RMT: Specially defensive
*this is my first time posting a RTM
Im trying to build a team in which Gliscor is my main pokemon of choice used in the team. Gliscor is my second fav pokemon in the OU catagory.Blazkin being the first but by it being banned pokemon I chose to go with this guy to build my team around.Edited (hopefully this is better in terms of descriptions)
Gliscor@toxic Orb
Ability: Poison heal
Nature: Impish
EV:252 HP / 184 Def / 72 Spe
-Sword dance
-Protect
-Facade
-Earthquake
This is a standard sword dance set for Gliscor. I picked protect due to that gives me a
turn to gain the effect from poison heal stoping any pokemon that tries to induce any staus on me
I then use SD to start setting up my gliscor and EQ my choice stab. Facade is more for doing more
damage to anything that resists EQ and can still hit a decent amount of damage on steel stypes.
Slobro@leftovers
Ability:Regenerator
Nature: Bold
Ev:248 HP / 244 Def / 16 SpA
-Scald
-Slack off
-psyshock
-calm mind
Slobro i then added when i thought about what to do when im expecting a water or ice move on my gliscor I can sub him in take damage, then slack it off. After i could choose to set up a calm mind while taking damage getting healed with leftovers and using the odd slack off.after the second calm mind unless i get hit with a super-effective attack that is physical slobro will most likly survive it if at full hp or close to full.
Whimsicott@leftovers
Ability: Trickster
Nature: Impish
Ev:252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
-encore
-leech seed
-substitute
-taunt
If I feel that a pokemon will start to try and set up moves I figureed to add something that will not only annoy the other team but can act as a stall,
and prevent set ups. I have taunt in here so that I could stop pokemon that try to put on spikes. Sub+leech seed is more to heal+ stall
Tornadus@lifeorb
Ability:prankster
Nature: Timid
Ev:4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
-Hurricane
-Focus blast
-Taunt
-Tailwind
Most people would ask why a second Trickster pokemon? I say specialsweeper/set up for Heracross+glisizor. Hurricane is used for its stab tho it does have less accuracy
then Air slash I do see alot of rain teams causing it to go from the odd miss to almost never miss. Focus blast is for unexpecting pokemon thikning to subin to resist a alternative hp ice move or
Metagross. Taunt is used incase i come into contact with a faster trickster then my Whimsicott.
Heracross@flame orb
Ability: guts
Nature:Adament
Ev:252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
-Close combat
-Stone edge
-Megahorn
-Facade
Heracross is more like a double edge sword gaining more power with guts and flameorb to be able to sweep. I put him on my team mainly for more type coverage in the sense of being able to hit diffrent types
at a super effective rate. If I time this right guy out right with Tornadus having tailwind set up heracross can become a great late game sweeper. He also makes a great Sableye trickster counter or many dual screen counters.
Virizon@Life orb
Ability: justified
Nature: Timid
Ev:4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
-Calm mind
-Focus blast
-Giga Drain
-Hidden Power
Virizion was put in my team due to my previous pokemon I had in here(moxie gyrados) as a filler my team ran into a great wall only known as jelliciant it was then when I figured to put this pokemon on my team to act specificly for it.
Anyother counters/super effectives It produces are a added bonus.
This is the team I call specially defensive. I try it online or with people and i can then sweep as good as 6-0 but at times I can lose as badly as 0-6. Could someone rate my team and tell me what my main counters for this team I built are and
what are my main risks/threats that my team will face.
