Dugizone

Sazandoringlps

Well here i have a team that i have been testing out for the past week nd like the title says its a dugtrio magnezone team if you dont know what a dugtrio,magnezone team is its a tem that traps your opponents pokes... well most of them and let your sweepers/beaters to not have a trouble with the threats that where on the other team.Now here is the team


Dugtrio (F) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Arena Trap
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Reversal
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Sucker Punch

Dugtrio is the threat clearing unit with magnezone.I picked the focus sash set without stealth rock and sucker punch because i have both espeon and jirachi so stealth rock isnt that big of a deal.Sucker punch is there so that dugtrio gets the priority that it misses with stealth rock the other 3 are normal so...



Magnezone @ Leftovers
Trait: Magnet Pull
EVs: 44 HP / 212 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Substitute
- Charge Beam
- Thunderbolt

Magnezone is there to partner up with dugtrio so it can catch skarm and scizor and be sure to OHKO scizor without being damaged from a BP from a scizor.The choosing of the set is easy because this is a sweeper so this set is very sutable for the role



Espeon (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Magic Bounce
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Shadow Ball
- Psychic
- Baton Pass

Espi is here to bounce back hazards that can break the focus sash from dugtrio and to hit hard if put in a corner.Espi can also draw out a T-tar or Scizor so having Baton Pass on it isnt that bad of an idea just on this set is pretty weird.the other are pretty normal....so


Jirachi @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 224 SDef / 32 Spd
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Wish
- Iron Head
- Body Slam

Rachi is a poke that takes hits hat the rest of the team cant and set up stealth rocks also to put gengar in check seeing that the sub can be broken by an iron head and just does good in that team in general.
Rachi also can pass off wishes



Latias (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Dragon Pulse
- Wish
- Protect

Latias is a set up sweeper that can tke hits calm mind up/wish up and dragon pulse for masive damage this set was made by a friend and can sweep a whole team with no problem.


Rotom-W @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs:
Hardy Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Volt Switch
- Signal Beam
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Rotom is the pokemon that covers the celebi weakness...kinda well and maybe the dragonite weakness also to get magnezone and dugtrio a kill to let the team do better.




Over all this team i shit but i really like 3rd gen and 4th gen with magnezone/ton and dugtrio and i really want to make a team around them but this team does struggle with other pokes like dragonite,celebi and others like that because once jirachi is gone then the team is going to get shit on


Please help im pretty bad at team building and i woud love and imput i get

Thanks,
Sazandoring :]
 
if dugtrio dies how are you going to kill special walls? Also you should give espeon calm mind or sub if you want it to baton pass, otherwise you should have another attack, or a screen.

Tho the team is okay imo, synergy is alright. Removing threats with trio and mag for latias sweep. I can see something like haxorus comming and getting a dance on the switch giving you big problems as you dont have much to take hits from it. its mold breaker will ignore levitate on latias and rotom and neither will take a boosted EQ very well. Thats one thing ive noticed, Also i can see you having trouble dealing with a gliscor / special wall combination, perhaps more experienced players can give you advice im still rather new as well.

I dont see much use for signal beam on rotom, maybe give it rest/chesto berry, or Wilowisp for crippling physical sweepers if u can get a safe switch into it.

If no one else comments ill think about it some more and give better adv :P (ps rotom's ev's are missing, and your comment says you have celebii on your team.)
 
You will get destroyed by common cores such as SkarmBliss... Therefore, I think an excellent poke to use would be an Mixed Infernape. This guy will solve a lot of your problems by hitting mixed and destroying Blissey and Skarmory. I know you built this with Dugtrio, but he doesn't really do anything for you, no threats that must be removed. I'd say he is the current weak link of your team. I propose replacing Dugtrio with the Infernape. I also suggest you try using sub + recover over wish + protect on Latias. You'll find it much more useful. To clean it all up, I suggest a couple more minor tweaks: a different Rotom-W set to take Steel and Fire hits better, and a different Espeon set. GL and hope I helped!

Infernape > Dugtrio
Espeon > EV change
Rotom-W > EV change

Infernape (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Infernape
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Nature: Naive
-Close Combat
-U-turn
-Overheat
-Mach Punch/Stone Edge

Espeon (F) @ Rocky Helmet
Trait: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Nature: Timid
-Reflect
-Light Screen/Wish
-Psychic
-Protect/Wish/HP Fighting

Rotom-W (N) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 112 HP / 144 Def / 252 SpA
Nature: Modest
-Hydro Pump
-Thunderbolt
-Will-o-Wisp
-Pain Split
 
I guess it's a minor detail, but I really hate it when it actually comes to play. I suggest lowering your defenses on Dugtrio as much as possible to guarantee that Sash will break to using Reversal. So Hasty/Naive with 0 Def IVs. Don't lower your HP below 21 IVs though, since that means that Seismic Toss will be able to 2HKO you.

So I see, that things normally walled by Tyranitar and Steels, that this team really helps. So it's great you have a CM Latias. However, you really should be using either 252 HP, 4 SpA, 252 Spe Timid or 252 HP, 228 Def, 28 Spe Bold because the special defense is going to be boosted by Calm Mind (infact, 1 CM boost to an uninvested Special Defense is still higher than maxed out physical defense) so it's a real waste to put those EVs there.

And use a Scarf Rotom-W, which can revenge kill lots of the sweepers that cause you grief that were listed above (Haxorus, Dragonite) and gives you a weapon against SkarmBliss. Your team really lacks speed. Rotom is also great at luring in things to trap like Tyranitar which works well for Latias.

Rotom-W @Choice Scarf
Levitate
4 HP, 252 SpA, 252 Spe
Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
-Hydro Pump
-Volt Switch
-Hidden Power Ice
-Trick

Finally, you can have MixApe like the person above said, but that doesn't give you a 100% counter against Tyranitar for a Latias sweep (it's still a counter, so definitely consider that before doing what I'm going to say). So I say putting Stealth Rock over Sucker Punch on Dugtrio, since its main job is to trap and kill, and there isn't a single thing I can think of that can be revenge killed with Sucker Punch but not Duggy's other moves. And then, change the Jirachi set for a SubCM variant to beat Blissey/Chansey.

Jirachi @Leftovers
Serene Grace
252 HP, 4 SpA, 252 Spe
Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
-Substitute
-Calm Mind
-Psyshock
-Thunderbolt
