Hello everyone, I'm just starting with competitive play and have really no idea of how to build a good competitive team. I love Gliscor with the subtoxic build so I would like to build a team around him. This is the one I have now but Im totally open to changing things. Thanks :D
Keldeo @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 24 HP / 232 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Secret Sword
- Protect
- Icy Wind
- Hydro Pump
I used Keldeo because I needed a good Special attacker and he came with one of the best speeds in the game. Everywhere I play I see a lot of dragons so I decided to go with Icy wind in addition to the other STAB attacks so I can OHKO or 2HKO them. The 24 hp evs are for a bit extra life, for the life orb.
Sableye @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Taunt
- Will-O-Wisp
- Foul Play
- Protect
Even though I builded the team around gliscor, I needed some staller/wall for the ones that are inmune to toxic, so I went with a Sableye with Will-o-wisp. His other moves are mainly to help me kill the sweepers of the team (Foul) and foil the plans of the other supports/wallers (Taunt). Prankster to get the statuses first, of course.
Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 244 HP / 28 Def / 236 Spe
Impish Nature
- Toxic
- Substitute
- Earthquake
- Protect
The pokemon I wanted to build the team around. Not only my favourite but a killer in the battles I usually play (With my friends) thanks to its survival abilities. Toxic orb + Poison Heal because heals more than leftovers. Protect + substitute because with the speed he has he usually goes first, wich means an invincible wall to those who are already poisoned or burnt. Earthquake because you can do a lot of damage to steel and poison, his main counters.
Tyranitar @ Chople Berry
Ability: Sand Stream
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Crunch
- Low Kick
- Protect
An Attack Sweeper with Bulky evs to help him withstand one attack. Chople berry to evade the OHKO with high jump kick and hammer arm. The attacks I picked were mainly chosen because of the STAB and power combined. Low kick because I usually play 2 v 2. Earthquake is very useful when Im playing with gliscor and him.
Altaria @ Altarianite
Ability: Natural Cure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Hyper Voice
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Roost
Altaria is mainly a thing I wanted to try, with the ability of the megaevolution. Special sweeper with a very good fairy attack, STAB Draco Meteor, Fire blast for the pure damage and roost when the other has only stallers left. I was wondering if doing speed or hp when EVing, but at the end speed won.
Rotom-Wash @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Thunder
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Protect
Another good Special Sweeper, perfect against earthquake killers and very powerful. STAB Hydro Pump and Thunderbolt. Hidden Power Ice to kill his counters and the ocasional dragons. I decided to go with protect as a counter measure when trying to see the moves of the other pokemons and to use it when focused in 2 v 2. He also goes as a nice pair for Gliscor and Tyranitar in 2 v 2.
I've seen playing that I'm very weak to Fairy types and that I lack a Rock/Spickes setter, but I dont really know what to change or how. Help please!
