[Gen 5] Monotype - Fighting Offense

Question

Popeyes (Blaziken) (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Protect
- Hone Claws
- Blaze Kick
- Sky Uppercut

I'm going lead sweeper with this guy. I lead off with Protect to get my Speed up, then use Hone Claws to help out my moves and Blaze Kick and Sky Uppercut's accuracy. (I get very unlucky when it comes to accuracy) Blaze Kick and Sky Uppercut are STAB.

red (Throh) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Bulk Up
- Brick Break
- Stone Edge
- Payback

My tank. Bulk Up is to get my Attack and Defense up. Brick Break is STAB, Stone Edge and Payback are coverage. With Mold Breaker, he can also rip through Sturdy Pokemon.

King (Lucario) (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Steadfast
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Aura Sphere
- Nasty Plot
- Dark Pulse
- Vacuum Wave

We've all seen this Lucario millions of times.

oo aa (Infernape) (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Taunt
- Stealth Rock
- Flamethrower
- Vacuum Wave

Taunter and Rocker depending on the situation. Can sweep if the time is right.

hmph (Terrakion) @ Fighting Gem
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 128 Def / 128 SpD
Jolly Nature
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Close Combat
- X-Scissor

A tank and a sweeper. Jolly Nature is to help his Speed out a little, while the evenly split defenses (248 at both defenses respectively) help with bulk. Stone Edge is STAB, Earthquake is death, Close Combat is STAB, X-Scissor is coverage.

Hariy-ama (Hariyama) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Bulk Up
- Toxic
- Protect
- Bullet Punch

Staller. Bulk Up is to get my Defense up. Toxic is Toxic, Protect is Toxic's weapon, and Bullet Punch is priority in case of Taunt. I used Bullet Punch because it has decent power and it can hit any type.

Answer 1

Blaziken: Good, but maybe replace one move (except Hone Claws) for Baton Pass so you can pass on the boosted stats to Terrakion, Infernape, or maybe Throh. YOu don't have to, this set works too.

Throh: Replace Brick Break with REvenge for double damage.

Lucario: Replace Vaccum Wave with ExtremeSpeed for more power and ultimate priority.

Infernape: He works better physical. Give him 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP Evs, and have him hold the Fight/Fire Gem. Give him Thunder/Ice punch, Flare Blitz, Close Combat, and Acrobatics. This way he can also recieve stats from Popeyes.

Replace the item with Choice Band/Muscle Band for power (there's no point in a gem without Acrobatics or Unburden)

Hariyama: No suggestions.

Comments

Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) on Lucario. Extremespeed will lose power.

If I give Lucario extremespeed I 'll have to screw up his EVs and defenses, Vacuum wave has the same power as extremespeed and v-wave provides STAB. Blazekin is not a baton passer because as a sweeper he has the chance of providing a dominant force over the foe tat only priority and weather can kill. infernape hs a equal sp.atk to his sp.atk

---

Extreme Speed has 80 power and +2 priority, while Vacuum Wave has 40 and + 1 priority.

---

But ExtremeSpeed will lose power because of the Timid Nature. Also, Vacuum Wave gains STAB.

---

Yeah, he needs Vacuum Wave, I was just correcting what he said,
" Vacuum wave has the same power as extremespeed " - TY

k thanks
