Like the title suggested, I am looking for a good lead pokemon for my team.
Team
Machop (M) @ Black Belt
Ability: No Guard
Serious Nature
IVs: 0 HP / 0 Atk / 0 Def / 0 SAtk / 0 SDef / 0 Spd
- Mega Punch
A Level 32 Machop with Mega Punch, as a lead, it's job is to check the opponent lead's, depending on the attack it's use's against him I will send out either KamiX(Blastoise) or Kabaldon(Hippowdon), he as never survived an attack. The trouble is when they use Status up or Hazzard moves, I am forced to switch and they use their status up move again. The Black Belt looks awesome on Machop.
Machop as my current lead is the Pokemon I intend to replace with something better.
----------------
Kairyu (Dragonite) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SDef
Careful Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Extreme Speed
- Dragon Tail
- Roost
My ParSuffle Pokemon, it's aim is to Par the opponents entire party.
EV's and nature was chosen to give it survive hit after hit, Multiscale, Roost and leftovers keeps the Dragon alive.
Dragon Tail is to shuffle to the next Pokemon so they can be hit with a Thunder Wave.
Extreme speed is for revenge hitting and Fairy types.
----------------
Kabaldon (Hippowdon) (M) * Passho Berry
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Careful Nature
- Earthquake
- Slack Off
- Whirlwind
- Stealth Rock
Sand Stream is only 4 turns, so I need to use those 4 turns effectively. By sending it out when enemy pokemon has 1-2% HP. getting it's own HP to really low so when I send him out he faints in order for Mooland to get the full 4 turns.
Once the sandstorm is over, I switch it out.
I tend to use him to set up Stealth Rock and do as much damaged as possible with Earthqauke and Whirlwind.
Earthquake is the only attacking move It knows. If I doesn't work I deal damage with Stealth Rock and Whirlwind.
It's Ev's and nature makes Kabaldon bulky and being able to survive hit and recover Hp with Slack off.
The Passho Berry mean's it can live through water moves nicely, however I have learnt that It can't survive a Aqua Jet with a Belly Drum, Azumarill, with full HP and the berry, none of my team can.
----------------
Mooland (Stoutland) (M) * Choice Band
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 164 HP / 252 Atk / 89 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Return
- Crunch
- Superpower
- Play Rough
As a sweeper it can't sweep for as long, It only has Four turns in the Sand, so I try to make the most out of it.
Adamant Nature increased the Att while Sand Rush increase the speed.
EV's are chosen it get the most attacking power and speed from it's attacks.
The 88 speed EV's are not the full 252 EV's because this will allow him to out-speed every pokemon (that is not scarfed or a Deoxys and Ninjask.) with sand rush. The rest was given to HP so out side of the sand he can take a hit and deal damage to the other pokemon.
Since It only has 4 moves the Choice Band is given to him, making it's moves even more powerful.
Return is it main move.
Play Rough is a Fairy type and gives it good coverage against Ghost+Dark types and Dragons.
Superpower and Crunch are for thw types not covered with Return and Play rough.
----------------
KamiX (Blastoise) (M) * Blastoisinite
Ability: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 Def
Modest Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Water Pulse
- Dark Pulse
- Aura Sphere
Time for my Mega Pokemon, Blastoise the KamiX.
It's the very definition of a tank, that I don't worry about it's EV's in Def and Sp Def and instead focus on HP. It's power comes from 252 SAtk and Mega Launcher.
Due to Mega Laucher Water Pulse, Dark Pulse and Aura Sphere are chosen
Rapid Spin enables me to get rid of hazards.
----------------
Nidoking (M) * Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Ice Beam
- Earth Power
- Fire Blast
- Poison Jab
Posion happen to be super effective against Faries, and Posion Jab seems to very good. So it a mixed attacker. I tend to send him out last as my final pokemon.
Earth Power is the main move it's user's
Fire Blast over Flamethrower due to 85 acc is wroth it
I went with Ice-Beam over Thunderbolt.
Posion Jab for the Sp Def tanks and Fairies.
----------------
A Good Pokemon to replace, Machop is what I'm looking for. Suggestion to improved the other five members' are welcomed.
