Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Just writing ideas here for a casual battle team, comment if you've got any ideas for me. :3 I want mostly UU/BLs, so avoid OU/Ubers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Clefable with Magic Guard ability
Banette holding Choice Band
Golduck being awesome

Clefable's Magic Guard makes it immune to any indirect damage, aside from move recoil and Struggle recoil. Its stats aren't fantastic, but it can get Belly Drum, Amnesia, Cosmic Power... Gets Calm Mind via TM as well. Smogon absolutely LOVES Clefable, and it is awesome indeed. I want to think of an original set for Clefable, though.

Banette has Sucker Punch, and CB Sucker Punch with base 115 Attack really hurts. x3 Shadow Sneak is also cool, working under CB, since Banette is slow. =( It could benefit from as Choice Scarf, though. It has a better special movepool, though. I may not use it. xP

I used a Wide Lens Golduck through Diamond, which was fun, but it didn't specialize in anything. I want one with Hypnosis, probably a +Spd nature too. It learns Focus Punch. Hmmm...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also pondering a Fire team with some Double battle potential.

Camerupt @Choice Scarf
Solid Rock / Modest
-Eruption
-Lava Plume
-Earth Power
-SolarBeam

Fire type Wailord/Kyogre, replacing Water Spout with Eruption. SC might provide surprise speed. :3 Full power Eruption HURTS.

Flareon @Muscle Band
Flash Fire / +Atk, - Def nature
-Flamethrower
-Return / Quick Attack
-Iron Tail
-Curse / Tickle

Pondering Typhlosion for this team too, possibly replacing the Eruption tactic. Typh's OU. --.--;

Magmar is nice, having higher base Speed than Magmortar and learns Lava Plume, which boosts Fire attacks of Flash Fire pokemon. I'll probably use it to run Sunny Day support, something like this.

Magmar @ Wide Lens
Flame Body / + Spd nature
-Lava Plume
-Sunny Day
-Focus Blast
-Psychic / Toxic

He has good coverage and not too many worries about opponents, since he'll be teamed up with something too. Lava Plume activates Flash Fire and hits both opponents, barring Protect/Detect. Sunny Day sets up sunlight, boosting Fire attacks, Solarbeam and weakening Water attacks. Focus Blast rarely misses with Wide Lens, and Psychic is there for type coverage, which the alternative is Toxic. If an attacker isn't Burned attacking Magmar, it gets Toxic in the face. =)

Rapidash is a good partner for Magmar, thanks to nice physical sweeper stats.

Rapidash @Life Orb
Flash Fire / Naughty nature
-Flare Blitz / Flamethrower
-Return / Double Kick
-Megahorn
-Bounce

Flare Blitz, Megahorn, and Bounce cover everything except Aerodactyl, Heatran, and Magcargo. Life Orb Flare Blitz really hurts both the opponent and Rapidash, which is why Flamethrower is there as an alternative. Muscle Band can be used in place of Life Orb, less of a boost, but it doesn't take away 10% health each attack. Probably good with Wish support, which I make turn Flareon into.

Flareon @Leftovers
Flash Fire / +SpDef nature
-Wish
-Curse / Tickle / Charm
-Quick Attack
-Overheat

Wish is staple for this set, and increasing Flareon's tankish ability is needed. Charm is there to make physical hits hurt less, since special hits won't do too much thanks to Flareon's awesome Special Defense. Tickle gives less benefit, but it could make Quick Attack hurt more. Curse is nice, lowering Flareon's Speed to raise Attack and Defense. After a few of those, Quick Attacks will be dealing lots of damage. Overheat is there for SURPRISE powerful special attack, probably on something that switches to a physical tank predicting a physical attack.

What I've got so far. :3

Additional ideas:
I am just crazy enough to try and use Medicham's ability to learn both Calm Mind and Bulk Up. I already have a set for it too...

Medicham@LifeOrb
Timid / Pure Power
-Calm Mind
-Bulk Up
-Shadow Ball
-High Jump Kick

Ghost / Fighting hits everything for at least neutral damage. It needs the speed to even think of setting up to sweep, and I took away from Attack since Pure Power boosts it and it gets STAB from its only physical attack.

I still need to think of an EV spread. < .<
