Hey everyone, I’m new to competitive Pokémon singles and wanted to build a team around magikarp.Hope you guys help me with learning this tier.I always played VGC with pre made teams, Venusaur being the central core 90% of the time.It was a long time ago however.
I don’t know how to add sprite/images to this post, help me please.
the team is incomplete and I don’t know which pokemon to add.
THE TEAM:-
1.MAGIKARP
2.AERODACTYL
3.ZERAORA
4.TORNADUS-T
The team link
The star, the dynamite, the thunder. Mr.Karp
Mr.Karp (Magikarp) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Swift Swim
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 SpA / 4 Spe
Naughty Nature
- Bounce
- Hydro Pump
- Flail
- Tackle
200 Base power on FLAIL to stomp anything on the way, tackle when unable to use other moves just there for being there.Hydro pump to break walls and bounce for grass types or to avoid a turn and be annoying.It was more useful being a Guinea pig in helping me switch between Pokémon.Right now havn’t found a way to let it go beast mode YET.
The Dad, the babysitter, the overprotective parent Mr.Aero
Baby sitter (Aerodactyl) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Unnerve
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Taunt
- Rock Blast
- Earthquake
Aero is just here to prevent any hazard entry and force them to switch while chipping their health in the process.I switch into magikarp and just flail as they usually send water types. Ferrothorn just spams body press and does around 50% dmg and is really annoying but magikarp helps me switch into tornadus safely and use a nasty plot and focus blast and pretty much sweep from there.Stealth rock to set up to prevent focus sash users from stopping the sweep.Taunt to prevent entry hazards, Earthquake and Rock blast for obvious reasons.
Not the last but not the least either, a mythical Pokémon which thinks it’s a pikachu?
Pikachu (Zeraora) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Plasma Fists
- Knock Off
- Volt Switch
- Close Combat
Standard set I pulled of smogon.Helps me revenge kill dragapult and offers momentum to the team.Having close combat and knock off helps a lot due to its base speed stat.It can’t do anything against ground types especially garchomp and the game is pretty much reliant on magikarp landing that hydro pump.Pretty solid set, helps me kill atleast 1-2 before going down.
The Bird, no intro needed for this bad bird.
Tornadus-Therian @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Hurricane
- Focus Blast
- Knock Off
The setup sweeper of the team, pretty much obliterated everything standing in zerora and magikarp.Nasty plot to get that steroid boost.Hurricane as it’s the best flying move for him.Focus blast for steel and dark types which my team isn’t that good against.Helps me switch into rillaboom and start taking control of the game, +2 focus blast stops even a beefy tyran letting zerora clean up the mess.
PRETTY BAD TEAM, BUT THIS IS MY ACTUAL FIRST TEAM I MADE IN THIS TIER.PLEASE HELP ME.
ANY RESOURCES WHERE I COULD LEARN A TIER AND WHAT’S HAPPENING IS APPRECIATED :)
