Deoxys-S @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Reflect
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
I have tried many different leads but I always come back to this. I use Reflect on guys who think they can 2HKO Deoxy then go Rock Spikes on them. Ice Beam catches people off guard and I can get some 2HKOs with it, break Sash. I just really did not enjoy having a Poke with no attacks. I tried Psycho Boost but I've found I prefer Ice Beam. It's so fast it outruns almost everything so I use Bold Nature with max HP/Def EVs to help it survive longer.
Mamanbou (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Healing Heart
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Aqua Jet
- Protect
- Toxic
- Wish
Support/Wall, ruins Hihidaruma like no other. Wish/Toxic/Protect do so much for this team, I just outlast. Gets a lot of random kills with Aqua Jet and lets me take down Life Orb users with Wish + Jet.
Desukan (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Mummy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Haze
- Rest
- Shadow Ball
- Will-O-Wisp
Spin Blocker, Wall. I have been using HP Fighting over Rest, and I may go back to it but for now I'm trying Rest. Haze just ruins people, Will-O-Wisp goes hand in hand with it to give him survivability. Mummy is such a good ability for him too. I tested Evil Eye but Shadow Ball is a lot more consistent in my opinion, sometimes you don't have time to status things.
Roserade (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 132 SDef / 4 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Aromatherapy
- Giga Drain
- Leech Seed
- Toxic Spikes
Support/Cleric, I am very unsure on the EV spread for this but I love the moveset. Aromatherapy is so necessary to keep my walls upright. Toxic Spikes just adds to their trouble and I <3 Leech Seed vs Walls. Giga Drain is just the 4th attack and helps keep the HP up.
Baffuron (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Herbivore
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Afro Break
- Earthquake
- Megahorn
- Wild bolt
I've found my team was lacking muscle so I've been messing around with this spot a lot. I tried Heracross, Hitmontop, and Terakion all in this spot and none of them have really been great here so now I'm on Baffuron. The idea is just to break Walls with his Attack power and versatile moveset. I am really stumped on what would be better here though so suggestions would be nice.
Nidoking (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Encourage
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Earth Power
- Flamethrower
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
If I get my setup early this guy just kills dreams. Spikes/Rocks lets him OHKO so many things and I can still 2HKO most switch-ins even if they switch in the right counter. Such a stud.
My goal is just to setup early and play defensively from there on out, picking my spots to get KOs when I can and whittling them down. The only Pokemon I am really not sure off is Baffuron, the rest I would just appreciate EV suggestions and opinions on Rest vs HP Fighting on Desukan.
