I wanted to create a VGC Team that would threaten weather control pokemon and a fair few of Bulky Ones.
The Team: https://pokepast.es/bdb0e55ae54f138a
Tyranitar @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 161 HP / 252 Atk / 50 Def / 45 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Rock Slide
- Protect
- Lash Out
- Superpower
Tyranitar is here to threaten other Drizzle and Drought Users, as well as incoming Tyranitars and excadrill. Superpower is a guaranteed OHKO attack for these two main threats. Lash out was particularly useful for Incoming Intimidate users like Incineroar who would be teamed up with dragapult so another OHKO there. Togekiss is another main threat because of its bulk, however running stone edge is too risky and Rock slide will not do enough to a Normal Togekiss.
Dusclops @ Eviolite
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 HP / 92 Def / 164 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Will-O-Wisp
- Bulldoze
- Trick Room
- Pain Split
I have purposely made Tyranitar slow for the Trick Room/ Weakness policy sweep. Trick Room is particularly nice for these two because of their natural bulk in Physical defenses and somewhat special as well. This works amazingly with the added effect of bulldoze for the soul purpose to activate Tyranitar's Weakness Policy. Pain split is there for incoming Toxapexes and Togekiss's which would be a guarantee kill for Tyranitar. Will-O-Wisp is very useful for Physically run Dragapults, excadrills and other Tyranitars as well which are big threats to this team.
Palossand @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Shore Up
- Terrain Pulse
- Shadow Ball
Palossand is my natural bulky monster, who eats up dracos and from Dragapult and other opposing threats. He is a very safe and reliable Pokemon with the ability sand veil to miss other opposing dracos, rock slides and overall any major threats to this team. Sand Veil also allows the Palossand to regain health more safely in the sandstorm. Safety goggles are there for Spore running shinotics and Amoongus's as well. Terrain pulse is becoming increasingly handy against Indeedee's and Rilaboom's who are very popular and can set up Terrains as well.
Torkoal @ Charcoal
Ability: Drought
EVs: 82 HP / 70 Def / 252 SpA / 104 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Eruption
- Burning Jealousy
- Protect
- Earth Power
Torkoal is my 2nd Weather Setter. He can eat up hits very well and dish a lot off damage back thanks to the sun and Charcoal boosted Burning Jealousy's. With Dusclop's Trick room activated, Torkoal can sweep through teams with eruption at full health and can easily live dracos from dragapult and an earthquake from offensive Excadrill's. Burning jealousy has become super useful from Max Airstream Togekiss's and Earth power is there for other Tyranitar's.
Grimmsnarl (M) @ Light Clay
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Reflect
- Spirit Break
- Taunt
- Thunder Wave
Grimmsnarl is one of my favourite pokemon because it works so well with Tyranitar. Always having to set up a reflect first with Tyranitar is too good. Spirit Break is very good against other duralodons which means we will survive the incoming flash cannon from them. Taunt works very well with other Amoongus's and Follow Me Togekiss's as well. Thunder wave is especially useful against other Dragapults and Cinderace's which then we can widdle down their HP with Spirit Break.
Venusaur-Gmax @ Wide Lens
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 108 HP / 52 Def / 140 SpA / 4 SpD / 204 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Sleep Powder
- Sludge Bomb
- Leaf Storm
Finally is Venusaur-Gmax This guy can dish out soo much damage with leaf storm, Its too good to not be in a team. It Works very well with my Bulky Torkoal and with Sleep powder which almost hits every time, It is almost game Over for the other Team. Sludge bomb is a threat for other Togekiss's, hatterines and Alcremies's as well. It has the Physical bulk to live High Horsepowers from other Physical Attacker's as well as providing support for my pokemon.. G-Max vine lash is a good way to stall out and tank lots of hits while Doing lots of damage in return.
