Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/140 Atk/118 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Pursuit
- Pain Split
- Sucker Punch
- Will-o-wisp
Ok, so this is my starter. Its purpose is to annoy other starter, mostly burning them with Will-o-wisp, using Pain Split to keep its HP high, using Pursuit when it seems like foes are escaping :D

Ability: Blaze
EVs: 1 HP/64 Atk/1 Def/192 Spd/252 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Close Combat
- Fire Blast
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Grass Knot
Here's a pokémon I cried blood to obtain, I followed Smogon's guide to obtain HP Ice. It's basically a sweeper 'Ape, with a good type coverage and an above average speed. Sometimes, however, I can't decide if it fits here.

Ability: Lightningrod
EVs: 254 Atk/252 Spd/4 SDef
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Aqua Tail
- Fire Punch
- Stone Edge
Another good one. This one has a good type coverage, too, making it a good alternative when I'm facing, say, an Electric or Fire type.

Ability: Steadfast
EVs: 236 HP/252 Atk/22 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Leaf Blade
- Night Slash
- Psycho Cut
I absolutely love this Pokémon. It's not incredible, ok, but it's awesome to me. It's not extremely fast, but fast enough to hit with leaf blade some nasty Water type or Close Combat-ing away some unwanted guest...
I'm unsure, I don't know which item I should give him.

Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP/254 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Brick Break
- Ice Punch
- Night Slash
- Pursuit
This is another li'l beast. It's quick as hell, and it hits hard. I was thinking about taking away Pursuit, but I don't know what move I should give it.

Ability: Motor Drive
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Cross Chop
- Ice Punch
- Thunderbolt
I used to have a Gyarados, which was a good Pokémon and could lure Electric attacks to trigger Motor Drive, but I can't find Gyarados useful anymore. Electivire is another hard-hitting Pokémonable to keep away both Water type and other types as well.

Hope you can help me improve my team, I've used it a lot both on Shoddy and on my DS with Pt (this team exactly reflects the one I have on the console game) and had good results, but sometimes I feel like something's missing...
Thank you in advance :D
