Since I'm bad at making screenshots I only have a proper picture of rank 6
This is my first RMT and the first team I built myself that got me this far on the ladder. It's a Volt-Turn team built around Banded Zygarde and Specs Tapu Lele.
Zygarde @ Choice Band
Ability: Aura Break
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Thousand Arrows
- Outrage
- Extreme Speed
- Toxic
I wanted to build a team around Banded Zygarde because few teams have proper switch-ins to it. It is the physical wallbreaker of the team and a revenge killer/lategame sweeper with Extreme Speed. It's also my only check to faster fire types.
Tapu Lele @ Choice Specs
Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psyshock
- Moonblast
- Focus Blast
- Shadow Ball
Besides Zygarde this is the other main wallbreaker of the team. It hits insanely hard due to its ability and Choice Specs and it has even fewer switch-ins than Zygarde. Focus Blast is used over HP Fire because it hits both Heatran and Ferrothorn and Shadow Ball is used for Jirachi.
Tapu Koko @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Thunderbolt
- U-turn
- Brave Bird
- Hidden Power [Ice]
This is my lead of choice in most of my games because it can either threaten the opponent with Thunderbolt or switch out with U-turn and gain momentum. It's also the main lategame sweeper after Zygarde/Tapu Lele broke through the enemy team and also the main revenge killer of this team. I chose Brave Bird over other possible move choices because it helps against Volcarona, which this teams struggles against.
Magearna @ Assault Vest
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 204 HP / 180 SpA / 124 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Fleur Cannon
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Flash Cannon
Magearna is my special wall and answer to Greninja. It's used over other special walls because of its access to Volt Switch. Since this team has nothing that switches in to Ferrothorn and also forces it out Magearna has to run HP Fire. With this much speed it can also land some surprise KO's on enemy Scizors after a bit of prior damage.
Landorus-Therian @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 216 Def / 24 SpD / 16 Spe
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- U-turn
Landorus-T is the Rock setter on my team and my switch-in to most physical mons. It gains the much wanted momentum for this team by forcing Defog after setting up Rocks and U-turning around. HP Ice is used to prevent opposing Landorus-T from setting up on it and to check Zygarde.
Scizor-Mega @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 116 Def / 128 SpD / 16 Spe
Impish Nature
- U-turn
- Roost
- Defog
- Bullet Punch
The style of the team makes you switch around a lot. Because of this and the fact that every mon besides Lando-T is grounded the team is very weak to Spikes. This is where Scizor comes in. Not only does it provide the team with a much needed Defog user, it's also another abuser of U-turn. This together with it's great bulk make it a great asset to the team.
Conclusion
The team is fun to play because of it's straight forward style but it still has a lot of weaknesses that need to be played around by predicting your opponent. I appreciate any advice and apologize for any grammar or spelling errors.
