My Normal Team

NurseJoisa

This is sorta my first attempt a mono-team and I definitely could use some help. I've had troubles with Blissey and Heracross. But it's only been tested twice. So enjoy :)


Smeargle-@Salac Berry (244Hp/12Def/252 Spd) Timid
~Own Tempo~
*Baton Pass
*Belly Drum
*Substitute
*Spore
He's my opener and so far he is not doing the job. Everything seems to out speed him or find some way of shutting him down.


Togekiss-@Leftovers (148Hp/176Def/100Satk/85Sdef) Calm ~Serene Grace~
*Thunder Wave
*Air Slash
*Roost
*Aura Sphere
This acts as my special wall and Thunder wave support. Aura Sphere has been helping with Tryanitars pretty well :)



Miltank-@Leftovers (252Hp/224Def/32Spd) Impish
~Thick Fat~
*Seismic Toss
*Milk Drink
*Heal Bell
*Thunder Wave
My favorite pokemon, he offers more wave support and acts as a defensive wall. His clerical abilities come in great handy too.


Porygon-Z-@Choice Scarf (252Spd/252 Spa/6Hp) Modest
~Adaptability~
*Thunderbolt
*Ice Beam
*Tri Attack
*Dark Pulse
I had trouble deciding between Dark Pulse and HP Fighting. So I just went with pulse. He is my special sweeper. It's difficult to find a great special attacking normal type so I feel he holds a lot of power on this team and he's one of my few answers to Skarmory.


Zangoose-@Silk Scarf (252 Spd/252 Atk/6 Hp) Adamant
~Immunity~
*Close Combat
*Return
*Quick Attack
*Fire Punch
This is my first weapon to go along with Smeargle. Putting quick attack on him in combination with Silk Scarf has really been a big help. It just seems that these normal physical attackers just can't compete with the speed of this metagame.



Kangaskhan-@Leftovers (212 Hp/172Atk/108Def/18Spd) Impish ~Scrappy~
*Sucker Punch
*Earthquake
*Aerial Ace
*Return
The second weapon with Smeargle. Kangaskhan has helped in not only offensive ways but defensive. He can wall some pretty hefty attacks with his great HP and defence ev's. Although he doesn't seem to be packing enough punch? Should I consider giving him a different item to hold?



Thank you in advanced!
 
Holy crap, it's only been 15 minutes! Don't be so impatient. Good team rates take time. I'll give you a proper rate soon, just learn to be patient.
 
Okay, Smeargle is definitely NOT a good lead. Too slow and dies to everything. Start with Porygon-Z instead.

You're using Miltank wrong. Miltank is not a Blissey clone, so do not give her the same moves that a Blissey would have.
Unlike Blissey, Miltank has a decent Attack, so put more offensive moves like Earthquake and Body Slam over Seismic Toss and Thunder Wave.

Your Kangaskhan is weak because it has the wrong nature and is too slow. Make it Adamant and give it enough Speed to beat Heracross.

Okay, so obviously, you've got a MAJOR Fighting weakness. How do you go about handling Fighting types? I suggest a Chople Berry somewhere, and even then, this team will be very hard to pull off in a game full of Fighting attacks.
 
Yeah, a Chople Berry is definitely a must. Put it on the Kangaskhan because it's the only member of your team to be weak to Fighting and have a move that beats Fighting-type Pokémon (Aerial Ace).
 
Thank you aragornbird+ I agree with you about Miltank definitely, do you think Blissey would just plain do better? I'm just worried about my physical defenses. But I really do like the Chople Berry idea. I'm still doubtful about the Smeargle idea. Should I just drop that?
