I woke up this morning and found this team loaded on my PO. I decided to give it a try, not knowing if I made it or if I simply stole it from the internet. I made several changes from the team I found on my computer. (you don't need to read the rest of this paragraph) I'm assuming that my mind was not functioning properly. There are several reasons why that is, but I won't go into detail.
This fellow was added after this exact set kept tearing through me.
Rotom-W @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Trick
Rotom-W was not originally on this team, but after playing several matches I realized that I needed a lead of some sort. I replaced Golurk with this litte guy. Golurk was dead weight and I'd be more than willing to switch Rotom out for a better lead.
Ever since I first laid eyes on Lucario he's been my favorite. He may not the greatest poke in existence, but I figure I'll build a team around the pokes that I love. (It's more fun that way)
Lucario (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Inner FocusEVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Dark Pulse
- Vacuum Wave
- Aura Sphere
- Nasty Plot
This set is fairly self explanatory. I felt that Lucario's Aura Sphere was too good to not use, so I went with the special set. After Zypher's suggestion Lucario is now running Nasty Plot with Life Orb.
This was a Hitmontop, now it's a Forretress...
Forretress @ Leftovers
Nature @ Relaxed
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
-Spikes
-Stealth Rock
-Rapid Spin
-Gyro Ball
This was Swampert (my 2nd favorite poke) Now it's Gastradon.
Gastrodon @ Leftovers
Nature @ Calm
Ability @ Storm Drain
Evs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
-Earth Power
-Ice Beam / Scald
-Toxic
-Recover
Not an aboslute favorite, but how can you not like this guy?
Volcarona (F) @ Chesto Berry
Trait: Flame Body
EVs: 160 HP / 252 SAtk / 96 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Quiver Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Rest
- Fiery Dance
I believe Volcarona was added to compensate for an obvious problem with the likes of Celebi and other grass users. I like the rest set because it allows me to get a few QDs and still be at full health to use them. If I can get up 3 QDs and then rest off the damage this bug is almost unstoppable.
Ok, yes. He's the boss. 'Nuff said.
Sharpedo (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 104 HP / 252 Atk / 152 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Aqua Jet[
- Crunch
- Waterfall
- Protect
This guy is a monster among monsters. I've found his moveset rather limiting though. I'd like to replace Aqua Jet with something, but I'm not sure what. I even considered running him with rest @Lum Berry. That would give him more time to do what he does. I've also considered replacing Aqua Jet with Ice Fang to handle some of the more obscure threats. Every time I think about doing that though, I realize that it doesn't make enough sense for me to actually do it.
Comments on the team as a whole:
This team has some problems, it's hovering at just above .500. I've had some problems with the likes of Cottonee and Celebi despite my Volcarona's best efforts. Some of my losses are due to poor play, but not enough to write this team off as worthless and start all over.
