OK, made a new team, would like to hear your thoughts as it's a work in progress :D
All Pokemon with Leftovers (cba to write it 6 times :P)
Umbreon - Mean Passer
- Baton Pass
- Mean Look
- Rest
- Charm/Substitute
Yeah, it's standard and probably boring. Idea being trap, pass to counter, repeat when necessary and rest off damage.
Not sure about whether to have Charm to out-stall Curselax and otherwise mess up physical attackers, or use Substitute for something to Baton Pass.
Machamp (Set 1) - Physical Attacker 1
- Submission
- Rest
- Fire Blast
- Earthquake
Machamp (Set 2)
- Cross Chop
- Fire Blast
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
For either set, EQ and the fighting attack are the main form of attack I'll be using. Fire Blast for Skarm if need be, although it won't like a CH Cross Chop much either. Unsure which set to go for, basically I don't like the inaccuracy of Cross Chop, so Submission is a possible replacement. Because of the recoil, that set has Rest. Rock Slide for fliers/flinching possibly.
Heracross - Physical Attacker 2
- Megahorn
- Earthquake
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
Megahorn destroys Psychics, grasses etc. Earthquake for coverage. Resttalk for survivability.
Starmie - Special Attacker 1
- Ice Beam
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Recover
Hits practically everything apart from the special walls, and I have other pokes for those. BoltBeam + STAB Surf provides coverage and power. Recover is a given.
Exeggutor - Special Attacker 2
- Giga Drain
- Psychic
- Leech Seed
- Explosion
Decent sp.attacker. STAB attacks hit most thing reasonably hard, Explosion is almost guaranteed to take something with it. Leech Seed on a trapped enemy is just evil. But I like it!
Blissey - Heal Beller
- Softboiled
- Heal Bell
- Toxic/Light Screen
- Ice Beam
Pretty standard Heal Bell Blissey really. Needed as I am using a rester without Sleep Talk (possibly 2 depending on Machamp set), and just to get rid of any other statuses my Pokemon pick up. Not sure about the last move though.
Thoughts:
- Plan is to trap-pass what the opponent has out. so keeping Umbreon alive is pretty important. Thankfully, it has decnt defenses, and Heal Bell support for when it is sleeping.
- Only 4 attackers, so I need to keep them alive really. Hence they all have recovery moves. (depending on Machamp set, and Eggy's options aren't as direct)
- So far untested. (By me anyway :P)
- Not sure if I should keep Blissey. Opinions on this please, and if no, suggest a replacement :D
Rate away!!
