Hello Smogon community! I am a brand new to competitive battling and over the course of researching and getting help from friends I created a team, but before I breed and train the team I want to know everyones opinions of it. If you have any suggestions at all please feel free to reply and if you have any tips on breeding/ev training/battling/ect. that would also help! Thank you! (P.S. doublade with eviolite I thought of myself and I am not sure if it could be viable or not but I think it could be really good.)
Lucario Life Orb
w/ adamant nature and justified ability
252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spd
Close Combat
Sword Dance
Extreme Speed
Crunch/Ice punch/Iron Tail
I picked Lucario because 1 he is my favorite pokemon and 2 His physical sweep game is prime or so I have heard. I have close combat for STAB and major damage to other fighting types. Sword dance to set up a full unstopable sweeping. Extreme Speed in tight situations regarding speed. Then I do not know which to choose for my last move.
Garchomp @ Focus Sash
w/ Jolly nature and Rough Skin ability
252 Atk/4 Hp/252 Spd
Stealth Rock
Earthquake
Outrage
Fire Blast
I chose Garchomp as another sweeper. It seems he requires less set up than lucario. I gave him focus sash so I can get off a stealth rock if it is required without getting 1HKO. I chose earthquake for it is a big STAB move in his moveset. Outrage and Fire Blast as type coverage.
Espeon @ Light Clay
w/ Timid nature and Magic Bounce ability
252 Hp/4 Def/252 Spd
Light Screen
Reflect
Toxic
Yawn
Espeon is my set up and screen provider. With yawn i can get a free switch to my sweeper maybe even a chance to set up with one as well. Screen and reflect for defensive reasons and toxic if I need the status game rolling
Doublade @Eviolite
w/ Relaxed nature and No Guard ability
240Hp/ 252 Def/ 16 SpDef
Rest
Sleep Talk
Sacred Sword
Gyro Ball
0 iv's in Spd
Doublade would be my physical defensive wall. With eviolite and Evs in Def his stats should be high enough to withstand most physical moves. Rest to recover health and sleep talk so not completely useless while asleep.
Chandelure @Choice Scarf
w/Timid nature and Flash Fire ability
4 Def/ 252 SpAtk/ 252 Spd
Overheat
Shadow Ball
Hidden Power
Energy Ball
Chandelure is my Special Attack Sweeper. To switch in when predicting a fire move to be used on lucario or anyone else really. I chose the moveset for type coverage.
Rotom-Wash Leftovers
w/Calm nature and Levitate ability
252Hp/212 SpDef/44 Spd
Volt Switch
Hydro Pump
Will-o-Wisp
Pain Split
RWash is my Special Defense Wall. I found a mostly used moveset for him on smogon and thought it would work out well.
Please leave your opinions and tips below thank you! :)
