My First RMT, I hope to take it far

Now this is my first RMT and i thought i would put a small short intro as to who I am. I'm 15, I live in Austin, Texas, pokemon is literally my main video game, but i like football, basketball, lax, and just chilling with my buddies. and thats me! :)



Terrakion @ Rock Gem Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Protect




now my first choice for a poke after trying many different combos, i fell in love with abusing Terrakion's Justified ability, and Whimsicott using beat up. i chose the rock gem for the first hit to hopefully sweep the opponents first two pokemon then switch my whimsicott to Amoongus or maybe reuniclus.




Whimsicott (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Helping Hand
- Charm
- Tailwind
- Beat Up


Whimsicott is key to pull of Terrakions ability with the move Beat Up. but having charm to easily take out any physical sweepers, or using tailwind first turn to speed my team up.







Thundurus (M) @ Charti Berry
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Ice]


Thundurus is my quick hit and run poke he can swoop in grant me a wish and destroy a dragon type or maybe dark type. maybe sub to cause a couple quick K.O.s





Amoonguss (M) @ Mental Herb
Trait: Effect Spore
EVs: 196 HP / 156 Def / 156 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Rage Powder
- Spore
- Giga Drain
- Protect


This abusive pokemon keeps my other pokes alive, a quick Rage Powder or spore can literally make a change mid game for me, giga drain is just for taunts protect when some noob tries to KILL its lol. and since there in no sleep clause i will spore u till u are a big sleepy mess.





Chandelure (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Flame Body
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Overheat
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball


With the ability to preview the teams during VGC i like to switch chandy and the Djinn around depending on predections, calm mind can help me protect and wipe the enemy. And if they pull water type i have Energy Ball





Reuniclus (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Magic Guard
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef
Quiet Nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
- Trick Room
- Focus Blast
- Psychic
- Thunder




Last i decided on one of my favorite pokes the almighty rankarusu, or the human fetus poke. he can effectively set up TR, reverse TR, take out hydreigon, and wipe the opponents bottom he is the bulky Bas**** who is my back bone.










P.S. i did originally have a much longer post, with Mega-In depth choice reasons, and background on all reasons. the reson for this much shorter less indepth post is due to my computer getting destroyed whenever we had a power surge. i hope to make myself known, and cant wait to see any of the smogon guys at the dallas regional championship.
 
with chandelure, its useless to have calm mind on a choice set. get rid of it.

while your team is clearly tailwind based around whimsicott and terrakion, you put two slow pokemon on the team. additionally, you put a trick room pair on your team but setting up trick room when only half your team benefits from it would be a waste. try to stick to one plan or change some team members around.
 
i was thinking about switching out thundurus for something like hydreigon bc i cant find a good iv good nature thundurus, and calm mind taken out now, i now have fire blast
 
Because there is team preview in the VGC. We thought otherwise until somewhat recently. We'll bring six pokemon and choose four we want to battle with.

Now onto the actual RMT:
For Chandelure replace Calm Mind with Heat Wave because you have Chocie Specs, this also gives you spread damage.
For Reuniclus replace Thunder with Shadow Ball so you can do something to trick room users and Thunder is very in-accurate.

Everything else looks pretty good other than Terrakion's nature, you're using Beat Up which means it gets to +4 attack anyways, and the main thing that will beat it at that point will be being outsped and revenge killed, this means that Jolly will be the better nature.
 
I faced this team team today, I think it is very well thought out. my main suggestion is changing Terakions item to Choice Scarf. Since you're boosting Tera to +4 you dont need a whole lot of power and the Scarf means you outspeed almost everything in the tier.

He already has Whimsicott's Tailwind, and a +4 Rock Gem Rock Slide OHKOs literally everything that doesn't resist it, including Amoonguss, which is especially important.

Since you already have Hidden Power Ice to hit Hydreigon, I'd recommend Grass Knot over Focus Blast on Thundurus, as it's far more accurate, and still does as much damage against Terrakion and Gigalith. I'm also seconding Shadow Ball over Thunder on Reuniclus, you'll find it much more effective.
 
This team wasnt working out for me on anything but the pokemon online team, because I cant breed the IVs to work out correctly, and forgot about egg breeding for beat up and a couple others, I've also decided on switching to a fully TR team. I may or may not get around to posting the RMT for it, if i do have time though i may make this team just for rated battles on DS. Thankyou so much guys the feedback really means alot and really helps.
