I saw a lot of Smeargles going around in OU on day, so I decided to toss up this team. Only a 1/2 hour's worth of work, but decent. 7/10 battles. Short on time, so no sprites yet.
Honestly? Smeargle isn't that hard to set up with, and pass. I mean, unless you have bad prediction, you can cripple a pokemon, and pass a shell smash off to cloyster or salamence. Standard B-Passer and the core.
Smeargle (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Own Tempo
EVs: 80 HP / 96 Def / 252 SDef / 80 SAtk
Timid Nature
- Spore
- Shell Smash
- Baton Pass
- Ingrain
Salamence. Hasn't seen too much use yet, mostly because of Cloyster always being a better choice. Very vulnerable to revenge killers - Ice Shard Weavile mostly. MixMence.
Salamence (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Moxie
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 SAtk
Naive Nature
- Outrage
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
A Calm Mind passer just didn't work out with no special attackers. So I went with the standard set. I could sub out Salamence for a special attacker, and go back to Calm Mind + Baton Pass.
Espeon (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Calm Mind
- Stored Power
- Substitute
Sigh. Epic sweeps. Just covers everything common in OU, except for Jirachi and a couple other Steel types. Those come in, I'm dead. Suggestions?
Cloyster @ White Herb
Trait: Skill Link
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast
- Shell Smash
- Ice Shard
Setter. Used this set a lot, no vulnerabilities.
Ferrothorn (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Power Whip
- Leech Seed
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Wave
Because of Cloyster, I need a spinner. Starmie just fills that role, and can cover most spin blockers. Again, standard set.
Starmie @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 32 Def / 4 SAtk / 224 Spd
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Recover
- Rapid Spin
- Scald
- Psyshock
Not much change from normal sets, but the threats I need some help with.
