| I was peicing together a random team that made use of scarf latias (that thing is Uber!) and some other pokemon, and it turned out to be a pretty good team. Although i do do have 2 major weaknesses, ghost and dark. Well, here it is (oh and btw, there are 3 pokemon with levitate ability, that's where the name comes from): Mamoswine@Focus Sash
Nature: Adamant Ability: Snow Cloak Ev's: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Moveset:
Endeavor Earthquake Stealth Rock Ice Shard
This is an amazing lead if you can predict well, and you know the opponent's speed. If you know they are faster, endeavor and ice shard finishes them off. If you are faster, you can set up stealth rock on your 1st turn. earthquake is there for lead heatrans and lead gross's.--- Jirachi@Expert Belt Nature: Naive Ability: Serene Grace Ev's: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Moveset:
Iron Head Fire Punch Thunder Bolt Grass Knot
Rachi resists all of Latias's weakness's, and can be a great lure-in to any threat like: Gyrados, Scizor,Swampert, ect... Ice punch is not here because of Latias, as she outspeeds everything in the game (that's not already boosted or scarfed)--- Latias@Choice Scarf
Nature: Modest Ability: Levitate Ev's: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Moveset:
Draco-Meteor Surf Dragon Pulse Trick
This is a beast set. Outspees a +1 dd Salamence and KO's with Draco Meteor. Surf is for heatrans when i predict, or any steel type that i know that i can resist. This is also weak to Dark/Ghost type moves/pokemon.--- Infernape@Choice Band
Nature: Jolly Ability: Blaze Ev's: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Moveset:
Close Combat Flare Blitz Stone Edge U-Turn
I had problems takeing down special walls after lucario died, so i have this guy as a back up. With a little prediction this guy can be deadly. He can destroy blissys (which was my main purpose of having this guy), and, he can OHKO almost any pokemon in the game. The only downside is that if i close combat on a ghost type, they get a free switch in, and since i have a frail team, they are going to die.--- Rotom-W@Choie Specs
Nature: Timid Ability; Levitate Ev's: 48 HP / 252 Sp. Atk / 208 Spe
Moveset:
Thunder Bolt Hydro Pump Shadow Ball Trick
Choice Specs Rotom-W. WIth its big movepool, comes massive coverage. You may say i'm walled by steels, but thunder bolt hits them hard, and i'm pulky enough to take a hit or two--- Lucario@Life Orb
Nature: Adamant Ability: Inner Focus Ev's: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Moveset:
Swords Dance Crunch Close Combat Extreme Speed
This is probably the most important team member. It can KO any ghost/dark type(exept for dusknoir) with either crunch or Dark Pulse. I don't really know what else ot say, other than it is a LO sweeper.Because i'm so nice, i'll give you guys the threat list i came up with while testing my team!
Tyranitar: This thing almost always carries either pusuit or crunch, making my life miserable. Latias can't OHKO it with Surf, and Parygon-Z is too frail to hit it if it gets up a DD while i switch in to him. The only way i'm usually able to stop him is with cress, and have her toxic stall it, then switch into luke.
Gengar: Sometimes a threat if i lose the speed tie with my latias and it is scarfed modest too, but other than that, i can usually guess that it will use shadow ball on my pokemon. If it is LO, then we have a problem.I havn't tested ou what a draco-meteor does too it, but i hope i OHKOs it, cuz latias is the only thing fast enough to kill it.
Weavile:The only time this thing has been a problem for me is when it is a swords dance sweeper. It is faster than anything besides my latias, and it has a move that could take out every one of my team members. When i send out latias, and it has one swords dance up, t can kill me with ice shard. If i send in Luke, it can survive 1 extremespeed and KO me with Brick Break. And all of my other pokemon are weak to Night Slash. The only thing that could probably wall it is cress, but i have never gotten the opportunity to try.Well, there you go! That's team Levitate! Thanks in advance for all of you who help out my team!

| No it should not! This is a Scarf Latias. There is absolutely no reason for it to use Calm Mind. | |

Great lead! Fits very well onto an offensive team like yours and can very easily get a kill. ---
Cresselia@Leftovers
Nature: Bold Ability: Levitate Ev's: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Moveset:
Toxic Protect Hidden Power Fire Moonlight
My own custome moveset. Toxic on anything and everything, HP fire hurts steel types (especally scizor). My defesive wall, and it draws in Ghost and Dark moves/pokemon, giving my a virtually free switch in to Luario.
Cresselia is out of place on an offensive team, not to mention mediocre at Toxistalling. It also adds to your Dark/Ghost weak, so mind telling what you were thinking in choosing this? Anyways, you don't want a wall. You want a sweeper or tank that offers useful resistances, and can counter Gyarados and Lucario which seems to be big threats to your team. You also said you have a problem with Weavile and Tyranitar right? No problem. I recommend a physical MixRachi.
Jirachi@Expert Belt Ability: Serene Grace Nature: Naive 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe -Iron Head -Fire Punch -Thunderbolt -Grass Knot
This thing adds a much-needed Rock resistances and makes a great partner to Latias, as she resists all his weaknesses. Furthermore, MixRachi also serves your purposes as a Gyarados/Scizor/Swampert lure and counter. You don't have a decently bulky team to take advantage of Toxic with Cresselia anyways, so you do not seem to be losing much by replacing her with Jirachi. Ice Punch is given up as Salamence and Gliscor can be dealt with by switching Latias in on the expected EQ, DD, or SD and then killing. Watch out for U-Turning Gliscor though! The Heatran problem is not much issue either, as again, you can easily switch Latias in. ---
Latias@Choice Scarf
Nature: Modest Ability: Levitate Ev's: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Moveset:
Draco-Meteor Surf Dragon Pulse Trick
This is a beast set. Outspees a +1 dd Salamence and KO's with Draco Meteor. Surf is for heatrans when i predict, or any steel type that i know that i can resist. This is also weak to Dark/Ghost type moves/pokemon.
This is your star. I see no reason to change or edit it. Instead, I will be building your team to accomodate Latias. ---
Porygon-Z@Silk Scarf (?)
Nature: Modest Ability: Download Ev's: 70 HP / 252 SpA / 188 Spe
Moveset:
Agility Dark Pulse Tri-Attack Hidden Power Fighting
This is an agility sweeper of prygon-z. The evs give it enough speed to our run a positive nature base 70 speed pokemon before the agility. After agility, it is faster than any nonscarfer in the game. It can out speed a timid choice scarf gengar, which will really help my team. This porygon-z is very important because it can take a shodow ball from a gengar, use the turn to agility up, then sweep. Dark pulse and Hidden Power Fighting are used to take out any Dark/Ghost threats, so i'm wondering if i should change the item to Life Orb instead of Silk Scarf. The ability, download, is if i predict really well. Adaptabilty won't help me much, and if i get a postiive boost on SpA, i will have a 605 SpA, combined with one agility, = massive sweep!
Few Gengars are Choiced. And all of them have Focus Blast. Porygon-Z will never be setting up on a Choiced Shadow Ball. However, I concede to this Pokemon. It pairs up great with Jirachi, who will lure in and kill the main revenge killers of Porygon-Z, opening the way for a sweep. It's not as frail as anyone thinks either, because I used to use one myself, so it should be able to set up. I see no need to change Porygon-Z.
---
Rotom-H@Leftovers
Nature: Calm Ability; Levitate Ev's: 252 HP / 168 SpD / 88 Spe
Moveset:
Will-O-Wisp Overheat Shadow Ball Thunder-Bolt
This rotom is a standard rotom-h tuned in to a SpD wall. I don't really need it on my team, as it adds to my dark/ghost weakness, but i like having the bulkiness and variety of moves it brings to my team. But, as i said before, i don't really need it, so if you guys have any other ideas, feel free to tell me!
Everyone expects Will-O-Wisp. There's really no point in using it anymore in my personal opinion. Instead, I find that the best way to use Rotom is to bring it in on something it threatens with WoW and then hitting an incoming switch-in with a hard Thunderbolt. What I am saying is, use Timid Choice Specs Rotom. You do need some instant power onto this team to defeat bulky waters and such, and Choice Specs Rotom provides the power needed while still handling all the threats you want it to, minus Tyranitar. But hey, with Lucario waiting in the wings, who cares if Tyranitar Pursuits you to death? Here's the set you may want to use
Rotom-W@Choice Specs Ability: Levitate Nature: Timid EVs: 48 HP/208 Spe/252 Sp. Atk. -Thunderbolt -Hydro Pump -Shadow Ball -Trick
I recommend that you use Rotom-W's Hydro Pump rather than Rotom-H's Overheat is because, well, Steels are already hit VERY hard by Thunderbolt and you have more of a problem with Grounds. Very good neutral coverage between Rotom's STAB moves, so he makes an excellent Choicer. ---
Lucario@Life Orb
Nature: Adamant Ability: Inner Focus Ev's: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Moveset:
Swords Dance Crunch Close Combat Extreme Speed
This is probably the most important team member. It can KO any ghost/dark type(exept for dusknoir) with either crunch or Dark Pulse. I don't really know what else ot say, other than it is a LO sweeper.
The star of this team right next to Latias. Again, I am not changing this.
Because i'm so nice, i'll give you guys the threat list i came up with while testing my team!
Tyranitar: This thing almost always carries either pusuit or crunch, making my life miserable. Latias can't OHKO it with Surf, and Parygon-Z is too frail to hit it if it gets up a DD while i switch in to him. The only way i'm usually able to stop him is with cress, and have her toxic stall it, then switch into luke.
Gengar: Sometimes a threat if i lose the speed tie with my latias and it is scarfed modest too, but other than that, i can usually guess that it will use shadow ball on my pokemon. If it is LO, then we have a problem.I havn't tested ou what a draco-meteor does too it, but i hope i OHKOs it, cuz latias is the only thing fast enough to kill it.

If i send in Luke, it can survive 1 extremespeed and KO me with Brick Break. And all of my other pokemon are weak to Night Slash. The only thing that could probably wall it is cress, but i have never gotten the opportunity to try.
Well, there you go! That's team Levitate! Thanks in advance for all of you who help out my team! I sincerely hope this helps. Good luck with your team Brawler, this is one of the most well-presented teams on SOS (although it could, admittedly, do much better but I am just very picky) and I want this to succeed. | |

| ?
The special walls are Blissey, Snorlax, Tyranitar, and Tentacruel right? Blissey and Tar is handled easily by Jirachi, Tentacruel can be beaten by Rotom, and Snorlax...oh fine, that is a problem. Anyways, I think the only thing that you might be able to do about it is swap out Porygon. I never thought it really fit into the team, and yet I can find no good replacements. | |

rachi is great at haxing, and rotom has been killing people with trick/choice specs hydro pump. Although i do miss the lack of fire moves on my team, and having only 1 ground move to is very tricky to play with. I think i will lean towards ape as a replacement for porygon-Z, he hasn;t been helping much. | |
