Platinum Ain't So Bad. (An Olie/Thorns joint venture)

[Olie]

Bumping this thread because I have been testing this team and made pretty significant changes.

First off, put Flail over Return on Feraligatr. It is almost always <20%, so the boost really is significant. Throw Life orb on Machamp to get stronger hits with the chance to OHKO skarm (the ones I've faced anyway, i never did damage calcs), and replace Cressy with a defensive Porygon2 to have a better check against salamence and gyarados.

Otherwise the team works really well.

I think that as long as you are play-testing you should try out Zapdos instead of Porygon2. It really does combo well with Machamp. EV it to be specially defensive (so you can take STAB Draco Meteor) and you have very easily dealt with Salamence and Gyarados.

Zapdos is one to consider, since it does safely come in on Gyarados and Salamence, and nets some easy KOs. I kinda like porygon2 for the intimidate drop but I'll test both out.

 

[Thorns]

P2, huh? It kind of does replace Cressy quite well.

Made the changes.
