Just making a team to try and get a 100-win streak, and I think I need some help. Also, please note that these are my in-game pokemon, and the three I am using right now are obviously locked into their natures already, so please don't suggest I change natures because I don't want to raise more at the moment. I am willing to redo EVs or get different pokemon however, so critique away!
Gengar @ Focus Sash
Timid Nature
Ability: Levitate
EV's: 252 Sp. Att / 252 Spd / 4 HP
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
- Destiny Bond
My lead. Basically, my goal is to take out as many pokemon as possible before Gengar dies. If something that I can't hit for over 50% damage is sent out first and hits me over 50%, meaning the next turn I will die, I just use Destiny Bond and take both of us down. This pretty much guarantees that I will kill at least one pokemon, if not the whole AI's team. The only real threat I see to this set being effective are Sand Streamers/Hail users, as they will break my sash immediately, but there are not enough of them to be a worry really. Besides, even if one is sent out, the AI will probably be too stupid to do anything that would really jeopardize this set anyways.
Magnezone @ Wet Rock
Timid Nature
Ability: Magnet Pull
EV's: 252 Sp. Atk / 216 Spd / 40 Atk
- Rain Dance
- Thunder
- Signal Beam / Flash Cannon / Reflect / Magnet Rise
- Explosion
Unfortunately, this Magnezone was cursed with HP Psychic (which I don't think is really that desirable) so I'm not quite sure what to do with the third slot. Another attack option would be nice in case I send him out against something that is immune to/ resists Thunder, but Reflect or Magnet Rise could help me stay alive longer. Anyways, the main goal of this one is to either set up Rain and sweep, or to set up Rain and then Explode. If I Explode, the rain is quite beneficial to my last pokemon:
Kingdra @ Leftovers
Adamant Nature
Ability: Swift Swim
EV's: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Outrage
- Substitute
Obviously, in the rain this thing is a beast; I see no reason why I would need to use anything other than Waterfall to finish off whatever's left of the AI at that point. But, if for some reason I have gotten haxed or whatever and no rain is present, I can still rely on hiding behind the sub, setting up, and sweeping. I can't get roared out because he will be the last pokemon, and status shouldn't be a problem because of the sub. The phenomenal type coverage offered by Water and Dragon is only resisted by Empoleon, which is covered quite well by my first two pokemon. I see no reason why Kingdra would have problems pulling this set off well, rain or no rain.
