So, my experience with the RU Tier is pretty new, so some help with my team would be appreciated! Personally I'm not very good at battling but I try to do my best, so bear with me xD. Before you ask it, yes I did tried my team out in Pokémon Showdown (in witch I am ranked at 1370-1380). Anyway, without further ado, here is my team!
Lilligant (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Own Tempo
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Sleep Powder
- Petal Dance
- Giga Drain
Do I even need to say that she is a sweeper? xD As for her kit I'm thinking that it's pretty ok, the problem that i have with her in this team is that I think there is someone better. I like the Grass coverage but overall I find sometimes difficult to sweep, and if I do manage to set up, they always place a Druddigon or a Steelix against her.
Lanturn @ Leftovers
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 4 Def / 252 HP / 252 SDef
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Toxic
- Thunder Wave
- Heal Bell
Before having Lanturn, I used to have an Alomomola in my team for the Wish pass thing, but I find out that I has to have a Heal Bell (mostly for helping Lilligant to sweep). The Toxic and Thunder Wave I think is a mistake, but I really want to have 2 options for stopping a fast sweeper or surpassing a Wall.
Druddigon @ Rocky Helmet
Trait: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Atk
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Sucker Punch
- Outrage
- Earthquake
Here mostly for Stealth Rock and as a counter to the random Cinccino's (and other physical attackers) in the tier. The Sucker Punch is, as you guessed, for revenge killing, while Outrage and EQ are here for coverage. I never thing of sweeping with him, but it always manages to deal some heavy damage.
Sigilyph @ Life Orb
Trait: Magic Guard
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
IVs: 30 SAtk
- Psychic
- Heat Wave
- Air Slash
- Roost
Not the Cosmic Power set, but it always manages to make me feel smart to putting him in the team xD. The Heat Wave is really useful against Steelix and other pokemons that are weak to Fire, while Psychic and Air Slash are here mostly for coverage. Roost is maybe something I could switch out, even though I really like it.
Cinccino @ Life Orb
Trait: Skill Link
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Tail Slap
- Bullet Seed
- Rock Blast
- Aqua Tail
Ok, I sometimes struggle to find her doing her job (blocking Stealth Rock users to use Stealth Rock), so I really wonder... who should I replace her? I don't have much to say about her, except help me with her D:
Hitmonlee (M) @ Fighting Gem
Trait: Unburden
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Careful Nature
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Mach Punch
- Return
Ok then, I really like my choice with him. I wonder of Sawk ('cause of Mold Breaker and Knock Off) may be a better choice, but the priority in Mach Punch and the overall more damage and Unburden is what keeps him in the team.
So, I did my job on explaining my team that, as you can see, is not the best. I know that I'm not the best, but I'm up to constructive comments!Trait: Own Tempo
