Intro
This is the first team i have ever made for any play online. I thought I would try out a Drought team because of how much weather is being used in the meta game apparently. At a glance here is my team.
I will admit I am a noob when it comes to competitive play so any help given will be useful thank you very much
This is the first team i have ever made for any play online. I thought I would try out a Drought team because of how much weather is being used in the meta game apparently. At a glance here is my team.
Ninetails
Timid nature (+Spe/-Atk)
Drought
248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 Spe
- Flamethrower
- Will-o-Wisp
- Roar
- Substitute
Ninetails is mainly their to get my sun up. I use Flamethrower for my stab attack plus sun. I choose Will-o-Wisp over Toxic because the attack decrease will help me since i don't have a wall other then Forretress. I use Roar to scout out the other team also when its not a good fit for me. I decided to go with Substitute over another attack to scout out the other team.
Venusaur@Life Orb
Modest nature (+SpA/-Atk)
Chlorophyll
32 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 220 Spe
- Solarbeam
- Sludge Bomb
- HP Fire
- Growth
I use this as one of my special sweepers. I chose Solarbeam over energy ball because Im optimistic that i will have the sun out plus it just stronger. I have Sludge Bomb over Earthquake for the simple reason of the stab boost and it covers dragons better. HP Fire to get rid of those dang Ferrothrons. Growth just to boost up my SpA even more than it already is.
Zoroark@Life Orb
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
Illusion
- Swords Dance
- Night Slash
- U-turn
- Flamethrower
I know Zoroark should be a special attacker, but I have my Zoroark be a regular attacker just because my opponent would not expect it. Also it used to fake as my Chandulure to go up against Psychic types. I change Night Slash for stab attack. Sword Dance to boost my attack more than it already is. U-turn to switch out of a dangerous situation. Flamethrower to act as my Chandulure and also for Ferrothrons.
Forretress@Leftovers
Sassy nature (+SpD/-Spe)
Sturdy
248 HP / 252 SpD / 8 Def
- Stealth Rock
- Gyro Ball
- Rapid Spin
- Volt Change
I use fortress as my Special Wall. It is mainly use as entry hazards to get stealth rocks up also to Rapid Spin them away. Volt Change to help against Politoed and to switch out to get a better type match up if possible. Gyro Ball to make use of another attack may switch to protect, but I will probably keep it for now.
Darmantian@Life Orb
Jolly(+Spe/-SpA)
Sheer Force
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
- Bulk Up
- Flare Blitz
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
Thank to MrFunnyShoes I realize I didn't have a physical sweeper. One my friend said just go with Darmantian and gave me this set. Bulk Up to increase my Attack and Defense. Flare Blitz over Fire Punch because its stronger. Earthquake and Stone Edge for more type cover than I already have. I'm still testing this Pokemon out and another option for me could possibly be a Dragonite.
Chandelure@Expert Belt
Modest(+SpA/-Atk)
Flash Fire
252 SpA/ 252 Spe/ 4 HP
- Shadow Ball
- Flamethrower
- Solar Beam
- HP Ice
I use Chandulure as my last special sweeper. The idea he was to get the most coverage possible. Shadow Ball stab ghost. Flame thrower in the Sun is always welcome. Solar Beam if sun is out to get rid of the ground and water types. HP Ice to get rid of those dang dragons now that i don't have Heatran.
