RMT RU Sceptile

In short words:

I like the team. RU is not a pretty played Tier, but it is funny and also gives life too many things that are really good and have a potential competitive side. The team looks solid, has synergy and gives possibilities to defeat the menaces that could hit other companions, like Arena Trap Dugtrio, that will close your opponent and give you some opportunities. Alomomola+Sceptile is a great core that help each other on their weakness and also you can abuse Sceptile's ability to get a SpA bonus. The team is complete, you also have a Spinner to prevent Hazards and also a possible stall base using your Types combination of Steel, Fight and Water (also considering the stats) to set Toxic on the enemy's team.

As all the teams you can be broken by some Pokémon. those that come to my mind actually are these: Specs Reuniclus ( Future Sight for the most of your team, where Alomomola takes 71.2% - 84% and Shadow Ball for Honedge and Delphox, always 0KO), Boomburst Exploud (Focus Blast for Honedge, Alomomola takes 67.2% - 79.2% from Boomburst), Specs Magneton (being Hitmontop and Honedge those that can take more than 1 hit, Hitmontop 69% - 81,2 and Honedge 82,2 - 91,1 both from Thunderbolt) an others that are lesser menace.

Obviously you can solve this with prediction and good playing, since your team have some possibilities based on Out speeding or Power. For example Shadow Claw Honedge takes 66.9% - 79.2% from Specs Reuniclus.

So, personally I could say that your team makes sense, and the way to play could be because of hax, miss prediction or being defeated by a better player.

Giving suggestions to this team could cover some possible weakness, but will add others and you could be doing this for the rest of the current metagame, or just improve on your playing to know your team and prevent any menace.

So, here is my opinion, I hope this works for you and if you didn't like it you can always wait for other opinions from other competitive players.

Thank you for reading my opinion!​

 

This team looks absolutely solid and the Alomomola/ M-Sceptile combination is stunningly good, especially if you can catch a player off guard using an electric move. I would watch out for specs/metronome Exploud. With moves like overheat, boomburst and focus blast, it can easily come in as a revenge killer, only being one shot by your m-sceptile. But seeing as though both delphox and dugtrio can outspeed exploud also and do massive damage, I wouldn't worry about him to much. Just proceed with caution.

I also personally wouldn't use toxic on Alomomola. With its incredible bulk already and access to scald as a solid way for a burn, I would replace toxic with Calm mind, so potentially sweeping opponents with Luvdiscs evolution (though not really) can be possible. Calm mind would make it that much more bulky, and in the event it is dying, switching will just replenish the health along with the wish protect combination which is huge.

Overall a great looking team with an excellent core, and would be hard for even experienced players to take down if they don't predict correctly.

 

I recommend adding the Exportable with the modifications that you do. It is a little deatil, but you are helping the player to have a faster acces to the modifications that you do .

Alomomola @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 120 HP / 136 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Scald
- Wish
- Protect
- Calm Mind/Toxic

Sometimes it is needed to have Toxic on Alomomola, since it can take a good amount of hits. Rnning Calm Mind is a really good option since you are already running Toxic on Hitmontop, that is a Pokémon that doesnt have to much problems to set Toxic on the opponent (enough Special Defense). Toxic is a tool to put limits to a sweeper that has a possible opportunity to set up and be a risk, so spamming with Protect after setting Toxic is a good option and even more if the sweepers doesn't count with a high amount of Hp (maybe it received damage before, hazzards, etc)
