My Team
Team Building Process
First I had Latias (not Latios) I wanted a team based around Latias At fisrt.
Then I added a Ferrothorn to counter its Dark, Ghost, and Dragon Weakness. And to give my team a little defense.
Then came Chandelure...it was my Ghost killer...and revenge killer (with Coice Scarf :D ) it alos helps Ferrothorn with Fighting And Fire Attacks.
Then came Rotom-W for another choice scarf killer. It works surprisingly well with Chandelure with great coverage with Ghost, Fire, Water, and Electric STAB attacks.
Then I needed a fighting type attacker to hit Dark and normal types. That lead me to my inspiration for the name of this RMT the Pink Warrior....Virizion! The opponents will be guessing weather its pysical or special. And while they're gussing I can set up.
And finally I needed a Ground type attacker to hit Electric types hard. And that's where I met Gliscor!
With this team I can almost hit every type SUPER EFFECTIVLY.But
I didnt have Psychic attacks. So I changed Latias to Latios.
NOW I HAVE PERFECT COVERAGE! ALMOST ALL POKEMON ARE WEAK TO ATLEAST ONE OF MY POKEMON'S MOVES :D
Virizion @ Leftovers
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Leaf Blade
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
I use this as my attacking lead. It works great countering Tyranitar and Politoad with its good typing. I can even 6-0 sweep some people who let this thing set up. It has pretty good Sp. bulk so it can usually take a Sp. attack. With both good Sp. attack and regular attack this thing could run HP Ice...but im not sure about that...if I put Hp Ice in then I would have to take out one of its moves which are crucial in its sweeping. What do you think? He can also take advantage of dark type'd attacks aimed at Chandelure. This is my PINK WARRIOR! I use this for my lead for one good reason...and that is well no one really runs taunt on a lead anymore...they usually run rain/sandstorm. He can easily set up on a tyranitar who are scared by its Fighting type. then can hit hard on what ever comes in on it after a Swords dance! And for Politoad Swords Dance [ Ice Beam wont's do to much and its faser anyway] then hit back with LEAF BLADE
Rotom-W @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Trick
This is probably the most over used pokemon in the metagame....well maybe not as much as Excadrill...but the reason why its so use is because uts AWESOME. I ran a Scarf'd set to go with Chandelure. Together the are a terrifying dual that can just easily take out a team. After taking in consideration from the comments I put Trick in instead of Will-O-Wisp...I think HP Fire will be good on this set so I'll put it up but I'll have to "Test" it. Now with HP fire Ferro is no problem at all. With 2 scarf'd and 1 Specs revenge killer on my team it is easy to get carried away with all the killing. they are all Sp. so before I can just take out pokemon after pokemon I have to take out all SP. walls. Thats where Trick comes in!
Vamp (Gliscor) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 180 Def / 76 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang
- Taunt
My some-what psyical wall and sweeper. Gliscor is just the glue that holds my team together. It's just the typical Poison Heal set. The Gliscor change sounds like a really good one. Gliscor (on my team) is all about Swords dance And with the given EV's and Movest it makes the best of Gliscor. After a Trick from Rotom-W or even with out gliscor makes easy work of SP. walls thar could wall be problematic for my team :D but just as other Gliscor do he is just as good as a wall as a sweeper. With these EV investments he can wall pysical attackers like crazy. And pysical attackers will have to have HP [ice] even to do basically any damage to him.
Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 104 Atk / 72 Def / 80 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Gyro Ball
- Leech Seed
- Stealth Rocks
- Power Whip
I just felt like I needed a Grass type Pokemon and one who can reisist Dragon typed attacks aimed at Latios. This is the weird piont in my team. I kinda want to replace it for something but I dont know what. I'm gonna change this to my lead. and I changed the set to the one from the comments. Im not sure what this thing is on my team...xD but he is my Dragon Resistance....I guess. Im thinking of replacing him but Im not sure for what. Doesn't really do anything except take dragon type'd attacls and hurt pysical attackers. So this is where I need your help the most. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place with ferrothorn
Chandelure @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Energy Ball
- Overheat
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
Like on my other RMT I run a choiced Chandelure. it helps Ferro just like it helped my Magnezone. It takes Fire....and Fighting typed attacks aimed at ferro and ferro takes the Water, Ghost, Ground, Rock, and Dark Attacks aimed at Chandelure. I feel like Chandelure runs Choice scarf better than Rotom-W! It has A higher Sp. Attack..and better coverage. But if you dont play this set right it will easily die. You have to first scare off a pokemon with oh...Latios, Rotom-W, and Virizion then switch in and just destroy the opposing pokemon.Just like Rotom-W Chandelure is a Revenge killer. but gives me coverage that Rotom-W doesnt. with a STAB overheat with probably a flas fire bonus it will wreck havoc on the other team.
Latios @ Choice Specs
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Surf
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Psyshock
This is the pokemon I based my team of of...well actually Latias...but still. He just comes in and KO's pokemon after Pokemon. and deals HUGE damage. With Specs Latios deals out huge damage with a STAB Draco Meteor and Psyshock + Choice Specs= Major Damage! I think Latios accompanied by Rotom-W and Chandelure will take out half the team easily! He's just ANOTHER Sp. revenge killer. He just adds to the plethora of HUGE damage dealing pokemon on my team.
I need some help with this team so that's why I posted this.
Oh And I will Test out that Starmie Idea it sounds promising!
