This is my first RMT, I read the guide so I hope it will be fine.
Let's start.
Charizard (M) @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze
Level: 50
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HP
Modest Nature
- Overheat
- Heat Wave
- Solar Beam
- Protect
I choose Char Y as my core, as i think he is strongest lead, he can tank a lot of special sweeper, resist his water weakness with drought and spam boosted fire moves.
I prefer modest to timid as my objective is to spam powerful heat wave, and thanks to talonflame's tailwind this tactic is more effective.
Moves explained:
-Overheat is my last chance move, used to kill some pokemon in particular condition (kangaskhan, landorus in particular)
-Heat Wave is my main move, perfect for spamming in vgc, capable of OHKO a lot of pokemon, in couple can kill in one turn all enemies couple of pokemon.
-Solar beam is for coverage, can hit strong Miltoic, Rotom-w, T-tar.
-Protect of course is for predict.
Venusaur @ Venusaurite
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 252 HP / 124 Def / 76 SpA / 52 SpD / 4 Spe
Bold Nature
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
- Sleep Powder
- Protect
Venusaur is really strong with char y, his speed is doubled and could help with put pokemon sleeping with sleep powder.
I aimed to reinforce the bulk to spam as more as possible sleep powder.
Venusarite is in case char y is not usable against some enemy, and can make mega Venusaur a good lead with evs used specially for this condition (i need an help to have a good compromise of speed evs to both form)
Talk about moves:
-Giga drain is a good stab moves that helps venusaur staying alive
-Sludge Bomb is helpful against fairy type with good power with acces to spam boost
-Sleep powder is his main move, helping allies to hit hard in combination with allies' protect
-Protect is helpful to a change of tactic for allies, ad of course to protect.
Talonflame (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Gale Wings
Level: 50
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Quick Guard
- Flare Blitz
- Tailwind
I need Talonflame with his access to gale wings, i think he's a good support, supporting core against common fake out user and helping with his priority tailwind but can hit really hard some tedious pokemon like venusaur or amoonguss, adamant and life orb are helpful to make more damage possible.
His moves explanation:
-Brave Bird and -Flare Blitz hit really hard, one with priority and the other with CharY Drought's boost
-Quick Guard is essential against team with Kangaskhan as his fake out hits very hard, and quick guard makes him fragile against char y overheat.
-Tailwind helps my scarfed and fast pokemon against enemies scarfed or fast pokemon
Gyarados @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 52 Atk / 108 Def / 44 SpD / 52 Spe
Impish Nature
- Waterfall
- Taunt/Stone Edge
- Thunder Wave
- Protect
Gyarados is a good tank, accessing to thunder wave for speed control and power up raichu with is ability, he works also as a trap to thundurus' electic moves switching in to raichu to gain boost and neutralize moves like thunder wave.
I use Sitrus berry as Gyarados resists to a lot of moves, so with sitrus berry he is more helpful, also with his access to intimidate that help with switch against strong physicall sweeper.
His moves:
-Waterfall could help against rain team as its a good stab move for gyarados boosted by rain
-Taunt helps against trick room team as it block the move really fast with tailwind
-Stone Edge against charizard Y under the sun or to OHKO Talonflame.
-Protect if i cant switch in raichu in that turn covering electric moves.
Excadrill (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
Level: 50
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Rock Slide
- Shadow Claw/or anything else
I thought a lot about a pokemon who resists rock type as my team is not really covered to this type, i tried some pokemon but Excadrill not only resists the rock , but when scarfed is more dangerous than a bulky pokemon and is my only chance to kill Heatran.
Now talk about moves:
-Earthquake is main move OHKO a lot of pokemon in couple with char's heat wave, as i wrote before, its my only chance to kill heatran (after raichu's fake out if with baloon)
-Iron Head to hit bulky fairy type and pokemon who cannot be hit by EQ
-Rock slide for Flying pokemon and for OHKO char and talonflame
-Shadow Claw is not so useful but its my way to OHKO gengar (any other moves is accepted)
Raichu (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Lightning Rod
Level: 50
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fake Out
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Protect
Raichu is really umpredictable, really useful, fastast fake out user and my coverage against electric type, focus sash is for its fragile body but with protect and fake out he is really hard to kill (focus sash is for resist two times, using protect second time, excadrill EQ) timid to outspeed quite all pokemon except for talonflame.
-Fake out really useful as i explained before, block landorus while charizard hits with heat wave
-Thunderbolt or Thunder, don't know yet, hit hard, if +1 spA (with lighting rod), pokemon like milotic and make good damage against other.
-HP ice hits hard flying dragon as salamance, OHKO with +1, and covering against grass type and ground.
-Protect can help resisting EQ, to scout thundurus moves and to understand if enemies are scarfed.
