I don’t mind replacing Pokemon and sets just want to keep hoopa and Volcarona,
The only Pokemon I will not replace are Volcarona and hoopa anyone else can stay or go I don’t mind, open to changes on all moves sets and Evs too!
So I actually use this team not only on showdown but actually on a pixelmon server as well which makes my access to legendaries a little tougher, I have caught hoopa which is the reason he is in my team, I have a weakness to fire and fairy so need some recommendations!
Hoopa Unbound (Adamant)
item assault vest (a) magician
- Hyperspace fury
- Zen headbutt
- Fire punch
- Drain punch
Evs 222 atk 144 hp 144sp def
I really enjoy hoopa’s big attack stat which catches people by surprise, I use him as my main attacking threat as many of my other Pokemon are sp atk focused or defensive Pokemon, only problem with hoopa is his weakness to fairy types, I’ve added bulk as he can take big hits from sp atk Pokemon and return with normally a one shot KO, his speed lets him down slightly and why the bulk was necessary and helps with the assault vest.
Volcarona (Timid)
Item heavy duty boots (a) flame body
- Quiver dance
- Flamethrower
- Bug buzz
- Roost
Evs 248 HP 130SPD 130 Speed
Bulkarona as I like to call him is probably one of my most useful Pokemon on the team, great with dealing with stalling Pokemon and the likes of tangrowth and mega scizor, I really enjoy the bulk as it allows me to quiver dance multiple times, roost and hit back hard, probably my favourite Pokemon on the team, obvs heavy duty boots to deal with that awful damage from stealth rock.
Ash-greninja (Timid)
Item focus sash (a) battle bond
- Water shuriken
- Ice beam
- Grass knot/dark pulse
- U turn
Evs 252 sp atk 252 speed 4 spd
Ash greninja is another must in my team great speed along with special attack helps me out a lot, especially with his priority move dealing with fire types, only problem is of rocks/spikes are up he is most likely to be one shot in return, then I do have a problem with fire types for the rest of the game, this is where my weakness lies and I may need a replacement in the team to support this weakness, otherwise he’s great fun to use. Played around with grass knot/dark pulse and have had more success with grass knot dealing with the annoying bulky water types.
Garchomp (jolly)
Item aguav berry, (a) rough skin
- Stealth rock
- Stone edge
- Earthquake
- Swords dance
Evs 252 atk 252 speed 4 sp def
I normally open with garchomp to use stealth rock then if the matchup is on my side I then can swords dance as they switch out and hit with a powerful earthquake or stone edge, been very useful and reliable for me, able to take and give a good hit in return, nice high speed almost always allows me to put rocks up, aguav berry means he will last longer and get swords dance off when needed, fairy weakness is the only concern as with hoopa and greninja
Tangrowth (relaxed)
Item Rocky helmet (a) regenerator
- Giga drain
- Earthquake
- Knock off
- Toxic
Evs 252 hp 252 defence 4 sp atk
My physical bulk in the team deals with most Pokemon very well just struggles with fire types as it’s main weakness, toxic into use if I’m stalling, knock off for any switches I can predict and giga for any water types I can switch into earthquake there for power, I like this set as I can easily toxic take a hit then switch out if I’m worried and return with higher health and then attack with an earthquake, Rocky helmet obviously there to inflict more damage to any physical attacks
Mega scizor (impish)
Item scizorite (a) technician
- Swords dance
- Bullet punch
- U turn
- Roost
Evs 248 HP 104 DEF 156 SP DEF
My least favourite on the team and is primarily there for fairy types, 4x weakness to fire really hurts and gone for a bulky approach as if my match up is good I can swords dance and hit off a few bullet punches, would be really open to changing this Pokemon for another mega alternative that suits the team, can be good but I haven’t found much success with scizor.
Any advice would be great, I try not to use many legendaries as I like to use the same team in my pixelmon server therefore any alternatives that aren’t legendaries would be great, thank you for any feedback
