"The ultimate Ally-Chaining team."


First off, I would like to thank /u/Metarkrai, /u/tralinar, /u/AnonymousTrollLloyd, and anyone else that I bounced ideas off of. You guys and your suggestions/critiques are in part responsible for the resulting team.This post will be written assuming you already know the mechanics of Ally-Chaining.The team consists of three Smeargles, a Parasect, and one of three different sweepersHere are the sets:Leading is the Setup Smeargle:Smeargle @ Leftovers Ability: Own Tempo Nature: Jolly/Timid EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spe - Ingrain - Block - Double Team - Baton Pass Next you have the Soak Swipe Smeargle:Smeargle @ Leppa Berry Ability: Own Tempo Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe - Soak - False Swipe - Recycle - Baton Pass Now you have your Swap Sweeper:(Choose one or more of the three that best matches up against the pokémon you will be chaining)Smeargle @ Leppa Berry Ability: Own Tempo Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe - Skill Swap - Aerial Ace - Recycle - Baton Pass Spinda @ Leppa Berry Ability: Own Tempo Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe - Skill Swap - Feint Attack - Recycle - Baton Pass Mr Mime @ Leppa Berry Ability: Technician Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe - Skill Swap - Aerial Ace - Recycle - Baton Pass This is your chain ender:Smeargle @ Leppa Berry Ability: Own Tempo Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spe - Gastro Acid - Spore - Recycle - Baton Pass And finally you have the Bomb Squad:Parasect @ Leftovers / Big Root Ability: Damp Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe - Leech Life - False Swipe - Worry Seed - Spore This team can:Potentially obtain infinite chains through use of Leppa Berries and RecycleCheck for HA with Skill SwapRemove Ghost types' immunity to False Swipe via SoakRemove Grass types' immunity to Spore via SoakRemove problematic abilities via Gastro AcidBlock Teleporters from escapingDeal with Pokémon that use moves like Roar/Circle Throw by setting up Ingrain and passing itDeal with Pokémon that spam moves like Minimize or Sand Attack by using a never miss move on your sweeperDeal with Exploding Pokémon (However you must use Damp Parasect for this and you cannot obtain an infinite chain or conveniently check for HA with Parasect Worry Seed fixes this! :D)Notes and Explanations:A chain team will consist of Setup Smeargle, Soak Swipe Smeargle, Sweeper of choice, and Chain Ending Smeargle. This leaves two slots for for any Pokémon desired by the trainer. Remember to tailor your team to best suit the Pokémon you will be chaining.You will want to be a significantly higher level than whatever Pokémon you are chaining. This will ensure that you always move first, can KO them easily, and take plenty of hits that will be recovered with ingrain.Ingrain provides HP regen that can be Baton Passed to the other teammates. Ingrain also prevents the opponent from blowing you away with moves like Roar.Double Team is used instead of Minimize because certain opponent's moves like Stomp and Body Slam will never miss and deal boosted damage after you use Minimize.Don't worry, Blocked Teleporters won't start Struggling until they use up their 20PP of Teleport. Block prevents escape, not the move.Aerial Ace and Faint Attack were chosen for the sweepers because they are the only two "never miss" moves that that no Pokémon are immune to.Lol, Spinda and Mr Mime are actually useful for something now. They are listed because they have better stats than Smeargle and can learn the same moveset.The "X" battle items are useful if you think you need more durability or striking power. Their buffs can be Baton Passed as well.Good resources for obtaining the above Pokémon are Bulbapedia, Serebii, and Pokémon DatabaseIf you have questions or criticisms, feel free to respond in the comments. I'll do my best to respond and if the team can be improved I will update the main post. via /r/pokemon http://ift.tt/2fBQvU8
