Nostalgic Nightmare

[RoboRojo]

This is my first Little Cup Team, I don't think it is that bad, but could use a lot of help which is why I came here.

Team Preview:

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Nano (Ferroseed) (F) @ Eviolite
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 84 HP / 36 Atk / 188 Def / 148 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Spikes
- Leech Seed
- Bullet Seed
- Protect
Ferroseed is used as my "fake lead". When an opposing Pokemon with any type of entry hazards comes in, like another Ferroseed, I switch in Natu to bounce the hazards away. Ferroseed is also used to scout out an opposing team with Protect, and is a great physical wall when it comes to non-fighting types.

Totemtop (Natu) (F) @ Light Clay
Trait: Magic Bounce
EVs: 116 HP / 36 Atk / 76 Def / 76 SDef / 196 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- U-turn
- Wish
Natu is my "true lead"/dual screener. When an opposing Poke comes out and threatens my team with hazards, Natu is sent in to bounce them away. With U-turn and WIsh support Natu is also a great asset when it comes down to healing my precious team. Dual Screens along with Eviolite on my defenders makes an extremelys strong line of defense for this team which is boosted even higher witht he help on Light Clay.

Bob (Timburr) (M) @ Oran Berry
Trait: Guts
EVs: 76 HP / 196 Atk / 156 Def / 76 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Payback
- Mach Punch
Timburr is my main offensive powerhouse and a favorite in the team. With a Bulk Up up and Reflect, Timburr can take nearly any physical move thrown at him and is able to out Drain/Bulk Up Croagunk and Mienshao when Screens are up, and Mach Punch is at my disposal. I prefer running Drain Punch on Timburr because while he is setting up his Bulk Ups and taking damage it is nice to know that he can get some nice Health. Its funny, Bob is meant to build things up, but Timburr crashes them DOWN!!!

My Squishy (Frillish) (F) @ Eviolite
Trait: Cursed Body
EVs: 236 HP / 196 Def / 76 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Scald
- Ice Beam > Shadow Ball
- Taunt
- Recover
Frillish is a great asset of my team having the power to take Gastly head on and recover from it. Frilish is weak to Electric moves which is why I have diglett on my team to take them. Frillish is also a good Spin blocker along with Litwick because of its typing and taunt which avoids Seeds. The reaso I have Ice Beam over Shadow Ball, is because if I was up against a Gastly I would be too slow to use it, and against a Litwick I could use Scald. Ice Beam is used for opposing Dratini and other Dragons. "He is my squishy, and he shall me mine, and he shall be my squishy."

6.02x10^23 (Diglett) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Arena Trap
EVs: 36 HP / 236 Atk / 236 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Sucker Punch
- Shadow Claw

Diglett is my electric-absorber for Frillish, as well as a good revenge killer with its Sucker Punch. Diglett is a strong hitter and can trap Magnemite like it's nobody's business. I can use Diglett, without losing priority and still pack a punch.

Fiendfyre (Litwick) (M) @ Eviolite
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 40 HP / 76 Def / 236 SAtk / 156 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Fire Blast
- Energy Ball
- Shadow Ball
- Substitute
Litwick is in my team mainly because of Ferroseed and a fire-type absorber for my Diglett. If given the oppurtunity Litwick is able to SubKill opposing Pokes, but isn't a really solid member being weak to Gastly. Litwick is also my first choice against an opposing Abra because of his strong Special attacks.

there might be a slight problem with dark types given the 3:2 weakness to resist ratio. I would also stay as far away from relying on diglett to take ANY hit as possible. Rock is well covered. Maybe try HP fight on lickwick somewhere, an oposoing fire type (like charmander who acording to statistics is rather common) could walk all over the set. Tentacool would wall it too, its great SpD makes it no problem, HP fight would be good for coverage.

And what does frillishes speed have to do with using shadow ball? ice beam will only be hitting gligar and gligar wont really like scald either. Put shadow ball on. Not sure what a frillish could taunt, its rather slow.

Houndour also completely walks over all but diglet and timbur, diglet couldnt hurt it with sucker punch while houndour OHKOs with sucker punch or other STABs, while timbur wont enjoy fire blast, frillish takes care of them too.

What does sub do on litwick? ocasionally you could get one when you force a switch but unless you fear status from slower pokes or have something to set up i dont see why to have it.

here is a tip, someone i battled did this and it messed me up, change the Def EVs and put them into SDef and vice versa, max out the SDef and use bulk up to cover the Def.
croagunk potentially could be a problem, sucker punch, vacuum wave hit alot of your team super effectively, bar timburr and diglet, as well the houndour one frillish messes them up, duskull too since payback will be hitting it with a measly 50 base power. Mayve run iron fist on timburr? i dont know why no one does, 30% boost to mach punch and drain punch sounds apealing.
