Hello, I joined the forums yesterday and this is my second team I have evr created. As you can see, it's Winnie the pooh themed. I tested this team out and its win lose ratio was 7/10. I bring it here to ask for some suggestions, opinions, ect.


232.png

Heffalump (Donphan) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Def / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Ice Shard
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake

Heffalump the Donphan. Basically he's here to set up entry hazards and rid of entry hazards. He has earthquake that packs a strong STABed punch to the other leads and with adamant nature can OHKO some T-Tars. For priority, he has ice shard which basically is used to finish the opponent off or get in one last hit before he goes down. His ice shard is also good against those pesky dragons and gliscor. On some occasions he has KO'd two of the opponents pokemon which is pretty good for being a lead imo.

Tigger (Blaziken) (M) @ Liechi Berry
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 200 HP / 200 Atk / 48 Def / 48 SDef / 8 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Protect
- Swords Dance
- Blaze Kick
- Hi Jump Kick

I realize Blaziken is now banned so I am looking for suggestions for which he should be replaced with. If possible I would like a quike poke that can pull a potential sweep. Thanks

Wooster (Gengar) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Focus Blast
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Wooster the Gengar. Wooster is here for a quick Special Attack revenge killer. Having a variety of moves makes him an important part of the team. He has Shadowball for obvious STAB reasons and those weak against it like Espeons with Magic Mirror, Shanderas, and other ghost types. Focus blast to do some high damage against those that my resist the STAB shadowball and for normal types, steel types, and rock types. Hidden power ice is used for the dragons that could possibly pull off a sweep or ground types like Excadrill. I switched thunderbolt with energy ball to trick water types into switching into ground types that would other wise resist and end up killing them. On many occasions he has been the last pokemon and swept the rest of the opposing team.

Reuniclus (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Magic Guard
EVs: 200 HP / 200 Def / 108 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Recover
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball / Focus Blast
- Calm Mind

After a Calm Mind this thing is ridiculously hard to kill and can often set up even more Calm Minds and recover the damage. Pick between shadow ball or focus blast depending what you want to cover. Focus Blast is usually better at dealing with Reuniclus counters and switch in's. Easily one of the biggest threats in the meta-game.

Eeyore (Quagsire) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Boil Over
- Recover
- Earthquake
- Toxic

Eeyore the Quagsire. Quagsire is here for a physical wall with the ability unaware that stops sweepers like conkeldurr and in it's tracks. He has two stat enducing moves (boil over and toxic), recover to potentially stall out out the sweeper, and earthquake to put some dents into other walls.

380.png

Latias @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
Ev's: 252 hp/ 252 spd/ 4 sdef
Timid Nature (+Speed -Attack)
Moves:
-Dragon Pulse
-Calm Mind
-Recover
-Substitute

Owl is used for a potential sweep. After a few calm minds up, he's pretty hard to take down. After setting up, he can recover some of the damage he recieved and continue to sweep the opposing team.

Rate, comment, suggest, hate, ect. Thanks!
 
Ive found infernape to be a good replacement for blaziken.

Infernape @ life orb
Blaze
Jolly
252 atk 252 spe
Close combat
Blaze kick/flare blitz
Stone edge
Swords dance
 
ok first off for your blaziken request there are many good replacements if you want it to be afire type then my suggestion is this:




Chandelure @ Leftovers
Ability: Shadow Tag
Nature: Bold / Timid
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Spe (or 252 HP, 4 Def, 252 Spe for Timid)
~Substitute/Pain Split
~Calm Mind
~Flamethrower
~Shadow Ball





if you want just an overall good and fast sweeper (chandelure isnt that fast but it is a good sweeper) then i reccomend this




Thunderus @ Life Orb
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 4 HP/252 SpAtk/ 252 Spe
Nature: Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
- Nasty Plot
- Thunderbolt/Thunder
- HP Ice
- Focus Blast


This guy is fast enough to sweep hard. If you call the switch right you get a free nasty plot in which boosts your sweeping ability even more.








Now my next edit mark is replace Quagsire with




name: Ferrothorn
move 1: Spikes
move 2: Gyro Ball
move 3: Leech Seed
move 4: Protect
item: Leftovers
nature: Sassy
evs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
IVS: 0 SPE



this guy is an insane wall. You have three other guys covering conkeldurr so why not get an actually decent wall. Most people won't run this because of the loss in powerwhip but if you get leech seed out there FIRST then you can start setting up spikes and protecting when needed. Also for gyro ball to have max effect remember to have 0 speed IVS.

I do not intend to be offensive but honestly with all the new 5 generation pokemon infernape isnt really used much now. Yes it is still effective sometimes but now it just isnt as reliable as it was in 4 generation
 
i guess it all depends on what you want. it works perfectly on my team. and i think a big reason why its usage went down was because of blaziken.

To be honest, I don't really want to trade out quagsire. He is pretty much my life savior when a poke is trying to set up by saving me from DD gyara, scizors, ect.

Also, the thundrus seems like a great set but I was kind of looks for a more physical sweeper since Latias, Reuniclus, and Gengar are all special attackers.

I am a little confused how exactly does quagsire save you from scizors, and gyarados, and stuff
Click to expand...

Well, once the pokemon starts to set up I which in Quagsire, and with the ability, unaware, the attack of the pokemon will do the same amount as it would without. I then either toxic or boil over until they are statused and then heal off all of the damage.
 
ok but even without a boost gyarados can still crush quagsire plus there is the possibility of them switching to a pokemon who can crush it without boosts too. Also having a quagsire on your team with that moveset is a major breloom weakness. if it was poison heal and switches in when you use toxic it got a free switch and can now spore and subseedpunch as much as it wants
 
Yes, i agree that breloom is a problem but I don't agree that a gyarados can cause me problems. If a breloom comes out then I use one of my pokes with an ice or psychic.
 
yes but to get to that pokemon you have to switch and before he can even get a turn in you are spored. then he can leech seed and sub up before you can even attack him with those moves and spore you again and focus punch you.

Yes, but then again this is just one pokemon! Say a conkeldurr is switched in to natorrei. It can set up as many bulk ups at it wants and then sweep my entire team. With quagsire, it can't do that. I mean he may get in some good hits, but I can boil water him till the burn hax kicks in and attack is reduced and then heal off some damage. Same with excadrill and some other pokemon.

yes a conkeldurr could bulk up but you have to think if you set the battle up correctly then he has already taken damage from stealth rocks and three layers of spikes plus every turn he uses bulk up he loses hp from leech seed. not to mention forrothorn having protect and also gyro balling while conkeldurr bulks up. as for excadrill he is just too frail excadrill isnt too big of a threat if there isnt sand. Becasue even without boosts a choice band excadrill in the sand is gonna crush your whole team with or without quagsire. which is why you want a wall so why not get the best one in the game.
 
I appreciate your suggestion but I won't be changing quagsire. I know I may sound dumb but I have my reasons.

Again, which poke should I switch with Blaziken. Thundrus is great but I'm looking for a psychical attacker. I'm flexible on whether it's fast or not, thanks.
 
k if you want a physical attacker you could do this:
name: Conkeldurr
move1: Bulk Up
move2: Drain Punch
move3: Mach Punch
move4: Payback / Stone Edge
item: Leftovers
ability: Guts
nature: Brave / Adamant
evs: 120 HP / 252 Atk / 136 SpD




OR THIS:




name: Haxorus
move 1: Dragon Claw/Double Chop
move 2: Earthquake
move 3: Outrage
move 4: Brick Break / Rock Slide
item: Choice Band
Ability: Mold Breaker
Nature: Adamant / Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
