This an BL Team rate which has the purpose to beat an OU team. The attack sets are basic, some fourth moves aren't filled in yet, those attacks are quite filler so I'm unsure about them. The real problem in this team is: there is no 6th Pokémon. Here are the teammembers listed, at the end there is some theory about the lest pokémon.
1. Hypno
- Psychic
- Thunder Wave
- Hypnosis
-
2. Cloyster (5)
- Blizzard
- Hyper Beam
- Explosion
- Double Edge
3. Dodrio (4)
- Drill Peck
- Body Slam
- Hyper Beam
-
4. Dugtrio (5)
- Earthquake
- Slash
- Rock Slide
-
5. Raichu (4)
- Thunderbolt
- Thunder Wave
- Surf
- Body Slam / Submission
6. ?
First things first: you see my team has 3 pokémon who are weak to the boltbeam combination. This may cause problems, so I think my last pokémon needs to be quite resistant to boltbeamers.
A smaller problem: only one sleeper, he uses Hypnosis, and he is my lead.
But there is another major problem: I listed all of the OU pokémon and tried to find counters to it, from the pokémon I have in my team. Most of them are countered by two of my pokémon, but some aren't.
Here's the list, in spoilers the ones who already have two counters, below the ones who only have one counter. You will notice some names are between brackets, those Pokémon can seriously hurt the opponent, but won't be able to switch in safely.
Counters to:
Alakazam = Dodrio, Dugtrio,
Eggy = Dodrio, Cloyster,
Gengar = Dugtrio, Dodrio,
Golem/Rhydon = Cloyster, Hypno, (Raichu)
Articuno = Raichu, Cloyster,
Jolteon = Dugtrio,
Chansey = Dugtrio, (Dodrio)
Zapdos = Raichu, (Dugtrio)
Starmie = Raichu, (Cloyster),
Lapras = Raichu,
Snorlax = Cloyster,
Tauros/Persian = Cloyster,
As you can see: all of the pokémon I can't counter double, have electric or ice attacks. There are some possibilities like Kangaskan, but they have real low Special so they still are weak to Boltbeam. The only ones who seem to be able to deal these guys are Magneton, Fire-types and Clefable. But these are just too weak in my opinion.
Also note that if Raichu learns Submission, the normals would have another half counter, so the waters and electrics are more of a problem.
So my question: would another boltbeam weakness be possible to fill up this team with something like Venusaur (another sleeper), or do you think of an more or less Boltbeam-resistant who can join the team?
