Here is the team of the Lads above.
I am really enjoying Gen 9 OU, the first gen I have played in. My only issue is that I am just not into the pokemon in the meta, IDGAF about great tusks or kyurems or ghodengos. These are not real pokemon to me /s ;) I just like using the pokemon I like, so is there a way to optimize this team? or swap some out perhaps?
I am still getting used to the archetypes.and how to build them. I have used a couple of different teams pulled from the forums here, but mostly enjoyed bulky offense as a general rule. I tried to build in that direction, but honestly have no real clue and am trying to learn and get better!
Some other criteria includes a hate for stall so pI would like to avoid that playstyle if possible. Ideally a good breaker as a result of that would be nice, I tried to make Reuniclus in that vein, but they seem to die very easily. Stall is the opposite of aura farming, so lets avoid that all all costs lol.
Some other pokemon I enjoy include:
Skarmory: My favorite pokemon of all time. Its a shame cuz I know he typically is good with a stall team, but I am not into that idea. Is there another way to build them?
Blastoise: My favorite starter of all time: Shell smash is a thing I know? but unsure if my skill level can handle that.
Electrode: I love this mon, and find them very funny. Could swap in as a special threat?
Araquanid: Love this pokemons design. Could a sticky webs set help?
Metagross: Gen 3 Legend. So cool, but unsure how to play them
Yanmega: Loved dragonflys my whole life, I find Speedboost cool. but are they any good?
Happy to discuss what other Pokemon you all like to use that might be a bit off meta , I just wanna get to 1400 or 1500 maybe and reevaluate, getting better at the game but still having fun!. Thanks in advance!
Team Breakdown below:
Amelia (Dragapult) (F) @ Choice Band
Ability: Clear Body
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Dragon Darts
- Shadow Ball
- Acrobatics
- Sucker Punch
Big fan of pchal, and I think Dragapult is super cool. Having fun crushing people with Dragon darts, and shadowball has been useful, but i find i don't click the other moves much.
Asuma (Weezing) (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Levitate
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpA
Quiet Nature
- Gunk Shot
- Clear Smog
- Dark Pulse
- Flamethrower
Fav pokemon from Gen 1. I was liking the funny neutral gas, but found that the bulky damage I can put out with this set was
more fun for me. I enjoy this set a lot, but is there a way to optimize?
Grubby (Garganacl) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Purifying Salt
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Body Press
- Salt Cure
- Curse
- Recover
Fav pokemon from Gen 9. I know this is a bit of a stall set? maybe? but I mainly use to break more bulky mons who can't touch
once more set up, he can be super hard to take off the field.
B-Wing (Alomomola) (F) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Ice
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Flip Turn
- Scald
- Wish
- Ice Beam
I realize this is also a bit of a stall mon lol, but I always like alomomola and think they are very pretty. similarly, I feel I only really use flip turn as I am not confident in matchups and need to learn more about using wish more effectively.
Gale (Reuniclus) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 HP / 212 SpA / 44 Spe
Modest Nature
- Psychic Noise
- Knock Off
- Focus Blast
- Recover
Fav Gen 5 mon. Thought process was to have a special sweeper similar to Dragapult on the phys side, but as mentioned they just seem weak :( have not had a chance to shine yet. should I swap to another?
Akira (Cyclizar) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Taunt
I really like the design of Cyclizar, I think it is very unique. but they seem to die pretty much as soon as they hit the field lol. Better set? or swap?
