Team started off with Jirachi, Celebi, Scizor, and Flygon, 4 good Pokemon with U-Turn which I hoped would be able to hold off my opponent for my last 2 Pokemon. I mostly threw this team together on whim and I think it needs a LOT of improvement.
Jirachi @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- U-turn
- Ice Punch
- Stealth Rock
- Iron Head
---
Stealth Rock and Iron Head standard fare for leads. Ice Punch due to the fact that I'm sorely lacking in Ice Attacks and with it I can take down a Dragon locked into Outrage. U-Turn to reduce predicting.
Scizor (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Superpower
- Pursuit
---
Life Orb to hopefully not get locked into a move. With help from Tyranitar's Sand Stream, hopefully it'll be enough to knock off enough HP to make up for the difference with Bullet Punch.
Celebi @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP/220 Def/36 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- U-turn
- Grass Knot
- Recover
- Hidden Power [Fire]
---
HP Fire because I sorely lacked Fire moves, and serves as a good lure for Scizor. Grass Knot because its primary purpose is to counter Gyarados. Hopefully U-Turn catches Tyranitar on the switch.
Flygon (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Outrage
- U-turn
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
---
Again, sorely needed Fire attacks so Fire Blast is there, hopefully I'm able to predict a Steel switch in. Good coverage with its attacks, and mostly I'll be U-Turning in the early game.
Tyranitar (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Crunch
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Pursuit
---
My answer to Latias. I dunno, I didn't put a whole lot of thought into this one. Mainly I also needed an answer to non-scarf Heatran and Rotom as well, so I made due with Tyranitar.
Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 156 HP/72 Atk/96 Def/184 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Stone Edge
- Taunt
---
Defensive Gyarados. Fire resistance, Ground immunity, and Intimidate was the main reason I chose Gyarados as it serves to threaten and power down Physical threats such as Salamence and Lucario, as well as opposing Gyarados.
Well, here's the weakness/resistance chart:
As you can see, I have at least 2 immunities/resistances for every type, which hopefully can amount to something in the long run.
I think I might have something with a combination of Pokemon like this. Maybe 4 U-Turners is a bit excessive on top of that, but that's why I posted this here, so that someone can HOPEFULLY help me fine-tune this team. Thanks if you can, hopefully I've done all the formatting and comments right to warrant this stays open.
