Ok so this is my first competitive RU team and I've had a TON of success with it so far. I got to 1400 so far on Pokemon Showdown with it..and I feel like maybe you guys can provide some feedback or maybe other options I could use while still fufilling the role of each individual typing. This whole team is based around determining what move the opponent willl use and making a switch in based on that, and getting the associated buff, or simply granting immunity to x move type and allowing a set up while they are forced to switch or die.
Ambipom @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- U-turn
- Return
- Knock Off
Just one of my favorites in ru honestly. If anything could be replaced it would be him though. Very cliche moveset, however useful it may be. I need hazards and/or a spinner :(
Gastrodon @ Leftovers
Ability: Storm Drain
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Ice Beam
- Earth Power
- Toxic
- Recover
bread and butter. the overused of RU. Storm drain lets me switch in on those pesky waters and start messing stuff up hardcore. Generally i can make any water type cry with him, and force the switch.
Gourgeist-Super @ Assault Vest
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Seed Bomb
- Flame Charge
- Rock Slide
- Shadow Sneak
Gourgeist is for the fighting type switch in, mainly. Use flame charge to get the speed up and wear down the whole team with his great coverage and RS flinches.
Zebstrika @ Air Balloon
Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Flame Charge
- Wild Charge
- Toxic
- Bounce
Gastrodons savior. the grass type moves will be their demise, like so many teams before...hahaha another setup for sweeping etc :)
Emboar @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Superpower
- Head Smash
- Wild Charge
Another overused of RU, emboar is my primary sweeper and for good reason. Amazing coverage and hopefully his godlike hidden ability soon provides some much needed damage on unsuspecting victims
Zoroark @ Choice Specs
Ability: Illusion
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Dark Pulse
- Extrasensory
- Flamethrower
- Grass Knot
Again, mainly for the psychic switch off of emboar. Primary special sweeper :)
