Hey all,
Looking for feedback on this offense team I made. This is the team I am currently using on the ladder and am having fun with it. This team is centred around the Mega Gyara/Tflame core with pretty much a bunch of op mons around them. Lets get into the team.
Talonflame @ Leftovers
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 88 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def / 164 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Roost
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
Talonflame creates a great core with Mega Gyarados because it eliminate checks for it such as Conkeldurr, Ferrothorn and Keldeo. I chose the SD leftys set to put at much pressure onto the enemy as possible early to create more of an opportunity for Gyarados to sweep later.
Gyarados @ Gyaradosite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Crunch
- Earthquake
Again, Gyarados synergies really well with Talonflame, eliminating/setting up on threats like Tyranitar and Hippo that Talonflame struggles against. The set i chose is the standard DD +3 attacks set to sweep late game with.
Latias (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Defog
- Roost
Because Talonflame is 4x weak to Steal Rocks and normal Gyarados is 2x weak to them, i needed a spinner/defogger to remove entry hazards. I chose Lati because it provides the team with decent damage and defog support, which is better than rapid spin. It also isn't a momentum killer like other spinners and defoggers can be. I chose roost over Healing Wish because i need Lati to switch into hits from Rotom-W and Deldeo that other members cannot.
Garchomp @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 HP / 164 Def / 76 SpD / 16 Spe
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Dragon Tail
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
Looking at the team so far it was obvious that it has a weakness to pursuit trappers like Tyranitar and Bisharp, so i decided to put TankChomp on the team to deal with these and also provide my own team with Stealth Rock. The set it pretty standard however Toxic can be run instead of Fire Blast.
Tornadus-Therian (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 132 HP / 160 SpA / 216 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hurricane
- Heat Wave
- Knock Off
- U-turn
I decided to put Torn-T on the team because it is really solid pivot that can become incredibly annoying to deal with. This set provides good coverage and gives the team a mon that can switch in on special attacks and use regenerator to heal it off.
Azumarill @ Assault Vest
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 240 HP / 252 Atk / 16 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Waterfall
- Aqua Jet
- Knock Off
- Play Rough
I was browsing through the threat list and saw that my team has no counter to the all out attacking set of Mega Altaria. Hence my last team member. The assault vest gives it the SpDef to switch in on most special threats that don't deal super effective damage and whilst the attack Evs continue to make it a strong attacker.
Thats the team, let me know what you think could be improved bellow. I appreciate all the feedback in advance.
