Comments

typo 252 Atk on Scizor... touch screens *shakes head and tsks in a dis heartened manner*

---

Wouldn't bother with Speed if your going with a Bullet Puncher.

---

@RyuenjinZ3R0: Instead of commenting, why do you not fix the mistake??

---

Jolteon never ever gets used. ever. And a powerful water type would absolutely wreck this team.

---

@DA: on my phone, and if you type past the box to where it scrolls down and then go back up, its impossible to scroll down, there's no arrows just the stupid touch screen. that's why.

@CZ: He's Banded and i use U-Turn more often than Bullet Punch so the Spd is still helpful.

@Ben: I just had 2 Rain Teams with Jolteon kill my cousin. that's why i did that. and i do need a water counter, but Empoleon is all that comes to mind....

---

Ya know, there are plenty of Pokemon that operate well in sand that aren't a Rock/Ground/Steel types. Try Vaporeon maybe?

---

For a water counter:

Gastrodon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Storm Drain
EVs: 252 HP / 112 Def / 144 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Scald/ Surf
- Earth Power/ Ice Beam
- Stockpile
- Recover

Not only is he immune to Water with this ability, but it raises his SpAtk one stage for every hit. Scald has a nice burn effect to help with Physical sweepers or Surf for Power, so your choice of STAB. Earth Power is also STAB with a chance to lower SpDef one stage, or you can use Ice Beam for Coverage. Stockpile is to bulk him up. Recover + Lefties is awesome.

He has one weakness, Grass, Which is checked by Heatran & Scizor and is immune to Sandstorm by type.

---

@Ben: i know, i need to research a list of Pokemon that are good in Sand like Stoutland with Sand Rush. Rain teams are probably the easiest to build i have noticed.

@DA: Gastro is pretty beast....i also thought about Unaware Quagsire.

---

But Unaware Quagsire does not resist Water, unless you give it Water Absorb, which you should not. Water can still do some damage.

---

If I was a type synergy freak, I'd be raging right now lolz

---

i think i fixed this problem in my New and Improved version :)
