Hello everyone, i'm going to show you my second team that i built around a defensive Mega Altaria.
THE TEAM
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TEAM OVERVIEW
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PuffPuff (Altaria) (F) @ Altarianite
Ability: Cloud Nine
EVs: 248 HP / 136 Def / 96 SpD / 28 Spe
Impish Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Roost
- Return
- Heal Bell
The King DDD, Mega Altaria is such an amazing pokemon, with Cloud Nine it can enter a battle and disable the effects of weather conditions. Once she mega evolves it becames a huge defensive wall. DD once or twice and you are ready to sweep and take multiple hits. Also you can cure teammates with Heal Bell. It´s important to keep this pokemon alive during the whole battle, she can help a lot!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Serena (Ninetales) (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Drought
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Fire Blast
- Dark Pulse
- Confuse Ray
Ninetales is one of my two personal picks for the team, i really like Ninetales, it's beautiful and has an amazing desing. It's a pokemon with decent stats that unfortunately has been outclassed by MegaZardY. I use this Ninetales as a Special Sweeper. I has very good speed and this helps with the first move, Confuse Ray helps a lot. Then you can Nasty Plot or Dark Pulse to raise your stats or flinch the opponent. Finally, Fire Blast + Sun + Life Orb = Deadly. I want to keep this pokemon as much as possible, it's a personal pick so please take that in consideration.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SirBug (Escavalier) (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Overcoat
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 56 Atk / 104 Def / 100 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Megahorn
- Iron Head
- Knock Off
- Drill Run
Escavalier is the other personal pick. I love this pokemon. It has a menacing look and it's really powerful. Escavalier is a very polifucional pokemon. It can be used with Assault Vest, Leftovers for a Tank and Choice Band if needed. I run a basic Assault Vest set, with Megahorn and Iron Head for Stab and Knock Off and Drill Run for coverage. Works amazing with Ninetales. It's a duo that hits pretty well and has nice synergy. I know i could run Heatran and Scizor, but this two are personal favorites.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crayola (Druddigon) (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Rough Skin
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Glare
- Dragon Claw
- Fire Punch
This pick has been difficult, i wanted a Special Wall but also a Stealth Rock Setter, Druddigon works pretty well in this role but it's very slow and has low attack for the spread used. Anyways, he is my lead, first you put the Stealth Rocks, the you Glare the opponent and in that moment is were Druddigon becames not so strong. Also, Rough Skin + Rocky Helmet, is amazing. This pokemon is open to changes, i've thought Goodra and Garchomp as a possible change.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don'tCare (Quagsire) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Curse
- Recover
- Earthquake
- Waterfall
The Defensive Wall of the team. Quagsire AKA Don'tCare, has one of the best abilities for DD and Sword Dance users: Unware. This pokemon is a tank. Works amazing in the team, Curse + Recover it's all you need and two coverage stab moves to hit hard after two or three Curse's. The main problem of this pokemon is getting burn because it lows his attack when it already has get + 2 Atk.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke (Crobat) (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- U-turn
- Cross Poison
- Defog
BAND BAT is all you need. Crobat has amazing power and speed. I love this pokemon, i've used it since Gen 2 and works pretty well. Brave Bird and Cross Poison to hit hard, U-turn to escape a situation and Defog to get rid of the rocks.
Thanks a lot to everyone and i hope to see some positive critisism.
