I've been toying around with the Boomburst duo as my starters but recently started modifying their moves based on things I found on the simulator.
Exploud @ Metronome
Ability: Soundproof
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 Def
Modest Nature
- Boomburst
- Surf
- Flamethrower
- Ice Beam
Boom is obviously the goal here but Exploud proved to be quite well rounded as everyone expected Boombursts. Metronome again was originally the item to boost boom but now I'm wondering if it is still needed. Ideas?
Noivern @ Yache Berry
Ability: Telepathy
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Boomburst
- Tailwind
- Dragon Pulse
- Air Slash
Item-wise Yache has only really been helpful once or twice in getting one last move off that hasn't made a huge different so I'm thinking to swap it for something. On those few occasions I found it useful to throw out a Tailwind as a final attack to set up for the next mon coming in.
Rotom-Wash @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Calm Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Thunderbolt/Volt Switch
- Will-O-Wisp
- Protect
Considering changing this slightly. Protect has worked well but maybe a rest/chesto would be better? Hydro Pump has been super unreliable but it really is the best water move at his disposal. Also debating Thunderbolt vs. Volt Switch. Currently using Tbolt.
Talonflame @ Life Orb
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- Tailwind
- Protect
Pretty straight forward though considering dropping the Tailwind here as he's so offensive I rarely use it.
Aegislash @ Leftovers
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- King's Shield
- Sacred Sword
- Swords Dance
- Shadow Sneak
Again pretty straight forward here.
Kangaskhan (F) @ Kangaskhanite
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- Facade
- Sucker Punch
- Protect
This has actually been pretty interesting as a pokemon. Everyone knew MegaMum would be powerful but I'm still really finding my feet with her. Ghosts are awkward if I've already Mega'd before they show up. Usually a Scrappy Fake Out and my other mon have dealt with anything before she's Mega'd.
So...I'm pretty new to all this. Will love any advice possible!
