So now that I've been nearing the end of the normal league. (And failing against Amy because lolsunvstworainsetters) I've been thinking about overhauling the team big time. I've come up with this team as a result.
@ Life Orb
Trait: Unnerve
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Taunt
So one of my major shortcomings early on in my league, I had no Rock Setter. I fixed this by putting a Rhyperior on my current team, but it's damned slow. So wynaut use a Aerodactyl? It's fast and hits hard. The biggest problem is that it doent get things like Head Smash to abuse the Rock Head ability so thats a downside
@ Burn Orb
Trait: Guts
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Drain Punch
- Mach Punch
- Bulk Up
- Earthquake
This is pretty much a first stab at using this, so I've decided to got with Guts+Toxic Orb. Why Toxic Orb? It's pretty damned bulky and has a very reliable STAB Drain Punch. So thats a good thing. The rest is mainly things that I put on because I have no clue as to what else to use.
@ Leftovers
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Waterfall
- Rain Dance
A classic Gen 4 set that makes Smogon cry. Rain Dance to throw things like Sandstorm and Sun off balance, as well as support some of the other members of the team.
@ Leftovers
Trait: Flame Body
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Quiver Dance
- Fiery Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Hurricane
Rain and Fire usually contradic oneanother, but Hurricane ALWAYS hits and thats enough to make me put Volcarona on the team. It's fast, a great special sweeper with great STAB and it gets Quiver Dance.
@ Leftovers
Trait: Contrary
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Leaf Storm
- Dragon Pulse
- Subsitute
- Hidden Power [Fire]
Sort of another special Sweeper. Not much is needed to say about this since nearly everyone knows what this is.
@ Life Orb
Trait: Mold Breaker
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Brick Break
This... I cant for the life of me actually decide why I wanted another Dragon Sweeper on my team, but it made it on the team so I think I should decide what to improve. DDance is obvious. That much I know.
@ Life Orb
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Aura Sphere
- Hidden Power [ice]
- Shadow Ball
YAY RAIKOU! It's one of my favorite pokemon to use in my teams, because it has a GODLY Special movepool! It's fast and hits alamingly hard with all of it's moves and can be a major threat against a lot of teams!
