Team Cruel Intentions
Intro:
I been trying to make a decent team for age's since platinum changes, I think i accutally made a good one. Thanks alot Firas For help making me make this team
What you been waiting for
Gallade (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Steadfast
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Swords Dance
- Shadow Sneak
---
Analysis: This thing is a beast beats out 8/10 most used leads.
I will show you what leads it beats out.
''Qoute from I Am Cool''
Bronzong: If you carry lum berry then you shouldn’t worry about hypnosis, and even if you choose to go with focus sash, hypnosise’s poor 60% acc should not worry you a lot, basically sd as they hypnosis or do whatever, then a close combat should ko even the bulkiest of bronzong.
Gengar: Shadow ball won’t ko gallade thanks to gallade’s amazing sp.def, and again, if you’re running lum berry hypnosis shouldn’t trouble you, and it’s 60% acc shouldn’t trouble you even if you aren’t, while you sd as gengar uses hypnosis or shadow ball, and then hit it with a priority shadow sneak which will obviously ko after a sd.
Azelf: You can never stop a suicide lead from setting up stealth rocks, but you can always prevent it from exploding or setting up even further, basically you shadow sneak, then it sets up stealth rock, then the second shadow sneak should kill. You obviously shouldn’t get greedy and sd, since it not only will set up stealth rock, but it will also explode on your face as it survives the sded shadow sneak with its sash.
Gyarados: Focus sashe’s presence was simply to allow you to beat gyara, and is thus a recommended item over lum berry, basically as gyara dde’s, you set up a sword dance, you survive his lo water fall thanks to focus sash and then ko with a stone edge, although a miss might prove annoying, and if it’s taunt gyara then that might give you some problems as well.
Tyranytar: You can basically laugh at any variation of ttar, but don’t get greedy and sd, since that will cost you your gallade, just hit it with a close combat and you basically won against it.
Ninjask: You basically should always sd on the first turn, as it subs or protects, in the case it subs, keep sding, once you have gotten to +6 atk, and it has gotten to +4, as it bps you break the sub before it is able to thanks to shadow sneaks priority, and if it sds, all the better, then you broke the sub, and then both of you have +6 atk, but you have a priority move to kill it, and basically sweep the team with relative ease after that, but in the case it bps, then you rely on your focus sash to save you from whatever move your opponent will use, and from there sweep with +6 atk, but if it protects, then you basically got 2-3 free atk boosts and can also perform a sweep, so ninjask is basically set up bate.
Yanmega: You really can’t do anything, simply switch out into a counter…
Aerodactyl: Stone edge as it taunts or stealth rocks and then shadow sneak to kill the 1 hp aero that survive the vicious stone edge thanks to its stone edge.
Salamence: Same scenario as gyarados.
Crobat: Sleep can prove troublesome, so you basically have to switch out.
Well there you go not much to say after you see that.

Ability: Hustle
EVs: 252 HP/6 Def/252 SDef

- Extremespeed

---
Analysis: My special wall. Very decent also. T-wave is just amazing i love parahax

call me a noob but i love it. This thing can take hits let me tell you that. Also great for it's 2 immunes , Ground & Ghost. Hustle is great 1.5x attack boost who would'nt want that, Extremespeed is just finishing move for the weak pokes. Also this covers gallade Ghost weakness. When gallade covers it stone weakness team work ftw.

Analysis: Thanks Firas for suggesting this alakzam! Amazing revenge killer outspeeds nearly everything and revenges kills it awesome with it's 135 base Satk i think it is. Shadow ball takes care of azelf , Gengar , Other alakzams , and much more , HP ice for dragons most likely , Thing is prob the best revenge killer!

Analysis: Me and Firas made this set it was Between Fire fang or Aqual tail for last filler i choosed fire fang. Lets talk about CB . This thing is like a tryintar same base power atk ( 135 ) But faster . This thing really packs a punch. I went with jolly cause of all the lucario's flying around with ice punch. Fire Fang is just great with it's flinch bonus / Burn With the Choice Band! Brick Break is to kill blissey's that way i don't got to use outrage then get stuck agiasnt a counter. EQ is obvious , This thing is my main sweeper God i love this thing!.

Info:
Does your team resist all 17 types? If so, are you using a steel type?
No my team resist to 13 types, and is immune to 4 types, making it have easier time switching in, and yes I use a steel type which is jirachi.
Does your team have 3 or more immunities to certain types? If so, Are you using a ghost type?
4 actually, and No
Can your lead take on the top 10 most used pokes? If not, how many can it take on?
Actually, no lead can, but at least gallade can handle 8/10 or 9/10 of them.
Do your team mates have a roll, or are they just a pile of ou pokes dumped together?
Yes, my team consists of, the lead being a physical or special attacker / physical attacker or special attacker, depends on the lead / special wall / physical wall / mixed wall / mixed sweeper, which is almost exactly what every team should look like.
Once again thanks firas for helping me make this team , and i am cool guide for helping me become better at team building!
