My first X and Y team from the scratch

Hi guys, I have built this team and I think it works pretty well. But I havent met skilled people yet, so I need you guys to find the flaws. Here is a preview :) This is my first RMT post, (So If I have done anything wrong, please forigve me)

venusaur-mega.gif


Venusaur @ Venusaurite
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Power Whip
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- Synthesis

A lot people use Mega Venasaur as a special attacker, so I wanted something different. I want him to be a tank, so thats why he has 252 HP ev's. And since he is a physical attacker. Power Whip as the STAB attack. Earthquake to take out Heatran, Mawile and some times Charizard X.


heatran.gif

Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 SDef
Calm Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic
- Lava Plume
- Flash Cannon
Venusaur isnt very weak to fire when it turns into a Mega, but Charizard Y can do a lot of damage with its Fire Blast. So this guy comes in handy. Can set up rocks, toxic the opponent and it deals with most fairy types, good counter against Scizor as well.

gyarados.gif

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Waterfall
- Dragon Tail
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

Gyarados is a great physical wall. With its ability it lowers the enemies attack stat, and 252 def evs reduces the damage even more. Dragon tail for set up pokemon like Charizard X with D-Dance, Or Scizor with S-Dance etc. Waterfall is the stab attack. Rest to deal with T-Wave and Toxic.


latios.gif

Latios @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Roost
- Defog
- Psyshock

My Special attacker. It has decent speed, so it can outspeed most of its counters. It has defog to get rid of screens, Sticky Web and Entry hazards. Draco Meteor does a nice amount of damage (unless its a fairy), and psyschock to hit Blissey.

conkeldurr.gif

Conkeldurr (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Guts
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Mach Punch
- Ice Punch
- Knock Off
This is my physical attacker! This guy is very strong, and takes a nice amount of damage from most pokemon. Knock off is great if the opponent switch into a psyich type (Has happend a lot to me) And it also removes their Item. Ice Punch to hit Dragons and flying types such as Mandibuzz. Drain Punch for STAB, and Mach Fors STAB+Priority. Assualt Vest to get better special defence so it can take one hit, and then knock off their item. Eats Blissey/Chansey alive.

chansey.gif


Chansey (F) @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Heal Bell
- Seismic Toss
- Soft-Boiled

A mixed wall. Thunder Wave to make the opponents slower. Heal belll to heal the team, Seisimic Toss Works pretty well on every pokemon (Expect from ghost types) and Softboiled to restore HP. Its a great wall as long as it can keep the Eviolite. Greninja cant do much against this beast.

Please leave any suggestion that can make this team better. Thanks
 
Hey Cool team here! The team seems pretty solid but I don't think you're using your Venusaur-m right. I think you should better run that moveset:
Venusaur @ Venusaurite
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 248 HP / 92 Def / 168 SDef
Sassy Nature
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
- Earthquake
- Synthesis

The reason why I suggested you EQ is because it can helps vs Heatran with some prediction but you can use Leech Seed over EQ If you want. Remember that if you use Leech Seed you will need to put 0 iv's on atack to minize Foul's Play damange and a Sassy nature.

Also you should better run Leftoves over Life Orb on Latios since you are using Defog and also change Draco Meteor for Dragon Pulse so you don't have to change Latios every time you use a dragon move.

Focusing now on your Heatran I think you could run Earth Power over Flash Cannon, since your Venusaur will be able to hit fairy types]. If you want you can try to run Air Baloon over Leftovers but that's my personal choice.

Thank you so much for taking your time to help me. I will try out your new set right away!

Frankly I don't agree with your changes on Latios, since if you're trying to make Latios more bulky with Lefties and using Dragon Pulse, you shouldn't be using Latios at all. I'd say keep Life Orb and Draco Meteor since other than Conkeldurr, your team really can't hit back that hard otherwise, and having Life Orb Latios keeps some good offensive pressure. Also, I'd recommend changing Chansey's EV investment to 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SDef as Chansey's HP stat is so large, investing into it doesn't really change much. Also, with the extra SDef investment and Eviolite, Chansey's Special Defense goes up to a whopping 463 instead of 376 without investment, so you're getting more bang for your buck as a mixed wall. Also, idk how safe your team is against Mega Pinsir, cuz outside of Gyarados, your team gets wrecked by it, and even still:

+1 252 Atk Aerilate Mega Pinsir Return vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Gyarados: 310-366 (78.6 - 92.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock

So, even though RestTalk Gyarados is pretty cool, I think you should change it to Physically Defensive Skarmory instead to not only take on Mega Pinsir well, but to be a bit more solid against Bisharp, since Latios is very vulnerable to Pursuit trappers and Bisharp (not that it can switch into Heatran anyways :) )

skarmory.gif

Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Item: Leftovers / Rocky Helmet
Nature: Bold
-Roost
-Whirlwind
-Brave Bird
-Taunt

Taunt is weird, but you already have a Defogger and Stealth Rock setter, plus Skarmory can help you out against some stall teams or bulky sweepers. Hope this helps!

Thank you, I will try this out :D
 
canman98 I didn't tought about Pinsir-m. Good idea.

"Taunt is weird, but you already have a Defogger and Stealth Rock setter, plus Skarmory can help you out against some stall teams or bulky sweepers. Hope this helps!"

Because of that If you want you can try Surf on Latios and Defog on Skamory but it's ok. I mean also because you are probably changing Gyarados for Skamory as cabnab98 said, wich is better.

Also because you will have Latios as the offensive pokemon and Skamory just to act as a wall. When you use Defog you can probably take some damange, but that's situational.

Hope I have helped too :P.

About your Skarmory, how can I then handle Charizard X?
Click to expand...

Good question. Your team can deal with it if:

Heatran has Roar (Flash Cannon is not necessary since of Sludge Bomb on Mega Venusaur) and Charizard X does not carry Earthquake
Chansey can Thunder Wave it if it decides to set up
Latios can pwn it with Draco Meteor if Zard X has not set up

Also, if Stealth Rock is up, Charizard will not like switching in, and Conkeldurr can take a hit and Drain Punch Charizard to death. Mega Charizard Y is not a problem, which is good. You do have solutions tho even without RestTalk Gyarados.
