This is the first team I made to play competitive, I use it in pokemon showdown and after 19 battles I have win 17 and lost 2, I think this team is amazing but I want to put a mega evolution and hear some advices from people that know A LOT about competitive battles than me (and i think everyone here is because I'm just starting with this)
THE TEAM:
Pikabloo (Azumarill) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Huge Power
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Belly Drum
- Aqua Jet
- Superpower
- Play Rough
The pokémon that i wanted to use most, once i use belly drum something is going to die, I like this set because the opponent always thinks that this has a choice band (like most azumarril have) and sometimes I bluff that and works wonders :D.
Phoenix (Talonflame) (M) @ Sharp Beak
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 192 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def / 60 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- Tailwind
I prefer this set over the choice band because of the chance of use Flare Blitz and Brave Bird, I don’t usually use swords dance but if I have the chance I use it to take advantage of it, with this speed EVs it outspeed every steel pokemon (and that’s the only type you want to use Fire over Flying).
Lavadora (Rotom-Wash) @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Rest
Standard defensive restochesto set, I don’t have much to say about this pokémon, it checks a lot of threats and it is really helpful in battle, my favorite pokemon in this team for the times it has saved me multiple times.
Titan (Tyranitar) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Sassy Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Pursuit
- Rock Slide
- Fire Blast
My special defense wall, with its types it helps me a lot, I usually use it to defend against pokemons that are strong against my gengar or my talonflame, I can pursuit trap some pokemons, stealth rocks are there because I love rocks :D, and fire blast is for ferrothorn.
Molly (Excadrill) (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Mold Breaker
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Shadow Claw
Normal rapid spinner set and I NEED rapid spin to help talonflame switch in and out, with these 3 attacks I can hit hard on a lot of pokemons, with mold breaker it destroys Rotom-W.
Yami (Gengar) (M) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Substitute
- Disable
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
I first wanted to use mega gengar but after the ban of the gengarite I chose my favorite set of gengar and it is sub disable, with this set all the banded pokemons don’t have a chance, I also use this pokemon as lead normally and it checks some pokemons like gliscor.
Final comment:
Azumarril and Gengar are the stars of this team really, i want to put a mega evolution in the team so I don’t know what to change. So, what do you think about this team?
