Eon's Speed Team: Mach 1.0

[Eon Master]

In order for Proleiator Invinctus to clean up the Tower before I get Soul Silver, I've created a Speed Team to help me ace the first 49. I've used Pokemon that aren't common on Speed Teams, just to be different.


Gallade@Choice Scarf
Adamant
Ev's:252Atk/236Spe/20Hp
~Steadfast~
-Close Combat
-Psycho Cut
-Night Slash
-Stone Edge

ScarfLade. Standard as it gets, except that I'm running 236 Speed EV's, simply because it's the minimum ammount he needs to outspeed the highest speed teir he can with Adamant at +1(Scarf).


Porygon-Z@Wise Glasses
Timid
Ev's:252Sp.Atk/252Spe/4Hp
~Adaptability~
-Tri Attack
-HP Fighting
-Dark Pulse
-Shock Wave

Porygon-Z. Again, standard. A straight up attacking set is all he can really do. Thanks to AlCario for the changes to Porygon-Z.


Zapdos@Life Orb
Timid
Ev's:252Sp.Atk/252Spe/4Hp
~Pressure~
-Thunderbolt
-Heat Wave
-HP Grass
-Roost

And Zapdos to finish. Guards against both Gallade's Flying weakness and PZ's Fighting weakness. Standard LO set.

Fire Away.

u r b sch a n00b lololololololololol u fail

lol, it seems solid to me. After all its just a speed team. But as Terry would say, its extremely hax week...sorry. You can't reach 1500 like he can...

This team is pretty good. But do you realise that Gallade may hit only one Pokemon and KO it before it may have to switch out?

eg: You use Psycho Cut on a Croagunk/Toxicroak. Then, in comes some Dark type. You have to give your opponent a free turn to switch.

However, the other 2 members are solid, and Zapdos can definitely take a hit, so I suppose it is not a problem.

Good. Able to hit for a lot of damage on most things.

Porygon-Z@Wise Glasses
Timid
Ev's:252Sp.Atk/252Spe/4Hp
~Adaptability~
-Tri Attack
-Thunderbolt
-Dark Pulse
-Ice Beam

Porygon-Z. Again, standard. A straight up attacking set is all he can really do. Only deviation from the norm is that Swift is under consideration to deal with Double Team Hax.

Tri Attack is a STAB that works really well on PZ. If you really need Swift, get rid of Dark Pulse. But I don't recommend it.


Zapdos@Choice Specs
Timid
Ev's:252Sp.Atk/252Spe/4Hp
~Pressure~
-Thunderbolt
-Heat Wave
-HP Grass
-U-turn

And Zapdos to finish. Guards against both Gallade's Flying weakness and PZ's Fighting weakness. Standard LO set.

Hmm...this one I'm not too sure about. I like U-turn, in case you come across something that resists T-bolt, Heat Wave, and Hidden Power Grass like Steelix. However, you can keep Roost, and keep it the way it is. And, I recommend Choice Specs, because you'll hit for a lot more damage.

Fire Away.

Comments in Bold. Pretty well planned team.

[hailflameblast]

^lol at Zapdos being walled by STeelix. Fire destroys Steel, mate. Get your type advantages right.^

[AbsolKnight66]

Forgot about that, sorry.

[Vaporeon4evr]

Well, it'll never break 4000 like that 12 year old girl Terry secretly knows about. But it will get its job done.

[AlCario]

Boltbeam is overrated on P-z. Dark-Fighting is another combination that gets amazing coverage and generally works better with Pory's Normal-type STAB.

Porygon-z@Wise Glasses/whatever
Timid
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
-Tri Attack
-Dark Pulse
-HP Fight
-Swift/Shock Wave

This set, perhaps with a couple of alterations, is what you should be running on Pory. Essentially the idea is that you destroy things with Tri-Attack, with Dark Pulse and HP Fight covering the types that resist it. The last slot covers haxers.

True, but conversely, Gallade can wipe entire teams out in a matter of seconds. It's a trade off I've done my best to remedy.

True. I'm basically set.

Interesting. I think I'll run that instead. Thanks.
