Screw Team at a Glance, I like this better:What does this team do? Simple.
kills something, frequently a weather starter.
Next,
comes in, sets up rain and annoys everything.
Once rain is up,
can live a hit and set up Stealth Rock.
Once Stealth rock and rain are active,
comes in and sets up Tail Glow,
which he passes to
, who goes on to kill things with Hurricane.
If that isn't enough you can always pass Tail Glow to
The TeamI (Victini) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Victory Star
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- V-create
- Final Gambit
- U-turn
- Fusion Bolt
I'll go ahead and explain the naming now,
I Only Wanna Be With You is a song by Samantha Fox, The song was covered by Volbeat in metal and it's amazing. I is a good nickname for Victini because of the battle text, "I used Final Gambit! I fainted!" While Victini has four moves, you'll mostly only be using Final Gambit, which does 404 damage to the opponent and also kills off Victini.
Only (Ferrothorn) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Gyro Ball
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Stealth Rock
Don't be an idiot like me, give him 0 Speed IVs. All Ferrothorn truly needs to do against crappy teams is set up Stealth Rock. It can also keep Pokemon alive with Leech Seed and kill off random things with Gyro Ball. With Ferrothorn don't get greedy, it doesn't need to live, once you have a Leech Seed on something it's time to switch.
Wanna (Politoed) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Protect
- Toxic
- Substitute
- Scald
The only Politoed I ever run is specially defensive. While other moves are good for some things, I don't need encore since Volbeat already has it, and I don't want Perish Song on a Baton Pass team, so this is what it ended up with. This will annoy everything.
Bee (Volbeat) (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 40 Def / 216 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Tail Glow
- Baton Pass
- Light Screen
- Encore
Noob Power! people see Volbeat and instantly assume you're terrible, don't correct them, they'll play like shit. You want to bring this in on opposing hazard pokemon to encore them into support moves, then set up a tail glow and pass to whatever Pokemon suits the situation, usually Tornadus, occasionally Keldeo, rarely Politoed. Light Screen comes in handy when Volbeat already has Leech Seed support and it's opponent is a special attacker. It's also a good move to use while you're waiting to see what you're opponent is going to bring in.
With (Tornadus) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hurricane
- Psychic
- Focus Blast
- Grass Knot
Rape Rape Rape. Tornadus with a Choice Scarf is
usable normally. At +6 or even +3 Tornadus is unstoppable. Base 111 Speed means it will outspeed all the standard scarfers, even Latios. Don't worry about locking into Hurricane, it kills Electric and Steel types in one hit anyway. The other moves are for when Tornadus comes in without a boost and has to kill something quick.
You (Keldeo) @ Leftovers
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Surf
- Secret Sword
- Hidden Power [Dark]
You, the illiterate Pokemon. But Invalid, how do you know it's illiterate? Well here's an example of the kind of things the battle window says when I send You out. "You's Sp. Att. rose! You's Sp. Def. rose! You is buffeted by the sandstorm!" While it doesn't get much use when you're battling against opponents who don't know how Volbeat works, once you start to struggle Keldeo comes in handy a lot. Keldeo also serves as anti-sand if Victini doesn't get the job done.
