Hey guys, this is my first time posting on Smogon so a big Hello to everyone!
So i recently got back into Pokemon and thought id construct a team and so far its come on well, i just need some help with the finishing touches to my team!
So to start we for my team i have
Nidoqueen
Moveset: Earthpower, Sludgewave, Stealth Rocks, Icebeam
Nature: Modest
Ability: Sheer Force
Item: Life Orb
EVs: 180HP, 252SpA, 76 Spe
I chose Nidoqueen because she cant bring in the entry hazards (i.e stealth rocks) and is quite defensive, she does have her weaknesses but ive found her to be really strong and reliable whenever i have used her
Dragonite
Moveset: Outrage, Extreme Speed, Fire Punch, Earthquake
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Multiscale
Item: Choice Band
EV's: 252 ATK, 4 Def, 252 Spe
Dragonite, my Dragon type for this team, with this setup he outspeeds a lot of things (curse you Mega Garchomp) and has good coverage for which his moves effect, i chose Dragon Rage because its a incredibly strong move (with the exception of confusion) Extreme Speed to finish off low enemies, Earthquake because it deals with almost everything besides Levitate users and Fire Punch for Grass/Steel types
Talonflame
Moveset: Brave Bird, Flare Blitz, Swords Dance, Roost
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Gale Wings
Item: Razor Beak
EV's: 252 Atk, 4 Def, 252 Spe
Talonflame is more of my glass cannon, take out as much before you are taken out and trying to keep alive with Roost, Brave Bird for the damage and Sword Dance to make is stronger
Blissey
Moveset: Thunder Wave, Soft-Boiled, Seismic Toss, Heal Bell
Nature: Bold
Ability: Natural Cure
Item: Leftovers
EV's: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4SpD
Blissey is my wall of the team, although she isnt strong as a straight up battler she brings some amazing support to the team in the form of Heal Bell and inflicting status effects like Thunder Wave, i chose Seismic Toss because its Blisseys highest damage dealing move and Soft-Boiled to just be that annoying unfaintable tank
Octillery (My wildcard)
Moveset: Hydro Pump, Fire Blast, Energy Ball, Icebeam
Nature: Modest
Ability: Sniper
Item: Choice Specs
EV's: 212 HP, 252 SpA, 44 Spe
As it says next to his name this is my Wildcard, i think Octillery has some great potential with the range of moves it covers, yes his a bit slow but can take some hits no problem, with this moveset he pretty much covers everything with the exception of Dark, Psychic and Ghost
So this is how my team looks thus far, i just need one more Pokemon to fill it and was needing some suggestions on what to give the final spot to, one thing i dont have on my team is a Psychic/Ghost/Dark type but cant quite put my fingers on what to fill it with, maybe a Alakazam even thought they are Glass Cannons?
Anyways guys thanks a lot for reading and im looking forward to some feedback
