Team win (yes, crappy name, i know)

I was peicing together a random team that made use of scarf latias (that thing is Uber!) and some other pokemon, and it turned out to be a pretty good team. Although i do do have 2 major weaknesses, ghost and dark. Well, here it is (oh and btw, there are 3 pokemon with levitate ability, that's where the name comes from):




Mamoswine@Focus Sash

Nature: Adamant
Ability: Snow Cloak
Ev's: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe

Moveset:

Endeavor
Earthquake
Stealth Rock
Ice Shard

This is an amazing lead if you can predict well, and you know the opponent's speed. If you know they are faster, endeavor and ice shard finishes them off. If you are faster, you can set up stealth rock on your 1st turn. earthquake is there for lead heatrans and lead gross's.

Jirachi@Expert Belt
Nature: Naive
Ability: Serene Grace
Ev's: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Moveset:

Iron Head
Fire Punch
Thunder Bolt
Grass Knot

Rachi resists all of Latias's weakness's, and can be a great lure-in to any threat like: Gyrados, Scizor,Swampert, ect... Ice punch is not here because of Latias, as she outspeeds everything in the game (that's not already boosted or scarfed)

Latias@Choice Scarf

Nature: Modest
Ability: Levitate
Ev's: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

Moveset:

Draco-Meteor
Surf
Dragon Pulse
Trick

This is a beast set. Outspees a +1 dd Salamence and KO's with Draco Meteor. Surf is for heatrans when i predict, or any steel type that i know that i can resist. This is also weak to Dark/Ghost type moves/pokemon.

Infernape@Choice Band

Nature: Jolly
Ability: Blaze
Ev's: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe

Moveset:

Close Combat
Flare Blitz
Stone Edge
U-Turn

I had problems takeing down special walls after lucario died, so i have this guy as a back up. With a little prediction this guy can be deadly. He can destroy blissys (which was my main purpose of having this guy), and, he can OHKO almost any pokemon in the game. The only downside is that if i close combat on a ghost type, they get a free switch in, and since i have a frail team, they are going to die.

Rotom-W@Choie Specs

Nature: Timid
Ability; Levitate
Ev's: 48 HP / 252 Sp. Atk / 208 Spe

Moveset:

Thunder Bolt
Hydro Pump
Shadow Ball
Trick

Choice Specs Rotom-W. WIth its big movepool, comes massive coverage. You may say i'm walled by steels, but thunder bolt hits them hard, and i'm pulky enough to take a hit or two

Lucario@Life Orb

Nature: Adamant
Ability: Inner Focus
Ev's: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe

Moveset:

Swords Dance
Crunch
Close Combat
Extreme Speed

This is probably the most important team member. It can KO any ghost/dark type(exept for dusknoir) with either crunch or Dark Pulse. I don't really know what else ot say, other than it is a LO sweeper.


Because i'm so nice, i'll give you guys the threat list i came up with while testing my team!

Tyranitar: This thing almost always carries either pusuit or crunch, making my life miserable. Latias can't OHKO it with Surf, and Parygon-Z is too frail to hit it if it gets up a DD while i switch in to him. The only way i'm usually able to stop him is with cress, and have her toxic stall it, then switch into luke.

Gengar: Sometimes a threat if i lose the speed tie with my latias and it is scarfed modest too, but other than that, i can usually guess that it will use shadow ball on my pokemon. If it is LO, then we have a problem.I havn't tested ou what a draco-meteor does too it, but i hope i OHKOs it, cuz latias is the only thing fast enough to kill it.

Weavile:The only time this thing has been a problem for me is when it is a swords dance sweeper. It is faster than anything besides my latias, and it has a move that could take out every one of my team members. When i send out latias, and it has one swords dance up, t can kill me with ice shard. If i send in Luke, it can survive 1 extremespeed and KO me with Brick Break. And all of my other pokemon are weak to Night Slash. The only thing that could probably wall it is cress, but i have never gotten the opportunity to try.

Well, there you go! That's team Levitate! Thanks in advance for all of you who help out my team!

It's Team Levitate not Team Win. I don't really think that the aforementioned "problems" really are anymore since Weavile and Tyranitar are covered by Jirachi. Scarf Gengar is a problem, admittedly, but it is quite rare.

i don't think you want that many speed EV's on an endeavor mamoswine.... you just need to know your opponent, if it's something that has to set up, go for stealth rock then endeavor and ice shard. if it just attacks straight off, you might want to start off with endeavor. also, wise glasses on porygon and body slam over thunderbolt on jirachi.

No Zach. TBolt is needed to defeat Gyarados. You may be a decent battler, but you do suck at rating teams....more so than me.

Forgot to add, i'm running standard CB infernape on my team to kill those pesky blissys after luke dies.

1. Latios is uber, so i can't use it.
2. The only way your flygon could outspeed me is if it had +speed nature, and was scarfed. Flygon has a base 100 speed, while latias has a base 110 speed.
3. The point of the scarf is so i don't get OHKO'd by any physical dragon while i'm trying to set up calm mind.

Ok, hopefully you can update soon. I wanna have some fun with the new version!

Updated.

There's other things on his team that can beat a gyarados...

....The only thing he has is Scarf Latias and a Draco Meteor will not OHKO more bulky variants of Gyarados.

From what i'v seen, gyrados's usually come in on my rachi, not on my rotom, so i can surprise them with an unexpected t-bolt while they DD up.
