First Team of all! [KlefKING, king of kings!] (peak: 900)

[mussum]

First of all, I want to apologize for my English. I´ve never studied and I will make a lot of innocents errors.

This is my first team since 3rd Gen. back in time, Slakoth was a huge threat =P I started with Vaporeon, because its my favorite pokemon, but I feel my team have a lot of flaws. I appreciate some advices (including changing some pokemons). Thank you for your time =D

Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 SDef
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Wish
- Protect
- Toxic

Normally I start with this mon. Its my favorite, have a nice defensive status, toxic to walls/things that vap don’t take care/just to annoy. Wish supports the team, etc etc. I got a lot of good results in PS with this thing.

Heatran @ Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 SDef
Calm Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Lava Plume
- Roar
- Protect

Before I choose heatran, I felt my team has a big problem with fire. Before I put Jellicent, I was using a Mega-Venusaur. Heatran gives me Roar, which is very important to stop DDs, SD, Calm Mind, etc… Now i´m using Stealth Rock, but in game I don’t see much damage with SR. Don’t know if another move its better; Air Baloon for don’t take EQ.

Jellicent @ Leftovers
Ability: Cursed Body
EVs: 248 HP / 216 Def / 44 Spd
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Will-O-Wisp
- Recover
- Taunt

Love this guy! Takes fire, gives me WoW to creepy Physical Attackers, taunt works really well against Ferrothorn, Gourgeist, or anything annoying. Recover to last more in the battle and Scald just for the STAB. Considering change for Shadow Ball.

Dragonite @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Outrage
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Extreme Speed

Pretty basic Dragonite set. I have an 5IV shiny in my 3ds, so I really like this guy. Weakness Policy + Multiscale + DD makes a HUGE damage. I Had some battles that Dragonite takes down 5 pokemons D:
I don’t know if can change Earthquake, looking for some improvement.

Excadrill @ Life Orb
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Rock Slide
- Swords Dance

That is a spot i´m considering change. This mon is a monster, but takes a lot of damage. Almost never I can set Swords Dance and don’t have to change the pokemon, for Excadrill don’t die. I´m considering change this spot for balance my weakness in the rest of the team.

Klefki @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Foul Play
- Thunder Wave
- Swagger
- Substitute

I know, I know… This set is a HUGE pain in the ass! I know, but its really fun to see the face of the opponent =P. I guess I will have to change sooner or late this pokemon too, so I put Excadrill and KlefKING in the lasts spots. Im considering using klefki with other movest, because this moveset its really uber.

What i´m having Problem:
* Gliscor - can´t take down this threat! seriouslly, i lost a lot of game because Gliscor
* Dont have any coverage for Psychc, Fairy, Dar, Flying, Fight and Water (of course it´s hard a pokemon have only one type of these)
* Rotom-W - Can take down, but i take a lot of damage and i need various predicts.


Well, I appreciate any suggestion, any tips, anything =P
Really, sorry about my English, but I guess you guys can understand.

Hello. I'm fairly new, but I will try my best, and good luck!
I start my rating by disproving claims people say about their pokemon. I have only found one for you, good job :): Excadrill "takes a lot of damage". That is true on the physical side sometimes, but especially with (basically) NO defensive investment (not to mention life orb recoil!) and a not so strong special front with important weaknesses to fire and water (not even stab in specific… beware Surf Lati@s, Various from Goodra, and Hydro Pump Dragalge). Look at these calculations for reference.
252+ SpA Life Orb Dragalge Hydro Pump vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Excadrill: 398-471 (109.9 - 130.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Life Orb Goodra Fire Blast vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Excadrill: 432-510 (119.3 - 140.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Life Orb Latios Surf vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Excadrill: 398-471 (109.9 - 130.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Excadrill can heavily damage these Pokemon as well, but keep in mind it isn't that fast.

You are right, swords dance on a spinner/rocksetter is never going to happen. But, I would consider removing him entirely and placing in Mega Garchomp. Yes Mega G isn't that groundbreaking, but here is why it has a place for you.
1. You don't have a mega. Why not use it?
2. Your significant electric weakness. Excadrill is immune, but between setting and spinning, he won't be attacking much. Notice Vaporeon, Jellicent, and Dragonite are weak, not to mention steel does half damage to electric.

I wouldn't change Klefki unless you are concerned by, say, a Prankster Taunt from Liepard. Feel free to think about that.

Not a bad dragonite set at all. However, though this isn't very common, you MUST be concerned about a skill link icicle spear Cloyster.

252+ Atk Cloyster Icicle Spear (5 hits) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Multiscale Dragonite: 390-460 (120.3 - 141.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Conisder a sash on Heatran is Roar is that important to you. Just something to consider. You should either keep both protect and sr or remove both and put earthquake and another attack (flash cannon or HP?) in it's place along with putting fire blast (or magma storm?) in place of lava plume.

Just one more thing, either put Scald, surf, or Hydro Pump on Jellicent.

That's all, I would rate the team 4/5, and good luck to you!
