Introduction
After so much battling in the OU Tier, I decided to try out the NU Tier. In the Tier I saw phione and wanted to make a NU Team with it (though now I figured that it wasn't useful in my team). And here's what I made. Now I love the NU Team since there's alot of pokemon you can choose from. :) Now I need help. And who better than to ask you guys? You help me before on OU and I did very good with the team. This time it's NU. :)
At a Glance
Changes will be in red...
In Depth
Persian (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Fake Out
- U-Turn
- Hypnosis
- Taunt
Comments
This is my lead. With fake out and tremendous base speed, she can ruin other leads from setting up. Fake Out to break sash or for a guarantee hit (except for ghosts), Hypnosis if other attempts to switch in a counter. Taunt to prevent setup, such as stealth rock and toxic spikes. Finally, U-Turn to get some damage and switch in for a counter. That will ruin cacturne leads. I used Life Orb for more power since it's attack is low even with a technician boost.
EV's
The EV's are obvious. 252 for attack and speed and 4 EV for HP whatsoever.
Problems
I have no problems with using Persian. He's does his job and that's all I care about. I recently also tried purugly as a lead and I like it too because it has better attack stat than persian and with thick fat.
Meganium (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 216 HP/148 Def/144 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Energy Ball
- Aromatherapy
- Reflect
- Leech Seed
Comments
My wall and supporter. I use reflect to help out the rest of my teams defense problem, leech seed and aromatherapy for support. Energy Ball is for STAB. I mainly use him because he's bulky.
EV's
HP is very important so I put 216 EV's into HP. 148 EV's for defense and 144 EV's for Special Defense (since using energy ball as the only attacking move makes it not attacking most of the time).
Problems
There's none really. Maybe I'll change Energy Ball for Giga Drain just for HP.
Quagsire (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Curse
- Earthquake
- Recover
- Ice Punch
Comments
I used to have Phione on the team but since Quagsire outclasses it mostly, I replaced it. I need Quagsire more then Politoed because of bulk. If they use a grass move, I'll switch to meganium or entei. Earthquake for STAB. Ice Punch for coverage. Curse helps raises her defense and attack to sweep.
EV's
Maximum HP EV's and SDef EV's. Curse raises her defense.
Problems
Unknown so far.
Medicham (F) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Pure Power
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SpA)
- High Jump Kick
- Psycho Cut
- Ice Punch
- Thunderpunch
Comments
My revenge killer. It's speed + scarf allows it to outspeed many of the common threats such as hitmonchan and primeape (with adamant nature). I used High Jump Kick instead of Brick Break for more power, psycho cut for stab while ice punch and thunderpunch for more coverage.
EV's
It's obvious. It's a Jolly nature for more speed.
Problems
Didn't have much problems but suggestions are always welcomed! I don't know if hitmonchan or primeape will be better though.
Skuntank (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Aftermath
EVs: 24 HP/252 Atk/232 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Sucker Punch
- Pursuit
- Fire Blast
- Explosion
Comments
Thanks aragonbird for the suggestion. I used to have manectric on my team as a mixed sweeper but since I have a huge espeon/gardevior weakness, Skuntank deals with the problem. "By being able to trap and kill Ghosts and Psychics like Espeon, Gardevoir, and Drifblim, you can use Medicham's STAB attacks more freely without having to worry about switching out." Quoted from your good words.
EV's
24 EV's on HP for taking hits. The rest on Attack and Speed.
Problems
I have no problems with him yet since I just added him recently.
Movie 13 Entei (U) @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- ExtremeSpeed
- Flare Blitz
- Stone Edge
- Hidden Power Grass
Comments
Thanks Creeper for the suggestion. "Hidden Power Ground, despite providing good coverage, doesn't really hit anything that Stone Edge can't. Hidden Power Grass will get rid of silly Quagsire and Gastrodon that think they can wall you. Life Orb will give Entei more power and priority is always a good thing to have." Quoted from your good words.
EV's
252 EV's for Attack and Speed. The rest is on Special Atk.
Problems
Unknown so far.
So...
Tell me what you think of this team. All suggestions are welcome! Thanks :)
