BL/UU PBR Team

Tok09

Okay, as you would know it's a BL/UU PBR team. I decided no spiker because there will only be 2 other Pokemon in reserve. But still, a spinner, just in case. It's a fairly well balanced team. 2 sweepers, 2 walls, 2 tanks.


Toxicroak @ Life Orb
Adamant Nature
Anticipation
252 Atk/ 252 Spd/ 6 HP
Cross Chop
Poison Jab
Sucker Punch
Stone Edge

It's just a physical sweeper. Nothing really to do except sweep. Having a 4x weakness to psychic I have 2 other members to wall it. Sucker punch is to make up for Toxicroak's base 85 speed. Cross chop and Poison Jab are for
STAB moves and stone edge is for a hard-hitting rock type move.


Charizard @ Choice Specs
Modest Nature
Blaze
252 Sp.Atk/ 252 Spd/ 6 HP
Fire Blast
Hidden Power [Ice]
Focus Blast
Ancient Power

My Special Sweeper. Fire Blast is for a strong STABed attack. Hidden Power Ice is for hitting Grounds, flying and any Dragons if I see them on Random Wifi-Battles. HP Ice also gets Grass' if I'm locked into into it. Focus Blast is to get Normal Types, Rock types and Dark types. Fire Blast DOES hit Ice and steel, but I can still sweep if I'm locked into it. Ancient Power is just a filler move. I will take any suggestions for a better move.


Blastoise @ Lum Berry
Adamant Nature
Torrent
252 Atk/ 252 HP/ 6 Def
Aqua Jet
Waterfall
Avalanche
Rapid Spin

Blastoise- The Tank that looks like a tank. Aqua Jet is to finish off anything a team member started. Waterfall is a good STABed move. Avalanche has a good chance of 2x power because Blastoise is slow. Brick Break has excellent coverage along with Avalanche.


Gardevoir @ Shell Bell
Calm Nature.
Synchronize
168 Sp.Def/ 174 Sp. Atk/ 168 HP
Psychic
Calm Mind
Thunderbolt
Energy Ball

As I said before, my psychic blocker. If the opponent lacks a ghost/dark/bug move, they will most likely switch this gives me the chance to CM up. Psychic has STAB. Thunderbolt is to make up for the Electric Moves that my team lacks and Energy Ball is a good Grass Type move. If Energy Ball doesn't work I can put a status move on.

Meganium @ Leftovers
Calm Nature
Overgrow
252 HP/ 252 Sp.Def
Giga Drain
Leech Seed
Synthesis
Toxic

The Special Wall of my team. All of its moves involve HP restoring or draining the foe of HP. I might replace Giga Drain with Protect. I can Toxi-Seed stall with Synthesis and protect (if it comes).


Steelix @ Chesto Berry
Impish Nature
Sturdy
100/ 252 Def/ 156 Sp.def
Earthquake
Rest
Crunch
Toxic

The Solid Snake (Sound familiar? From SSBB or Metal Gear solid?) One of the best physical walls in BL/UU with an astounding base 200 Defense. Base 65 Sp.def isn't too good though, so I put 156 EVs into it, making it capable to reach 200-ish.
Earthquake has STAB. Rest is it's recovery move and with Chesto Berry it can keep bombarding EQs and Crunch. Crunch is to get Psychic types ang ghost types. Steelix is my other Toxicroak protector. Wall with Steelix's steel type then counter with Crunch, if my opponent switches I have a small chance of a defense drop. A fang is still an option.


Well that's my team, hope you like it! Leave any suggestions!
 
Well this team could use a pretty good revamp.

I would not suggest Toxicroak as a lead, but rather something a tad faster. Not to say it isn't effective, but with trick being so popular, it easily falls target to it. A Scarfed Typhlosion over your Charizard would function very effectively as a lead. It's fast, powerful, and a STABed Eruption hurts anything for at least a bit... sans ninetails. But in Most Cases, it can work with Trick since usually Scarfs or Specs are passes, and neither hinder the set.
Try this:
Typhlosion@ Choice Scarf
144 Atk / 252 SpA / 112 Spe
Mild

-Eruption
-Earthquake
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Overheat

Blastoise should really just serve as utility, and the attack EVs should be moved to Defence for better survivability. Also, Remove waterfall and Avalanche and add Yawn/Protect/Toxic/Rest ... Whatever floats your boat.

For Gardevoir, I strongly reccomend a Timid nature and these EVs:
56 HP / 252 SpA / 200 Spe. Shell Bell is Fairly Obsolete. Give it Either Leftovers or Wise Glasses or Expert Belt.

For Meganium, I reccomend these EVs:216 HP / 148 Def / 144 SpA The set is effective, but I would add light screen/ Reflect or Aromatherapy, since status would easily hinder a team with severral sweepers. and Energy Ball > Giga Drain. The Recovery is usually so minimal that energy ball is far more favorable and powerful for that matter ^__^

Steelix really seems kinda obsolete to me... you have Meganium and Blastoise, which is fairly defensive already.
And other than Typhlosion and Gardevoir, the team is fairly slow. Crobat is a great Pokemon to add some Speed and Status to this team and also a much needed taunter. I reccomend this set:

Crobat@Leftovers
Timid
160 HP / 132 SpA / 216 Spe

-Hypnosis
-Taunt
-U-Turn
-Aerial Ace/Air Slash

Hope your Team works well!
 
Toxicroak isn't a lead. It's for PBR so you always pick the lead at the start of the battle. If I use Blastoise as a physical wall, I want a recovery move. So rest is my only option meaning I should give it Chesto berry. But I really like my Tank Blastoise.
Gardevoir has around base 100 sp.def so I don't see the reason why I can't make it tankish. And I really don't know how to use Crobat.

Also I don't have Shoddy or Platnuim version, so no Trick as a move tutor.
 
Well, it's your choice if you want to implement my changes, so if you don't like my ideas, that's fine.
 
This team really lacks speed. As Olie suggested, you could use crobat which is a fine lead and sleep inducer or aerodactyl (stealth rock, earthquake, taunt, rock slide). Lately, in my rain dance pass, I'm using an electrode lead with: taunt, rain dance, thunder, explosion (hasty) and I can assure that a fast lead with taunt can be very helpful when facing trick room teams and sleep inducing leads. If you decide to use typhlosion, consider the use of a stealth rocking pokemon, otherwise focus sashers (very common on PBR) will ruin your sweep. Have a nice day.
 
Making your Gardevoir more defencive, preferably with Wish, would really help your team out. You lack reliable recovery outside of Leech Seed and Rest and Blastoise is dying for it. It also helps ease Charizards pain every time it switches into SR.
 
Okay, I'll chuck Stealth Rock onto Steelix. And if both you say this team lacks speed, I'll use Olie's suggested Gardevoir. I could use the Aerodactyl lead in place of Toxicroak. But, I'm not fond of Stealth Rock Suicide lead.

But if any of you have any ideas as replacements, just to let you know, I like having 3 physical hitters and 3 special hitters.

Good idea. I will use a mix EVs of Sp.atk, hp and Speed. But 1 question, how do I get wish on Gardevoir?

Don't pay attention to this question, it's a mistake. I found out.

Level 17, aka a Heart Scale.
Or a event ralts with wish.

This is pretty much straight out of the analysis, but the full out support set runs Modest 252 HP / 48 SpA / 176 SpD / 32 Spe with Wow/Wish/T-Bolt/Psychic, however if you wanted to keep it as a CMer you could drop energy ball for Wish and run Timid + 56 HP / 252 SpA / 200 Spe (recommended CMer EVs)

EDIT: Also don't double post - use the edit button.
 
It's near impossible to give a rate for a team for PBR, just because you can only pick 3 pokemon, and your opponent could be using a team full of Giratina, or a team full of Luvdisc. You just don't know. That way, the "sucessful" team for PBR is just a couple of sweepers, like Lucario, Floatzel and Gengar, thrown together. So...Yeah.
