RMT, it's brand new and edited!

Alrighty, here's a team a threw together for a tourney that works surprisingly well, I've found, from some random battles on Shoddy.

Bronzong @ Lefties
Sassy
Levitate
252 HP / 86 Atk / 80 Def / 92 SpD
-SR
-EQ
-Gyro Ball
-Hypnosis

It works fantastically as a lead, few unboosted attacks can do a lot of damage, fast things that don't resist gyro ball don't enjoy it, Hypnosis to screw up whatever the opponent does immediately and give me a free turn to switch off or set up SR. Also, EQ to deal with unsuspecting Magnezones.

Mixmence @ LO
Mild
Intimidate
84 Atk / 216 SpA / 208 Spe
-Draco Meteor
-Flamethrower
-EQ
-Roost/Outrage

Mixmence for breaking and sweeping, I'm going with EQ over Brick Break since flamethrower covers opposing Bronzong and Skarm. Of course, I'm open to opinions on this, but from what I've seen, this set is pretty devastating.

Empoleon @ Petaya Berry
Modest
Torrent
12 HP / 12 Def / 252 SpA / 232 Spe
-Substitute
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Agility

Agility Subpetaya Empoleon, I can honestly say I love this set. Once you get it set up, it's incredibly destructive to anything that's not a bulky water. Preferably used as a late-game sweeper or once you know there's nothing to ruin its sweep.

Machamp @ Lefties
Adamant
No Guard
252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
-rest
-sleep talk
-dynamic punch
-Ice Punch

Machamp's STAB Dynamic Punch is never fun to take, and Ice Punch for Gliscor and Dragons (and the poor unsuspecting Breloom XD). It's bulk prevents it from being killed easily and it does massive damage without fail, plus confusion is always a nice thing to have backing you up.


Flygon @ Choice Scarf
Jolly
Levitate
252 Atk/ 252 Spd/ 4 HP
-EQ
-Outrage
-U-turn
-Fire Punch

I use this set regularly to great success, it's quite the effective revenge killer and will typically outspeed +1 Speed Mence since they usually run attack boosting natures.

Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Adamant
Sand Stream
164 HP / 252 Atk / 92 Spe
-Stone Edge
-Crunch
-Pursuit
-Aqua Tail

And BandTar, to deal with those pesky things that just don't want to stay down, like ZapBliss and unboosted Togekiss. Massive damage and solid synergy with a few of the other members of my team.

Thanks in advance,
RAcast

Re: Okay, here's an RMT

Definitely go for the Flygon. And how's this for a Gallade set?

Calm / Leftovers / Steadfast
- Drain Punch
- Psycho Cut
- Ice Punch
- Bulk Up
80 HP, 200 Attack, 100 Defense, 130 Sp. Defense

Not experienced at making Bulk Up sets, but I think this is a good idea.

Re: Okay, here's an RMT

Sounds interesting... But hey, I'll have to fiddle with it a bit (thank god for shoddy) XD. Like I said, I've never used gallade, so I'm not sure how practically durable it is..

Why is this Gallade Calm? It should be Careful.

Re: Okay, here's an RMT

Well, I was thinking on my feet, and I thought Calm was the +SpD -SpA nature.

You might want to teach bronzong psychic, or empoleon flash cannon, or salamence aerial ace.

What could POSSIBLY convince me to do ANY of those things? That Bronzong set is physically based, putting Psychic on would be immensely wasteful (and it wouldn't help at all against Steels, that's what EQ is for, particularly for unexpecting Magnezone).

For Empoleon, that's inferior too. It's STILL walled by Waters, and Ice is a FAR superior attacking type to Steel.

...Did you seriously suggest AA for Salamence? Why is my question. EQ STILL has a higher base power, even with the STAB AA gets. Not to mention the fact that Ground is a better attacking type (by a LOT) than Flying. EQ is the most common attack in the metagame for a reason!

I'm pretty set on this, but any further concerns would be appreciated.
