I'm new to making pokemon teams and I need some help on my first team. It's a hyper offense team for singles.
Ultra (Rayquaza) @ Life Orb
Ability: Air Lock
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Ascent
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Extreme Speed
Ultra is a fast sweeper. Ultra is usually the pokemon I teratelize because then Extreme Speed has STAB and can one-shot frailer pokemon. Paired with the Life Orb and Dragon Dance, it does a lot of damage.
Claw (Sneasler) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Poison Touch
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Throat Chop
- Dire Claw
- Close Combat
One of the main reasons I have Claw is to defend against fairy types with Dire Claw. Dire Claw doesn't do much damage, but it has an added effect where it may inflict a status condition. Close Combat is Claw's best move, so I made it's tera type fighting even though I don't usually teratelized. Claw is actually a very good sweeper, but everybody has a flying and a ground type on their team so Claw's a little hard to switch into.
Bubbles (Azumarill) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Huge Power
Tera Type: Stellar
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Belly Drum
- Play Rough
- Knock Off
- Aqua Jet
Bubbles is a pokemon I'm not really sure works well with the team but I couldn't find anything better. Belly Drum is a risky move, but it makes Bubble's attack go up a lot. With the Sitrus Berry Bubbles can recover and land some more hits.
Fire (Arceus-Fire) @ Flame Plate
Ability: Multitype
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 128 Def / 252 SpA / 128 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Judgment
- Thunder
- Ice Beam
Fire is another great offensive pokemon. Calm Mind is a useful move for all the types of Arceuses (I think there Nintendo meant for there to only be one Arceus because there's no plural), so I used that move. Judgement is Arceus' signature move, and it's holding the Flame Plate, so that move becomes a fire type and gets STAB. Arceus' other moves are for coverage and I find them useful but if there's any better moves could you tell me?
Earthquake (Garchomp) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Rough Skin
Tera Type: Rock
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- Stone Edge
- Swords Dance
Earthquake's purpose is just to set up Stealth Rock and a few layers of Spikes. The Focus Sash makes so it has enough time to at least set up Stealth Rock. Earthquake dies every single game but always sets up Stealth Rock. I have never teratelized Garchomp my whole time playing because it basically lives to die.
Lion (Landorus-Therian) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
Tera Type: Ice
EVs: 8 HP / 240 Atk / 8 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- U-turn
- Earthquake
- Tera Blast
- Stone Edge
Lion is sort of an offensive pivoit. It's tera type exists for defensive reasons. I have spamed Tera Blast a lot and Lion is a useful pokemon. My only problem is that I can't find another rock type move to use instead of Stone Edge because it never hits.
