Revealing my main teams Of 4th Gen Metagame for beginning of the 5th Gen Metagame.
- Spoiler:
Let It Die (Staraptor) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 8 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Def / 240 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Brave Bird
- Close Combat
- U-turn
- Return
One of those leads that really is pretty great for making an escape and putting some pressure on the other Pokemon. Right from the start after the Intimidate not many super effective physical hits will 1HKO. It puts Anti-Leads like Machamp to shame and really wreaks a few other things but it does have U-turn to make an escape just encase it can't do anything else. It has Choice Scarf for the only reason of outspeeding everything. Azelfs attempting to get a Thunderbolt off aren't going to get a chance.
Anejo (Lucario) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Steadfast
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- ExtremeSpeed
- Crunch
- Swords Dance
Some what underrated revenger. Since it doesn't have a high base attack STAB priority move. Otherwise it does great with just Extremespeed but Gengars do scare him away.
Downpour (Vaporeon) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 188 HP / 252 Def / 68 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Wish
- Surf
- Toxic
- Protect
As you see the beginning of my liking of using Vaporeon. First time I really realized the power of it. Same set as the last time I believe.
Glowstick (Jolteon) (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 4 Def / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Shadow Ball
- Signal Beam
Glowsticked... Quick, powerful and great coverage. Nothing else to say. As seeing as this team has no Special Wall. The immunities of my Pokemon have to come into play to overcome that missing part. Jolteons being the most important.
Dystopian (Mesprit) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 220 Def / 40 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- U-turn
Super underrated Pokemon. Its a great UU pokemon that people can make great use of in the OU metagame. I Always like setting up stealth rocks late game so people get conformable to the fact I didn't put them up at the start so I must not have them. More likely to risk losing their spinner.
999,999 (Infernape) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 252 Spd / 196 SAtk / 60 SDef
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Flamethrower
- Nasty Plot
- Focus Blast
- Grass Knot
Pokemon with most likely 999,999 uses. As I said before Infernape is in most of my teams due to the pure fact of how useful it is. This one is pure Speical with some special defense for face offs with faster special attackers.

Worst Kind (Gyarados) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 176 HP / 80 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Stone Edge
Totally the worst kind of weapon. If you aren't prepared you'll face some quick set up. He'll Substitute on your Stealth Rocks and Dragon Dance on your attack. Or go for a straight attack encase the obvious Taunt is coming.
BrokenWeapon (Azelf) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 40 HP / 216 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Grass Knot
- Flamethrower
- Psychic
- Thunderbolt
A truly broken weapon, Yeah I'll use it forever even if it constantly misses KOs. Still a great revenger.
Misery Loves (Blissey) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Aromatherapy
- Softboiled
- Seismic Toss
- Thunder Wave
Misery does love you when Blissey is around and you have nothing to beat it. Its truly sad how many people still can't counter it.
Long Shot (Heracross) (M) @ Liechi Berry
Trait: Guts
EVs: 56 HP / 200 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Megahorn
This one is made for a few attacks and switch. Substitute if possible or substitute down to Liechi for a massive attack.
Bendable (Scizor) (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
EVs: 200 HP / 252 Atk / 56 Spd
Naughty Nature (+Atk, -SDef)
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Quick Attack
- Superpower
Pretty super standard Scizor revenger. Even how many people hate it doesn't make it any less useful.
Side Effect (Heatran) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Flamethrower
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Explosion
Amazing Heatran which can get kills but with side effects. You send out Blissey, Swampert, Gyarados... well a lot of things they'll most likely be faced with death even if the result is the death of my Heatran.
