I am not very good at making teams. This is one of my first, and I really want to see how to make it better!
I have noticed that Fairy types demolish my team. Anything with protect (Minus my beautiful Trevenant <3) and a toxic will demolish my team. Fire types destroy my team.
Pretty much I have huge holes that I am not exactly sure how to fix. I am willing to make any changes that you might suggest :) And am open to any and all tips that you may have when building future teams.
Trevenant @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Confuse Ray
- Phantom Force
- Focus Blast
- Destiny Bond
I am not exactly sure what I was doing here. I just played a similar set up in Randoms, and thought he would make a great addition to the team. His ability to use Destiny Bond was also attractive, because I could set him up to fail against one of the stronger Pokemon (Bisharp...) and take him out with me. To do this effectively I should probably alter the EVs to a higher speed, but I digress.
Tangrowth @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Protect
- Knock Off
- Leech Seed
- Toxic
I attempted to make a wall. I am not exactly sure if he is the most effective considering his type. I mean a fire type would demolish him. However, as a regenerator, I could put a status effect on my opponent, and still recover health when I switch out to a more offensive Pokemon.
Bronzong @ Light Clay
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 SpD
Gentle Nature
IVs: 30 Atk / 30 Def / 30 SpA
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Earthquake
- Shadow Ball
I also used this Pokemon in Randoms, and found him to be a great wall there, but in this team he isn't quite working out. He gets quickly demolished before I can set up R/LS. I usually start with him to give a little protection to my other Pokemon before they set out.
Breloom @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Stone Edge
- Focus Blast
- Seed Bomb
- Spore
I have always enjoyed playing with this Pokemon w/similar move set in Randoms, and he works quite well. HOWEVER when I come up against a Pokemon like Bisharp or certain fairy types, he dies instantly in this team set up. He is usually the third Pokemon I send out. With Spore, he can put out another status effect on stronger Pokemon, and either switch out for a better type advantage, or just demolish the team.
Charizard @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Air Slash
- Fire Blast
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
All teams need a mega right? I found Charizard to be useful against grass, steel (Bisharp), and similar. I am willing to change him out for a better suggestion.
Slowking @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpA
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Slack Off
- Psychic
I liked Slowkings Regenerate ability. He also filled a type hole, and was a great second to my first choice greninja (he is now banned from OU). Again, I am not very good at making teams yet, so I can understand how this entire team could be cringe worthy.
