Aqueel

Thanks for the advice! Felt like forever waiting for someone to leave a comment.

Semi-serious, but still a gimmick since my receiver isn't a standard sweeper...

So let me present: Baton Pass to Pikachu!!!

[sprite]291[/sprite]

Ninjask (M) @ Leftovers

Ability: Speed Boost

EVs: 248 HP/8 Atk/184 Def/68 Spd

Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

- Protect

- Substitute

- Baton Pass

- Harden

---

Ninjask is my lead, and it's main purpose is to baton pass speed boosts. Alternate sub and protect until maxed, and then baton pass to another Pokemon.

[sprite]235[/sprite]

Smeargle (M) @ Shed Shell

Ability: Own Tempo

EVs: 96 HP/120 Def/252 Spd/40 SDef

Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)

- Spore

- Ingrain

- Substitute

- Baton Pass

---

Smeargle is used for the ever-important Ingrain, which blocks whirlwind and roar, and also heals everyturn, therefore nullifying any sand or hail effects. After the speed boost, Spore ensures a sleeping enemy, and Smeargle can then set up and pass.

[sprite]212[/sprite]

Scizor (M) @ Occa Berry

Ability: Technician

EVs: 248 HP/88 Atk/172 Spd

Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

- Swords Dance

- Iron Defense

- Baton Pass

- Bullet Punch

---

Scizor is a counter to many OU threats, and can also boost defense to pass on. His role is simple - baton pass him against something he can counter, set up, and then sweep what he can before baton passing.

[sprite]251[/sprite]

Celebi @ Leftovers

Ability: Natural Cure

EVs: 252 HP/80 Def/176 Spd

Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)

- Calm Mind

- Grass Knot

- Psychic

- Baton Pass

---

Celebi is bulky, and provides Calm Mind to my team. Psychic and Grass Knot provide coverage against additional threats to my team.

[sprite]134[/sprite]

Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers

Ability: Water Absorb

EVs: 192 HP/252 Def/60 Spd

Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)

- Baton Pass

- Wish

- Substitute

- Ice Beam

---

Vaporeon can set up extremely bulky substitutes, and Ice Beam can take down many dragon or flying types that try to switch in. (Die Gliscor, die!) Wish provides healing to my team.

[sprite]025[/sprite]

Pikachu (M) @ Light Ball

Ability: Static

EVs: 4 Def/252 Spd/252 SAtk

Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)

- Thunderbolt

- Hidden Power [ice]

- Grass Knot

- Surf

---

And finally, my receiver. Pikachu's role is to wait in the back until all boosts have been amassed. Then I baton-pass to Pikachu (preferably behind a sub) and then proceed to sweep the opposing team. Beware the yellow electric rat!

You're hacking a team, just use whatever legendary you want, and put whatever moves you want on it. Once you've cheated, you've cheated, so you might as well go all the way.

Don't get Dragon Rage. It only does 40 damage, there's no point to it. Aqua Tail will give you better coverage.

It would help if in the future you posted it's other moves, it's nature, and what you want to use it for. This is a pretty easy question though. Aqua Tail is definitely the better option.

[sprite]482[/sprite]

Azelf @ Focus Sash

Ability: Levitate

EVs: 4 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk

Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)

- Stealth Rock

- Fire Blast

- Psychic

- Explosion

Weaknesses: Bug, Ghost, Dark

Resists: Fighting, Psychic

Immune: Ground

Azelf is a quick standard lead. Focus Sash ensures that it will get Stealth Rock out. Fire Blast can be used for Scizor, Jirachi, or Metagross. Psychic increases type coverage. However, I will usually use Explosion to heavily damage or even possibly kill the enemy lead.

[sprite]251[/sprite]

Celebi @ Leftovers

Ability: Natural Cure

EVs: 252 HP/220 Def/36 Spd

Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)

- Leech Seed

- Thunder Wave

- Grass Knot

- Recover

Weaknesses: Flying, Poison, Bug (4x!), Ghost, Fire, Ice, Dark

Resists: Fighting, Ground, Water, Grass, Electric, Psychic

Celebi is both a wall and a nuisance. Thunder wave is a powerful move that allows my sweepers to set up easily, leech seed is annoying to the enemy and may force them to switch out, ensuring my stealth rock hits more often. Recover is to allow Celebi to last longer, and grass knot is a strong STAB move that's useful against Tyranitar and Gyarados.

[sprite]395[/sprite]

King Dedede (Empoleon) (M) @ Petaya Berry

Ability: Torrent

EVs: 12 HP/12 Def/232 Spd/252 SAtk

Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

- Agility

- Substitute

- Surf

- Ice Beam

Weaknesses: Fighting, Ground, Electric

Resists: Normal, Flying, Rock, Bug, Ghost, Steel, Water, Psychic, Ice, Dragon, Dark (Niiiiice)

Immune: Poison

My favorite sweeper. Switch in on something it resists, use agility, and then sub my way to a special attack + torrent boost. Surf is a powerful STAB that can one-hit many opponents, and Ice Beam provides coverage against dragons and flying types.

[sprite]068[/sprite]

Machamp (M) @ Leftovers

Ability: No Guard

EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Spd

Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

- Dynamicpunch

- Payback

- Stone Edge

- Ice Punch

Weaknesses: Flying, Psychic

Resists: Rock, Bug, Dark

No Guard Machamp. A good partner for Celebi in annoying the enemy. Dynamic Punch confuses 100% of the time, and no one likes using a confused Pokemon. Stone Edge is very powerful, especially since it has no chance to miss now. Ice Punch and Payback provide additional coverage. I decided not to use the Restalk set, since I find I always have a hard time getting it to work.

[sprite]479[/sprite]

Rotom-h @ Choice Scarf

Ability: Levitate

EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk

Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

- Thunderbolt

- Overheat

- Hidden Power [Ground]

- Shadow Ball

Weaknesses: Ghost, Dark

Resists: Flying, Poison, Bug, Steel, Electric

Immune: Normal, Fighting, Ground

Rotom-H covers some weaknesses in my team. It's immune to ground and fighting, and can take down electric Pokemon with HP Ground, therefore completely covering Empoleon's only weaknesses. Shadow Ball is a strong STAB, Thunderbolt is useful against Gyarados, and Overheat helps against steel types.

[sprite]461[/sprite]

Weavile (M) @ Choice Band

Ability: Pressure

EVs: 40 HP/252 Atk/216 Spd

Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)

- Pursuit

- Ice Shard

- Ice Punch

- Low Kick

Weaknesses: Fighting (4x!), Rock, Bug, Steel, Fire

Resists: Ghost, Ice, Dark

Immune: Psychic

My revenge killer. Pursuit is a OHKO against Gengar or Alakazham, even if they don't switch out. Ice Shard is a strong STAB priority move, useful against dragon types that may want to set up (Latias). Ice Punch is used against grass types, and low kick is a very powerful move against Pokemon such as Tyranitar.

Threats:

[sprite]485[/sprite]

Heatran with substitute and HP electric poses a threat, as it can counter my Empoleon and take on Rotom.

Cool, because purple is my favorite colour =)

I was in the middle of this, all I had left to do was zip it and upload it.

D=

Oh well, it needed to be done, so good job =)

Franz Ferdinand - Ulysses

Hit Ho-Oh.

Hit Ho-Oh, which is probably already dead, but I lost track and will keep doing so until this thread is updated.

I was under the impression that the class number didn't matter if it only had one ability =S

If it does, then my Pinlup is non-legit anymore.

Does anyone know when your starter Pokemon's gender, nature, and IV's are determined? When you first start a new game? Or when you first choose one?

Torchic for it's cuteness, but if I had my time back, I would pick Mudkip, since Swampert is amazing.

I may try and find Emerald again at EB Games for cheap =)

[sprite]144[/sprite]

=D

A logical Pokemon game? Not gonna happen =/

I don't know, ever since copyright laws? You can't just download TV shows and movies - it's illegal.

The Pokesav files on this site are currently missing these Pokemon:

Anyone willing to make legit files for these Pokemon? I'm in the middle of compiling all those files into one zip file for this site for the convenience of others. Plus then we can stop all those threads asking for this =/

Hit Ho-Oh.

Yeah, Sucker Punch on Dugtrio will work. I would like a Life Orb for the ability to switch attacks if something EQ resistant moves in, but Choice Band is needed for his main job.

Swampert can block HP Ice Zapdos, and HP Grass Zapdos can be countered with Ludicolo.

Ludicolo CAN use leech seed, so there's a possible usage there. But really, Rain Dance doesn't provide any stalling benefits (doesn't deal damage), so I don't see the point of running him defensive. I chose him because I wanted a special sweeper who wasn't weak to the same things as my physical sweeper.

And yeah, I realized my team had a toxic spikes weaknesses, but somewhere along the line I forgot to account for it. I'll take a look around and see what I can do about that.

-Edit-

Well, no one on my team can rapid spin. The only solution I see would be to remove Scizor and replace him with something that can.

Really, the best two for that would be Tentacruel, who can absorb spikes, set up his own, and use knock off, or Starmie, who can cure upon switch out, recover, and provide good sweeping skills.

And I can't believe you ruined Destati's chance to come in and yell that. Really now, shame on you!

[sprite]385[/sprite]

Jirachi @ Damp Rock

Ability: Serene Grace

EVs: 252 HP/176 Spd/80 SAtk

Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)

- Rain Dance

- Thunder

- Stealth Rock

- U-turn

---

Weaknesses: Ground, Fire

Resists: Normal, Flying, Rock, Steel, Grass, Psychic, Ice, Dragon

Immune: Poison

Jirachi is the lead rain dancer, and mid-rain dancer. Stealth rock is to provide additonal dmg against switch ins, and allows Dugtrio to OHKO Tyranitar. U-Turn is to switch out after doing his job, allowing him to return mid-game to restart Rain Dance in case of a long game. Thunder provides a powerful attack in Rain, with a 60% chance to paralyze.

[sprite]051[/sprite]

Dugtrio (M) @ Choice Band

Ability: Arena Trap

EVs: 40 HP/252 Atk/216 Spd

Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)

- Earthquake

- Rock Slide

- Night Slash

- Sucker Punch

---

Weaknesses: Grass, Water, Ice

Resistances: Poison, Rock

Immune: Electric

Dugtrio traps and kills Tyranitar and Blisseys. With a choice band and high attack, Dugtrio can OHKO Tyranitars who have been damaged by stealth rock, and 2HKO Blisseys. He can also trap and kill certain electric types such as Electivire. The Jolly nature is to allow him to get first attack on a single DD Tyranitar. Sucker Punch allows a strong priority attack, Night Slash can be used against a switch in who's resistant to ground/rock, and Rock Slide provides a strong attack against fliers.

[sprite]419[/sprite]

Floatzel (M) @ Life Orb/Left Overs

Ability: Swift Swim

EVs: 226 HP/252 Atk/8 Def/24 Spd

Lonely nature (+Atk, -Def)

- Bulk Up

- Waterfall

- Ice Punch

- Return

---

Weaknesses: Grass, Electric

Resistances: Steel, Fire, Water, Ice

Floatzel is a powerful physical sweeper. 24 speed will allow it to outrun all threats in the rain, and Bulk Up is used to enhance it's already powerful attack. STAB Waterfalls provide a powerful attack, Ice Punch takes care of fliers or dragons, and Return gives a strong normal attack for near perfect coverage. Life Orb is used to boost his already powerful attack, although I may use Leftovers instead.

[shinysprite]272[/shinysprite]

Ludicolo (M) @ Life Orb

Ability: Swift Swim

EVs: 4 Def/252 Spd/252 SAtk

Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

- Surf

- Grass Knot

- Ice Beam

- Hidden Power [bug]

Weaknesses: Flying, Poison, Bug

Resistances: Ground, Steel, Water

Ludicolo was chosen as my special sweeper for it's potent attack and unique typing. Flying, poison and bug moves aren't usual in the OU tier. Surf was chosen over Hydro Pump because I value accuracy over power. Grass Knot was chosen over Energy Ball because it generally deals more damage, and can 2HKO Gyarados. I have to watch out though, because without Energy Ball, Vaporeon can stall out Grass Knot. Ice Beam gives a strong attack against fliers and dragons, and Hidden Power Bug was chosen because it has a high chance to OHKO a Celebi who was struck with stealth rock.

[sprite]260[/sprite]

Swampert (M) @ Leftovers

Ability: Torrent

EVs: 240 HP/216 Def/52 SAtk

Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)

- Earthquake

- Ice Beam

- Surf

- Rain Dance

Weaknesses: Grass (x4!)

Resistances: Poison, Rock, Steel, Fire

Immune: Electric

Provided Jirachi opens against a Pokemon who counters it, his goal is to set up stealth rocks, then U-turn out to Swampert. Swampert has good resistances, and only one weakness. His immunity to electric attacks also provide a good switch-in against electric types that Dugtrio might not be able to handle. (Zapdos is one). Other then that, Mixpert is a good attacker, with powerful earthquakes, ice beams, and STAB rain-danced surfs.

[sprite]212[/sprite]

Scizor (M) @ Life Orb

Ability: Technician

EVs: 176 HP/100 Atk/56 Spd/176 SDef

Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

- Pursuit

- U-turn

- Roost

- Bullet Punch

---

Weaknesses: Fire (x4!)

Resistances: Normal, Bug, Ghost, Steel, Grass, Psychic, Ice, Dragon, Dark

Immune: Poison

Scizor. He's a strong attacker, and in a rain dance team, fire attacks are lessened against him. It doesn't completely negate his weaknesses, but it does provide some leeway. A slow U-turn allows a good switch-in, pursuit can also handle celebi and latias, and Bullet Punch is the strong attack we all know and love. Roost allows him to heal.

I used this set for a surprise value, as most people expect a swords dance Scizor, but I may switch him to standard since I'm not sure how well this will work.

Sorry wraith, but Swampert has been added for good. He helped me greatly in the battle vs Greencat =)

Yeah, I recall reading that story somewhere in Platinum, but I don't recall where.

Changes have been made, thanks for the advice guys.

One day I'll be experienced enough to post up a new team without any jarring gaps in strategy, but until then, I'm relying on you guys =)

Thinking Azelf doesn't fit it, but I don't know what to replace him with. Swampert?

The objective of this team is to outlast the enemy while damage over time effects take him out.

[sprite]260[/sprite]

Swampert (M) @ Leftovers

Ability: Torrent

EVs: 240 HP/216 Def/52 SAtk

Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)

- Stealth Rock

- Earthquake

- Surf

- Ice Beam

Weaknesses: Grass (x4!)

Resistances: Poison, Rock, Steel, Fire

Immune: Electric

Provides necessary resistances to rock and fire, is another Tyranitar counter, and is a great opener.

[shinysprite]460[/shinysprite]

Obama (M) @ Leftovers

Ability: Snow Warning

EVs: 6 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk

Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)

- Substitute

- Leech Seed

- Blizzard

- Grass Knot

---

Weaknesses: Fighting, Flying, Poison, Rock, Bug, Steel, Fire (x4!)

Resists: Ground, Grass, Water, Electric

Abomasnow is used for Snow Warning. He'll open with sub, and proceed to leech seed. Blizzard is used since it has 100% accuracy in hail, and Grass Knot is an additional STAB attack.

[shinysprite]365[/shinysprite]

Walrein (F) @ Leftovers

Ability: Ice Body

EVs: 220 HP/244 Def/46 Spd

Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)

- Substitute

- Protect

- Roar

- Blizzard

Weaknesses: Fighting, Rock, Grass, Electric

Resistances: Water, Ice

Standard Stallrein. Switching Substitute and Protect basically allows for 32 turns of stalling which equals up to 200% caused by hail to the opposing team, more if I have SR and toxic spikes out. Roar is there to outspeed the standard Skarmony who tries to whirlwind from my stall, and blizzard is for a strong accurate STAB.

[sprite]473[/sprite]

Mamoswine (M) @ Choice Band

Ability: Snow Cloak

EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spd

Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

- Earthquake

- Ice Shard

- Stone Edge

- Bite

---

Weaknesses: Steel, Fighting, Grass, Water, Fire

Resists: Poison

Immune: Electric

Mamoswine is the main sweeper of the team. Surprisingly fast, and insanely powerful. Earthquake will one-shot Scizors, and he outspeeds them. Ice Shard is a STAB priority attack, Stone Edge gives additional coverage, and Bite was thrown in to mix things up. (I really had no idea what to use in that last slot, so I went with more coverage)

[sprite]073[/sprite]

Tentacruel (M) @ Leftovers

Ability: Liquid Ooze

EVs: 252 HP/120 Def/136 SDef

Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)

- Toxic Spikes

- Rapid Spin

- Knock Off

- Surf

Weaknesses: Ground, Electric, Psychic

Resistances: Fighting, Poison, Bug, Steel, Fire, Water, Ice

Tentacruel serves to counter Infernape and Heatran, set up toxic spikes for additional stall damage, rapid spin remove SR, spikes, and knock off to remove leftovers which are countering the hail damage.

[sprite]472[/sprite]

Gliscor (M) @ Leftovers

Ability: Hyper Cutter

EVs: 252 HP/40 Atk/216 Spd

Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)

- Swords Dance

- Roost

- Earthquake

- Stone Edge

Weaknesses: Water, Ice (x4!)

Resists: Fighting, Poison, Bug

Immune: Ground, Electric

Gliscor is the answer to Lucario and Tyranitar. The Jolly nature and speed ev's allow it to outrun all Lucarios, and go for a OHKO earthquake. Roost restores health, and swords dance allows stone edge to OHKO Gyarados, Dragonite, and Salamences after a SR/Hail.

Please note that Spd is Speed, and SpD is special defense. This confused random before, but since this is how Shoddy exported it, I'm leaving it.

Threats:

[sprite]212[/sprite]

Frankly, I don't have anything that can beat it's Bullet Punch. Gliscor resists it, but I've been told Scizor won't be OHKOed by it, and the second Bullet Punch would finish it off. Not only that, but it's immune to the toxic spikes Tentacruel sets up.

I guess the only thing I would do is suicide Gliscor, and then finish Scizor off with Swampert.
