[32 / 3 / ?]
So I'm sitting in my college English class, and a kid that I associate with from time to time sees me playing Showdown. Long story short, he likes pokemon. He challenged me. It's happening monday at 1900. I have until then to design a team to beat him with. I could just use OU: The Team, but I want to beat him in style. I've got somewhat of a strategy, but I want /vp/'s input here. He actually plays a little bit of competitive, so I'm not sure how much I can get away with. I want to flinchh4x as much as humanly possible, so I'm going to need a lot of para support, plus the standard things like Dunsparce, Togakiss, a skill-link king's-rocker (Closter, probably, but Cinccino is always hilarious), and the like. I'm at loss for what to use for reliable para support though. I'm primarily nu, so Ampharos comes to mind, but I don't know if there are better options out there. Any help would be awesome, and suggestions for shit I can troll with are appreciated. I've considered FEAR Phanpy and other shenanigans, though I'm not sure how much I really want to risk. Pic related.

>>13082871 I have no problem with using OU. I just don't want to go in there with SMOGON CONFIRMED top 6 threat list, y'know?
>>13082893 Christ in heaven I had completely forgotten
about that. If I don't do that now I will for sure later.
>>13082829 I might do that if I can fit in toxic spike support

Prankster Sableye, Murkrow or Liepard are fun, as well as prankster roar + copycat Riolu, just make sure you have as many hazards set up as possible and have no hazards on your end. Contrary Spinda if you feel you can pull it off. Maybe Psycho Shift Latias with Toxic Orb to pass statuses to his team. Or use the standard Sygilyphf flame orb Psycho shift I don't know it's been a while since I competitive

>>13082966 Riolu might work. I don't think he's smart enough to set up hazards.
psychoshifting won't work if I'm trying to paraflinch, but with all of the suggestions I'm getting I might just switch up my strategy all together.
Spinda might just have to earn a place.
>>13082952 I'm trying to figure out how this works, exactly. endure to 1 hp, then use the speed boost to sweep with reversal?

>>13083075 Yup. Unburden lets you outspeed generally everything but scarfed Terrakion in OU, and the Liechi berry boosts your attack. At one hp Reversal gets 200 base power + STAB.

>>13083167 Thought about it. I've had some success in the past passing Ninjask boosts to Scizor, and then boosting with Scizor instead of sweeping when they panic switch, then passing to something silly like Mawile.

>>13083185 >what is sarcasm To clarify, when I said style, I meant I want to troll the ever loving fuck out of him and induce rage the likes of which have never been witnessed by man.
Or, you know, just use silly /vp/ shit.
