Other Metagames mysterious waters (Water Monotype)

[Octazooka M]

Hello people, today brought my mono water team with mega Gyara. Is a offense team with this mega Gyara, so let the sets:

Nessie (Gyarados-Mega) @ Gyaradosite
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Substitute
- Crunch
- Waterfall

Mega Gyara is my mega this team. Mold Breaker is a beautiful ability to offensive Pokemon as mega gyarados, which can use DD (dragon dance) freely Quagsire and other unawares and ignoneres sturdy and wonder guard. Substitute to dodge toxic / wow / twave and predict swicht. Waterfall and crunch are STAB and dragon dance to setup.

Cute and Powerfull (Azumarill) @ Choice Band
Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Waterfall
- Play Rough
- Knock Off

Put azumarill it has the ability sap sipper that makes it immune to grass type moves, which is very good in mono water. Choice Band to give damage (though the set defensive might be better) and also to make a symphony with this offensive team. Aqua jet is for priority. Waterfall and play rough for STAB. Knock off to take eviolite of Chansey and P2.

Atlantic (Manaphy) @ Leftovers
Ability: Hydration
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Tail Glow
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Psychic

Manaphy is my first special attacker that team. Tail glow to buff the spa. Scald for STAB and burn . Ice beam for coverage and psychic to give OHKO mega venusaur with +3, hits poison and fighting-types such as Toxicroak, Amoonguss and keldeo is super effective damage, and hits Water-types such as Suicune, Rotom-W, and is Azumarill neutral damage.

My jewel (Starmie)@ Life Orb
Ability: Analytic
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Hydro Pump
- Psychic / Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam


Starmie is my rapid spinner and also my second special attacker. Rapid spin to remove SR and spikes / toxic spikes on my side of the field. Hydro pump and psychic for STAB. ice beam for coverage. Tbolt hits skarmory and others water types.

Valve.com (Volcanion) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 Def
- Steam Eruption
- Flamethrower / Fire Blast
- Sludge Wave
- Earth Power

Volcanion is my third special striker and my second swicht to grass type Pokemon. Steam eruption and flamethrower are STAB, i prefer to use flamethrower because I have bad luck with fire blast (miss 8 fire blast is not bad luck?) But if you do not have this chance I have, put fire blast. Sludge wave hits fairy types as Clefable and mega Gardevoir that mega gyarados not like. Earth power to other volcanions and eletric types.

Poison Touch (Seismitoad) @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 244 Def / 12 Spe
Bold Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Scald

Seismitoad (or Portuguese: 6mitoADvanced) is my setter hazard and also my swicht for eletric moves (beautiful swicht). Scald to Burn. eQuake for STAB and also hits eletric Pokémon. Toxic to break sweepers.

Cool Team I have a couple of suggestions that should enhance your team.

>

Seismitoad may be faster than Swampert which is a very cool niche although Seismitoad is completely outclassed by the bulkier Stealth Rocker in Swampert and it can run the same exact set that Seismitoad is running but so much more effectively. Thus change also gives your team a bit of needed bulk that Seismitoad did not provide allowing your team to have a more reliable and consistent way of getting up Stealth Rocks. Swampert also has roar which unlike Toxic stops a set up sweep directly instead of waiting 8 turns to eventually wait for the opposing set up sweeper to faint.

On Volcanion Hidden Power Grass>Earth Power. This is due to the fact Earth Power is not very useful against very many Pokemon aside from Steel types which Fire Blast and Steam Eruption hit every steel type very hard. Hidden Power Grass provides an answer for Gastrodon and Seismitoad which are very threatening to your team while making Volcanion harder to switch into and it's a better coverage move than Earth Power.

On Azumarill EVs: 92 or 172 HP / 252 Atk / 164 or 84 Spe>EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD the current Azumarill spread fails to outspeed uninvested base 60's such Clefable, but with 84 Speed it does and overall helps against Thunder Wave Calm Mind Clefable which can be very troublesome for your team., . If 164 Speed is ran my biggest reccomdation is Aqua Tail>Waterfall this is due to the fact that Waterfall fails to 2 Hit KO Skarmory after Stealth Rocks while Aqua Tail with a higher base power does not.

Okay so looking at the team I realize that there are some problems especially when you're facing Ground-types, as your team lacks Speed barring Starmei (which is frail and can be beaten by Scarf Garchomp / Excadrill plus can't really switch in). There's also an issue of Sap Sipper Azumarill being used as a Choice Band user, which is pretty bad because you're not hitting anything hard and you're basically forced to switch out. Obviously Seismitoad isn't the ideal Pokemon to be used in this team either, as the team gets absolutely bodied by Grass Knot Thundurus.

• Definitely the first change would be changing Starmei to Lanturn, contrary to the Speed, Lanturn is absolutely needed on your team because it is a complete counter to special Thundurus and checks like 90% of the Electric-type Pokemon. Lanturn also acts as a cleric and can pass slow Volt Switches to your teammates, giving them a safe switch in. Losing out on Starmei won't do you much harm, as Manaphy could check Venusaur and Breloom with Psychic, and your team isn't weak to Stealth Rock so you're fine.

• Looking at your team, there's a massive Ground-type weakness, especially towards Excadrill, and you could actually go two ways here.

• • If you value Stealth Rock, you could go for Shuca Berry Empoleon with Grass Knot. This allows you to effectively lure a Ground-type, giving more breathing space for the rest of the team.

• • If you value checking things more, you could run Slowbro over Seismitoad to reliably check most Ground-types. Slowbro can eat up Earthquakes from everything except Choice Band Excadrill so it's a hard Pokemon to beat.

• Use iVid's Azumarill spread and change that to Huge Power if you're keen on using it. Checking Breloom will be focused in the next suggestion, but Azumarill isn't the way to go. Putting a bad set on a stall Pokemon is no way good for a bulky offense team like yours. You could also go Belly Drum, but that's pretty situational and average on Water teams so I wouldn't really suggest. Anyways Choice Band gives you a strong priority and ability to pressure Psychic and Ground teams much more easily.

• Final change would be running Max Speed Timid Nature on Volcanion to Speed tie with Breloom in order to KO it. Of course, Spore is an issue but keep in mine you have a cleric now and you could put a Pokemon to sleep and switch to Volcanion to revenge kill it. Breloom is definitely an issue but you're fine when you have Gyarados, Manaphy, and Volcanion.
