I have recently been trying to get into the competitive scene and made an attempt at a team.
I have noticed a large weakness to fire type moves though.
I am looking for suggestions and changes that can be made to the team
Volcarona: Modest, Life Orb, Flame Body
EV Special Attack and Speed
Quiver Dance
Bug Buzz
Gigga Drain
Fiery Dance
I figured with this pokemon being as good as it is that it would be a good special sweeper to add in to my team. Opening with Quiver dance and then maybe Fiery dance for some damage mixed with another possible boost to it's Special attack.
Scizor: Adamant, Leftovers, Technician
EV HP, Attack, Speed
Swords Dance
Roost
Bullet Punch
Bug Bite
With this being my favourite pokemon in the game so far I knew it had to be my primary Physical Sweeper. With enough Physical Defense to take a hit to use Swords dance for one turn and then speed to go first, I thought it would be a great one unless the opposing team had a faster fire type move to take it out first.
Skarmory: Impish, Leftovers, Sturdy.
EV HP, Defense
Spikes
Roost
Brave Bird
Whirlwind
I thought this pokemon would be the best one to open up the battle with. It would use Whirlwind to Force entry Damage. With it's high defense it would be able to layer spikes and when it's HP got low it would roost to recover quickly. Plus with it's bulk maybe stall if the opposing pokemon are poisoned or burned in the battle.
Breloom: Jolly, Lum Berry, Technician
EV Speed, Attack
Spore
Mach Punch
Bullet Seed
Swords Dance
By Opening up with Spore and Swords Dance I figure it would make another good sweeper if my Scizor was taken down. Plus that ability with Mach Punch and Bullet seed I figured I would be able to almost go first every with with some boosted attack.
Jolteon: Gentle, Volt Absorb
EV Speed Attack
Thunder Wave
Rest
Snore
Thunder Fang
I was hoping that Jolteon might make a good Paraflincher. Opening with Thunder wave and continuing with Thunder Fang. When it's HP got too low, it could use rest to recover and then it could use snore to keep flinching until it woke up.
Gliscor: Bashful, Poison Heal, Toxic Orb
EV HP Defense, Speed
Swords Dance
earthquake
Ice Fang
Taunt
I was hoping he would make a good balance for my team easily half downed by fire type moves.
I thought it would be good for taking out Pokemon that are required for a set up. Baton pass users would be a good example. pretty hard to use baton pass after being taunted right?
