When Pokemon.com made an article about Ryan Arnold's Team, I immediately knew I wanted to use a Goodstuff team for this year's VGC. This team is similar to Ryan Arnold's, but with a few changes to make it my own.
Garchomp (Jolly) @ Yache Berry
Sand Veil
252 Attack/252 Speed/6 HP
Zapdos (Modest) @ Sitrus Berry
Pressure
140 HP/ 252 Sp. Attack/116 Speed
Chandelure (Modest) @ Focus Sash
Flash Fire
252 HP/252 Sp. Attack/6 Sp. Def
Abomasnow (Timid) @ Choice Scarf
Snow Warning
252 Sp. Attack/252 Speed/ 6 HP
Metagross (Adamant) @ Occa Berry
Clear Body
252 HP/ 252 Attack/ 6 Speed
Meteor Mash is the main move of choice here, as it has STAB and a high base power, all coming off of a all-mighty Attack stat of 205. Bullet Punch is to take out Weakened foes, and can damage pokemon in Trick Room. For coverage against Pokemon that resist its STAB attacks, such as Water-types, ThunderPunch is ready to 2HKO many threats to the team, including Politoed.
Hitmontop (Adamant) @ Life Orb
Technician
252 Attack/252 HP/6 Speed
Mach Punch + STAB + Technican Boost = Pure Destruction. Sucker Punch is for Psychic Types, and other pokemon I have trouble with.
So, that is my spin on Ryan Arnold's winning team. I would appreciate some help on it, so please do comment with suggestion.
