Hello Guys! thanks for looking at my team! :D I have been working for months trying to fix this team to make it as balanced as possible but I always get caught by defensive volcaronas and other strong attackers. This is the first team I have created so feel free to give any feedback :D thanks!
Forretress @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Gyro Ball
- Volt Switch
- Rapid Spin
Forretress is just an all round good pokemon with the ability to stealth rock and volt switch as well as tank its way through physical hits, I chose Forretress because I didn't think there was a better pokemon for a tank/stealth rocker. I have however, thought of changing his moveset, however, I am not sure whether to change gyro ball with toxic, or keeping it the same.
Jolteon @ Choice Specs
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Signal Beam
- Volt Switch
- Shadow Ball
Jolteon, although with a shallow movepool and little coverage, volt switch allows me to pivot around enemies that might be seen as a threat and switch back to forretress. I believe there are other alternative pokemon that would better fit the job, however, after intensive research, nothing has caught my attention.
Slowbro @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 80 Def / 176 SpD
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Psyshock
- Scald
- Slack Off
Slowbro, a derpy fellow with the ability to tank Outrage hits from D-nite while Calm minding and Slacking off. Built as a duel tank, he is irreplaceable after he gets 2-3 calm minds off.
Only weakness = Thunderbolt or Giga Drain to the face
Volcarona @ Life Orb
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Fiery Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Giga Drain
Volcarona, my All Out Special attacker, with the ability to sweep teams after only one Quiver Dance boost, it's pretty easy to see why Volcarona would fit the bill as a sweeper.
Sableye @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 96 Def / 160 SpD
Calm Nature
- Recover
- Will-O-Wisp
- Taunt
- Foul Play
Sableye is a pain in the butt to fight against, however, after some gameplay, I still can't decide whether or not to use toxic or WoW, I love the decrease in attack from WoW, but I love stalling strong special attackers. The only issue I see with sableye is if a crit occurs, which it surely will knowing my luck, he is just too weak to take it, but he is a great support, so I'm not sure if I should replace him.
Dragonite @ Choice Band
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Extreme Speed
- Earthquake / Waterfall
- Fire Punch
- Outrage
My one true love, Dragonite.... with a choice band! Just swap in, and pick a move to kill your enemy, along with multiscale to keep yourself from dying. I typically use Dragonite either in the beginning of a match with +1 Outrage or as a late game sweeper with a +1 extremespeed.
