My first RMT, open to any suggestion

[Woodbg91]

I battle on Pokemon Online, and I have never actually posted a RTM before, but I felt this team had some real synergy compared to my other teams (most teams I make are just fair). I want to have both a defense and a special defense wall. I'm not much for stalling as I find it slow and not as engaging. I find the least productive member right now to be Kingdra, but can't think of a replacement right now.

Donphan (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Protect

Donphan is my defensive wall and at the same time, he sets up rocks or spins them away. Protect just for some added stalling, get a little HP back from lefties.

Bisharp (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Defiant
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Brick Break
- Night Slash

Bisharp I tried out of the blue, and after a SD, I could usually get at least one poke down, sometimes 2 or 3. Not sure on the Night slash, I'm considering Stone Edge. The hopes are to bring in Bisharp on something that uses a weak attack, and get a SD on the switch then attempt a sweep.

Chansey (F) @ Eviolite
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Wish
- Softboiled
- Heal Bell
- Thunder Wave

My Special defense wall, I really wanted to have heal bell on the team, as status really annoys me and can criple bisharp and kingdra (even with Lum berry). Thunder Wave over toxic so Nidoking doesn't have to worry about outspeeding the para'd poke.

Chandelure (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Fire Blast
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball
- Hidden Power [Fighting]

I always want to have a pokemon with Flash Fire to absorb the very popular fire attacks, and I figure the ghost typing will help me keep chansey and bisharp alive a lot longer.

Nidoking (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Earth Power
- Ice Beam
- Sludge Wave
- Thunderbolt

Nidoking works really well in UU I find, with his amazing coverage and Life Orb + Sheer Force. I tried to give him moves that didn't take from the other pokes coverage.

Kingdra (F) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Waterfall
- Substitute

I wanted someone who could actually take down a few pokes while taking a couple of hits, and I ended up going with kingdra, because I love Dragon Dance, and it's pretty bulky. I was hoping for a poke to do this job better, but Kingdra seemed to fit pretty well, as no other poke has a water type attack.

I think if you want more use from your kingdra you should put in rest over substitute this way you can set up then just rest to get all your hp back and ready to sweep
and on donphan you really dont need protect you should use ice shard so you have more prioity and it will help with low hp guys and against grass types a little

I agree, you can also add something along the lines of cobalion instead of bisharp or a lead mew or offensive mew.

 

[Woodbg91]

Colabion - Which set works best in your opinion? there is physical with the defense drops from CC, or special with the low accuracy focus blast?

Mew - I have only used the swords dance Mew set before, what would you suggest? I already have 2 Special attackers, 1 physical (I count donphan as a wall and not attacker) so would it be more evenly spread as a physical battler?

I think I would drop Kingdra for Mew and Bisharp for Colabion if I were to go this route, I'll test it out tonight and see what seems to work

Thanks for the help guys :)

Bisharp's +2 Sucker Punch is ridiculously strong and should be considered. I suggest you can probably run Substitute over Night Slash to ease some prediction.

Cobalion is great too and the SD set is excellent as an endgame sweeper with his good speed, although CM can also surprise some people as the SD set is a lot more common.
