I have decided to try my hand at competitive battling and have created a team centered around Roserade that I would like to battle with. I was hoping people could take a look at it and give me advice on how to improve the team.
Roserade @ Life Orb
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Toxic Spikes
- Sludge Bomb
- Leaf Storm
- Dazzling Gleam
I love Roserade and want to find a way to use it on my team. Roserade will but used as a special attacker that hopefully will be able to set up Toxic Spikes.
Swampert @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature Relaxed Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Scald
- Roar
I have added Swampert as I think it works well with Roserade countering a couple of its weaknesses as Roserade does for it. I added Roar to take advantage of Stealth Rocks and Toxic Spikes.
Hydreigon @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Dark Pulse
- Fire Blast
- Roost
I added Hydreigon as a special sweeper and thought it worked well with Roserade because of its ability to remove Fairies.
Darmanitan @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Rock Slide
- U-turn
- Superpower
Darmanitan acts as a physical attacker.
Chandelure @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Substitute
- Calm Mind
- Flamethrower
- Shadow Ball
Chandelure was added as a rapid spin blocker as well as because this set up works well with Roserade.
Ampharos @ Ampharosite
Ability: Static
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Volt Switch
- Dragon Pulse
I added Ampharos to work with Darmanitan through Volt Switch and U-Turn. Also I decided to go with a defensive set-up as I believed its something my team was lacking. Rest was added so it could work with Toxic Spikes, stalling as my opponents Pokemon are drained.
