Right I like bugs and dragons, done a bug team on Y, thought I'd do a dragon one here. Now this is mainly for wifi battles in mind, it doesn't have to be perfection, just decent enough to nab some wins...
Here's what I have, I'll add comments/queries under each mon and overall after the last one.....
1) Altaria "Conflicted" @ Altarianite
Ability: Natural cure
Nature: Adamant
EV's: 64HP, 192 Att, 252 Speed
Moves:
Return
EQ
Dragon Dance
Roost
This seems a pretty standard set and from me using it so far seems very effective, no real comments on this.
2) Dragalge "Trinity" @ choice specs
Ability: Adaptability
Nature: Modest
EV's: 200hp, 252 spA, 56 Speed
Moves:
Draco Meteor
Sludge Wave
Focus Blast
Hidden power fire
Again standard nuke. Not sure if the 30% poison from bomb is best or the 5 higher base power? I'm assuming wave as this thing is, for the most part, more bothered about scoring OHKO/2HKO's on everything.
3) Salamence "Hotshot" @ Life orb
Ability: Moxie
Nature:Jolly
EV's: 252 att, 252 speed, 4 hp
Moves:
Outrage
Dragon claw
EQ
Fire blast
Probably something horribly wrong with this as it's one I came up with without checking out Smogon lol. So the idea is for this to come in on something ideally already damaged so it can score a KO, then proceed to sweep with the moxie boost(s)
4) Hydreigon "Requital" @ Choice scarf
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Modest
EV's: 252 Sp.att, 252 Speed, 4 Att
Moves:
Draco meteor
Dark pulse
Flash cannon
Earth power
Revenge killer, had a bit of 4MSS, wasn't sure on flash cannon or U-turn, went with the former for now
5) Kingdra "Captious" @ Scope lens
Ability: Sniper
Nature: Modest
EV's: 64HP, 252 Sp. Att, 192 Speed
Moves:
Focus energy
Draco meteor
Hydro pump
Hidden power fire
Stantard critdra, albeit should I run Hydro pump or surf/scald? I have had a few frustrating hydro misses...
6) Goodra "Voluminous" @ Assault vest
Ability: Sap sipper
Nature: Modest
EV's: 240 HP, 252 Sp. att, 16 speed
Dragon pulse
Fire blast
Sludge bomb
Muddy water
Went with Pulse over meteor as if its ends up tanking a special attacker later on would rather let it use stab without suffering stat drop.
Now I suppose my main concern is whether or not I need to alter the coverage options? A lot have run fire blast/hp fire, now it often has important uses, but it does mean there are multiple types which I lack the coverage for, particularly thinking flying, no t-bolt or ice beam. Could stick ice beam on critdra over hp fire, and simply switch if needed, or could stick bolt or beam on Goodra/Hydreigon.
