Manaphy @ Leftovers
Ability: Hydration
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Tail Glow
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Energy Ball

The key player of my team Manaphy. Ice beam allows Manaphy to deal with many threats in the OU metagame like gliscor and lando-T. Energy ball allows manphy to deal with bulky water types that would normally wall manaphy. Scald hits anything that does not resist it hard. The infamous Tail Glow boosts manaphy SpA 3 levels and can turn manaphy into a power threat.

Mega Venusaur allows me to deal with grass types like Breloom and Celebi. The previously mentioned pokemon are key checks to manaphy. Mega venusaur also resists electric, another weakness of manaphys. Manaphy can deal with ground types and fire types that threaten venusaur.

Chansey @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD
Bold Nature
- Toxic
- Soft-Boiled
- Seismic Toss
- Heal Bell

Chansey is infamous for its special bulk and i need a way to take special bulk so for my sixth pokemon i chose chansey. The rational for this was that chansey can deal with special threats and can offer heal bell support.

Thank You for reading my team.

Hi there, welcome to Smogon! Unfortunately I'll have to lock this as your descriptions are rather lacking and not up to the standard required by the RMT rules. You need to provide in-depth descriptions for each Pokemon to explain your choices and their roles. Please read the rules carefully and take a look at other RMTs and the RMT archive to see the kind of detail and format we require before posting a thread here. PM me with updated descriptions and I'll be happy to unlock this.
