I have been playing OU, UU, and some NU/RU since X and Y came out. Just looking for some advice on my team and looking for ideas on the last poke I should add to my team. (this is my first RMT)
Darmanitan@Choice Scarf (6iv)
252 atk 252 spe 6 hp
Ability: Sheer Force
Nature: Jolly
- U-turn
- Superpower
- Rock Slide
- Flare Blitz
This is pretty common for darmanitan. Jolly Choice Scarf outspeeds most UU pokemon and does the job. All of darmanitans moves on this set other than U-turn utilize Sheer Force. Flare Blitz gets STAB and superpower and rock slide provide great coverage. If your opponent sends out a threat (Hippowdon, Aqua Jetters, Etc.) you can easily U-turn out into Milotic, Roserade, or Forretress.
Forretress@Rocky Helmet (5iv - sp.atk)
252 def 252 hp 6 sp.def
Ability: Sturdy
Nature: Relaxed
- Gyro Ball
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
This guy is pretty much just to take physical hits and set up hazards (also clear out hazards). I dont have a 0 speed iv which makes gyro ball do a lot less ): Any Suggestions on what to run instead?
Honchkrow@Life Orb (6iv - sp.atk)
252 spe 252 atk 6hp
Ability: Moxie
Nature: Adamant
- Brave Bird
- Sucker Punch
- Pursuit
- Roost
Honchkrow has brought me from 2:6 to 2:2 in battles before as it is very powerful once it gets the +1 from moxie. Brave Bird and Sucker Punch are great STAB moves (sucker punch taking care of choice scarf users) and roost is good for people who try to predict sucker punch as well as healing back recoil from brave bird and life orb (which racks up very quickly). Pursuit I don't find myself using much on honchkrow. Should I keep it? Any suggestions?
Milotic@Sitrus Berry (6iv)
252 sp.def 252hp 6 def
Ability: Marvel Scale
Nature: Bold
- Dragon Tail
- Scald
- Sleep Talk
- Rest
My goal for this milotic was to be a good special wall while also having good defense while asleep. Dragon Tail is good to get threats out or sweepers, scald can burn (its scald xD), Sleep Talk and rest are self explanatory. Some say that the rest milotic set sucks because you never know what you get out of sleep talk, but I still use and and it works fine. If you can give reason to use any other set please do tell.
Roserade@Life Orb (5iv - atk)
252 sp.atk 252 spe 6 hp
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Timid
- Giga Drain
- Sleep Powder
- Rest
- Toxic Spikes
I just recently got this roserade and it has been decent in battle. Rest combined with natural cure makes this a decent lead since you can rest then switch into either forretress or milotic. Giga Drain is good STAB with absorbing power, Sleep Power is good for reeking havoc, rest is self explanatory, and toxic spikes rake up toxic damage late game. I hear that some thing that Technician Roserade is better but I have never used it so idk. Opinion on this guy?
That is it for this team. I am looking for another poke to add to this team, I have many BR UU pokes accessible to me so i'd like some recommendations on that as well as what my team needs for improvement/ anything you might think would do better. Thanks
