Latios (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 6 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Thunder
- Trick
- Surf
Just a Trick Latios... you simply Draco Meteor everything to death if safe from steel-type switch-ins, if the opponent can set up boosts to sweep, Trick may injure their strategy. Surf and Thunder for coverage.
Starmie @ Life Orb
Trait: Natural Cure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 6 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Thunder
- Rapid Spin
Starmie... I love Starmie, but I'm thinking of replacing him for a better Rapid Spinner. In my opinion, I can't use Forretress since I got Ferrothorn already in the team and that makes 3 pokemon with 4x Fire Weakness. I just can't find opportunities for Starmie to switch in to remove the stones/spikes. His attacks are standard for coverage, I guess. I'd like some help with Starmie.
Scizor (F) @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Pursuit
- U-turn
Scizor's weird in this team. He's useful sometimes but other times he's a letdown. Bullet Punch's standard. Superpower nails so much KOs. Pursuit for Starmie, Alakazam and other pokemon that make the game harder for me. U-Turn for scouting, or running away with a safe-switch.
Toxicroak (M) @ Black Sludge
Trait: Dry Skin
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 244 HP / 252 Atk / 12 Def
Adamant Nature
- Bulk Up
- Substitute
- Drain Punch
- Sucker Punch
He's also like Scizor. Pretty good sometimes, other times not. But his ability to gain all his health with Black Sludge and Dry Skin is great. He also gets almost guaranteed sweeps with 1/2 Bulk Up boosts.
Politoed (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Drizzle
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 248 Def / 8 SDef
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Protect
- Toxic
- Perish Song
This is a standard politoed, nothing special here... Perish Song, I see that as mind-games. The rest, it helps stall and whatnot. Scald for Burns... which is not such a big chance of getting.
Ferrothorn (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 90 Def / 168 SDef
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spd
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Wave
- Spikes
- Power Whip
He's really good in my team IMO. Thunder Wave cripples pokemon that think can set-up on his face. Power Whip since I need an attack that hits hard on those other Water types.
I believe I need a phazer on this team... I don't know which or what to replace for it. I welcome all suggestions that follow with a logical explanation. Thanks in advance!
