My special NU team, this will be my last team i think, before pokemon black and white comes out, so i want this team to be good. I know NU aren't good but i tried to find the best nu pokemon out there. Also idk why i do this but I go against Smogon in many ways on what moves should be taught, I want to be original, so Im trying to create a team with no Life Orb, no Choice Items, and no Leftovers, but still legit.
Wailord@Zoom Lens
Nature: Careful(+SpDef -SpAtk)
Ability:Water veil
252 Atk/252 SpDef/4 HP
~Waterfall
~Curse
~Avalanche
~Earthquake
I know Wailord has extremely high HP, and a little below average speed, not very good defenses, so Careful with 252 SpDef evs is very good, making its Special Defense over 200. Its a physical attacker, so Water veil is good in protecting from burns that will drain its HP and cut its attack.
Waterfall is the Basic attack for a physical water type, but with Wailords great attack stat, it should be able to end an infernape easily, or any other sweeper. Just imagine getting rammed by a large 40ft whale.
Curse is awsome, considering it raises Atk and Def, but cuts speed which its not good in anyway. Combined with zoom lens, which in Diamond and Pearl raises Critical Ratio if slower, makes everything a high-critical-ratio, which is threatning.
Avalanche, which wailord will probably go last anyway is 120 powered move which will take down Garchomp, Salamence, and Flygon in one shot if not holding Focus Sash.
Earthquake is for the Electric types, which i hope will survive the move, thats why high SpDef is necessary, becuase with the exeption of Thunderpunch/Spark/Thunder fang//volt Tackle, which arent very common, all electric attacks are special, same for Grass.
Nature: Bold(+Def -Atk)
Ability: Magnet Pull
252 HP/200 Def/52 SpDef/4 SpAtk
~Protect
~Thunderbolt
~Power Gem
~Thunderwave
Unlike Wailord, Probopass has very high defenses, being only really weak to Fighting and Ground, which are mostly Physical, combined with shuca berry, will not take OHKO may 2HKO if strong tho. Magnet pull will keep in Skarmory, which Thunderbolt and Thunderwave will take care of it. Also the combination of high defense+Rock+Steel makes explosion useless.
Protect is mainly for Double battles(which in most cases i do). It will take care of incoming Ground/Fighting attacks, while another one of mine will take care of the threat.
Thunderbolt for skarmory, and gyarados a lot better than Power Gem.
Power Gem is a good Stab move, hurting Weavile,Frosslass,Aerodactyl and other Flying and Ices.
Thunderwave is to slow down the pokemon, but the negative side is not being able to hit ground types. A plus side is that the pokemon has only really around 60% chance of attacking.
Nature: Adamant(+Atk -SpAtk)
Ability: Dry Skin
252 HP/200 Sp Def/56 Atk
~Spore
~Seed Bomb
~X scissor
~Aromatherapy
Parasect is very good, being the only Spore user besides Breloom, combined with Lum berry is awsome. If a statser comes out, like maybe a noobish Smeargle with Dark Void, lum berry will cure it, and then attacking with Spore. Dry skin is to protect from Water for Probopass
Spore is good with lum berry, pretty much reflecting status to the opponent. Really a basic move considering the rareness.
Seed bomb is just a very good Physical move that Parasect has, taking care of Quagsire
X Scissor is also a good move, taking care of Alakazam and Azelf with ease
Aromatherapy is to cure Status once again, for everyone in my party that i may have switched out, or something like that.
Nature:Hasty(+Spe -Def)
Ability:Tangled Feat
200 HP/252 Spe/56 SpAtk
~Hyper Voice
~Tailwind
~Encore
~Theif
Chatot has no item??? I have a strategy. With Chatot's high speed, it'l theif an item from the opponent, making them have no item. Also, Chatot is not the usual Nasty Plot attacker like always, which is good.
Hyper Voice is the basic stab special move for Chatot, that i wish Porygon Z could learn. Just incase I need to eliminate 2 pokemon on the other side, and setup with the other.
Tailwind increasing the speed of my party, which makes them all very good sweepers.
Encore, is to trap an enemy which are using Swords Dance or something to that effect. Maybe even something useful to me like protecting from a Shadow Ball or something.
Theif is obvious, considering that it has no item, and hurst the Ghost type.
Nature:Naughty(+Atk -SpDef)
Ability: Intimidate
252 Atk/252 Spe/4 Def
~Return
~Icy Wind
~Zen Headbutt
~Stone Edge
I know what your thinking, Icy Wind on Tauros? but that'll be in the description. Intimidate increasing everyones attack, makes it safe for me against a Gyarados... which is why it has White Herb.
Return is ultimately strong, being a good stab move taking massive damage to anything not resistant to Normal Type attack. Its just an average attack for Tauros, not to proud with it, but needed to be done.
Icy wind, i dont really count for an attack, but it will Slow down the opponent as well as getting rid of Focus Sashes.
Zen headbutt, i dont know if its common or not, but will take damage to Genar, and other Poison or Fighting types like Infernape.
Stone Edge is on the verge of replacement because of too much common usage, and I cant think of any way for me to see a good use for it, so no description.
Nature: Timid(+Spe -Atk)
Ability: Synchronize
252 SpAtk/252 Spe/4 SpDef
~Psychic
~Helping Hand
~Shadow Ball
~Trick
Shed Shell just incase of Arena Trap Dugtrio, and also good for Tricking to an opponent getting their item, like Chatot. Its moves are pretty cool and normal but I like them.
Psychic is just a basic move dealing massive damage because of Stab and an average move.
Helping hand, for my teammates who have a move going that may need some extra power.
Shadow ball takes care of Ghosts and other psychics, along with high special attack will do massive damage.
Trick is to trick my Shed Shell onto another pokemon that wont need a shed shell. Shed Shell is just incase of Wobufett or Dugrtio, maybe even a Trapinch on a NFE team, that i may need switching from.
Well, thats my team, I really thought about the moves and tried to make them as original as possible.
