Hey Noelson here, with my first ever team I'm going to share. I did quite some testing with alot of teams and it seems that this team did the best overall (Top seed hue). THE TEAM: Should I call this bulky offense? I think so. It's kinda mixed, with mons like Weavile and Genesect as revenge killers. I didn't chose for Chansey, since it's pretty useless when it gets Knock'd Off. Porygon2 instead can do more than sit there and regain health. Introductions: Rocky (Rhyperior) (M) @ Leftovers Shiny: Yes Trait: Solid Rock EVs: 248 HP / 16 Atk / 244 SDef Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Stealth Rock - Earthquake - Rock Blast - RoarThis is Rocky here. I personally prefer this Stealth Rocker above others because of it's bulky ass, ability and typing. Serperior's Leaf Storm does shit against it (But beware of HP Fire). Solid Rock can be replaced by Lightning Rod if needed. Also lays down the finest rocks from Sinnoh, roars away annyong setters and EQ and RB do some fair damage with it's strong attack stat. Frost (Weavile) (M) @ Life Orb Shiny: Yes Trait: Pressure EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Swords Dance/Pursuit - Icicle Crash - Ice Shard - Knock Off A beast in OU, and a beast in Inverted Battle. Weavile + Life Orb can 2HKO an Avalugg with Icicle Crash and 1HKO with +2 Attack if it isn't max Def. Also Knock Off to get rid of bulky Chansey and Porygon2. Don't SD when there is a Ditto alive, that can bring you in some deep sh!t if Genesect is dead. If not, have fun slicing through teams. Iceland (Avalugg) (M) @ Leftovers Shiny: Yes Trait: Sturdy EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SDef Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk) - Rapid Spin - Roar/Earthquake - Avalanche - Recover This thing is the really bulky thing we got, in matters of Defence. Porygon2 is also quite bulky but we rely more on this walking North Pole in defence. Block, heal, and go. Also good for removing hazards and roaring setters. Avalanche can do quite some damage if it took a hit if it survives. Picked Ice Body right now since Sturdy is useless most of the times and Abomasnow has a standars hailstorm with it. Feel free to change it to sturdy. Other advise is changing Leftovers to Rocky Helmet if needed. Canon (Genesect) @ Choice Scarf Shiny: Yes Trait: Download EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd Naive Nature (+Spd, -Def) - Iron Head - U-turn - Extreme Speed - Ice Beam Yes, this is an Ubers Pokémon in Inverted Battle. Reason? It's typing sucks for Inverted. Outspeeds anything that isn't scarfed and download can give it a nice boost in (Special)Attack. That's the only reason I placed Ice Beam with it. Iron Head can give nice damage with a STAB and +1 Attack boost and has a nice chance to flinch the target. Works great aroun Mega Obamasnow (Abomasnow) (M) @ Abomasite Shiny: Yes Trait: Soundproof EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 248 SAtk Quiet Nature (+SAtk, -Spd) - Blizzard - Ice Shard - Giga Drain - Toxic/Earthquake Oba- ehm Abomasnow is yet again another Ice type. But here in Inverted Battle it's Christmas all day with Ice types being OP as hell. With a hailstorm created by the Mega's ability Blizzard will always hit and can sure 1HKO an Avalugg. Giga Drain should be able to take Pokémon like Dragonite, Genesect and Serperior. Ice Shard is there so it can speed out some mons (This fatass is really slow) Starlord (Porygon2) @ Eviolite Shiny: Yes Trait: Download EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SAtk Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Recover - Tri Attack - Discharge - Toxic I can't be more obsessed about a Pokémon called Porygon-Z. I just love it and it's my favorite of them all. I love the whole line actually, since they are all Porygon. But that isn't the only reason why this badass over here is in the squad. This Pokémon saved me like every battle? Nah just kidding. I present you one of the best out there, Porygon2. Eviolite makes it really bulky and Download can boost it's Special Attack (What you really want). Your opponents are pretty doomed without a Special wall like Chansey cause this thing goes pretty much loose if it keeps it's Eviolite. Don't use toxic on subbers like Meloetta and try to switch out of it, since it most of the times sets up Calm Mind. Spoiler: THREATS THREATHS: - Chansey: Blocks my Special Attackers, gives them a status condititon and heals itself with the cicle continuing. This Pokémon is annoying as hell and hard to get rid off without removing the Eviolite. - Avalugg: This fatass pretty much blocks alot of my mons, removes SR and heals. But this Pokémon should be a too big problem with Weavile and Oba- ehm Abomasnow in our team. - Gliscor: With some bulky stats and Poison Heal this is one of the most annoying Pokémon I came across. It subs when it has the chance, poisons you and lets the slaughtering begin. Oh, and it can also roost if you didn't know yet. I advise you to roar it out or kill it when you still have the chance. - Ditto: Since alot of my Pokémon can boost, this pink blob likes to jump in my slaying session. It's really annoying, just try to block and kill it asap. - Mega Lopunny: Typing makes it annoying to hit and it has some great stats. Outspeeds allmost all my Pokémon and has powerfull STAB on moves like Fake-Out, High Jump Kick and Return. Avalugg could take it and try to Avalanche it. - Wobbuffet: You just don't want to battle this annoying guy. Shadow Tag traps your Pokémon, Encore makes it hold to 1 move only and Counter/Mirror Coat/Destiny Bond most of the times takes your Pokémon down. For now I advise to sit down and pray to Lord Bidoof to save you. - Serperior: Becomes very dangerous after using Leaf Storm with Contrary boost. Alot of my Pokémon can outspeed it, if it isn't scarfed Meloetta: It's normal typing makes it a great Inverted Warrior but also dangerour to the team. Can Sub and Calm Mind which is a dangerous set which needs to be avoided at any costs. Try to kill this popstar as soon as possible TACTICS: I advise to start offensive with this team right from when you have the chance to. When looking to the info above, you could be able to make something out of it. I didn't get to play with this team much yet, but I believe this is the best one I made so far. Mostly Genesect and Weavile should help the team furthur. Feel free to try it out and keep it if you like it ;).

I'd appreciate comments alot to improve it furthur. Thanks for reading and feel free to use it. Current PS ranking: (PO ladder is dead :/) Wins: 21 Losses: 1
cool team, i think it's good but i got a few comments on it. first of all, your team is a lot more weak to meloetta than u think and i believe it warrants a spot on ur threatlist. - i personally recommend removing the spatk evs from p2 and throw them in bulk, and switching from download to trace, that way u can take on serperior and lopunny better, and with trace u can beat gliscor 1v1 by tracing poison heal, it can also trace some pretty useful things like multiscale, natural cure etc. and to mitigate the meloetta problem, i recommend u change the moveset to twave (for serperior) OR toxic for p2's, tri attack, recover and psyshock (yes), psyshock will always break meloetta's sub and bail u out vs it pretty easily. - lightning rod > solid rock on rhyperior, usually solid rock is better but this is inverted. - sturdy > ice body on avalugg, i know u have hail but sturdy can come in clutch often for a last ditch roar vs something like an out of control serperior or something. and finally it's a small nitpick, naive> hasty on genesect so in case you're not using espeed u could survive a random quick attack or something hope i helped
Thanks for reviewing my team! I really aprreciate it. I think I can do something with the tips you gave me. Never tried Lightning Rod on Rhyperior (Which seems to be useless in normal battle), but it makes Rhyperior immune to super effective Electric-type moves, so I guess it's a good thing to add.
BTW, I just noticed that Genesect can only run Extreme Speed with Hasty nature for some reason, so too bad.
Just gonna throw that Solid Rock is more useful than Lightning Rod because of the dominant aspect of Normal moves in Inverted. It helps Rhyperior takes a hit from Dnite/Meloetta etc and potentially Roaring a +1 Meloetta out, so there's no issue on here. Tripple ice doesn't help you a lot and I believe you can play a lot more interesting stuff over Abomasnow or Weavile. I personally would remove Aboma and replace it with something like Gastrodon, Goodra AV or even Quagsire spe def unaware so you beat Serperior, Meloetta a bit easier. Quagsire Spe def with Curse Earthquake and a maybe Waterfall can defenitely help you out vs big threats such as Lopunny, Serp, Gliscor etc who seemed to worry you until then. If you really want a Mega you can remove maybe Weavile for the quag, but this is really only a suggestion. Hope I helped you a bit
Hey, thanks alot for your review and tips! I sure am willing to remove Abomasnow. I've been battling alot now, the team is ok but Abomasnow seems to have not as much impact as the others. I think I might want to use Quagsire in my team to test it out a bit. I could also remove Weavile for Mega-Beedrill btw, since they are both great attackers and Beedrill is even faster.
