This is the second RMT I've created. I hope it goes better than the last one. It's a monotype bug team, so there isn't much wiggle room. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Lasagna (Crustle) (M) @ Liechi Berry
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- X-Scissor
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Shell Smash
One of my favorite Pokemon, Crustle is a great shell smasher. He was the first mon on this team, and hopefully he'll stay on it. His role is pretty self explanatory, he's my set up physical sweeper. X-Scissor and Stone Edge for STAB, Earthquake is coverage. I gave him Liechi Berry because it goes well with Sturdy, and boosts his attack without the need to shell smash.
Delta (Armaldo) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Battle Armor
Adamant Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Rock Blast
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
My main hazard setter / rapid spinner, since most bugs are pretty allergic to rocks. I gave her Rock Blast because for a while, my team was getting annihilated by flying types. Earthquake for coverage, and leftovers because I need a spinner to stay alive longer than 2 rounds.
Freep (Volcarona) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 HP / 204 Def / 52 Spe
Bold Nature
- Fiery Dance
- Quiver Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Roost
Volcarona is one of the best special sweepers, despite it's 4x weakness to rock, and it's great in monotype. This is a pretty common moveset, Flame Body saves my butt a lot. Quiver Dance to set up, Roost because 4x rock weakness, Bug Buzz and Fiery Dance for STAB. The only problem with him is that he's slow without Quiver Dance, which is why I use...
Spitsy (Galvantula) (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Compound Eyes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunder
- Sticky Web
- Bug Buzz
- Energy Ball
Spitsy. I know, it's pretty common to have a Galvantula, but it's for good reason. Having Sticky Web and Thunder really benefits a bug team which is usually wrecked by fast flying types. She has Bug Buzz for stab, and Energy Ball for coverage against ground types.
Skip (Yanmega) (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Tinted Lens
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Bug Buzz
- Air Slash
- Giga Drain
- U-turn
Yanmega is probably my favorite bug/flying type, and there are a lot out there. I picked Yanmega because it has tinted lens, which is incredible on a bug team, seeing all the resistances. It has the choice specs because it's usually just a revenge killer or a hit-and-run style attacker. Bug Buzz and Air Slash for STAB, Giga Drain for coverage and healing purposes, and U-Turn because, as I mentioned before, hit-and-run.
Protobug (Scizor) (M) @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Bug Bite
Scizor is the mega I chose, because it provided better coverage than Mega Pinsir. This is a pretty standard moveset, it allows Scizor to Swords Dance to it's full potential. Bullet Punch because priority + STAB, Bug Bite because this beast takes care of Azumarills pretty easily, and Superpower because after a Swords Dance, this thing can kick ass and take names.
Thanks for reading, and as I said before, any feedback is greatly appreciated!
