This is my first RMT, so I hope I am doing it right :)
I wanted my team to be built around skill link cloyster, therefore I took this set:
Cloyster (F) @ King's Rock
Ability: Skill Link
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Shell Smash
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast
- Ice Shard
The main star of the team. With skill link and shell smash, I hope to set up a fast sweeper. Rock smash is used as a coverage move. I was not sure about ice shard, may be I can replace it with something else, but it is a priority move so I kept it.
Espeon @ Light Clay
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Wish
This is again set I took from its entry .I replaced baton pass with wish, as I do not see how baton pass helps. I am also confused b/w psychic and psyshock, but I hope psychic is more useful.
Forretress @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
- Volt Switch
- Gyro Ball
This is the lead which I chose. It has moves to set up entry hazards and to spin the hazards on my side. Between forretress and espeon, I hope to set up ground for other pokemon.
Magnezone @ Choice Specs
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Volt Switch
-
- Flash Cannon
- Thunderbolt
I chose Magnezone as it has good bulk. I took a set from smogon entry and replaced Hidden Power [Fire] with thundershock, as I feel it will help magnezone in compensating its low speed.
Gyarados @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 88 HP / 248 Atk / 4 Def / 168 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Substitute
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Bounce
Since I have forretress to deal with entry hazards, I chose gyarados as my second sweeper. With dragon dance and substitute, I hope to deal with bulky ground type pokemon. I made no modifications from the set mentioned in its smogon entry.
Heatran @ Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Toxic
I took heatran to deal with steel and fire type pokemon. I was confused between infernape and heatran, but infernape does not seem to fit the role I needed as much as heatran. However I could not decide on its moves and ended up with the moveset mentioned in its smogon entry.
