My first attempt at a team (re-hash)

[Kender3421]

Hi guys. Brand new to the competitive Pokemon world and this is my first attempt at a team. Using some of my favorites from the UU and NU tiers.

Torterra (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 136 HP/122 Atk/252 Def
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Wood Hammer
- Swords Dance
- Rock Slide

I don't know if it's the fact that Torterra is the first Pokemon I had since I was in high school, when I stopped playing the games until diamond came out, or what but he holds a certain place on my list and as my first one out of the gate. Tough as a Sherman tank and able to give out as much as he takes, this guy is what I look for in a pokemon.

Glaceon (F) @ Icicle Plate
Ability: Snow Cloak
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Ice Beam
- Shadow Ball
- Hail

I always liked vaporeon in R&B so when i saw that in IV gen they made a ice eveeloution, I made it my goal to get. With SAtk through the roof, she holds my special sweeper role for sure on this team.

Ninetales (M) @ Flame Plate
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 Spd/252 SAtk/4 SDef
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Energy Ball
- Flamethrower
- Dark Pulse

I feel a special conection with the original 150. I beleive it is because of when I started playing pokemon, we lined up for hours to see the first pokemon movie, not because it had exclusive cards or whatnot, but because it was going to show new pokemon. Back to why Ninetales is on my team. Speed! That and Ninetales is my favorite pokemon of all time.

Marowak (M) @ Thick Club
Ability: Rock Head
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Fire Blast

Looking for a UU/NU ground pokemon is hard. There are some good ones out there but none of them have the attack strength of Marowak.

Blastoise (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/6 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Rapid Spin
- Surf
- Toxic
- Protect

Looking for a water pokemon, I had really only one option in my mind. Blastoise is THE water pokemon for me. So when I saw him on the UU/NU list. I took it.

Hypno (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Insomnia
EVs: 252 HP/56 Def/200 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Psychic
- Thunder Wave
- Wish
- Reflect

I needed a wall and what better wall is there besides a Hypno. It can slow whole teams down and heal my team at the same time.

This thread is being locked under rule 3:

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

If you fix the descriptions properly, PM me the changes and I'll unlock your thread.
