Ok so this is my second post to RTM. If you don't already know I am a well versed competitive player and have been playing Wi-fi battles since gen 5. I made this team to win battles and have fun yes I know it might seem extremely generic but this team was made to win. Just in case you're wondering I named the team Poetic Justice, its named after the Kendrick Lamar (I had nothing better to name it and I was listening to that song when I made this)
The Team
Aegislash
@ Spooky Plate
Set -
Nature - Quiet
Stance Change
IV 0 Speed
EVs - 252 Hp/ Sp.A; 4 Att
Shadow Sneak - Priority STAB move.
Shadow Ball - STAB move very powerful
Flash Cannon - For fairy types and STAB
King Shield - to protect and mess with people's heads
OK so Special Aegislash is becoming increasingly more common but its still a great surprise. When Physically defensive Rotom comes in and uses Will-O-Wisp then I hit it with a shadow ball it does some amazing amounts of damage. This set is underrated in my opinion but works well.
Charizard (Y)
@ Charizardite Y
Set -
Nature - Timid
Blaze --> Drought
EVs - 252 Speed/ Sp.A; 4 Def
Dragon Pulse - Powerful, and can eliminate dragon types including Charizard X
Fire Blast - STAB and in the sun, this thing does great damage to pokemon even Sp D Rotom W
Solarbeam - Coverage and compliments the sun
Roost - recover damage to continue your onslaught
Two comments before I tell you why I picked this Charizard. 1. Shiny Charizard Y looks sexy af, 2. Charizard is back and more powerful than ever. Ok I chose this Charizard over X because I feel this one compliments my team better. This guy is my special sweeper and mega for a good reason, reason being he does a damn good job at what he does.
Conkeldurr
@ Assault Vest
Set -
Nature - Adamant
Guts
EVs - 252 HP; 180 Att; 76 Sp.D
Mach Punch - STAB priority
Drain Punch - To recover HP while your breaking teams in half and STAB
Ice Punch - Coverage for Dragons
Knock off - Coverage and to knock off items
I put more EVs in Sp.D to make the assault vest more effective and boy does it work well. This guy is my powerful physical attacker. If I can predict when Rotom, Mandibuzz, or other pokemon are going to use Toxic or Will-o-Wisp and switch Conkeldurr in, I say thanks for the boost and proceed to crap on the team with this guy.
Ferrothorn
@ Rocky Helmet
Set -
Nature - Careful
Iron Barbs
EVs - 252 HP; 180 Def; 76 Sp.D
Leech Seed - to get that delicious nutritious HP back
Power Whip - For damage
Protect - scout and to stall leech seed
Stealth Rock - to get my hazards up
Yes I know the EVs are weird but they work for me and work well for this team in my opinion. Rocky Helmet damage takes 16% of your HP couple that with 12% from Iron Barbs and if leech seed is up another 12% which adds up to 40% damage with out me having to do a thing and if I'm going for power whip, your opponents won't last long. This is my mixed wall and if I'm unsure what the opponent wants to go for I can just switch him in, keep him in or switch to the more appropriate wall.
Mandibuzz
@ Leftovers
Set -
Nature - Impish
Overcoat
EVs - 252 HP/ Def; 4 Att
Foul Play - to hit physical attackers hard (especially Aegislash)
Toxic - status
Defog - to assist Charizard and to get rid of other hazards
Roost - Gotta get that delicious HP back
Mandibuzz is one of the best defogers out there. Considering I needed one I chose her cause she works well with the team. Mandibuzz is 2/3 of my defensive core and is the main physical defender. She can take physical hits very well but she needs some more help on the specially defensive side.
Rotom W
@ Leftovers
Set -
Nature - Calm
Levitate
EVs - 252 HP/ Sp.D; 4 Def
Hydro Pump - STAB and super powerful, yes it misses sometimes but it pays off when it needs to
Volt Switch - STAB and gives me switch priority when I need it
Will-O-Wisp - Burn Baby!!! To render physical nearly useless
Pain Split - I prefer this over rest cause after you use that Chesto berry its gone
Rotom W is so good this generation and works well as a Special Wall. This is the final member of my team and my defensive core but is amazingly powerful. This little guy tanks hit super well from Special Attackers like Nidoking, Alakazam, and other pokemon. Rotom W compliments Mandibuzz and Ferrothron very well. Rotom W also walls and can take care of my rock weakness pretty well.
THREATS
Mega Manectric - he does work on this team and if Rotom W is gone I loose a bunch of my team members
Excadrill/ Tyranitar - again Rotom W plays a big role in taking them out, if I loose him I need to start playing very well
Yes I said it before I'll say it again, this is generic but it works extremely well. I know this team has no choiced, or life orbed pokemon and even though choiced and life orbed pokemon work well I feel my team works well without them.
It means a lot that you're reading this and if you use this team it means even more. Feel free to make suggestions and critique my team. Thank you again!
