Hey i'm Irkkk (on smogon and Cap) but i've stopped going on smogon for LC. I also want to promote LC. Its fun and if you wanna try a new metagame try LC on Cap server.
TEAM BUILDING PROCESS
I wanted a lead that could set up rocks, had priority, and had a way to deal good damage with respectable attack. I am also running a scarfed trio. This trio does an incredible job!
ENTER: Phanpy
I then looked for a scarfer that could suicide when needed. I also needed the poke to be fast and have good stab'ed moves. Its also the first part of my scarfed trio.
ENTER: Voltorb
The second part of my scarfed trio had to be a very hard hitter. WIth a special attacker i wanted a physical one. I also wanted a useful ability to go with him.
ENTER: CRANIDOS
My 1st scarfer is a revenge killer and boomer while my second one does as much damage as possible so i wanted my third one to be able to cripple walls. But i wanted it to be able to do damage after losing the scarf .
ENTER: Gastly
I then looked for a sweeper. I enjoy using powerful sweepers with some bulk. I then found Gligar with 4 attacks and that had great coverage. SOOO....
ENTER: Gligar
I now looked for a reliable bulky poke that could also output damage. From my experience i KNOW that Munchlax MUST be on my team. Who else but him?
ENTER: Munchlax
FINAL PRODUCT:
So thats my team! Please rate it. If you find LC interesting go down to CAP server and get some help making your team. I can say most of the members there can help (well the LC players that is). So i hope this team is good.
Bye

THE LEADING BLUE ELEPHANT
Phanpy
@
Rollaphant or Rick'rolled
(Thanks Sunkirby for the cool name)
Ability: Pickup
EVs: 196 HP/196 Atk/116 Def
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
~Stealth Rock
~Protect/knock off- just used to take out enemmy items. Pretty useful
~Earthquake
~Ice Shard
---
Rollaphant starts off the battle with an immediate win. His cute rating will own the opposing lead. His job is to either kill the opposing lead or get rocks up. He is most effective against fake out leads because he can kill them easily but he won't get rocks up. I don't have rocks as my first priority. To me, killing an annoying fakeout lead is very important. I'll set up rocks if there is time.
NICKNAME:
He's and elephant and he rolls, whoooo rollaphant!
THE SPEEDY POKE BALL/MON
Voltorb

Ability: Static
EVs: 36 Atk/236 Spd/236 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
~Explosion
~Thunderbolt
~Hidden Power [Ice]
~Thunder Wave

Voltorb is commonly seen as a rain dance starter. But he also functions well as a revenge killer. With T-bolt and HP ice being only resisted by chinchou he can do great damage to unsuspecting pokes. Explosion is the main point of Voltorb. Being the fastest scarfer in LC he can come in on a major problem and boom goes the dynamite. Even with around 11 attack, boom in LC does crazy damage.
NICKNAME:
Well as we can all see, voltorb is an electric type and he looks like a testicle soooo ELECTRICAL TESTI it is :D
THE UBER POWERFUL HARD HEAD
Cranidos
Overkill
@
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 236 Atk/236 Spd/36 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
~Earthquake
~Zen Headbutt
~Superpower
~Head Smash

Cranidos is the second scarfer of my scarfed trio. Cranidos is also the strongest physical poke on my team and he really packs a punch. With his EV's he outspeeds scarfed chop and other scarfed pokes that reach 21 speed. Head smash for the raw power. It also gets stab which equals UBER DAMAGE. But the recoil is a draw back. Head smash is a double edged sword. EQ with mold breaker is win. EQ now hits gastly and bronzor. Zen headbutt for coverage but superpower as a filler. Maybe ice beam would be the better option.
NICKNAME:
Well cranidos has uber power and headsmash is just overkill. So his name is Overkill.

My 3rd and final part of my scarfed trio. This one however is used to lure in walls and tricks them to cripple them. His goal is to come in and force a switch. Most of the time a muchy will come in and he'll get my scarf and ill get the oran. I'll then HP fighting munchy and most of the time 2hko it while he pursuits doing around 70% and it'll activate my oran. I'll then KO with hp fighting. However if i don't, ill just come in with another sweeper and finish of the munchy. However if muncy is dead already Spookshire Jr. can function as a regular scarfer.
NICKNAME:
I've always been a fan of Marriland and he was the main reason i got into competitive pokemon battling. He had a Gengar named Spookshire and being the pre-evolution of Gengar i gave him Jr after Spookshire.
THE WEIRD FLYING SCORPION BAT THINGY
Gligar

Ability: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 236 Atk/236 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
~Earthquake
~Aqua Tail
~Night Slash
~Stone Edge
Gligar is almost used on most teams for a reason. He has great defense. average HP, good attack, good speed, and a great movepool. What more would you want? With these four attacks, he has almost perfect coverage. He murders many of the common sweepers in LC. He also ties with all 19 speed pokes. Only elekid, voltorb. and Diglett outspeed him. With great typing and awesome stats he is a force to be feared. Life Orb for more damage.
NICKNAME:
I really couldn't think of a cool name so SSBBM came up with Ragil. It sounds cool and is Gligar backwards without the G. Isn't that cool?

What can i say? Munchlax is plain Munchlax. He does many jobs. He's just to good to describe in a few sentences. His job is to kill special attackers but he can also take hits from a +1 dratini and gligar. Once he took out dratini AND gligar. But with oran berry of course. With thick fat he's even harder to kill. HE takes HP ice like a beast. No i should say like a god. I don't run pursuit. Munchy doesn't need it. Most gastly try to sub and hypnosis. But every time they sub i break it. Ice punch already does in the seventies so if they sub they'll be in KO range for my ice punch. With ice punch i can counter gligar and dratini with ease. He is the glue of my team. Without him, My team just falls apart. Fire punch for coverage against steels like bronzor, EQ to own other steels and fire types and for coverage. Body slam > return because 30% paralyze is just too good to pass. In LC one parahax can ruin a team.
