This is my first RMT so plz don't murder meh! :3
Pink Terror (Excadrill) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 4 Def / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Rock Slide
- Rapid Spin
I chose Excadrill over some other hazard removers such as Lati@s and Starmie because of his great typing and ability to clean up late-game, courtesy of his scarf of choice :) His immunity to thunder wave and electric moves in general make Excadrill a decent switch-in to Thundy-I, and his speed combined with mold-breaker and high attack allow him to eliminate the likes of Gengar, weakened Rotom-W and Lati@s, Mega Manetric, Greninja, Keldeo, unsuspecting scarfed Magnezone, the list goes on.
Rapid spin support is a blessing because Charizard and Breloom need rocks off the field at all times.
I'm a dude (Gothitelle) (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Shadow Tag
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 Def
Modest Nature
- Psychic
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power Fire
- Trick
There are certain Pokemon that pose a significant threat to my team, either that or they are just annoying and i want them removed immediately. Thanks to Shadow Tag, Gothitelle can trap and efficiently remove such Pokemon, pokemon that include Chansey, Keldeo, Skarmory, Ferrothorn, weakened Conkeldurr, Scizor, Terrakion, Venusaur, and some other Pokemon i cant think of right now.
I have chosen Psychic over Psyshock because it provides much more power over all, and both psychic and psyshock have a guaranteed 2HKO on all Venusaur variants, so you may as well go for psychic over psyshock, and is more powerful against Mega Charizard X (during desperate situations obviously, like when you know it will DD and don't wanna risk switching out).
Gothitelle also pairs well with Breloom in my opinion, since it can trap something that Breloom has put to sleep, then abuse the turns the opponent is put to sleep by eliminating them, thereby lifting the sleep clause and providing Breloom with the opportunity to put something else to sleep.
Magic Mushroom (Breloom) (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Technician
EVs: 4 Def / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Spore
- Bullet Seed
- Mach Punch
- Rock Tomb
I find focus sash a much better choice for Breloom as opposed to, say, life orb. Breloom is slow, and has a crap-load of weaknesses, so being able to live a powerful hit and hit hard back, if not KOing it, is a very preferable thing to use for Breloom. I also kinda chucked this Pokemon in because my team lacks priority of any kind, despite how speedy my team is, it is also this team's best check to Azumarill, Greninja, Rotom-W, TTar (only if sash is broken, or in desperate situations), Sand Rush Excadrill, Kyurem-B, Bisharp, weakened Magnezone, and even Mega Pinsir and Talonflame (during situations where Excadrill has fainted).
I have also mentioned it's usefulness with Gothitelle previously so i assume there is no need to cover it again :D
Come At Me Bro (Terrakion) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Hidden Powa Ice
- Substitute
The other Pokemon on my team have been about speed and strategy, but almost every team needs a hard-hitting attacker of some sort. And i've decided that my strong attacker will be Terrakion! His STAB coverage of fighting and rock is amazing, and his typing comes with some nifty resistances, especially to knock off as it gives it a free boost to its attack. I've chosen HP ice over, say, swords dance because HP ice is fantastic on the switch against landorus-T and Gliscor, Landorus-I, Dragonite, and is more reliable against Garchomp. I've tried swords dance and more often than not it has let me down when compared to hp ice. Substitute to ease prediction and protect against status, making it Terrakions best defense against Mew.
I would list the Pokemon Terrak checks but I am too tired so sorry about that :(
Janine (Greninja) (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 242 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Extrasensory
- Hidden Power Fire
I was originally gonna put Keldeo on this team, but i noticed i had too many fighting types, and that most of my team was kinda slow barring scarf Excadrill, and even then Excadrill can have his scarf knocked off. So aside from Keldeo, Greninja certainly seemed to stand out as a fast and furious special attacker. Greninja is a fantastic offensive threat that checks a whole lot of dangerous pokemon for my team. However i'm a little concerned with this Greninja's movepool, i'll leave suggestions about Greninja's movepool at the bottom and you guys could tell me how (in)effective they would be :D
Skyrim (Charizard) (F) @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Fire Blast
- Solar Beam
- Ancient Power
- Roost
Uh, im so sick of writing, so tired, RMT is annoying.
Anyway, my powerful wallbreaker, and my mega evolution. Fireblast fucks up many Pokemon, even those that resist it are hit reasonably hard. And for all those gay water and rock types, solar beam is great for fucking them up more powerfully and more reliably than fire blast can. I've chosen Ancient Power over focus blast because I am sick of fucking Charizards and Talon-lames switching in whenever they fucking please, and sometimes Charizard can pull off sweeps thanks to the 10% of boosting every fucking stat which is clutch. Roost for reliable recovery, and is great against opponents that cant do too much against you.
So that's my team, everyone!
For Greninja, I want to replace extrasensory for dark pulse, since i already have a powerful abser of psychic moves, but no user of dark moves. But at the same time i want to keep extrasensory for Keldeo, Heracross, and Conkeldurr. And Gengar is already OHKOd by extrasensory. So i was thinking of getting rid of either hp fire or hydro pump in place for dark pulse, what do you guys think?
Also, what do you guys think about switching roost for focus blast on Charizard Y? Giving Charizard optimum coverage in exchange for recovery?
