M-Swampert is a pretty underestimated threat in the competitive world. It can sweep, setup, tank, stall, revenge kill, pretty much everything. Honestly, I dunno why it's in UU. This is a team built not only on sweeping stalling and tanking but also type coverage.
THE TEAM~
SWAMPERT-MEGA
Swampert-Mega @ Swampertite
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 104 HP / 252 Atk / 152 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Refresh
The core of my team, I chose it because of
1) Great typing
2) Moves to counter
3) Versatility
4) Great Attack + Defense
It's the pokemon I send out first, and then it usually KO's AT LEAST 3 pokemon. I've got Refresh to cure those crippling burns.
GYARADOS
Gyarados @ Choice Band
Ability: Intimidate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 212 HP / 252 Atk / 44 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Waterfall
- Ice Fang
- Stone Edge
- Return
This is my bulky Physical sweeper, and very important. I am considering a change of items, and replacing Return with Rest or something. Also, Choice Band hampers it's moveset a bit.
SNORLAX
Snorlax @ Leftovers
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 144 HP / 188 Def / 176 SpD
Careful Nature
- Curse
- Return
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
Pretty much my Physical tank. Am considering changing the ability to Thick Fat, but then burns cripple it. I'm thinking Thick Fat as it allows it to wall common Special hits. Also suggest an EV spread which improves it's Attack without compromising it's defensive capabilities too much.
DRAGONITE
Dragonite @ Choice Band
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Rush
- Aerial Ace
- Roost
- Earthquake
My Special wall + Physical Sweeper. It's Multiscale allows it to survive even Ice Beams/Punches, while Roost keeps Multiscale activated and running. I am looking to make it a Special sweeper, although I can't get a good moveset and EV spread, so please suggest one.
TYRANITAR
Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 104 HP / 252 Atk / 152 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
- Dragon Tail
Once again, Physical Tank. Dragon Tail replaced Earthquake, as it does damage + switches out checks and counters. Also, should I invest more in Speed or Defense? Without Defense, it gets KO'd pretty quickly, while without Speed, it can't get in many hits / KO's.
And Lastly...
VOLCARONA
Volcarona @ Leftovers
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 248 HP / 136 Def / 124 Spe
Bold Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Fire Blast
- Giga Drain
- Roost
My only Special sweeper. Volcarona is the result of a search for a good Fire-type. It worked where Metagross, Typhlosion and M-Charizard Y failed. A few Quiver Dances transport its Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed to insane levels. And any damage acquired in setting up Quiver Dances is restored with Roost. It also checks M-Swampert's counters, incuding Rotom-Wash, which was otherwise a great threat to my team.
BTW, This team is pretty good in my tests but needs patching up of a few flaws.
I am 'bharadawaj raju' on Pokemon Showdown.
Thanks for all your help.
