TicklePass Team? What's This? Please Rate!

This is by far the most interesting team that i've ever devised :) so watch and be amazed noobies!



Infernape @ Focus Sash
Ability: Blaze
EV's: 64 Attk, 252 SpAttk, 192 Spd
Naive Nature
Fake Out
Fire Blast
Close Combat
Stealth Rock

- Standard Leadape. Basically there to fake out and set up ricks. Does sometimes get some damage in :)



Tentacruel @ Leftovers
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EV's: 252 HP, 120 Def, 136 SpDef
Calm Nature
Rapid Spin
Toxic Spikes
Surf
Hidden Power Electric

- Send this in after Ape to rid myself of any rocks or spikes i get from common leads such as Azelf, Swampert, Infernape, Heatran, and Metagross. If there is no need for rapid spin, i go ahead and set up some of my own spikes :)



Umbreon @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
EV's: 252 HP, 178 Def, 80 SpDef
Bold Nature
Moonlight
Tickle
Mean Look
Baton Pass

- This is the main focus of my team. This pokemon is hard to counter, Even against a CB scizor, a very huge threat to umbreons. The strategy is to use mean look to trap them in and tickle them to death, healing as needed. once all of my tickling is finished, I baton pass into one of two pokemon, depending one what my opponent has out.



Ninjask @ Focus Sash
Ability: Speed Boost
EV's: 252 Spd, 252 Attk, 4 Def
Jolly Nature
Aerial Ace
X-Scissor
Baton Pass
Swords Dance

- This is the main reason why getting rid of the rocks is so important. I don't want to break the focus sash. This is one of the two pokemon I like to switch into off of umbreon's BP. However, I only switch into this pokemon if the pokemon my opponent has out is a physical attacker that doesn't counter ninjask. after that, i set up as many swords dances as I can before I'm forced to baton pass out.



Salamence @ Yache Berry
Ability: Intimidate
EV's: 80 HP, 252 Attk, 178 Spd
Jolly Nature
Dragon Dance
Roost
Dragon Claw
Earthquake

- This is my second option to pass out to from umbreon. I only pass out to this if the pokemon is a special attacker or counters ninjask. It's a fairly bulky set, so i can easily set up while my opponent does very minuscule damage to me. My opponent will start getting really panicked because the defense of the opponent's pokemon is at easy OHKO range, so they'll think I'm going for the KO while i'm really setting up.



Scizor @ Leftovers
Ability: Technician
EV's: 200 HP, 252 Attk, 56 Spd
Adamant Nature
Pursuit
Superpower
Bullet Punch
X-Scissor

- This is who ninjask passes into. You may be wondering why this thing has niether choice band nor Swords dance, but you see Ninjask provides that, plus more. If ninjask sets up 3 swords dances and gets 3 speed boosts, it's enough to OHKO every pokemon in existence and outspeeds even a scarfed heracross. A true force not to be messed with.

I'm open to any suggestions :)

hmm,if umbreon get;s killed,a dragon with earthquake and a fire move will kill you.glicor can also wall you if tenat dies.heatran also damages your team if it has dragon pulse for mence.you also don't have much against rotoms.i like this team :)


not a good rate at all,but meh.
advece is free and you don't have to take it

yes, you do have a point, but in all of the times i've battled with this team, umbreon's gotten killed once because of a crit, also, tran is not a problem, i have tenta, ape, and scizor to deal with that. besides, most trans r used for leads these days and look wat my lead is... also, you won't see many rotoms in a wifi metagame...

You have a point,but what if it's a scarfed tran?And ape get's killed first round?

... ape is sashed... close combat is an easy OHKO...

i mean what if tran comes in later in the battle,when ape is dead.

then i have tenta and zor

Tenta might be able to take an earth power,but zor might die if tran uses fire blast or flatmrower.

tran won't get a chance to attack if zor has 3 speed boosts and 3 SD's up...
