I'm taking on the Battle Frontier, and the team I currently have is:
Starmie @ Scope Lens
Ability: Natural Cure
Modest Nature
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Ability: Sand Stream
Jolly Nature
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Ability: Thick Fat
Adamant Nature
EVs: 116 HP / 252 Atk / 136 Def/ 6 Spe
If the opponent spams Double Team, switch into Tyranitar, use Dragon dance a few times, since the AI usually focuses on Double Team, it's a good idea to stock up on at least 2 Dragon Dances, and then take them down with Aerial Ace.
Snorlax is just kinda there as a wall, and to put the opponent to sleep if you're really having a hard time with them. Brick Break to take care of Dark, Steel, Rock, and any Normal types, as well as Light Screen or Barrier.
I feel as if I could have somewhat better Pokemon on this team however. Like replacing Tyranitar with Flygon for the full Electric immunity, and replace Snorlax with Metagross perhaps? I'm iffy on Tyranitar and Snorlax, but I think Starmie is a just have for my strategy of taking down the opponent quick with diverse moves, high speed, and high special attack.
What do you guys think?
(Also this is my first time posting to Smogon, I hope this kind of post isnt breaking any rules
)
