So it all started when I was battling on showdown using my sand-stall team which I find relatively successful Blob's prophecy came to pass:
That said stall isn't used for a reason. Its completely outclassed in
the current meta by hyper offense. Its a dying playstyle in all tiers.
Can't wait to see how it ladders.
(That psychic Blob :P)
Anyways as you might have guessed editing my team would be pointless since I set it to be a sand-stall team and was therefore not ready to replace any Pokemon mainly because it was also not really needed. So I grabbed my newest alt (Aeternis) and started building a team. A team with the foundation of my beloved weather, Rain.
How the water drops formed the ocean
I was already set to make a rain team so picking the first member wasn't exactly hard. I chose no one else but the ruler of the seas, Lord of all aquatic life, bringer of pure water, Kyogre. Anyhow I like this guy mainly because it only takes a few boost to enable it to completely drown seas under his divine wrath. I also wanted a bulky attacker for the sole reason of me loving bulk. Seeing as I didn't want to spend and a teamslot on a bulky attacker, I left the role over to the one that keeps pulling my foot to force down the rain
Now that I had my summoner I needed something that could easily destroy opposing Kyogre, Dragons, Lead Darkrai, Mewtwo etc...Soon Zekrom descended from the stormy clouds scorching everything under him with his dreadful lightning. However Palkia soon came racing along and so they competed. Who would be my revenge killer after some serious debates with Kyogre we decided that Zekrom got the spot. After a few test I did realize that Zekrom was a much more reliable and powerful revenge killer as there are only a few Pokemon that can actually take Bolt Strike. In him I found my Lead Darkrai, Mewtwo, Dragon revenge killing counter.
The 2 seemed to be very successful seeing as they not only covered or neutralized ones weaknesses but also formed quite the remarkably scout out for safety duo. However the one attack that Kyogre could neutralized still did that awful amount of damage so I needed something to form a complete resistance to dragon type attacks and besides that my team wasn't exactly laughing with entry hazards so as you might have guessed I added that one Pokemon that could make my dreams reality. An old member from the sand-stall team soon found his home here but just with an adjusted role in spinner, entry hazard layer and physical sponge
Now that I had my physical sponge, I needed a Pokemon that had no issues taking special attacks at all so Blissey to was added and to be honest she tends to be that one Pokemon that keeps the team solid and she makes an excellent wish passer as nearly any Pokemon will get a fully recovered HP once it receives Blissey's innocent wish. Pretty much my supporting Pokemon.
Anyways it is my intention to keep Kyogre alive as long as possible and surprisingly it doesn't seem to take Earthquakes from it's archrival Groudon very well. I was done adding dual types as they only tend to make your team die quicker once a threat comes to the battlefield so I searched a little deeper into the tier and I firstly came to find Arceus-grass. In the beginning it was a solid member on my team but soon I had to replace it seeing as all it's calm mind boost were just blown into oblivion by Groudon which was it's target. So I searched a little further and I found a grass type that was both faster then Darkrai and that wielded an incredible special attack stat. Shaymin-Sky the guardian of the Gracidea flowers and eternal Gratitude started as a test subject on my team. Not only could it KO both Groudon and Kyogre but it could tank a Fire Blast from support Dialga and 2HKO it with Earth Power as well as seriously dent Extreme Killer Arceus with one special Seed Flare, thus making it part of the crew
As you might have guessed there is no Uber team that I had made, have made or will ever make without a special variant of Arceus who's role is bounded with a specific type of team. Anyways before Arceus was added I had the classic ResTalk Giratina on this team to serve as my Spinblocker however it's speed seemed to be rather disappointing as nearly everything in the tier could outpace it and thus making it harder to utilize on a team who's purpose is to work, Fast, Precise and Effective so I replaced it for a faster Spinblocker that could stop the rather rare ExtremeSpectral Killer Arceus. With this Arceus-Ghost had become part of this team.
However with him I need the most help with for I am struggling to find that one moveset that could perfectly fit in to this team with. So please help me with this one. Shaymin and I will be very grateful with any constructive criticism as well :)
So I practically built the team using a Teamcheck that I find quite useful and though this is of more utility to stall teams, it always does help me to doublecheck how well I have conjured the team.
Teamcheck
- Have switch-ins to the major Ubers? Yes.
- Have a special wall? Yes (Blissey).
- Have a physical wall? Yes. (Forretress).
- Have resistances to Dragon(Forretress), Ice(Forretress, Kyogre), Electric(Zekrom), Dark(Forretress), Ghost(Blissey, Forretress), Bug(Arceus-Ghost, Forretress), Fighting(Arceus-Ghost), Ground(Shaymin-Sky), Water(Kyogre, Zekrom, Shaymin-Sky), Fire(Zekrom, Kyogre), Steel(Zerkrom, Forretress, Kyogre), and Rock(All are neutral)? Conclusion: I have enough resistances to the most common offensive types
- Have a spinner? Yes. Forretress
- Have a phazer? Yes. Arceus-Ghost
- Have a weather changer?Yes, Kyogre
- Have a user of Spikes / Stealth Rock? Yes. Forretress
- Have a Sleep Talk user? Team can survive without one
- Have a spinblocker? Yes. Arceus-Ghost
Team shall be explained in detail, hopefully in one answer
