OK, so, um, uh, let's just get into the team!!


politoed
Lord-Frog(Politoed)@Chesto Berry
EV's: 252 Sp. Atk,252 Sp. Def, 4 HP
Trait: Water Absorb
Calm Nature (+Sp. Def, -Atk)

-Surf/Scald
-Ice Beam
-Psychic
-Rest

A lot of people use Drizzle Politoed, but this isn't a rain team. He's a special tank. He kills with STAB, Psychic kills Fighting-types if I need it, and he can heal with Rest,with the Chesto Berry.


donphan
NotDolphin(Donphan)@???
EV's: 252 Atk, 252 Def,4 HP
Trait:Sturdy
Relaxed Nature (+Def,-Spd)

-Earthquake
-Rapid Spin
-Stone Edge
-Fire Fang

As I said, a lot of people use Drizzle Politoed, so it has to be their lead. So opponents will choose Water counters, like Electrics. So Donphan can effectively counter those Elecs. Grass-types will die to Fire Fang. I have a better switch, though.


magnezone
Ironstorm(Magnezone)@Zap Plate
EV's: 252 Def, 252 Sp. Atk, 4 HP
Trait:Sturdy
Sassy Nature (+Sp.Def,- Spd)

-Lock On
-Zap Cannon
-Flash Cannon
-Magnet Rise

Zap Cannon, 252 Special Attack EV's, and Zap Plate packs a punch, but has low accuracy. That's why I have Lock On. Flash Cannon is Steel STAB, Magnet Rise gives Ground immunity. This guy rocks defensively, and destroys offensively.


gengar

King Boo(Gengar)@Gengarite
EV's: 252 Sp. Atk, 232 Sp. Def, 24 Spd
Trait: Levitate/Shadow Tag
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

-Shadow Ball
-Hypnosis
-Nightmare
-Dream Eater

Shadow Ball is STAB and for stuff with Insomnia.Without Sleep, Nightmare and Dream Eater do nothing. But even so, this is an awesome Special Sweeper Tank, with good Speed,Special Defense and Special Attack. It's like a Ferrari with laser cannons.

If Mega Evolutions end up being banned, which is very possible, I might use Leftovers or Life Orb on this thing.


reuniclus

Genius(Reuniclus)@???
EV's: 252 Sp. Def, 252 Sp. Atk, 4 HP
Trait:Overcoat
Modest Nature

-Psychic
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast
-Calm Mind

A Calm Mind Special Tank. Not too much to say here, other than that.


volcarona

Lord Blaze(Volcarona)@???
EV's 252 Spd, 128 Sp. Atk, 128 Sp. Def
Trait:Flame Body
Timid Nature

-Fiery Dance
-Bug Buzz
-Hurricane
-Quiver Dance

Oh, man. Remember that better switch-in I mentioned earlier? Yeah, this is it. He is the backbone of my team. Reuniclus relies on him for Bug and Dark coverage. Gengar relies on him for Dark and Psychic. Donphan relies on him for Ice and Grass. And Politoed relies on him for Grass. Only Magnezone doesn't need him for anything. With Quiver Dance, 128 Sp. Atk EV's, a base Sp. Atk stat of 135, and Fiery Dance, with 120 power after STAB, boosting my Special Attack every time I use it, this is my ultimate Special Sweeper Tank.


So what do you think? I have considered putting Espeon or Alakazam in place of Reuniclus, Jolteon in place of Magnezone, Vaporeon in place of Politoed, or Hippowdon in place of Donphan. I say it has great synergy because with STAB alone I cover all my weaknesses.Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

P.S. I hate choicing.I also definitely need to keep a Spinner, because Volcarona is quad weak to Rock.

although it does weaken fiery dance...
politoed sucks without drizzle
ok then, if I end up not doing a rain team Ill probably use Vaporeon
You have alright synergy, i'll give you that. But 2 prominent OU threats, Scizor & Terrakion, completely step all over your team when paired up. I suggest running a Choice  Scarf on Gengar (If Mega Stones do in fact get banned), and changing Magnezone's ability to Magnet Pull, to prevent Scizor from fleeing after it cant damage you with its weak Bullet Punches. Also, Substitute > Magnet Rise.  If all else fails, just add a Priority Lucario.
Ah. I see. Biggest question: Politoed or Vaporeon?
