Pinsir (M) @ Pinsirite
Ability: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Return
- Close Combat
- Quick Attack
Pinsir is the guy that the team is generally trying to support. Typical set up, but insead of eq i run cc, because aegislash isnt really here anymore...
Latias (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 72 HP / 184 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Defog
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Healing Wish
Latias is the defogger, and along the way can also nab some surprise kills with her Draco Meteor. Psyshock is for those fighting types. Even though i couldve also taken like hp fire or tb, i already have 2 electric types and mag to take care of the steel types, so psyshock is the most worth. Healing wish is obviously for healing mega pinsir or something if they get too low.
Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 212 Def / 44 Spe
Bold Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split
Rotom-w is the guy that helps check a large portion of pinsir's counters. It is also generally a physical counter since its defensive and has that will-o which totally owns physical sweepers.
Landorus-Therian (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 140 HP / 156 Atk / 212 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- U-turn
- Superpower
My scarfer and for good reason too. He is already super strong and counters the electric types that pinsir has problems with(that rotom-w obviously cant handle). He is basically the counterpart to rotom-w, but he is scarfed. This is so he can outspeed the likes of say, manectric, who is annoying as hell and ohko. He also packs the stone edge for flying types that counter pinsir and super power for those steel types and gyrados.
Magnezone @ Choice Specs
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 172 HP / 252 SpA / 84 Spe
Modest Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Flash Cannon
- Thunderbolt
Magnezone fits in a specific niche as that guy who destroys steel types that tank pinsir, and packs thunderbolt and volt switch for momentum and for denting water types, who can tank this team pretty well, and he has flash cannon so fairies are useless. The only down side is that he is slow as hell, and that can be a huge problem occasionally.
Heatran (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 220 SpD / 40 Spe
Calm Nature
- Lava Plume
- Protect
- Stealth Rock
- Roar
Heatran is my special tank and he is the best thing ever. Stealth rock is obviously good for denting those op flying types (charizard, talonflame) and breaking sash, which can totally screw over pinsir's sweep. Lava plume does alot of damage to anything that doesnt resist it. His flash fire also helps with fire types who counter pinsir and magnezone and landorus. I would have also gave him toxic, but i found that roar is more worth it since if some fool decides to boost or sub, i tend to not really have an answer to it.
this team is working relatively well so far, i just want to know if i can improve it.
