STEAMED OYSTERS
ABOUT ME
Hey , its the LordJet with probably my first real RMT since the old days of Serebii forums and PO. I haven't been active in tournaments since Gen 5 but I have always kept myself knowledgeable of the meta game of most tiers, but this Gen really makes me want to shake off the rust and begin climbing the ladder once again. Historically I've hated the UU Tier it has always been way to defensive and slow paced for my taste, but with Showdown now having UU as a playable tier, it seems UU has become substantially more aggro. With this new found interest in actually playing more often i present to all of you...ABOUT ME
THE TEAM
Cloyster @ Focus Sash
Ability: Skill Link
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Shell Smash
- Spikes
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast
The pokemon I've decided to build a team around, mainly due to it being a very powerful lead with spikes and its access to Shell Smash. The Set is fairly standard Shell Smash , Spikes , Icicle Spear and Rock Blast. I've Opt to run Rock Blast over Liquidation so i can hit pokemon like Jellicent and Araquanid Etc, basically bulky waters that want to switch into Cloyster. In certain situation you will not want to lead with Cloyster so he then can become a potent late game sweeper. Cloyster @ Focus Sash
