SM RU First Team! RU Time Baby!

[brigadierchrome]

Marowak-Alola @ Thick Club
Ability: Rock Head
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Iron Head
- Swords Dance
- Flare Blitz
- Earthquake

Even without trick-room, Marowak is a fearsome 'mon. Flare Blitz hits like a truck, even unboosted, thanks to Thick Club. I originally ran Lightning-rod for switch ins, but the spammability Rock Head provides is just too good to pass up.


Dragalge @ Fightinium Z
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Sludge Wave
- Protect
- Focus Blast

One of my favorite 'mons, Dragalge is up next. Sludge Wave and Draco are the obligatory stabs here, benefiting from Adaptability. Protect is for scouting, mostly. Fightinium Z blows away any bulky ice types that think they can waltz on in.


Camerupt-Mega @ Cameruptite
Ability: Magma Armor
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Fire Blast
- Stealth Rock
- Roar

Here I treated Camerupt almost like Groudon, "Red Orb" and all. Earth Power and Fire Blast are great for pressuring switch-ins. Camerupt is packing Roar and Stealth Rock as well, for phasing out 'mons trying to set up on him and for dragging others through the rocks.


Mandibuzz @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Foul Play
- Roost
- Toxic
- Taunt

Mandibuzz is just so good, what can I say? The game below is proof enough, as the set is quite standard. Foul Play turns the opponents attack against them for a surprisingly powerful hit if underestimated. Roost, Toxic, and Taunt allow Mandibuzz to do what it is that tanks do.

Cryogonal @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Water Pulse
- Ice Beam
- Recover
- Rapid Spin

The Spinner of the team, sporting solid Special Defense and a Decent Special Attack to boot. He's really here to remove hazards, maybe get a couple hits in, maybe a recover, and get out.


(Never look up pictures of Gardevoir!)
Gardevoir @ Life Orb
Ability: Trace
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Moonblast
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Psychic

The second booster of the team, this time on the special side of the spectrum. HP Fire is for pesky Steel Types that try to ruin your fun. Moonblast and Psychic are really all that are needed to deal heavy damage to most 'mons.

Any particular reason gardevoir doesn’t have any psychic moves? Any reason why Dragalge doesn’t have its other STAB? Any reason why Camerupt is running Earthquake over Earth Power (also with Sheer Force Fire Blast or Flamethrower completely outclass).

So fast! Thanks for the glaring issues, I'll make the changes!

Welcome to Smogon! I'm locking your RMT for the time being as the forum rules require that you provide in-depth descriptions for each Pokemon to explain their roles. Please read the rules carefully and take a look at Team Showcase to see the level of detail we require. PM me with updated descriptions and I'll be happy to unlock this.
