This team has no real team strategy, but does manage to do fairly well.
At a glance
Salsa (Ambipom) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Technician
EVs: 4 HP/126 Def/252 Spd/126 SDef
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Fake Out
- Thunder Wave
- Taunt
- U-turn
Of all the starters I've ever used, this one has to be my favorite. I do need help on the EV's though. Fake Out's the starter, removing Focus Sash threat and denting some of the common starters. Taunt and Thunder Wave for Sweepers trying to set up, such as Gyarados or Salamence. U-Turn is for the exit strategy.
Midna (Weavile) (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 40 HP/252 Atk/216 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Ice Punch
- Night Slash
- Brick Break
- Ice Shard
Basic sweeper. Had SD, but I never got a chance to use it, so I replaced with Ice Shard. Hits hard on many things.
Geitz (Zangoose) (M) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Immunity
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Fire Punch
- Night Slash
- Quick Attack
Had Life Orb, but that made him even more frail. I keep going back and forth between Adamant and Jolly. I'm considering replacing him, but I don't know what with. Electivire maybe?
Armored Angler (Heatran) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Fire Blast
- Dark Pulse
Basic ScarfTran. Good coverage on all typings.
Dahlia Hawthorne (Spiritomb) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 118 HP/114 Atk/192 Def/84 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Will-o-wisp
- Pain Split
- Sucker Punch
- Shadow Sneak
Annoying, just like her namesake. 300 in both defenses is nice. Can burn common sweepers to lower attack power, then PS them down, and hopefully Sucker Punch/Shadow Sneak the win.
Goomba (Slowbro) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Oblivious
EVs: 212 HP/252 Def/44 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Ice Beam
- Slack Off
- Surf
This guy can take out threats like no other. Walls almost anything Physical, and can Slack Off health back.
I like this team, as it has excellent move coverage, but I can't help but think their not at maximum potential.
