Rahi123 new try at a baton passing team


-------------------------------------------------------


Azelf@Expert Belt
Timid:Levitate
36hp/252spA/220speed
-Nasty Plot
-Psychic
-flamethrower
-grass knot

Well good lead has good speed, i always start of by nasty plotting expecting a switch or something. I usually am able to sweep 2-3 pokemon with 1 nasty plot. Doesn't survive that much but is a good lead.


Lucario@Life Orb
Adamant:Inner Focus
4hp/252atk/252speed
-close combat
-swords dance
-extreme speed
-crunch

This guy is alright i may need to take him out and i am open to all suggestions. I usually get him out when i finish doing 2-4 acid armors with vaporeon then i baton pass to him and get in a couple of swords dances and start to sweep.


Vaporeon@Lefties
Bold:Water Absorb
188hp/252def/68spA
-Acid Armor
-Surf
-Wish
-Baton Pass

I always start to acid armor on him and send out to luccario am i doing the right think or should i do another baton pass, to another pokemon. Wjsh also really helps when hp is low.


Dugtrio@choice band
Jolly:arena trap
252atk/4spD/252speed
-earthquake
-aerial ace
-stone edge
-night slash

This thing is great as a revenge killer just comes in and takes the enemy out really good and has a good amount of speed. Night Slash against ghosts and other pokemon.


Zapdos@Lefties
Modest@Pressure
252hp/132def/84spA/40speed
-agility
-baton pass
-thunderbolt
-H/P ice

great pokemon has decent amount of every stat nice sp atk and i usually start to do some agilities then take out the pokemon. Then baton pass to my steelix who just sweeps at the end.


Steelix@lefties
Impish@Sturdy
-Earth Quake
-Stealth Rock/ since he comes in late i should make this something else
-Stone Edge
-Explosion

After the baton pass from zapodos the game has ended this guy just sweeps every one out i really like this combo him and zapodos do.

I'm looking for a good replacement for luccario without it really affecting my team. I am open to any suggestions.

I would suggest leading with zap. Give it a lum berry and then agility on the first turn. You will outspeed everything after one agility. Then you sub to avoid more status and then pass of to something else. I also suggest breeding a lucario with HP Ice and Vacuum wave and using a set of vacuum wave / HP Ice / Close Combat / Crunch. That is what I use on my baton pass team. If you want to do that then you need somebody that can pass some sp. atk boosts. I suggest using mr.mime for that. Mr.Mime is great because its ability soundproof blocks roar and keeps people from breaking your chain. Give Mr.Mime t-bolt and grass knot to take care of the 2 most common phazers (skarm, pert). Other than that the team doesnt look bad. You have the makings of a pretty good baton pass team. If you want you can battle my baton pass team sometime to get ideas for your team.

One problem I do see with your team is that you need to commit to either baton pass or not. You are kinda on the fence. If you want to make a full out effective baton pass team you are going to have to lose some of those pokes that don't provide any boosts at all. If you don't feel like heading in that direction the I suggest that you try to take out one of your chains. You don't need the lucario set up AND the steelix set up. I would use one or the other.

i totally love to do that and i keeping inconsideration about zap being lead and what would i take out to put substitute? After i do an agility who should i baton pass it to.

Did u make this already? if not you dont need HP ev's on Azelf.

And making NP Azelf lead isnt that good of an idea unless ur putting taunt on that. Rain Dance, Sunny Day, Trick Room teams would suck.

Also theres alot more choices than to perform the Agipass instead of Steelix. Try Scizor, because Agilitypass on scizor is just a pain to deal with imo. Steelix is alright... i guess, but not the best choice.

[Scimjara]

true im gonna make zap my lead holding a lum berry is a good idea

and @byak no scizor def sucks compared to steelix amazing 200 base stat.
and i didnt start im jotting ideas.

[ChaosZR]

I would get rid of hp ice on zap for sub. After you agility up I would pass to vaporeon and get in an acid armor or two.

most useless post ever many people use ledgends in competitive meta game battle.

w.e im thinking about replacing steelix with metagross after the agili and acid armor pass it could sweep.

You are one of those people who needs to make themselves feel better about losing so you need something to blame and in this case you are blaming legendaries. What are you going to blame next time? Breloom? Haxkiss? If you don't like that people use "overpowered" pokes then don't bother playing. Kthxbai.

thanks chaozr alot for the help and for the team ideas.
