First post on Smogon. Didn't know where else to post this. If you wanna redirect me, thanks. If not, take a look and let me know any suggestions because I'm sure you are all much more knowledgeable than me. I wanted to use Pokémon I was unfamiliar with or had never used growing up. I've had mild success so far and don't know what I am missing. This is a doubles team.
Slaking @ Big Root
Truant
Terra: Normal
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Body Slam
- Drain Punch
- Rock Slide
- Bulk Up
All around great stats. Wanted to work him into my team in some way whether it was by skill swap, gastro acid, or doodle. Don't know what kind of coverage moves I should use on him.
Grafaiai @ Mirror Herb
Unburden
Terra: Flying
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 HP/ 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Acrobatics
- Gunk Shot
- Doodle
- Swagger
Probably my favorite Pokémon on this team. Gets rid of Truant on Slaking and then will Swagger the opponent and copy those stats --> Use Mirror Herb --> increase speed with Unburden and then can Terra stab with a boosted acrobatics. A lot of fun so far and I would like to keep these two to start but I could use suggestions on rounding out movesets.
Sylveon @ Leftovers
Pixilate
Terra: Fairy
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 Def / 252 HP
Bold Nature
- Hyper Voice
- Shadow Ball
- Yawn
- Protect
A somewhat tanky staller, I use Sylveon to also dish out high stab damage with a Pixilated Hyper Voice. Shadow Ball does high damage and has some coverage. Yawn and protect is a fun combo if I want to focus on stalling with another high attacker on my team that might be out with it.
Indeedee (F) @ Terrain Extender
Psychic Surge
Terra: Psychic
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Def
Bold Nature
- Psychic
- Magical Leaf
- Follow Me
- Helping Hand
Used only to set up psychic terrain for the soon to be mentioned Armarouge. Went bulky for the ability to direct moves to it and boost power to other Pokémon. Psychic for stab and Magical Leaf to have some coverage and hit both opposing mons.
Armarouge @ Weakness Policy
Weak Armor
Terra: Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Flamethrower
- Expanding Force
- Psyshock
- Armor Cannon
If set up, he can do some damage with the combo of Weakness Policy and Weak Armor. The slow speed kind of kills it a bit and seems to only work one Pokémon at a time. I know I'm doing something wrong and I would like to maximize his potential
Dragapult @ Dragon Claw
Clear Body
Terra: Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 HP / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Phantom Force
- Dragon Darts
- Tera Blast
- Dragon Dance
Sweeper only. I think if I can, Dragon Dance sets it up quite well. Tera Fire has worked well for coverage and I have two stab moves to go along with the moveset If I don't terra in battle.
Not a great team by any means, but they have heart.... (I Think). I'm open to any constructive criticism and suggestions. To movesets and all. Even suggestions for different Mons to use... For context, we aren't using any legendaries or crater Pokémon either. Thank you in advance!!
