So generally, my entire team is highly defensive and most members of my team can be selfsufficient and heal themselves. I've been using this team against my friends for some time and it's really been workig out for me. But I can't help but think I still need improvement. Also, one of my friends keeps complaining that I don't change my team up and he hates playing against my constantly recovering pokemon. Keep in mind that I try to keep my team strictly UU Tier. I play by standard ruling.
Claydol @ Leftovers
Levitate
252 HP/144 Def/114 SpA
Bold
-Rapid Spin
-Shadow Ball/Psychic
-Earth Power
-Stealth Rock
His main purpose is clearly to provide Rapid Spin Support while simultaneously laying down Stealth Rocks when necessary. The Earth Power is for his Ground STAB move and Psychic can be used for either a secondary STAB move or Shadow Ball to counter against Ghost and other Psychic Types. His Ground/Psychic Typing make for good resistances against mainly Electric and Fighting moves.
Drapion @ Black Sludge
Battle Armor
252 HP/252 Def/6 Spe
Impish
-Cross Poison/Protect
-Crunch/Protect
-Sleep Talk
-Rest
Another one of my defensive RestTalking pokemon. I like using Drapion for his Poison/Dark typing and his very nice base defense stat of 110. As of right now, I'm running both of his STAB moves, but I used to run Protect in place of Crunch so use as sort of a scouting move to see what my opponent's pokemon might know. Toxic Spikes could be used in place of Protect for a secondary Entry Hazard as well.
Aggron @ Life Orb
Rock Head
252 HP/6 Def/252 SpD
Impish
-Double Edge?
-Head Smash
-Sleep Talk
-Rest
Aggron is basically my wall for this team. He can take most of the weaknesses that the rest of my team has due to his Steel Typing and can also be used to absorb statuses due to the fact that I made him a RestTalker. Head Smash is his primiary STAB move, but Double Edge is kind of shaky. I'm looking for something else to replace it, but for now I'm using it to go along with his Rock Head ability. LO is to make for the fact that he has no EV investment in ATK so he can still do some damage while being able to heal it off with Rest.
Altaria @ Leftovers/White Herb
Natural Cure
252 HP/40 Def/218 SpD
Bold
-Draco Meteor
-Toxic/Haze
-Roost
-Heal Bell
My main source of Heal Bell support for this team. Roost is standard for a healing move as it would nullify the Flying Typing for a turn. Toxic would be used to spread some damaging status to make up for Altaria's rather poor offensive stats and create a sort of toxic stall. But Haze could still be used here instead as it would stop boosters as well as help recover the -2SpA from Draco Meteor.
Torterra @ Leftovers
Overgrow
212 HP/252 Def/44 Spe
Impish
-Earthquake
-Wood Hammer
-Leech Seed
-Synthesis
Torterra is mainly for laying down Leech Seeds. Full defense EVs and an Impish natures makes his Def reach a nice 339. So he can take many physical hits while he spreads his seeds over the field(LOL). Earthquake and Wood Hammer are his STAB moves, boths with massive base powers on his 254 Atk stat. And Synthesis in the last slot as a secondary recovery in case I feel like stalling my opponent out for some more Leech Seed damage.
Milotic @ Life Orb
Marvel Scale
152 HP/80 Def/220 SpA/56 Spe
Modest
-Hidden Power Grass
-Ice Beam
-Hydro Pump/Surf
-Recover
Milotic is close to the only offensively set pokemon I have on this team, while still being defensive. Hydro Pump/Surf and Ice Beam provide great coverage. Hitting almost everything when combined with HP Grass for at least neutral. Recover is to make Milotic capable of surviving longer as well as getting rid of the damage that Life orb would inflict on it.
Any comments and Improvements on this team would be very helpful.
