Politoed (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Protect
- Scald
- Encore
- Toxic
If you dont know why politoed is on this team then you belong in a mental hospital. Drizzle sets rain (Surprise!), and 252 HP and 252 Def give him consderable physical bulk, allowing him to retain ove half HP when hit by things as powerfl as terrakion's close combat. Protect is for stalling, while Scald gets a nice rain boost, while also being my STAB. Encore is just freaking annoying, and allows Gliscor/Gyarados/Scizor to set up. Toxic is for eating away at enemies HP and works quite nicely in conjunction with Protect and Encore.
Thundurus (Thundurus-T) (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Volt Switch
- Thunder
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Focus Blast
The first time I saw this Pokemon I made a mental note to use it, and with it's insane base 145 special attack and acceptable base 101 speed, he just screams to be used with specs. I'm not sure if I should go with Modest or Timid nature. Volt Absorb allows him to switch in on electric moves directed at Gyarados and Politoed. Volt Switch s STAB and allows him to revenge kill like a boss, and Thunder is also STAB, never missing in the rain, as well as hitting ridiculous hard. HP hits ground type switch-ins as well as giving BoltBeam coverage.
Focus Blast covers all of his weaknesses and hits rather hard.
Gliscor (M) @ Flying Gem
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Swords Dance
- Acrobatics
- Earthquake
I've tried physically defensive Gliscor and it doesn't work for me, but I've found that Acrobatics Gliscor does work for me, as well as being fairly upredicted. Poison Heal allows him to switch in on Toxic and nab some recovery, and Jolly nature gives him a degree of speed, allowing him to outspeed sower enemies. Substitute is used upon switching in, allowing him to set up a swords dance and avoid status. Swords Dance is for boostng attack, and Acrobatics + Flying Gem hits incredibly hard, Earthquake also hits really hard and is STAB.
Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Moxie
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
Gyarados has saved this teams hind end on more than one occasion, being the last conscious Pokemon on my team and coming back to sweep the enemies entire team. Twice. Dragon Dance is for boosting, and I don't think Gyarados culd have a better boosting move. Waterfall is STAB and hits insanely hard in the rain, especially after a Dragon Dance and a Moxie boost or two. Earthquake and Stone Edge provide Edgequake coverage.
Porygon2 @ Eviolite
Trait: Download
EVs: 252 HP / 40 Def / 216 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Tri Attack
- Thunder
- Ice Beam
- Recover
I just love this guy, he has a good ability, decent fensive capabilities, and is very bulky w/Eviolite. Download goves him a nice spatk boost more often than not, and Eviolite makes him very solid defensively. Thuner never misses in the rain, and gets BoltBeam coverage with Ice Beam. Tri Attack is STAB, and Recover is for doing as the name suggests; recovering.
Scizor (F) @ Flying Gem
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Bug Bite
- Acrobatics
This is my tried and true Scizor set, having a nice mixtue of bulk and offense. Adamant gives him a nice attack boost, 252 HP lets him take a hit, and 252 atk lets him dish a hit to. Swords Dance is rather obvious, Bullet Punch is STAB and priority, hitting really hard with Technician boost. Bug Bite is STAB, also nabbing a Technican boost. Acrobatics + Flying Gem is additional coveage, and hits just about anything.
