When making a new team I decided to try something new and thought of making a Trick Room team. And I did.
I've tested it a little on Shoddy, I've won battles when Trick Room was always on when needed and things but I've lost battles when my two Trick Room users faint and I have only Latias for decent battling.
I'm thinking of replacing Latias with a faster sweeper with good type coverage as I'd be relying on them when Trick room users faint(well if they do).
Bronzong - Physical/Mixed Wall
Dusknoir - Special/Mixed Wall
Marowak - Physical Sweeper
Machamp - Physical Sweeper
Clamperl - Special Sweeper
Latias - Emergency Sweeper
Bronzong @ Macho Brace
Nature: Relaxed
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/152 Att/8 Def/98 SpD
~Trick Room
~Gyro Ball
~Earthquake
~Explosion
My lead. Macho Brace is AWESOME in Trick Room teams as it halfs your speed which helps. It also boosts Gyro Ball's power. And Earthquake and Explosion are just attacking moves to be used when needed.
Dusknoir @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252 HP/52 Def/204 SpD
~Shadow Punch
~Will-O-Wisp
~Trick Room
~Pain Split
Another Trick Room user. Shadow Punch is STAB and is a decent move. Will-O-Wisp kills sweepers and Pain Split is a recovery move and an offensive move.
Marowak @ Thick Club
Nature: Brave
Ability: Rock Head
EVs: 130 HP / 252 Atk / 126 Def
~Earthquake
~Double Edge
~Fire Punch
~Stone Edge
Another all out attacker. Thick Club plus Trick Room is love for Marowak and Marowak will have INSANE attack with it. Double Edge has no recoil because of Rock Head.
Machamp @ Life Orb
Nature: Brave
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Def
~Close Combat
~Icepunch
~Thunderpunch
~Stone Edge
Machamp is a great Wall-Breaker when Trick Room is up and kills Blissey who I REALLY HATE. Icepunch and Thunderpunch are good type coverage and Close Combat of course is STAB. Stone Edge just plain kills.
Clamperl @ Deepseatooth
Nature: Quiet
Ability: Shell Armor
EVs: 252 HP/252 SpA/6 Def
~Surf
~Ice Beam
~HP Electric
~Brine
Clamperl. With Deepseatooth and Trick Room Clamperl is a very hard hitting BEAST. My only special sweeper relying on Trick Room Clamperl needs some good type coverage with special moves. I have Boltbeam with Thunderbolt replaced with HP Electric and Surf is the STAB I always add to a Pokemon.
Latias @ Choice Specs
Nature: Timid
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spd
~Surf
~Thunderbolt
~Draco Meteor
~Psychic
Latias is my sweeper in case Trick Room is a no goer or it's my last Pokemon or whatever. Because if Trick Room is out of PP or the Trick Room setter-up Pokemon are fainted then my team is killed. So Latias has decent speed and has recently been moved to OU. All out attacking and with both STAB moves :)
Hmm...
What about Salamence for a Latias replacement?
Salamence @ Choice Specs/Life Orb
Nature: Modest
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spd
-Draco Meteor
-Flamethrower
-Hydro Pump
-Dragon Pulse
I'm not sure to give it Choice Specs or Life Orb because What if it is the last Pokemon on my team? It can't switch out...it is Specsmence but I just feel like it wouldn't be so great :/
And since it's Shoddy it's all 31 IVs except for Speed which is Zero(except for Latias who has 31)
Suggestions wanted :)
