Dragon Offense

Hello everyone this is my first time using RMT, so if I'm not doing this correctly, correct me. Let's get to it. I've been experimenting with different pokemon and I've come up with this.

Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk / 128 SDef / 128 Def
Modest Nature
IVs: 30 Atk / 30 SAtk
- Hydro Pump
- Thunder
- Will-O-Wisp
- Hidden Power [Grass]

This Rotom-Wash is my bulky special attacker. Rotom's job is to wall powerful water type/ice type moves. Hydro Pump and Thunder have shaky accuracy, but if they hit(they most likely will) they will deal A LOT of damage. Will-O-Wisp is for unsuspecting physical attackers that can potentially deal lots of damage to my team. I chose HP Grass over HP Ice because I found that HP Ice only worked against faster and more powerful pokemon, or ones that could downright OHKO it. It also patches up my gastrodon weakness.

Chomper (Garchomp) (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Rough Skin
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Aqua Tail
- Dragon Claw

Choice banded Garchomp has incredible attack power. I chose a speed-increasing nature over an attack-increasing nature because the ability to outspeed common pokemon, like landorus, thundurus-t, and salamence, was much more crucial than the attack boost. Outrage is for those times that you need the extra power. Aqua tail is for coverage, earthquake is for a reliable STAB move, and dragon claw is also a reliable STAB move(when you don't want to get stuck in outrage)

Mamoswag (Mamoswine) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Stone Edge
- Icicle Spear

Mamoswine and Magnezone have excellent synergy with each other. They also support the dragon-part of my team very well. Ice shard is for reliable priority and sometimes is needed to knock those final HP points off of that pokemon. Earthquake is for reliable ground-type STAB, Stone Edge is for coverage, and Icicle spear is for those annoying gliscor. I also prefer it over icicle crash. The EV spread allows it to outspeed slower pokemon while managing to hit like a tank.

Magnezone @ Air Balloon
Trait: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 SAtk / 220 Spd / 36 Def
Timid Nature
- Flash Cannon
- Thunder
- Substitute
- Hidden Power [Fire]

Magnezone supports the dragon-part of my team by eliminating unsuspecting steel types, like skarmory or ferrothorn. Flash cannon and thunder are for powerful, reliable STAB moves, and can also be used against bulky ground or rock types. It also makes it a good initial switch-in for ground types. Substitute is to avoid status, and take hits it normally wouldn't be able to. No multi-hit moves can really easily break it's substitute easily anyways. HP fire is for taking out those steel-types that it traps in. The EV spread is to have a little bit of physical bulk, while managing to outspeed most steel-types and hit like a truck.

Latios (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Trick
- Draco Meteor
- Thunder
- Psyshock

Choice scarfed Latios is my scarfed revenge-killer. Other scarfed latios are common in the metagame, so I made mine as fast as possible. It can also outspeed cloyster and venusaur(sometimes). Psyshock is so Latios isn't completely walled by specially defensive walls, and also provides reliable STAB. Trick is to cripple walls, like blissey, or if I want to be able to change moves. Draco Meteor is to dominate enemies with an 140 base power move.

Gliscor (M) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 Spd / 72 Atk / 184 Def
Impish Nature
IVs: 30 Atk / 30 Def
- Earthquake
- Protect
- Stealth Rock
- Substitute

Gliscor is my defensive wall. It can put up stealth rocks, and also stall out the opposition. Earthquake is for STAB. My EV spread is designed so Gliscor can outspeed slower threats, be able to wall physical attacks, and manage to maintain some physical power. Substitute and protect can be used to stall and regain health strategically. It also patches up my fighting type weakness.

Thanks for reading, all comments are appreciated. Once again, this is my first time.
 
Hey nice team you got! There is a few nick picks I have for you. On magnezone you should let it hold leftovers and you should drop gliscor for a different Pokemon like forretress. With magnezone, you have two Pokemon with immunity (minus gliscor) so air baloon will be a kinda waste of tile. Leftovers may be more useful. With gliscor, you have an extra weakness to ice. so far that makes 3 who are weak. Too many weak to ice. To fix this problem, try Heatran over Gliscor. it gives 4x resistance to ice and you still have immunity with two polemon to ground attacks. And it can set up stealth rock like gliscor. Lastly, there is thunder on 2 pokemon but no rain. On magnezone give it charge beam over thunder. On starmie, give it thunderbolt over thunder.Reliability is good to have. Good luck :D
 
Hi, there

There are some things that in my opinion, should be modified from Pokemon sect Stealth Rock, I do not understand why give Stealth Rock to the kind that would look great on Gliscor Toxic> Stealth Rock, at least do something for the stall function of Substitute + Protect + Poison Heal, removing Stealth Rock to Gliscor can give a great time in Mamoswine, instead of Icicle Spear, so the move Ice most used by Mamoswine is Ice Shard which is the priority, to finish the dragons, Landorus, Thundurus-T and Gliscor well, I would venture a Superpower> Stone Edge, both with Stone Edge kill almost the same things as Ice Shard, also I see that there are moves in the team fight, one more way to kill Ferrothorn, for example.

On Rotom-W, absolutely Volt Switch> Thunder, is the main step to maintain the momentum and to leave the field, also do not understand the presence of all these Thunder in the team, whereas you do not play even under the rain, if you're up against Weather in danger of becoming another useless or nearly so. Then I do not understand evs evs spread, if you want a bulky attacker, it makes no sense to invent strange things, use it like this: 232 HP / 56 SpA / 220 Spe Modest, with Volt Switch / Hydro Pump / Will-O-Wisp / Pain Split / Hidden Power Ice and Leftovers, with evs in speed exceeds Adamant Mamoswine, Breloom, you can win one on one with SubToxic, Gliscor because it exceeds in speed, and at the same time, it can be an additional resource against Landorus.
Also on Latios, I would say that it is better Surf> Thunder, to get better coverage, and not to use, always at Draco Meteor, having to kill such Landorus, Landorus-T.

On Magnezone is better Leftovers> Air Balloon, to recover HP, removed from Substitute, in this way the possibility of using Substitute increase, see also here that uses Thunder, I would use or Thunderbolt for the accuracy, or Charge Beam for the increase of special attack.
Good luck, with your team!
 
Thanks for the comments guys, I changed Magnezone's item to leftovers, replaced thunder with thunderbolt(I missed 4 of those in a row), changed Rotom-W's EV spread to 232/56/220, and changed thunder to volt switch and hp ice to hp grass. I'm keeping gliscor, because I have a fighting type weakness without him. I've decided to switch stone edge to stealth rocks. I have experimented with superpower and it hasn't worked well for me. It fails to OHKO pokemon, then they can set up on my switch-out. I put sub/toxic/protect on gliscor to make it more of a staller. I also put surf on Latios for better coverage. Once again, thanks guys!
