My first B/W team

MetanLax

Changes are in RED



Hello,

I've made my first team, but I think it can still improve a lot.

I don't have a fixed lead, I chose my lead depending on the other team (e.g. If I see a politoed, i'm going to use my Rotom-W)


My team:
-Cloyster (Physical Attacker)
-Dusknoir (Physical Wall, and a bit Special Wall)
-Alakazam (Special Attacker)
-Terrakion (Physical Attacker)
-Togekiss (Special Wall)
-Jirachi (Support + Special Attacker)

A more in-depth look into my team


Cloyster:
Ability: Linked Attack

Item: White Herb
Nature: Jolly
EV’s: 252 Spe, 252 Atk, 4 Hp
Attacks: -Icicle Spear
-Shell Smash
-Rock Blast
-Razor Shell

The thinking after this one is pretty easy, you come in on a physical attacker that doesn't has a super-effective move, you use shell smash (thanks to the white herb, your defense and special defense don't even lower) and then you start clearing with the STAB Icicle Spear or Razor Shell and Rock Blast for flying types.


Dusknoir:
Ability: Pressure

Item: Leftovers
Nature: Carefull
EV’s: 252 Hp, 252 Def, 4 Atk
Attacks: -Pain Split
-Will-O-Wisp
-Earthquake
-Sucker Punch

Ok, this one is made to break physical attackers with WoW, the eq and sucker punch do decent damage, and pain split is made for restoring some HP.


Alakazam:
Ability: Synchronize

Item: Life Orb
Nature: Timid
EV’s: 252 Sp Atk, 252 Spe, 4 Hp
Attacks: -Psychic
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast
-Energy Ball

Alakazam, imo one of the best special sweepers with his 135 base Sp Atk, and 120 base speed. Magic guard is for easily coming in on a leech seed whimsicott and entry hazards.
Psychic is the strong stab move, shadow ball is for killing other psychic types, focus blast is for killing the loads of pokemon that aren't resistant to fighting-type moves, and energy ball is for having a strong grass move in my team.


Terrakion:
Ability: Justified

Item: Choice Scarf
Nature: Adamant
EV’s: 252 Atk, 252 Spe, 4Hp
Attacks: -Close Combat
-Rock Slide
-Earthquake
-X-Scissor

Terrakion, my scarfed revenge killer.
His task is: revenge killing :D
His CC and Rock Slide are really strong STAB attacks who will kill anything that doesn't resists it. He also has eq and X-scissor for having a movepool that has an as good as possible type-coverage.


Togekiss:
Ability: Serene Grace

Item: Leftovers
Nature: Calm
EV’s: 252 Hp, 252 SpD, 4 Def
Attacks: -Thunder Wave
-Air Slash
-Roost
-Aura Sphere


This one is thanks to Quadros, it's the paraflinch set. The opponent has only 30% chance to be able to attack if he's paralyzed and Air Slash is used. It also resist a hell of a lot special attacks, and if necessary you can roost yourself.
Aura Sphere is for hitting Steel- and Rock-type pokemon


Jirachi:
Ability: Serene Grace
dyn002_original_250_250_gif_2586264_95e78cfda6a582c39f017c41de62273d.gif

Item: Leftovers
Nature: Modest
EV’s: 252 Hp, 252 Sp Atk, 4 Spe
Attacks: -Doom Desire
-Wish
-Protect
-U-turn

This one is a pretty uncommon set which I found somewhere on this forums.
The Hp Ev's are for being able to take some hits.
Doom desire is the first move, than you can use wish and after that turn, you can use protect or u-turn (depending on the opponents pokemon).



This is my first RMT, and English isn't my first language, so if I made some faults, please tell me :)
 
You don't have a Special wall, and therefore any special sweeper will cause you an insane amount of problems. Consider making Jirachi your special wall, or switch one of your 3 special attackers for a Special wall. I would say you don't need both alakazam and rotom on the same team, since they both do basically the same job, so consider swapping one of them for a dedicated special wall.
 
Cloyster: even with a shell smash, you aren't doing much vs bulky steel types. They resist rock smash and icicle spear and are immune to poison jab - maybe pick a different fourth move?

Alakazam: Magic guard alazkam is unreleased, sorry.
 
@ Quadros: Ok, is it a good idea to switch my rotom-w to an umbreon?
If I do so, I have a good sp wall, but a pretty big weakness to fight-type moves.

@Red Alert: Cloysters move set isn't that awesome, and I don't find any move that would fit in it, do you have any suggestions?

and I'll switch my ability to synchronize
 
You could go with razor shell as a nice STAB that steel doesn't resist, or mix it up with surf/hydro pump, as cloyster has an OK special attack and shell smash boosts that too.
 
Normally I love Umbreon as a special wall, but in this case it would give you 3 fighting weaknesses. Maybe try Togekiss instead? He's my favourite special wall at the moment, and I use the following build to great effect;

Togekiss@Leftovers
Serene Grace
Calm Nature
252 HP/ 252 SpD/ 4 Def

-Thunder Wave
-Air Slash
-Roost
-Aura Sphere/Heal Bell

This allows you to flinch with Air Slash 60% of the time, with T Wave paralysing 25% of the time. This resulting paraflinch leaves the opponent with only a 30% chance of attacking. The choice between Aura Sphere is a choice between hitting steel and rock pokemon super effectively, and healing your team. Either choice is a good one.

For Cloyster, Shell Blade hits most steel pokemon neutrally.
 
Ok, i'm going for the razor shell,

and the togekiss is an awesome idea, thanks for this :D
And shell blade? I suppose you mean razor shell?
