Hello everyone! My name is Jay and this is my first RMT. Now I intend on attending the Pokemon VGC this year in my state and I've been planning a team for it. It does really well too! I have about a 10:2 win/lose ratio on Showdown. It has its flaws though, and one filler pokemon that I want to take out. Se feel free to give suggestions on how to improve it!
The Team (Sorry for the awkward format, it wouldn't work any other way.) also here is it in action! http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/vgc2014-88735025
Maya (Meowstic-F)
Life Orb
Ability: Competitive
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Thunderbolt
- Signal Beam
- Protect
This is the whole reason I made this team. She is an absolute monster. Send her out on an intimidate lead and BAM. Instant Plus 2 Special attack. The EV's seem quite obvious. Max in Speed and SpA to insure sweeping capabilities. 4 in HP to help take a hit. People always stare in awe as she wrecks their team.
Leap Frog (Greninja)
Shell Bell
Ability: Protean
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Taunt
- Mat Block
- Surf
- Dark Pulse
I never understood why everyone loved this thing so much, then I used one. MY WORD IS THIS THING AMAZING. He functions as my main lead. Send him out, and if he's fast enough, support using Matt Block, if not, Do as much damage as possible. The EV's are the same s Meowstic's for the exact same reason for her. This thing is just to powerful.
Swiper (Mienshao)
Focus Sash
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- Protect
- Drain Punch
- Rock Slide
Now this thing right here, is a beast! He's my lead if there is no intimidate lead for Meowstic to set up on. The focus sash is to help survive a brave bird from Talonflame and hit back hard with a rock slide, and the set is quite vanilla for Mienshao. The EV spread isto max sweeping capabilities and ensure to hit something hard. Jolly nature to out speed most fake out users. Drain Punch to heal up if my sash isn't broken.
Easy Bake (Rotom H)
Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Calm Nature
- Overheat
- Discharge
- Thunder Wave
- Protect
This is the start of my killer core. I first went with Rotom W but I found I had a big weakness to Grass so I switched, and I love it! Basically the other half of this core is Garchomp and its to spam Discharge and Earthquake. Yet I needed something to take hits so I EV'd it in Special Defense and HP to tank all special hits. Then the rest is in special attack to do some damage.
Dust Devil
Garchompite
Ability: Sand Veil -----> Sand Force
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Poison Jab
- Dragon Claw
- Protect
Welcome Part Two of my near indestructible core. The power of Garchomp is no laughing matter, stack a mega on that and you have a beast! Now it has a powerful earthquake you can spam with Rotom's Levitate leaves for a Disquake combo with almost no resistance. Poison Jab is for those pesky fairies and Dragon Claw for a strong STAB. The EV's are to ensure I outspeed lots of threats and hit hard back.
Skeleton Key (Klefki)
Light Clay
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Dazzling Gleam
- Protect
Honestly, this thing is just a filler. I love the pokemon and the design but... The two times I used it, it let me down. Its not bulky or strong enough to use in VGC, or I'm doing something wrong, but this is the set I always use and it works on everything but VGC. Do you guys have any ideas? It would be much appreciated.
So theres my team guys, it's a lot of fun to use and quite powerful as well. If you guys could take the time and help I will appreciate it. Thanks you guys!
