After a couple of weeks trying to play OU and UU, I decided to try RU because I found OU slightly repetitive and UU slightly stally.
Ru fared slightly better but still,for some reason, it didn't feel right for me.
And then I tried NU.
And man did I try NU.
A couple of weeks ago I started making a team around one of my favorite pokemon,Electrode.
Eventually,the Team lost its focus on Electrode and the Limelight fell on the Team as a whole as a whole.
AT A GLANCE!
Team Building process.
AND THE TEAM!!!!!
UsainJolt the Genderless Electrode
Item: Life Orb Trait: Static
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Taunt
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Thunder Wave
This guys role is to stall break and revenge kill.I was thinking about changing HP Ice to HP Water but I really like hitting Cacturne.Partners with Altaria because it really likes killing Almomolas.But we'll get to Altaria in a little bit.
Thunder wave is to hinder my opponent's ChoiceUsers or Set up Sweepers.
Life orb in conjunction with Timid (as suggested by ChaoticaMortis)Takes care of certain threats to the team such as Gorebyss and Cinccino.
-Role I want this pokemon to fit:A fast pokemon (Minimum 90Base speed that can hinder both Walls and Offensive Pokemon) while still hitting relatively hard.
-Other pokemon that could fit this Role: I can't think of anything that is standardly used.
-Why do I use this pokemon over another: It's the Fastest pokemon with both Taunt and Twave,being the best ways to hinder walls and offensive Pokes respectively.
-Why those Ev's?:252 Spec.Att to hit as hard as possible with Pseudo Bolt Beam.252 Speed is there to be as fast as possible without a +speed Nature.4 Def because it will be switching in on/taking mostly physical hits.
-Any Pokemon looking to try out for this position?:Not at the moment.
-Any changes to the pokemon in the works?:Not atm.
Potato the Male Golem
Leftovers Trait: Sturdy
EVs:212 HP / 252 Atk / 44 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Sucker Punch
- Stone Edge
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
Unfortunately for the previous team member,this guy is faster,does basically the
same thing as Gigalith,Guaranteed SR and tries to nab 1/2 kills.Hts most leads for SE damage.Sucker Punch is there if Golem is to low to take another Hit and wants to damage something.
-Role I want this pokemon to fit:A pokemon that can guaranteed get up SR and hit pretty hard.
-Other pokemon that could fit this role:Gigalith,Miltank,Probopass,Torterra are what I can think of atm.
-Why I use this pokemon over another:Golem is faster,has great Dual Stab,can get up guaranteed SR up, and has Priority.
-Why those EV's:Because of Sturdy I don't need to invest much in defenses,so I instead chose to put 212 in HP.252 Attack to hit as hard as possible.44 Speed to be faster than other Golems.
-Any Pokemon looking to try out for this position?:I might try other pokemon such as Regirock,Miltank etc but so far I have found Golem superior.
-Any changes to the Pokemon in the works?:Not atm.
Pashmina the Female Cinccino
Item:Choice Scarf Trait: Skill Link
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Seed
- Tail Slap
- Rock Blast
- U-Turn
And Primary revenge killer right here.Aqua tail over Wake up Slap because WUS has an evident lack of power without technician.Other than that,its a pretty standard Cinccino that can nab kills on mostly everything in this Metagame.
EDIT:Changed Aqua Tail to U-Turn because I played over 20 games and only used it 2 times leading me to believe that I would prefer Scouting on her than a Water type Attack to hit Golem.
-Role I want this pokemon to fit:A viable Physical Revenge killer.
-Other Pokemon that could fit this Role:
-Why I use this Pokemon over another?:It's ability to hit most of the threats in NU for either an OHKO or 2HKO consistently without drawbacks(apart from accuracy).
-Why those EV's?:Max ATT and 252 Speed because as a Physical Revenge Killer want it to hit as hard and fast as possible.4 Def because it will be taking mostly physical attacks.
-Any Pokemon looking to try out for this position?:Not at this moment.
-Any changes to the Pokemon in the works?:Not Atm
Oh Dear! the Female Sawsbuck
Item: Life Orb Trait: Sap Sipper
EVs: 252 Atk /4 Def /252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Double-Edge
- Horn Leech
- Swords Dance
- Nature Power
This set if I recall correctly can hit mostly everything for SE Damage and all for Neutral.This guy hits like a Rocket propelled truck.If this thing sets up,which it more than often does.This guy allows me to counter threats to my team which I only have one counter.
-Role I want this pokemon to fit:A Viable Physical attacker,preferably a fast one.
-Other Pokemon that could fit this Role:Emboar,Golurk,Floatzel off the top of my head.
-Why I use this Pokemon over another?:It has more speed than Emboar and Golurk(30/40 more Base Speed I think) and better Movepool/Stab than Floatzel.Free +1 when switching in on a grass attack is also quite nice.
-Why those EV's?:I would like it to hit as hard and fast as possible.4 Def as most pokemon hitting it will be hitting it with physical moves.
-Any Pokemon looking to try out for this position?:Not at this moment.
-Any changes to the Pokemon in the works?:Not Atm
GoldLining the Shiny Female Altaria
Item: Leftovers Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 228 SDef / 28 Spd
Careful Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Heal Bell
- Dragon Claw
- Roost
Probably my only creative set.If I see no Phazers or Almomola or anything I can assume has an Ice Attack,I lead off with it and set up and sweep.Lum Berry is there because if I feel I can take on Almomola I get one more turn to attack it(it Toxics me,sees Lum berry,I hit it with +X Dragon claw,he tries to toxic me again and I hit him again with a +X Dragon claw).It is the glue to the team,resisting Water,Fighting,Grass if Sawsbuck is down,Fire and Immune to Ground all relatively common move types,allowing me to switch in on something and set up as they switch.I originally had EQ over Roost but realized that Altaria needs Recovery and Lefties wern't enough.I would Seriously think about just making it Max Spec.D,so I will try that out.
Changes:Tweaked EVs.Changed to Careful Nature.
-Role I want this pokemon to fit:A pokmon that is Immune to Ground,resists Water,Fire,Fighting and Electric,Sets up,preferably bulky and checks physical threats.
-Other Pokemon that could fit this Role:Not many,Butterfree can fulfill some of the requirements but isn't very bulky and takes 50% to SR.
-Why I use this Pokemon over another?:I looked at many pokemon and realized that Altaria is the only pokemon that can do all those things.(Also,if you are wondering,Cotton Guard makes some Physical threats that where previously very threatening to her,not so threatening).Before her I had not many safe switches to the common move types.She is at the moment the Glue.
-Why those EV's?:the 252 HP / 228 SDef / 28 Spd spread in the Defenses is there to be relatively bulky but still having a possibility to sweep.She is able to take almost every(Non Ice) attack in NU right now.
-Any Pokemon looking to try out for this position?:Not at this moment.
-Any changes to the Pokemon in the works?:Not Atm
MarsBar the Shiny Male Haunter
Item: Choice Scarf Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Hidden Power Fighting
- Sludge Wave
- Trick
- Shadow Ball
The replacement Revenge killer.MarsBar just has overall more synergy with the team than Glaceon.He also boasts a better moveset and 30 more Base Speed.However the less SpecAtt does kinda hurt at times.His Dual Stab hits ridiculously hard,almost one shotting Alomomola with Sludge Wave.TBolt to fry Water and Flying types,HP Fighting for steels that otherwise wall this set.
EDIT:I changed it from Scarf to Specs,because I felt It wasn't cutting it when it needed to and it was already quite fast.Bad thing is that it can no longer revenge kill Scarfers.Oh Well.
-Role I want this pokemon to fit:Viable special Revenge killer.
-Other Pokemon that could fit this Role:Glaceon.
-Why I use this Pokemon over another?:Faster than Glaceon,better movepool,better synergy with the team.
-Why those EV's?:Ev's are spread,like most Choice users are,to hit as Hard and as fast as possible.
-Any Pokemon looking to try out for this position?:Not atm.
-Any changes to the Pokemon in the works?:Currently fiddling around with his moveset.
Potato the Male Gigalith
Normal Gem Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 50 HP/ 252 Atk / 4 Def / 200 SDef
Careful Nature
- Explosion
- Stone Edge
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
(Credit to NBZ for the Set)
This guy is amazing.Guaranteed Stealth Rocks if I need it and usually nabs 2 KOs if not.I use this over Golem because Golem has less base Att and Def if I recall correctly.And if rocks are up Golem cant take a water move.Also a surprisingly good revenge killer if Rocks aren't up,firing off a guaranteed Explosion in the face of something I don't like.Partners with Cinccino because she really likes Rocks IMO.
-Role I want this pokemon to fit:A pokemon that can guaranteed get up SR and hit pretty hard.
-Other pokemon that could fit this role:Golem,Miltank,Probopass,Torterra are what I can think of atm.
-Why I use this pokemon over another: Out of all of them, its the pokemon with the most attack to get Sturdy and Explosion.The lack of a Dual weakness to Water like Golem is a positive,allowing it to live certain water moves when Sturdy is gone.
-Why those EV's:The reason I don't put any speed Investment(Like I saw in the smogon set) is because even with near max speed, it isn't out speeding much.Max Spec.D because his Def is already naturally high and want all round bulk as opposed to Super bulky in what stat,but that might change for reasons Ill Explain.
-Any Pokemon looking to try out for this position?:Not at this moment.
-Any changes to the Pokemon in the works?:The Ev's.The lead position where I usually keep him is not where special attackers roam about.so I might take out 52-80 Ev's of Spec.D and put them into Def or HP.
Haku the Shiny Female Glaceon
Item: Choice Scarf Trait: Snow Cloak
EVs: 252 SAtk /4 Def /252 Spd
Modest Nature
- Ice Beam
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Water]
- Toxic
And another Revenge killer.Hidden Power might stick out but I needed something to use a water move and Water pulse is just so ineffective at 60BP.Toxic is there to break down walls I cant hit for SE Damage(Almomola, Im looking at you).She has performed far beyond my expectations because I was a bit worried about her Movepool.
-Role I want this pokemon to fit:Viable special Revenge killer.
-Other Pokemon that could fit this Role:Haunter.
-Why I use this Pokemon over another?:To be honest,I don't think I will be.Haunter will.(at least I think.)
-Why those EV's?:Ev's are spread,like most Choice users are,to hit as Hard and as fast as possible.
-Any Pokemon looking to try out for this position?:Yes actually,I am about to try out Scarf Haunter,which hits almost as hard but is just so much faster,has a much better movepool and is Immune to Fighting which this team is not so much threatened by but has no Direst Check/Counter.Another ground Immunity is nice as well.
-Any changes to the Pokemon in the works?:Not Atm

And thats all she wrote,Might end up doing a threat list if I have time.
Rate and comment please.Criticism is welcome,although not to harsh please.
This is my first RMT and first attempt at a competitive NU Team.I was just fluffing about with random sets before this team came along.
Ru fared slightly better but still,for some reason, it didn't feel right for me.
And then I tried NU.
And man did I try NU.
A couple of weeks ago I started making a team around one of my favorite pokemon,Electrode.
Eventually,the Team lost its focus on Electrode and the Limelight fell on the Team as a whole as a whole.
AT A GLANCE!
So like I said I started with Electrode due to his blistering speed and ability to use taunt (and I always wanted to use him successfully.I tried in higher tiers,didn't really work)
I felt the team needed SR so I started thinking about sets.Eventually I fell upon a youtubers Gigalith set (A guy called NBZ) and fell in love with it.
To this day any person playing me for the first time has never expected the Normal Gem Explosion.
I was also really looking forward to CS Cinccino,having never used it on a previous team, and I heard it was pretty broken.So I had to try it out.
I found my results pleasing.
I wanted a CB (ab)user.I Fiddled around with Golurk and Emboar but I found them too slow,so I tried out others such as Floatzel,but he didn't feel right on the team for some reason.He just wasn't getting KOs when I needed him to.So I dropped him and eventually fell right into a CB Sawsbuck in a NU match once and (Excuse me saying fall/fell alot) fell in love with it.
The 24/3 less Base ATT then Golurk/Emboar is unfortunate but the extra Base 40/30 Speed Leads me to pick up him over the other two.The ability to pick up a free +1 Att is nice as well.
EDIT:Enied up changing it to a SD set as it made him another check/counter to pokemon that I only have one of.
I wanted something Flying,be it through levitate or the actual type,to be able to Set Up and Sweep.I tried out Quiver Dance Butterfree but found instant Half HP when it comes in on the very common SR annoying and he found it hard to set up.So then I found Altaria.I was theorymoning on the way to school and had a thought.
"Cotton Dance,Dragon Dance,Roost and Dragon claw seems pretty OP"
I started scribbling out some EVs and when I got home got straight onto PS and Tried it out.
Jesus Christ.
(Only thing that walls it is Almomola.Seriously.So if I see a Almomola,or of course a poke with an Ice attack I stay away).
Edit:Ended up changing it to Bulky DD with Heal Bell
I found I was seriously laking on the Offensive Special side and wanted another Revenge killer.First pokemon I picked up was a Scarf Glaceon and it performed leaps and bounds over how I thought it would perform.
But then I found Glaceon just to out of place on this team Ive been thinking about Haunter for a long time so I decided to try him out,finding he was doing better than Glaceon.
And then came along helpful suggestions,such as LO on Electrode and Something other than Gigalith.I tried Regirock and Camerupt,finally landing upon Golem.
Golem has performed so much better than Gigalith,Netting kills on consistently 1/2 pokemon and also get SR up.(Thank you everyone for your suggestions.)
