Ok, i created this team a couple hours ago.
Basically, I centered it around Mega Pidgeot: it is one of my favourite pokemon, but i had never found a way to use it effectively, but now it's time for him to shine and to destroy souls with his powerful hurricanes.
I peaked #6 so far, with 13 wins in a row (i lost two matches before with another team), but i know i'm probably not going to stay there for long, because we're still at the beginning of the suspect test.
It has a good sinergy, but i still have some doubts.
Here's the team
Pidgeot @ Pidgeotite
Ability: Big Pecks
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hurricane
- Roost
- U-turn
- Heat Wave
Basically, I love mega Pidgeot, it's by far one of my favourite pokemon, so i decided to build a team around it.
Hurricane is a highly spammable move with a nice 30% chance of causing confusion, which has saved pidgeot a few times. I usually lead with it, and if i can't beat the opposing lead i U-turn or switch right out if I'm slower before mega-evolving.
I try to mega evolve it as quickly as possible in order to pass him a NP from celebi and start having some fun. Also it's really good against offence, even if it hates strong priority from the likes of scizor and azumarill, as well as faster pokemon.
Keldeo @ Leftovers
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Secret Sword
I love this keldeo set, it sets up on many defensive pokemons and it's a huge problem for stall to face.
It's my main (and only, besides getting all the way to +6 with celebi and passing it to Pidgeot, which is quite hard to do against a competent player) answer to chansey and my win condition against stall and sometimes it nets a kill or two against other playstiles. Sometimes it's a good recipient for a Nasty plot Boost, thanks to its high speed.
Hippowdon @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Force
EVs: 252 HP / 144 Def / 112 SpD
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Slack Off
- Toxic
My main physical sponge. It has won me a game on its own against a highly competent team. It can beat so many pokemon just by stalling with slack off and toxic. It also sets up rocks, i just love this pokemon.
Before I had defensive lando-T on this team, but I noticed it didn't do a damn thing (maybe it's just me, I hate Landorus-Therian with all my heart).
It's also a good answer to all those Aegislash running around.
Heatran @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Flash Cannon
- Fire Blast
- Ancient Power
I tend to put heatran on every team I build, because it's so versatile and one of the strongest pokemon around. I gave him a choice scarf to revenge kill all the talonflames and the charizards which otherwise are serious problems. It also demolishes every Aegislash as long as i don't switch into a Sacred Sword.
Celebi @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 148 Def / 108 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Giga Drain
- Nasty Plot
- Baton Pass
- Recover
Here's the hero of the team. It has won nearly all of my matches. It does everything: it walls Lati@s as long as rocks aren't up and i don't get critted, it can passes a NP to the special monsters of the team and sometimes it sweeps on its own. Unfortunately it has some problems with talonflame, which can force me directly out.
Excadrill @ Assault Vest
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 200 HP / 196 SpD / 112 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Iron Head
- Rock Slide
Here's the weak point of the team. I basically absolutely needed a spinner, and i didn't wanted to put starmie because of all the aegislash which can block its spin and kill it, in fact on of the main causes of the fall of starmie to UU was the presence of aegislash back in XY. However, defensive excadrill isn't good. It's better than choice scarf, because scarf drill leavs just too much free set up once it has locked into the wrong move or rapid spin, and in general if I miss a prediction it can cost me the game. It also doesn't offer much in terms of defensive sinergy.
I don't know how to replace it, i need a way to get rid of hazards, so if you have a suggestion, that's what i'm looking for, tell me how to get rid of this stupid mole.
Speaking of pokemon my team is weak to, i've noticed mainly offensive starmie and talonflame.
The first one can ohko every member of the team, so i have to mega evolve Pidgeot as quickly as possibile to ouspeed it, but a smart player can just switch out.
Talonflame can scare out celebi or keldeo, set up an SD and cause serious problems.
I know it's kinda early to post an RMT, but i just wanted to receive suggestions about it, I'm free to accepts critics and to change the team to deal with the problems it has.
Sorry for the eventual mistakes, i'm not an English native speaker, i'm Italian.
Feel free to leave impressions and suggestions.
Lol by the time i wrote this i already went down to #7.
