To start off, hey guys im here to present you my first team building atempt, the team is pretty much a "hit whats in front of you".
Team building process:
(1) I always wanted to use diancie as i think it is a really strong pokemon.
(2) Added manaphy because of its steel / fighting resist and its potential to sweep games.
(3) I went for Lando-T because i needed rocks and wanted knock off.
(4) I added Thundurus to offer some T-Wave support and coverage.
(5) Then i went for talonflame as another win condition
(6) Picked latios cuz i needed defog and wanted a dragon move.
The team:
Diancie @ Diancite
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 32 Atk / 224 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Moonblast
- Earth Power
- Diamond Storm
- Protect
Description: I wanted to use mega diancie and i chose this set because it offers a lot of offensive presence and protect is a great move to scout opponent moves.
Manaphy @ Wacan Berry
Ability: Hydration
EVs: 96 HP / 252 SpA / 160 Spe
Timid Nature
- Tail Glow
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Energy Ball
Description: I went for manaphy because it synergizes well with diancie and it has a great movepool along with tail glow.
Landorus-Therian @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 248 HP / 244 Def / 8 SpD / 8 Spe
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- U-turn
Description: Lando-T was chosen as a way to set up rocks and use knock off, its the defensive backbone of the team.
Thundurus @ Life Orb
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Focus Blast
Description: Thundurus offers a great T-Wave support and coverage, the spread is pretty straight forward, maximizing its power and speed. Focus blast was picked because it can hit a lot of the current metagame threats like Bisharp and Heatran.
Latios @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Defog
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Hidden Power [Fire]
Description: So i needed a defog to support Tflame and latios instantly came into my head coz it counter keldeo pretty hard which would screw me really hard.
Talonflame @ Sharp Beak
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 88 HP / 252 Atk / 168 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- Roost
Description: SD Tflame is so strong in the current meta that i cant even explain, it can set up on a lot of mons like scizor and thorn and can ohko a lot of the threats, i went for the 168 spe instead of max because i dont have a lot of trouble with weavile and the 88 evs in hp really make up for it as it helps setting up. Roost is just there for making it healthy as long as possible.
So thats it guys, thanks for the time. See Ya!
