Perish Stall Sweep

[Neverender_1862]

It's been a long time since I've been here. So, I'm here for an RMT. Here's the team:

Aerodactyl @ Focus Sash
Jolly Nature
64 HP, 76 Atk, 176 Def, 192 Spe
~ Taunt
~ Stealth Rock
~ Earthquake
~ Crunch/Stone Edge

A more defensive spread for the Aerodactyl Suicide Lead. It's purpose is, of course, to set up Stealth Rock while keeping the common leads in check. The main problem would be whether to pick Crunch to pick off Lead Azelf and Gengar, but losing STAB Stone Edge, or the other way around.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Bold Nature
252 Def, 88 SpA, 164 SpD
~ Flamethrower
~ Toxic
~ Protect
~ Wish

The point of this is to begin wearing out the foe using Toxic and stalling with Wish + Protect. There's not much explaining to do here, except that it's purely for sponging hits while wearing down the foe's Pokémon.

Celebi @ Leftovers
Bold Nature
252 HP, 220 Def, 36 Spe
~ Leech Seed
~ Heal Bell/Protect/Baton Pass
~ Grass Knot
~ Perish Song

The second stall/support for my team. Leech Seed would theoretically work well with any of the three moves I listed for the second slot. Heal Bell would work for support, Protect will work for stalling, and Baton Pass is also pretty good to switch out from Perish Song. It's really hard to choose.

Dragonite @ Leftovers
Impish Nature
224 HP, 84 Atk, 200 Spe
~ Dragon Dance
~ Roost
~ Outrage
~ Earthquake

Physical Tank. It's designed to take generic hits, and it would be more effective if Blissey is still in play.

The last two are late-game sweepers. They will take the floor when everyone's been wiped/weakened by Blissey or Celebi.

Empoleon @ Petaya Berry
Modest Nature
12 HP, 12 Def, 252 SpA, 232 Spe
~ Substitute
~ Agility
~ Surf
~ Ice Beam

It's way more effective if walls and sweepers that threaten this sweep have been taken down by Blissey/Celebi. I'm sure you can see how this Empoleon is to be played.

Lucario @ Life Orb
Adamant Nature
4 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spe
~ Swords Dance
~ Crunch
~ Close Combat
~ ExtremeSpeed

This is the scariest set I've ever seen in DP Competitive battling. I've never won against this Lucario yet with the two teams I've used. So I decided to abuse this Pokémon with the proper support from Blissey and Celebi. Arguably, it's also very dangerous during the latter part of the game, when all the threats have been eliminated. Upon one Swords Dance, it destroys anything that does not resist or is immune to its three attacks. I've seen it in play before, and believe me, you do NOT want to get caught facing this Pokémon without anything that resists or outright stops its attacks.

Please tell me what you guys think of this team, whether it's viable for play or not, and please, suggest improvements, if any.

FYI, if you use baton pass while perish song is in effect, the countdown is carried on. so don't use baton pass

Standard set. Put Stone Edge over Crunch, it covers more threats honestly.

Blissey @ Leftovers

~ Wish

Run either T-Bolt OR Ice Beam as they cover more OUs. Flamethrower is good for Lucario and Scizor, yes, but their not the only physical threats out there.

Celebi @ Leftovers
Bold Nature
252 HP, 220 Def, 36 Spe
~ Leech Seed
~ Heal Bell/Protect/Baton Pass
~ Grass Knot
~ Perish Song

Umm what? This is the only weird set. You don't have ANY trapping move. You need Spider Web or Mean Look. You don't have any. So idk how you trap perish them. If you're going to try this at least run Yawn or something so you pretty much get the same thing. People wont stay in for a Perish Song and neither for hte Yawn.

Dragonite @ Leftovers
Impish Nature
224 HP, 84 Atk, 200 Spe
~ Dragon Dance
~ Roost
~ Outrage
~ Earthquake

Not bad but wouldn't Adamant be better?

The last two are late-game sweepers. They will take the floor when everyone's been wiped/weakened by Blissey or Celebi.

Umm yeah standard Empoleon set.

Lucario @ Life Orb
Adamant Nature

Good set. If you get 2 SD's up your opponent is pretty much swept. But watch out for Gyarados and Zapdos, they can wall you for days if their bulky. So sometimes Stone Edge isn't a bad thing.

Please tell me what you guys think of this team, whether it's viable for play or not, and please, suggest improvements, if any.

I left my comments in bold.

what .ιиsσмиιαc. said, I see a perish song, I attack your celebi a bit, and right before the end, whoops, I switch out.

Well, if anything it forces switches, which is a primary thing a stall team is aiming to do. However, without Toxic Spikes or Spikes, this team is simply straddling the line between full out offensive, and somewhat defensive. In order to make the Celebi more useful, I would recommend U-Turn to escape Perish Song should they remain in, and a solid Toxic Spiker/Spiker to add in the residual damage that is characteristic of essentially all successful stall teams.
