Aboose Moose: Variation #1, OU Balanced Offensive (sand)

Question

Heeeeeyyyyyyyyuuuuuupp!!

Hey there my dearies, and welcome to my First RMT for a while. I've just recently got back into competitive battling lately, and wanted a new team to start training with. My sis told me recently (among others) I am VERY annoying. That was my inspiration. I LOVE making people rage quit. I needed a troll team. I wanted to make a few for every tier, and after a few unsuccessful attempts for OU, I came up with this.

Well actually what happened was I came up for an idea for the first 4 pokemon and got an idea for the sets. But then Flare came along, and asked me to build a team with him. I agreed, seizing my opportunity. I told him about my original idea, he liked it. So we discussed some stuff and we came up with the whole team. I liked it a lot. I immediately went of to showdown for some testing, where first flare used it against my earlier attempt, and won 5-0. I then took it myself onto main where after some more testing, I got 1700+ on the ladder, which isn't bad from me considering I am the worst ladder in the history of forever. I went to flare the next day to share some insight...where he said he hated the team. I didn't really understand why after my success and great enjoyment, but he dropped out, and we started making a different team (which will be available soon)

With that, onto the team!!

Sweet synergy all round!

The team seems to be based mainly on attack and Defense, with little regard for speed. I have had problems with out speeds before, so that's something to work on.

Now i hate them team building process things, only cos I have no idea why or when I put things in a team. So I just..make up stuff. So I'll skip the process and show you the full team and descriptions k?

Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 40 HP / 100 Atk / 200 Def / 168
SAtk Sassy Nature
- Fire Blast
- Ice Beam
- Pursuit
- Stealth Rock

Tyran-i-tank is here! Sexy dark types <3. This as you can obviously see, is SpDef Tyranitar. It's a full on beast tank of a pokemon to go with on a team like this. Let me talk you through this set. Basically, I went from past experience and saw this as Baws to use. The EV spread (flare made that) is built to take very hard physical and thanks to the sandstorm boost, very hard special hits. This means for anything that isn't carrying a super effective move is going to find it a hard one to break past. This just adds to the trollment that I looked for in this team. I would add in some calcs, but Lazy Chance breaker FTW and all that. If someone could add some in that'll be grand, but it's not necessary :3. For the moves, I went with a special spread here too. Fire blast stops particularly Ferrothorn and Scizor from setting up the field or from dangerous sweeps, if sometimes a bit risky. But it has saved me more times than it has ended me. Ice Beam stops the likes of Gliscor and Garchomp from decimating me with earthquake, as well as providing a much easier to use way of being rid of frailer Grass types. These two provide good coverage for Tyran. Pursuit is for the art of trapping in Psychic types that rather not take they're luck with focus blast, and just for giving the opponent a general thing to think about when switching out. It's good to play on their nerves and force stress levels through the roof. The more things they have to worry about the more likely they will make the wrong move. Stealth Rocks provides a good way of dealing with Flying types and Volcrona, both of which oi don't like going against this team should Rotom be gone.

(^ that creeps me out o.O)

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 88 HP / 248 Atk / 4 Def /> 168 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Substitute
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Bounce

B-b-b-b-b-b-b-...Bounce!!

Gyara has come to eat you..I mean meet. No. I was right the first time. This set first came to my attention from the lovely Leboss. He used it to troll my entire team once. I never forgot the merciless, the distilled aggression, the ferocious brutality..and I longed to have it...and now. my time has come! Seriously you have no idea how many rage quits this things causes. It provides on its own, a good percentage of the sweeps I had against challengers. I'm probably going to add in more speed into the equation here, as even with a boost it's gonna be outsped more than I would of hoped. I chose intimidate over Moxie because not only does it increase Gyaras survivibility, but it also forces switches gainst physical sweepers if I can time everything perfectly. This gives me a chance to set up a sub, which prevents para, burn and toxic from ruining all my fun! Behind this safety net I set up as many dances as my opponent will allow. The more the merrier. Once I've had enough pratting about, I either hit hard with STAB waterfall right of the mark or as the name suggests, bounces high into the sky and lands with all it's fatty fury! (does anyone else thin that bounce is one of those moves that are affected by the pokemons weight?)

^ truer words were never spoken. Other than the obvious "Leboss did it!" but I didn't think that counted.

Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Iron Head
- Ice Punch
- U-turn
- Trick

The star of the team!(Ik that was awful.I blame trachy (cos I can. Deal with it))

Do i really need to introduce this guy? Like I'm tempted to skip him completely. But I won't.
Scarfrachi is my favorite from of Haxrachi. I needed a scarfer on my team, and seeing how Jirachi pwnd me while I was using another team, I guessed the Evs and took the set. And it rarley fails me. It flinch haxed a heatran from 80% health to death. Unfortunately the server I tried this from didn't support Replays as i found to my dismay as i checked it over to see it. Though at some point I will be adding in some replays of rage quits and hax sweeps. I use Iron head as my main haxer move here, for obvious reasons. Ice Punch does a very large amount of damage to all forms of dragon and Ground type that threatens it with fire or Ground type moves, using the scarf to outspeed and KO. 20% doesn't sound like much but it's actually enough to freeze 2 pokemon in one match (I thought I saved this one but it was on a P-Pad so I lost it ;-;) so it does make a difference. Scarf cripples any walls that rachi can't break through, so trick is on this set to stop Ferrothorn and tentacruel from ruining my day. U-Turn just lets me scout and gtfo of there. All this may not make sense, so let me show you a picture that speaks a thousand words.

This just..fits the the mood entirely.

Why do you only have 3 Pokemon :\

---

you fail doc :3

---

You have a slight lack of dedicated Special Attackers... just pointing that out.

---

PX wtf lol you didn't even ask me if you were gonna post this so soon, I mean, it's only been 3 days since we built it, and with my limited testing time, I've managed to change a lot of the Pokemon to make it balanced. (Yeah I've taken Lib's comment into mind) so now the team is nothing like this. I never even knew you were gonna post this :(

Answer 1

Yeah, continued below as usual :3

Breloom @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 12 HP / 252 Atk / 244 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Spore
- Substitute
- Focus Punch
- Seed Bomb

And they say Hypno let's to send people to sleep!

The Tree hugger/puncher of the forest has come back to troll the good users of showdown yet again. Being the only user of the only 100% accuracy sleeping move gives it an incredible nice in OU, out preforming many pokemon of it's kind. But it's not exactly a slouch anyway. It's very impressive attack coupled with two great abilities in technician and Poison Heal make it an undeniable threat. I chose this set (well actually Flare chose it but whatever) cos I needed to abuse Toxic heal due to sand, and well, I love sub punch anyway for it's mega trolly-ness, being able to avoid status thanks to Toxic orb and hitting mega hard with Focus punch without worry. Seed bomb is there no only for a second stab but to be bale to break through water and ground physical walls. They gave me a lot of trouble. (yeah I'm getting lazy again so I'll shorten these out a bit)

Rotom-Wash @ Choice Specs Trait: Levitate EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252
Spd Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Now I really AM lazy, so this will be brief-ish.

This was our choice speccy of..choice. not only does it provide perfect synergy with sciz, but it give us a full out special attacker and just 1 weakness that was covered very well anyway. It has a good amount of natural bulk, so I could just pour the EVs into the appropriate offensive category. Volt switch works well with the two U-Turns on my team here, while Thunderbolt is my main STAB should I actually stay in. Hydro Miss deals a hell of a lot of damage if it managed to hit occasionally. And Ice was just a filelr to get rid of Dragon and Grass types on the switch.

Scizor (M) @ Lum Berry Trait: Technician EVs: 80 HP / 252 Atk / 176
Def Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Pursuit
- Superpower

This is THE most used Pokemon on 2012 and so far of 2013. It's not hard to see why, even if it is incredibly boring. And over rated. Anyway, it completes the whole Washnician core thingy with rotom. I was going to go band, but I (by "I" I obviously mean flare) decided that Burning an para was no fun, and getting the opponent down to ridiculously low health then them expecting to be able to KO cos they can outspeed and finishing them of with BP was too trolly to pass out on. Pursuit traps psychic types lacking and fire moves, and super power does heavy damage to other Scizor's, Terrakions on the switch and a few others that escape me right now.

Well, this is the actual team, so observe and quake in fear!

Threats:

Rotom-W messes up this me quite a bit. After Loom Low sweeps the bucket I can do very little to bulky sets, especially after they Burn all my physical attackers like sciz and rachi.

Fast fight types, Mienshoa to name one in particular, don't like to do down very easily. They weaken my team before I get the correct opportunity to obliterate them with hax.

Special Dragonite (especially rain variations) tend to dislike being KO'd, and fith it with all their pathetic will. They fall eventually, but not without leaving a dent in several members

Toxicroak loves to KO tyran on the switch, preventing sand from rising and letting Rain pour on my spirit for the remainder of the battle

All forms of Terrakion enjoy beating down on members after their counter (depending on the set, usually scizor) is hung out to dry.

These are my main worries and issues, so anyway to perhaps eliminate them permanently would be very much appreciated.
