The best team ever made by anyone ever.

Hey, if I wasn't a so-so battler I'd be on top of the ladder with this team, really. I've been holding off on "unveiling" this for awhile. Not sure why.

Wynaut (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Shadow Tag
EVs: 76 HP/212 Def/212 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Counter
- Mirror Coat
- Encore
- Tickle
---

Wynaut has a lot of synergy with my team. Basically, this was made when every lead ever had Hypnosis. I Encore the status attack flung at me as it's cured by Lum Berry. From there, I go to Murkrow if it's a Sleep move, Dugtrio or Chinchou if it's Thunder Wave, or Misdreavus if it's a Normal attack. With my team's wide array of immunities, Wynaut bought switch ins for many of my offensive threats too. Finally, Tickle is for if I encored a slower Bronzor's Stealth Rock: I Tickle it 3 or 4 times, go to Murkrow, and Pursuit for the guaranteed OHKO.

Murkrow (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Insomnia
EVs: 36 HP/236 Atk/20 Def/188 Spd/20 SDef
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Sucker Punch
- Pursuit
- Drill Peck
- Steel Wing
---

I never got around to replacing Steel Wing with HP Fighting, so in EVERY BATTLE everyone ever faced in me Shieldon would have switched in with impunity. Good thing no one switched in on me. Murkrow relies a lot on prediction, and this set capitalizes on my very shitty prediction skills. Murkrow wasn't much of an asset to my team, at least not as much as Misdreavus, but he got a kill here and there and was generally useful.

Misdreavus (M) @ Salac Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 240 Spd/240 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Substitute
---

Substitute on the switch, then cause pain. My default Bronzor switch in as I could set up on him all day long with Calm Mind. Salac Berry is for if I get a Sub on the switch to a faster opponent; I can Sub down to Salac Berry and become faster, then OHKO as everything faster is really frail.

Diglett (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Arena Trap
EVs: 36 HP/236 Atk/236 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Sucker Punch
- Pursuit
---

Just your standard Scarf Diglett. I love how he eases prediction and makes fighting non-Vaccum Wave Croagunk much easier. Pursuit is pure filler; there's literally no better move to put there.

Bronzor @ Oran Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 220 HP/4 Atk/228 Def
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Gyro Ball
- Stealth Rock
- Reflect
---

Reflect and Stealth Rock support is awesome; setting up a Reflect and going to Misdreavus led to a LOT of sweeps. Because Bronzor's offensive capabilities suck balls, both attacks are needed to get as many SE hits as possible.

Chinchou (M) @ Oran Berry
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 236 HP/228 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Surf
- Thunder Wave
- Thunderbolt
---

Switched him out for Munchlax as I needed an emergency response to Gligar, though Chinchou is in no way a counter it kept him from switching in as often. Thunder Wave was pretty useless, I'm thinking HP Grass would be better there for other Chinchou.


So yeah, the basic strategy of the team: Get Misdreavus to sweep. Discuss.

If you need help with Gligar try Adamant Max Atk/Def Skill Link Icicle Spear Expert Belt/LifeOrb/ChoiceBand Shellder. It works.

I used to use that strategy with Wynaut, but I stopped because it was so easy to pull off. And I'm not a huge ladder fan, so there was no point in giving anyone an idea.

What will be switching in on Bronzor knowing he has EQ? Gligar and other flying types/levitators. Switch it out for something useful that they won't be expecting. It messes up quite a few teams.

Diglett: Focus Sash > Choice Scarf. Always.

Chinchou could use Shed Shell if you're afraid of Diglett.

REPLACE STEEL WING. The End.

Not much else. I do love it.

stop changing this

from my experience, misdrevus cannot sweep. with the surplus of priorety moves missy will only last 1-2 turns after set up. you team could be better if you used it to make sure murkrow gets the sweep. if you really want the normal immunity then a shuppet with shadow sneak could work, but i think that a croagunk would be better.

btw, thanks for changing my member title >_>

You're right. Better replace Steel Wing with Hidden Power on Murkrow. Ground could work if the Shieldon you're facing has a Chople.

Speaking of Hidden Power Ground, Chinchou can use it for enemy Chinchou, or would you keep it at Grass? Grass also nails Wooper harder, but iirc Wooper is rarely used in LC; Ground on the other hand nails Magnemite harder, just in case Surf fails to KO. Magnemite is the other boltbeam resistor.

As for said Shellder, Icicle Spear is not STAB. Shellder is purely Water, not Water/Ice, just in case you have forgotten that.
