Hi guys, I have been trying to make it into the ladder for a loooooooooong time xD But I have not managed it, I am not a bad battler tbh (not the greates either), but my teambuilding sucks. Thanks to Arcanine is Regal for the help with this team. Please help me with this team, I really want to make into the ladder. I have tried to make a balanced team btw.
Preview:
Pinsir @ Pinsirite
Ability: Hyper Cutter
Happiness: 0
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Frustration
- Earthquake
- Quick Attack
Mega Pinsir is an awesome pokemon, but I hadnt really used him so much. So I decided to make a team around him, because I have been sweeped by this guy before. Its Jolly, with a pretty normal Ev Spread. Sword Dance to set up on pokes, Frustration to hit hard and Quick attack for Priority. Earthquak and Close combat were the moves I considerd for the last slot, but I decided to go for EQ, because of Aegislash and such. If I encounter a Aegislash, I cant do shit with CC so EQ helps out a lot. They pretty much hit the same stuff.
Skarmory (F) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 232 Def / 252 HP / 24 Spd
Bold Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Roost
- Counter
- Defog
Skarmry covers a lot of Pinsirs weaknesses, such as the HUGE rock weakness. Thats why I went for this poke, instead of Mandibuzz (which is a great pokemon). The EV spread is the suggested spread from Smogon :P Dont hesitate if you want me to change it. The moveset is also standard, SR is normal, Roost for recovery, Counter is very good. If I have full HP, I can take down almost any fire type out there. I was battling a guy, and he started to set up with is Talonflame. He managed to set up 3 times, then he used Flare Blitz, which I survided thanks to Sturdy and then Counter and it died. (So did I from the following burn). Defog is to get rid of SR, which cripples my dear Pinsir.
Chansey (F) @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Soft-Boiled
- Seismic Toss
- Heal Bell
Chansey is one of the greates walls in this meta game. It can take both physical and Special hits, which is great, thanks to Eviolite. It also helps a lot against Greninja, Thundurus and other electric types. Thunder Wave is to slow down the opponents, Soft Boil for recovery. Seismic toss for damage and Heal bell to get rid of Burn, toxic etc. A pretty standard EV spread.
Keldeo @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Scald
- Hydro Pump
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Secret Sword
Keldeo is my Special Sweeper. This guy is great and can get rid of a lot of threats pretty quick. It is pretty fast and powerful, and it handles chansey pretty well. Its a Normal EV spread and set. Scald to get burn and to have a water attack that doesnt miss, Hydro Pump for Nuke, Hidden power Ice to hit flying types, dragons etc and Secret Sword as STAB. Secret swords hits almost everything pretty hard, and its so fun to watch the opponents Tyranitar get OHKO.
Tyranitar @ Smooth Rock
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 156 HP / 100 Atk / 252 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Stone Edge
- Pursuit
- Ice Punch
- Fire Blast
Sand is pretty good in this meta game. And it works pretty well on my team. Smooth rock to make the sand last longer, so my excadrill can sweep more. And its a full attacking set to catch the opponents by surprise. Pursuit to get rid of most psycich types and ghost types. Fire Blast for the annoying Scizors and Ferros and SKarm. Ice Punc for Landorus if it switches in or Dragons. Stone Miss, for STAB.
Excadrill (M) @ Air Balloon
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Iron Head
This was actually supposed to be my spinner, but Arcanine is Regal changed the set and it worked out pretty well. Instead of a spinner, it became my fast sweeper. As long as sand is up, very few thigns outspeed this boy. Sword Dance to set up, EQ for Stab and to get rid of Ttar, and other steel types. Rock Slide to hit flying types and Dragons, and Iron head to hit Fairies and such.
Please help me with finding the flaws, so I can become a better battler.
