Avengers, Assemble!

Changed lots of shit again. I (not too proudly) present the seventh incarnation of the primer Avengers Little Cup Team:

The Intangible Vision (Shuppet) (M) @ Oran Berry
Ability: Insomnia
EVs: 236 Atk/236 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Shadow Sneak
- Sucker Punch
- Confuse Ray
- Thunder Wave

Named for the lovable man-bot who could become as hard as diamonds or thin as air, Shuppet represents this quite well. Getting both ParaFusion and double priority is good. At least, good to me. I don't plan on changing Shuppet, as his purpose is two fold. First, he tricks the opponent into thinking I'm running Trick Room, as that's what Shuppet is known for. He can KO Abra and Gastly leads, which aren't really as common as they once were. He can also confuse slower Pokemon before killing them quietly with Shadow Sneak. Oran allows him to get in ParaFusion when necessary.
---
The Untouchable Captain America (Carvanha) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 196 Atk/236 Spd/76 SAtk
Naughty nature (+Atk, -SDef)
- Aqua Jet
- Hydro Pump
- Crunch
- Ice Fang

Named for the 1930's pinnacle of what the human being can be, my Captain America doesn't quite measure up to the original. Cap was a "Super-Soldier," created to fight the Nazis in WWII. He was one of the number one heroes for quite some time due to his combat expertise. He died last year from a gunshot. Now my, my comicbook history lesson may bore you, but it's intrinsic to why I have Carvanha how he is: He performs in an entirely unorthodox manner, being a mixed attacker in an environment of almost all...not...mixed...guys. He surprised Gligar and Hippotas with a Hydro Pump, OHKOing them both.
---
The Expedient Quicksilver (Elekid) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Static
EVs: 252 Atk/236 Spd
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Quick Attack
- Thunderpunch
- Cross Chop
- Ice Punch

Pretty basic, standard set. TPunch for STAB, Cross Chop and Ice Punch for coverage, and Quick Attack to make Sashers cry.
---
The Amazing Ant-Man (Anorith) (M) @ Salac Berry
Ability: Battle Armor
EVs: 236 Atk/236 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Brick Break
- X-Scissor
- Stealth Rock
- Rock Slide

Standard. Sets up Rocks when he can and sweeps. Devastates Munchlax, btw.
---
The Mighty Thor (Croagunk) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Dry Skin
EVs: 188 Atk/188 SAtk
Lonely nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Fake Out
- Nasty Plot
- Sucker Punch
- Vacuum Wave

Again, all priority. He Plots when he can and then Vacuum Waves to death. Fake Out lets him get free damage on most anything, while Sucker Punch KOs the cocky Gastly that switches in to block Fake Out.
---
The Incredible Hulk (Poliwag) (M) @ Oran Berry
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 36 HP/36 Atk/116 Def/196 Spd/116 SDef
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Belly Drum
- Waterfall
- Frustration
- Hypnosis

Now the standard, apparently. This is the same Poliwag set I've been using since day one, and it works fabulously if everything else has done as intended.

stop changing this

well first lets solve this BP problem...

Posted Image

with compound lens sleep powder is a pretty nice 97% meaning you'll be able to get sleep in there most of the time. and dont worry venonat can take a hit and heal with oran berry. after the sleep just agility and BP.

eh, you dont realy have a for of wall in this team. a lot of people think that just because its fast paced you dont need walls
WRONG

a good wall that comes to mind is bronzor. with the ability to maybe set up sun for exeggcute is really nice if you give him heat rock. speaking of exeggcute. what are you thinking giving him choice scarf when his ability is chlorophyll? put sunny day over psychic or sludge bomb. actually none of the rest of your team likes sunny day, lets fix this.

croagunk is a bad lead. even more so if you make him all priorety(which isn't good in any situation). croagunk lacks the power to pull off all priorety and the common leads will outspeed you with their priorety or status you. you could change it to something like meowth, who IMO, is the best lead.

poliwag, another thing on this team that just makes me go "eh". he too slow for the job you trying to get him to do. hell take damage on the baton pass, he'll take both self inflicted damage and opposing damage on the belly drum and then any for of priorety will just screw you over. for a better BP option, use machop or makuhita or eevee to BP to. something with a strong priorety move. you can even change ryhorn for gliar if you wanted to pass the SD.

good luck with your battles.

EDIT: npchimcharftw, dont make stupid, meaningless posts in shomone RMT. this is a place to improve, not chat.

NPChimcharFTW, that's a warning for SPAM. I can't mark it, but it's still official.

A small tidbit of a comment, but why bother with Lonely on Croagunk? Brave(/Quiet) may be better seeing as you have all priority moves anyways. I know that should other pokemon use a same priority-level moves you'll most likely go last, but seeing as you resist Sucker Punch/Aqua Jet/Mach Punch/Vacuum Wave and aren't weak to any of the other priority moves anyways does it really matter?

It wasn't meant to be spam, I actually battled this team and that Poliwag annhialated me. I apologize, the battle was just still fresh in my mind. That probably was "an idiotic thing to do", and I'm sorry.

your team seems to be good the only thing is that its weak to common priority moves like ponyta,magby and arnoith are weak to aqua jet and carvahna,arnoith are weak to vacum wave wich means croagunk can cause you some problems.elekid is also to frail to take priority moves and poliwag just gets the same treatment when you think you won the game a priority moves messes you up.I suggest something like croagunk who resists priority moves such as vacum wave and is immune to aqua jet.

Earthquake weakness. You don't have a single ground resist. Bronzor would fix this. My Focus Sash Diglett (yes, I use a focus sash Diglett for fear of Murkrow) could rip through this team.

Life Orb or Expert Belt Staryu can also sweep you completely. Expert belt especially, as your priority attacks will take longer to KO it. Elekid might be able to take it, but even if it gets in a surf, they can just switch to an electric resist or Bronzor. I haven't seen many on Shoddy, but it's OU, so apperantly there are some.

I think Gastly can fit somewhere on this team to beat Quick Attack/Mach Punchers as well as fix your EQ problem. Not too sure what to get rid of... Magby? Elekid is already decent as a mix sweeper. I fail at this meta so you can disregard my advice if you want. :/.

Since the re-addition of Croagunk, I need advice as to what I should replace for Gastly. Earthquake immunity is very, very welcome.
