A Cup Of Coffee

itsallenb

Since I decided not to use weather pokemon, I made a new team.
Ill go ahead..
Comments & Suggestions are highly accepted.
All in red are to be replaced.Thoughts?
All in blue are changed.


Cinccino@Life Orb
Jolly
Technician/Skill Link
252Atk/4Def/252Spd

-U-Turn
-Wake-Up Slap
-Rock Blast
-Bullet Seed

First of all the reason I change Cinccino's current ability is
because I shift from Wifi OU to DW OU back and forth.
I really like multi hit moves since I
always see substitute used by other pokemons.
Bullet Seed helps me deal with tyranitar, politoed and even cloyster.
While Rock blast helps me deal with ninetales, and those flying types
(special mention for volcarona). I u-turn when I know that cinccino can't
touch his opponents. I chose wake-up slap rather that tail slap simply
because I can't touch ferrothorn and he's pretty popular.



Sableye@Iron Ball
Bold
Prankster
252Def/252SDef

-Night Shade
-Trick
-Will-O-Wisp
-Recover

Everybody thinks that they can just taunt my Sableye to
death but I gave him night shade which makes him not a taunt bait.
This set focuses on giving statuses and wait till your opponent faints.
Recover is obviously there so sableye could last longer and cause
more damage.



Magnezone@Leftovers
Modest
Magnet Pull
160Def/252SpA/92SDef

-Substitute
-Charge Beam
-HP(Fire)
-Flash Cannon

Magnezone saved me many times already. He saves from the BP's of scizor,
Ferro and even Jirachi. I always use substitute if I think there is no threat for
Magnezone. After substituting I go for charge beam even if it is a steel-type,
since it makes magnezone more powerful with those +1's. HP(Fire) to finish off
those steel-types. And Flash Cannon for some STAB move.



Scizor@Leftovers
Adamant
Technician
252Atk/252Def/4SDef

-Sword Dance
-Bug Bite
-Bullet Punch
-Pursuit

I always use SD if I think my opponent would be switching poke, since
after one SD my scizor would be sweeping! Bullet Punch to everything even
if the other poke resists it because it does great wonders. I was able to OHKO
a multiscale dragonite with it :). Pursuit to those who think that they can
escape that easily. And U-turn as a last resort when I know that my scizor
will faint.



Volcarona@Leftovers
Modest
Flame Body
252SpA/4SDef/252Spd

-Flamethrower
-HP(ground)
-Bug Buzz
-Quiver Dance

My fave gen 5 pokemon. After 1 QD this pokemon is now super ready to
sweep teams. Flamethrower and Bug Buzz for some strong STAB. HP(fighting)
for I dont even know. I need thoughts on what HP should I use.



Latias@Life Orb
Timid
Levitate
252SpA/4SDef/252Spd

-Recover
-Thunderbolt
-Surf
-Draco Meteor

Life orb latias is doing wonders in my team. It is bulky enough to last longer
than latios and with life orb I think she is capable of doing some serious
damage. Surf and Thunderbolt covers latias blind spots. Since I cant be Draco
Meteoring everytime I need two moves that are useful enough. After doing some
damages Latias gets weaker because of Life Orb and that is the time I use
recover to keep Latias fighting.

Sableye w/trick-choice or anything that can cripple Big Threats that may hurt your team. Also running Taunt on him wont be a bad idea either. Just a minor nitpick to assist your team and its primary goal. I hope this helps.

Stall Breaking Sableye:
Sableye@Iron Ball/Choice Band/Anything Crippling
Bold
Prankster
252Def/252SDef

-Night Shade
-Trick
-Will-O-Wisp
-Recover/Taunt

i'm a noob... now that's out of the box... lemme continue

i don't think you need to worry about excadrill because that pokemon is banned from OU. that pokemon is an uber now...

you use flash cannon on magezone because it stabs. but magnezone is also electric... there are plenty of other special attack moves that hit harder than flash cannon.
you argue for flash cannon on the chance it will flinch the pokemon... because it's 30%. yes that's true but it is also true that... how often does a magnezone attack first? not very often... i would reccommend that you get a move that hits harder than sticking with a 80/100 stab move that you can't even reap the benefits from its effect.

as for your volca... i'm not sure HP is the best way to go... but if you really wanna go that route. instead of HP fighting, i would suggest HP grass. volca is weakened to water, rock, and flying. grass will take care of the water and rock pokemon... and you can go neutral damage against the flying with fire moves.
**i would suggest using substitute. because without it... a quiver dance sweep is more unlikely. volca usually causes people to switch and setting up a sub guarantees atleast ONE quiver dance for 25% of your health. i think this is a better alternative and hitting HARDER with your stab moves instead of putting an arbitrary HP move that will not help your sweep but only give you a little more coverage.

i hope i helped a little.
 

The Truth

if you don't want to run a recovery move in that slot on volc, i would suggest hp ground, which surprise-kills the ever present heatran switch-in.

if you want a life orb sweeper, go with latiOs over latiAs, its stats are simply better suited to sweeping. you can run the same set and be far more effective.

u-turn is better on a choice band set, but on SD scizor, go with bug bite. it doesnt force you to switch and lose your boosts, and it gets powered up by technician. also, as for scizor's EVs, max hp instead of defense, it just plain works better. if you're trying to use u-turn as a move to save yourself at low hp, think again, its not like scizor outspeeds most of its threats anyway. superpower>pursuit on that set, sure it drops your attack, but with sd that shouldnt matter, and after the first kill its not like things that will want to switch out/will be easily ko'd will come in on it anyway. you're basically running a CB set with SD and no CB. fix it.

Hi there
I like the fact that you run non weather, However if your opponent sets up rocks its GG for volcarona so I'd probably put in a Donphan or Tentacruel over Cincinno If you want to use one pm me for the set also put Leftovers over Life Orb on Scizor That way its Sweeping ability goes up, as well as its ability to not kill itself with LO
Hope I Helped :]
