I wanted to make a new team that was fun, but at the same time was decent. I have seemed to have ok results with it, but it's lacking in some departments and just seems to be missing some stuff. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
Slaking @ Choice Band
Trait: Truant
Evs: 252 speed, 252 attack, 6 spdef
Adamant Nature
-Earthquake
-Fury Swipes
-Return
-Shadow Ball
Basic Slaking. I need a little more experience so I can make the wiser choice with his moves, but he definitely is fun and gets enough kills to be worth it. Fury swipes has gotten me numerous wins vs jolteons, ninjasks, even brelooms.
Gengar @ Lefties
Trait: Levitate
Evs: 80 Atk, 176 speed, 252 spatk
Mild Nature
-Destiny Bond
-Ice Punch
-Shadow Ball
-Thunderbolt
Main mixed attacker. Dbond is in there because it works. Ground, fighting, and normal immunity make him really valuable to me. :x
Magneton @ Leftovers
Trait: Magnet Pull
Evs: 138 speed, 252 spatk, 119 spdef.
Modest Nature
- Hp Grass
- Substitute
- Thunder Wave
- Thunderbolt
Boltbeam resistor. HP grass for swampert, obviously. Slaking will have humongous troubles with skarmory, so magneton is here to take skarm out, of course.
Swampert @ Lefties
Trait: Torrent
Evs: 252 Hp, 136 def, 122 spatk.
Relaxed Nature
- Earthquake
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Protect
Mixpert. The rock resistance is valuable ont his team, as is being a counter to non hp grassing electrics, salamence, and metagross. Hydro Pump proves to be extremely useful. Nothing out of the ordinary here. Swampert probably stays because it counters so many things beautifully.
Snorlax @ Leftovers
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 132 hp, 180 attack, 56 defense, 140 spdef
Careful Nature
-Double-Edge
- Earthquake
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
The useful sleep eater. My team was also low on special sponges as well as physical attackers. Snorlax is much better than blissey and celebi in that regard, so I chose him.
Tentacruel @ Leftovers
Trait: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 252 hp, 82 Attack, 152 speed, 20 spatk
Hasty Nature
- Haze
- Sludge Bomb
- Surf
- Toxic
Pretty much a general utility. I couldn't use weezing, becasue my team would have no water resistance. Tentacruel seemed fun. liquid ooze rocks. Sceptile is always happy to be twice as much down after a subseed chapade. I had to decide between haze and rapid spin here. I have no other pseudohazers, so haze was very important. Spikes are also taken out in general by maggy, anyway.
Basically, I like this team, but will change it up. Slaking stays, but most anything else can be messed with or be replaced.
