salamence will work well in its place.
