Hello community, I was wondering if you could rate this team :)
Weavile: Level 72
ITEM: Focus Sash
ATTACKS: Night Slash, Avalanche, Toxic, Shadow Claw
Weavile serves as the revenge killer for my team. As my favourite pokemon he was always going to find some role to fill, and luckily I have come up with a few useful scenarios. First of all, the focus sash is my big saviour here. Weaviles defense is, to put it lightly, awful! As such he is prone to OHKO's, particularly from super effective attacks. As such, weavile is usually one of my last pokemon to appear - utilizing his swift speed and deadly attack to finish off survivors. Avalanche, when used against dragon types in conjunction with a focus sash, is the big surprise. True, it isn't always 100% effective, but it's usually more than enough to do the trick!
Torterra: Level 80
ITEM: Soft Sand
ATTACKS: Energy Ball, Earthquake, Frenzy Plant, Protect
Torterra forms one half of my signature double team in double battles. When partnered with my Garchomp, the effect is devastating. First of all, Torterra will protect itself whilst Garchomp relies on speed to get in the first hit - usually an earthquake. Torterra is truely the defensive base in my team.
Garchomp: Level 79
ITEM: Dragon Scale
ATTACKS: Earthquake, Dragon Rush, Draco Meteor, Swords Dance
As mentioned above, Garchomp makes up part of my double team. As an individual combatant, however, he is more than capable of defeating anything that isn't an ice type. When the oppertunity arises, words Dance is played to boost the attack capabilities of Dragon Rush and Earthquake - leaving draco meteor as a finishing move.
Gallade: Level 75
ITEM: Razor Claw
ATTACKS: Psycho Cut, Bulk Up, Close Combat, Drain Punch
Drain punch is usually my last resort attack - say Gallade is low on health. It's not always as effective as a potion but is often the safest bet if faced with a flying type. Psycho Cut's critical hit ratio is made lethal by razor claw and close combat punishes most types. Bulk Up is used early on to provide extra punch to close combat and drain punch.
Lucario: Level 75
ITEM: Metronome
ATTACKS: Aura Sphere, Flash Cannon, Calm Mind, Psychic
The STAB bonus given to Aura Sphere means I get a good amount of power behind my attacks without losing Defensive capabilites or accuracy to attacks like close combat or focus blast. Calm Mind is extra lethal when used on my Lucario, as it means allof his attacks are boosted even further in power, whilst metronome is useful as I often use Aura Sphere numerous times in a row.
Staraptor: Level 75
ITEM: Quick Claw
ATTACKS: Brave Bird, U - Turn, Fly, Roost
Staraptor is a tricky pokemon to get rid of with the above combinations of attacks and item. If faced with a type which is unfavourable, U Turn allows for damage to be done and the safe return of the pokemon. Brave Bird serves as the destroyer and roost to recover damage from recoil etc. Fly is a huge annoyance to enemies hoping to finish of the pokemon early on.
So please, tell me what you honestly think - im open to constructive criticism :)
