Hallo, everyone! This team may seem a bit... off or strange, to some people. I'm not sure though (not adept at the metagame yet). Anyway, this would probably because of a few things about me.
For one, I like using Pokemon that are adaptable, yet not commonly used (thus the Froslass here, and Umbreon on other teams). I also don't like to use Legends (like Celebi, ect.) or OVERLY used things (Heatran, Rotom, SkarmBliss, ect.). Heck, the only reason Stealth Rock is here is because it works great with Swampert, and my team enjoys that residual damage!
Anyway, any help here will be greatly appreciated! And my apologies if this team just plain sucks... Thanks in advance! :3
Froslass @ Focus Sash
Ability: Snow Cloak
EVs: 252 Sp.Atk, 4 Sp.Def, 252 Spd
Nature: Timid
- Spikes
- Taunt
- Ice Beam
- Destiny Bond
Froslass is my lead for the team. One thing I like is that Taunt can take care of a lot of leads' purposes, then she can set up Spikes (I've gotten 3 layers before). Plus, as the only Ghost-Type with Spikes, she can block Rapid Spin while she's out, which is great against opposing Lead Forretress. Finally, Ice Beam is a great standard STAB that hits most non-Steel leads pretty well, and can 2HKO some of them (like Azelf and others). Destiny Bond works with her high Speed and Focus Sash to get in a free kill, as long as it's not a priority Metagross or something.
Swampert @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 248 HP, 216 Def, 44 Sp.Def
Nature: Relaxed
- Stealth Rock
- Roar
- Ice Beam
- Earthquake
Swampert helps overall as a wall + attacker of sorts, and the ability to set up Stealth Rock and residual damage. Roar works great with Stealth Rock and Froslass's Spikes, as well as scouting the enemy's team. Ice Beam is standard on Swampert against opposing Pokemon, and works nicely in co-op with Earthquake, which offers a great STAB. His defenses allow for almost any non-Grass to be Stealth Rocked. The Leftovers help with his bulk and healing small damage.
Scizor @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP, 252 Atk, 8 Spd
Nature: Adamant
- U-Turn
- Superpower
- Pursuit
- Bullet Punch
This is the standard Scizor that everyone knows and loves! Well, unless it's your enemy, then the case is that you hate it... o3o" Anyway! This is again a standard set (I need to be more creative with these). U-Turn offers scouting and it great for some STAB/Technician damage before switching, as long as she goes first. Superpower is great against Pokemon like Tyranitar and others scared of the Fighting-Type. Pursuit works nicely with the others, and is nice against Gengar and Azelf, who love the word "Switch" a bit too much against Scizor. Bullet Punch is another STAB, but the priority this move gets is what makes it so important. Scizor also nicely counters Celebi and Shaymin, which kill other team members. All this, along with her nice support for many other Pokemon on this team makes her a valuable asset.
Tyranitar @ Expert Belt
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 96 HP, 68 Atk, 100 SpAtk, 244 Spd
Nature: Hasty
- Superpower
- Crunch
- Fire Blast
- Pursuit
Tyranitar. Oh how that Sandstorm annoys people. Well, here's another powerhouse on the team! While Scizor may be his nemesis, he actually works well in saving the metal bug's butt as well. Anyway, Superpower is a powerful move that will hurt a lot of his opponents hard. Crunch is the STAB that will kill almost any Ghost or Psychic that can't flee from it. Pursuit works in the same way, but for the enemies that actually can and will run away from Tyranitar here. Fire Blast is obvious, as the coverage is nice with his other moves, and it's a powerful attack nonetheless, allowing him to surprise Steel-Types that may try and counter him. Finally, the Expert Belt gives him the boost he needs to run this Mixed set.
Rotom-W @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP, 40 SpAtk, 216 Spd
Nature: Timid
- Will-O-Wisp
- Trick
- Thunderbolt
- Hydro Pump
This is the Rotom that I replaced by Gliscor for, I guess? Anyway, this is self-explanatory, and helps with my team synergy. Will-O-Wisp cripples many of the Pokemon that may try and harm Rotom-W or my team, obviously with Physical Attackers. Trick screws over many other Pokemon, like Blissey and Leftovers users, among many others. Thunderbolt is the obvious STAB, and Hydro Pump offers coverage and incredible power to accompany Rotom-W and his Scarf. Along with a Timid Nature, Rotom-W can outrun a lot of its own counters as well. And the main purpose for this set is that as a Ghost-Type, Rotom helps Froslass block enemy Rapid Spins! I hope this works out~
Dragonite @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 56 Atk, 252 Sp.Atk, 200 Spd
Nature: Mild
- Superpower
- Draco Meteor
- Flamethrower
- Roost
As the final Pokemon of my team, I chose a Pokemon that seemed to work in nice Synergy with a few of my other Pokemon. While not as great as Salamence (remember, I don't like overly abused Pokemon that much), Dragonite can do a lot that he can't. Superpower has the ability to take out Calm Blissey in OHKO, I believe? Draco Meteor is the STAB used here, and can take down a ton of Pokemon without great defenses or Steel typing, usually. Flamethrower works nicely with opposing Scizor and other Steel-Types, among others. The Life Orb boosts all this even further, as well. Finally, Roost helps Dragonite stay alive for longer, especially after being hit with attacks, and Life Orb residual. Overall, a nice Mixed Sweeper.
As I said before, any help will be greatly appreciated! I hope you can help! ^^" Thanks~! :3
