Hi all guys, I'm back with a new team for the RU tier.
This time I thought to build a stall team, but then I noticed that I don't know how to build a stall team D:
So, the result has been this defensive team, now I'll explain how I built it and then I'll show u the movesets.
Building Phase:
The first pokemon for this team has been Uxie, a good defensive pokemon for this tier with his 130 base def and sp. def. That's why, at first, the team should be a stall team so I started from a defensive/utility pokemon.
Uxie has a good synergy with ghost type such as Spiritomb, because this type can act s a spinblocker, then Spiritomb is a good Taunt and WoW user. Uxie has, moreover, a good synergy with clerics, which gives a great help in all kind of team, that's why I choosed to include Togetic as third pokemon. Togetic has good defensive stats thanks to Eviolite, then can provide a defog support and, finally, has the fairy type to hit hard Druddigon, Flygon and Tyrantrum. At this "core" I decided to add Steelix-Mega. Why this choice? Well, first he has a great defensive synergy with other members, expecially with Togetic, then he is the best tank of the tier thanks to stats, type, moves and other things...

At this point I was thinking to a kind of "cleaner" and I thought to Virizion because he is one of the best offensive pokemon in the tier. Moreover he has a good synergy with other members. But at this point I noticed that fire types such as Emboar or Delphox could create me problems, so I decided to replace Spiritomb with Jellicent, which can use Taunt and WoW as the previous member, but he is a great bulky water pokemon. For the last member of the team, I saw that, even if the fight type in Virizion, steel type could give troubles to this team. So I choosed to add Magmortar just because he has a great movepool with a fantastic coverage, then he can take some special hit thanks to his Assault Vest set.
Movesets:
Uxie @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 192 SpD / 64 Spe
Careful Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Zen Headbutt
- Thunder Wave
- Knock Off
Even if Smogon shows his phisical defensive set, I choosed to use the same spread in a special defensive set, just because I have other members with a good def. Then, I choosed a Careful nature to allow him to do more damage with physical moves. Why? To have a knock off user in this team, because Uxie is the only member that can learn this move. This is why Zen Headbutt>Psyshock. The other moves are standard, with Stealth Rock and paralysis spam.
Virizion @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 Def
- Synthesis/Calm Mind
- Giga Drain
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Ice]
As I said in building phase, this was the "cleaner"of the team. Standard set and spread with the only doubt in Syntesis... I know that with Giga Drain I have the recover, but sometimes is useful to recover HP against a bulky grass, for example, and with Giga Drain I can't in a situation like this. On the other side, Calm Mind is a good idea for this team, because it's supposed that when Virizion comes into the battlefield, all the enemies are weakened or paralyzed, so he has all the time to setup a pair of Calm Mind and the sweep.
Togetic @ Eviolite
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dazzling Gleam
- Roost
- Defog
- Heal Bell
Also another standard set, nothing to say. STAB to hit dragon, fight and dark types, Roost to have a great recover, Defog to eliminate all the hazards and Heal Bell to heal all the team from status condictions.
Jellicent (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 216 Def / 44 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Taunt
- Will-O-Wisp
- Recover
- Scald
Like before, a standard set, nothing to say.
Steelix (F) @ Steelixite
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Heavy Slam
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Roar/???
Here I preferred a more defensive spread, also because Smogon says that this spread is better for defensive teams, and this should be a defensive team. The first two moves are ok, I'm not sure about Sthealt Rock, just because Uxie has this move too, but considering that I have a defog support and not a rapid spin, maybe a second setter could be useful... Maybe... Finally I choosed Roar as last move because I have to spam paralysis with Uxie and burn with Jellicent, I dont thnk that Toxic is a good idea, but tips are welcome.
Magmortar (F) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Vital Spirit
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
- Fire Blast/Flamethrower
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Flame Charge
Here a more bulky set for my last pokemon, because I thought that if I spam paralysis I sould not need the 192 evs in speed, so I can raise his bulkyness in combination with the Assault Vest. Then, with the Flame Charge I can increase my speed if necessary. For the rest a standard set, just not sure about Flamethrower or Fire Blast.
So, this is the team, I hope u will enjoy in rating it :D
Thanks in advance to all the repliers.
