Hi everyone! This is my most recent team and I've noticed that it has quite a few flaws, but I've no idea how to fix them, so I decided to post it here to possibly get some help. Without further ado, here's my team!
Charizard
Charizard (F) @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Solar Beam
- Roost
- Hidden Power [Ground]
The first Pokemon I chose for the team was Charizard Y because it's fast and powerful. Plus, I haven't used it in a while, so I decided to give it a shot.
The moves Nature and EVs are pretty simple. Fire Blast for STAB, SolarBeam for Water types, Roost for recovery and finally, HP Ground for Heatran (even SpDef Tran gets 2HKOed)
Serperior
Serperior (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Dragon Pulse
- Hidden Power [Rock]
- Substitute
The Pokemon I decided to partner up with my Charizard, was Serperior, my 2nd favorite Pokemon and a huge powerhouse when given the chance. Once again, everything is self-explanatory. I have Leaf Storm to boost, DPulse for sort of a coverage move (not that Serperior gets much of a movepool anyway...) HP Rock is for all the types Leaf Storm won't hit super-effectively or neutrally (except Steel, I might change it to HP Fire, but I have Zard....idk, opinions?) Sub is to avoid status and damage for easier set-ups.
Weavile
Weavile (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash
- Poison Jab
The third monster on the team was chosen for that exact reason, cause it's a monster. It outspeeds most of the tier and does at least neutral damage with one of its moves to almost everything. Knock Off support and priority is very nice. This thing acts as my Dragon killer and wallbreaker. (especially against Chansey). I have Poison Jab to hit Fairies. I might change its Nature to Adamant since I already have fast threats...
Keldeo
Keldeo @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Scald
- Secret Sword
- Icy Wind
Keldeo was chosen to make a nice little FWG core on this team and my check for opposing Weavile. I was debating whether to use Scarf or Specs on this thing, but decided on Scarf to get more Speed as Keldeo already packs quite a punch. It's my revenge killer and possible back up sweeper.
Landorus-T
Landorus-T @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Stone Edge
- U-turn
- Earthquake
At this point I realized I needed something to check Talonflame and a physical wall in general, so I chose Lando-T as it provides Stealth Rock support as well. It also has U-turn, giving me some utility.
The rest of the team covers its weaknesses quite nicely as well.
Raikou
Raikou @ Assault Vest
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 224 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 28 Spe
Timid Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
The last Pokemon I chose was Raikou because I needed a Special wall, but also a powerful Special attacker and Raikou fits this role nicely, since it forms a little Volt/Turn core with Landorus. I think this thing is the weakest link on the team, though, because it can't take hits as well as I'd like it to.
So, that's the team. I hope I explained anything well, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask and recommend some changes to the team you feel are necessary. Thanks for reading!
