hi guys i'm new here and i'm new to competitive battling. i build this team around a week ago. it's doing alright but i feel like there's something missing. so here's the team fixes suggestions are more then welcome :)
Greninja @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 Atk
Hasty Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Grass Knot
- U-turn
Greninja is usually my lead. Thanks to its high speed i can safely scout my opponent with u-turn which gives me early momentum and it gets stab with protean. grass knot is for water types so im not walled by them. i really like this guy he's very unpredictable and not that easy to counter with type changes.
Gengar @ Gengarite
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Sludge Bomb
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
not too sure about mega Gengar in this team, i've got two good revenge killers already so i might swap Gengar for something else. maybe a sub-disable set would suit this team more ? that one turn to activate mega evolution is just enough for my opponent to bring out a counter which most likely carriers pursuit.
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 168 Def / 252 HP / 4 Atk / 84 SDef
Impish Nature
- Leech Seed
- Power Whip
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Wave
Ferrothorn is my defensive wall. it cripples fast sweepers with thunder wave sets rocks and slowly drains hp with leech seed.
Dragonite @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Claw
- Dragon Dance
- Fire Punch
- Roost
weakness Policy is my favorite item. combined with multiscale and dragon dance makes one deadly sweeper. fire punch is for steel types which like to come in on Dragonite. Roost helps abuse multiscale. fairies are not that popular hence so i don't have to worry about them that much and two of the most popular(Azumarill and Togekiss) are countered by rotom.
Rotom-Wash @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Volt Switch
- Will-O-Wisp
- Trick
my another scout/revenge killer/ wall crippler in one. i love this guy its so versatile. usually i scout first with volt switch and then when i kinda know my opponent moves on the switch i use trick to cripple my opp walls. WOW is there to cripple fast physical sweepers that would otherwise cause problems.
Talonflame @ Life Orb
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 196 HP / 252 Atk / 60 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- Roost
- Swords Dance
so here it is. the MVP of the team and the one who can rip teams apart if they are not prepared. its base att is not impressive but priority brave bird is surprisingly strong vs most meta and if i get sword dance off in late game its a gg. priority roost is also handy. hp investment also makes it quite bulky being able to withstand natural attacks relatively easily.
so that's my team. fixes and suggestions are very welcome
