SoulSilver: team touchdown

[NoirTHECHA]

ok so i havent made a new team in a while and i have finnaly done one on my soulsilver. i just tested it on shoddy and it won 6 of 6 battles.

first up:

Machamp @ lum berry
nature: admant
ivs: 21 spe
evs: 252/hp 160/atk 96/spe
-dynamicpunch
-encore
-substititue
-payback
this here is my anit lead to punish those that will obviously set up stealth rock, spikes, toxic spikes, boost stats or what have you. sub is for subing up on the switch to dynamic punch and payback safely.

second:

Bronzong @ leftovers
nature: sassy
evs: 252/hp 86/atk 92/spd
-explosion
-stealth rock
-gyro ball
-earthquake
pretty standard wall bronzong that sets up sr eqs when appropriate and explodes to take out unwanted threats.

third:

Salamence @ life orb
nature: naive
evs: 252/spe 16/atk 240/spa
-flamethrower
-draco meteor
-?
-earthquake
mixed-mence that can be a good threat to a team that isnt expecting it, if used right i could sweep through a team easily.

fourth:

keckleon @ leftover
nature: careful
evs: 252/spd 240/hp 16/atk
-recover
-sucker punch
-thunder wave
-substitute?
this is my special wall, with its great spd and now a way to replinish its hp easily it can stay in the game for a long time and spread around thunder waves and such

fifth:

sceptile @ choice scarf
nature: timid or modest
evs: 252/ spe 252 spa 4/hp
-leaf storm
-focus blast
-dragon pulse
-outrage?
here sceptile is just kind of a revenge killer/ special attacker, i dont know what to put there instead of outrage so i need help there, and teh nature i cant decide on so much help here

sixth:

heatran @ leftover
nature: modest
evs: 252/spa 252/spe 4/hp
-fire blast/lava plume
-substitute
-earth power
-crunch/toxic
this is my subtran that switches in on oppenent that i know will switch which is when i sub and use according attack for the counter that just came in. with the cruch i like the coverage i can get on starmie that will switch in on occasion and do fair damage to it, but toxic helps inflict some reaccuring status.

so there is my team in a nutshell any help is much appriciated thanks guys!! :7up:

Pretty good, but I'm noticing some holes. First, lower Machamps speed to outrun the next lowest bs since your not running 31 spe IVs. I'd give Mence Outrage in the last slot for the ability to do a late game sweep. Heatran should have Fire Blast. The team is mainly offensive so I would suggest a Timid nature with Life Orb and HP Grass(if possible) in the last slot, otherwise Explosion witha Naive nature. I'd say going with even a lead set could work, with leftovers instead of shuca berry, which would let you replace zong with an attacker. A Life Orb three atacks Latias would be pretty solid, giving you a nice way to handle Infernape among others.

Latias@Life Orb
Timid
4 HP/ 252 SAtk/ 252 Spe
-Dragon Pulse
-Surf
-Thunderbolt
-Recover

I don't suggest HP Fire since you have Heatran and the extra speed helps. Also gives you a nice check to Mence.

Since you lost a steel type, I would go Jirachi over Sceptile as a scarfer. Gives you a nice Trick user and more effective revenge killer overall. Jirachi's typing makes it much easier to switch-in as well.

Jirachi@Choice Scarf
Naive/ Jolly
4 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spe
-Iron Head
-Ice Punch
-Thunderbolt/Thunder Punch
-Trick

Simple stuff. The reason I personally go Naive with Thunderbolt is because your only target is really Gyarados, who gets OHKOed anyways. T-bolt lets you deal some extra damage to Skarmory which is always nice, your choice though. Go with a + Speed nature to outrun +1 positive speed nature Mence.

Yeah, I'm a little tired now. I'll get back to it later. I really think Keckleon should be replaced though. Gl

So I should take out zong? And replace it with latias? Sorry I got confused by that xD i could try to get a new heatran and I might be able to get a jirachi that isn't bold, thanks or te suggestions it really help

 

[mc2094]

Basically zong for Lati and jirachi for sceptile due to typing. You could then use standard lead heatran and use sub machamp due to breeding problems. Idk if payback is an egg move though. Rotom-A aren't used so no biggie I guess. Something like Dynamic Punch-Sub-Stone Edge-EQuake? will work. Gl

 

[NoirTHECHA]

Alrighty thanks, and ya with the machamp payback is tm and I kinda like it cause it has chance of OHKO on starmie and I think azelf if I have SR up and I have taken like 25% damage, and thanks again, now just to try and find a naive or jolly jirachi and timid laitas -.-this will be fun?

Since no one else posted I guess I'll give you some ideas for Keckleon's slot. I think a solid bulky water would be pretty nice here. I would go with something on the offensive side to keep the momentum going. Suicune and Gyarados both seem like interesting choices. IMO though, a Life Orb Starmie might work well. You have plenty of guys that bait Scizor and it should be easy taking him out. Rapid Spin should help a lot since you will be switching often, also gives Mence more breathing room.

Starmie@Life Orb
Timid
4 HP/ 252 SAtk/ 252 Spe
-Hydro Pump/ Surf
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Rapid Spin

I suppose you can use Surf since Rotom-A aren't used. The extra accuracy could prove useful. You do lose quite a bit of power though, 135 damage instead of 180. Gl with breeding

sweet i have a starmie just like that too, that exact moveset and stuff, ill need to get it from platinum, thanks for the suggestions, im going to go with the specs heatran i think, but i might try and run a shucalead with modest nature just to see how well it works. now just to try and get some battles to test this out.
