Before we get into the team I must tell you a story...
A story of young wci. (Edit forgot to say my new account is reborn wci)
Once opon a time there was a pokemon showdown player. His name was wci. Wci loved pokemon showdown. He played it everyday. Untill...
Some thing happened to wci. He stoped. The big smile on his face. From playing pokemon showdown. Was gone. He had quit. And along the time he quit something had happened. Wci then found pokemon showdown again. Everything improved. The smile on his face was coming back. He was cured. He has learned lots of things. He was improved. He was reborn..

Now that you know the story of young wci. Now we are going to use reborn wci’s improvements to explain a team for even more improvements.
I wanted to build a balance team but I didn’t know who to build around so I first added chansey. She is a very bulky spdef tank able to tank almost any special attack. Then I added physically defensive toxapex and ferrothorn to check chansey threats like Zard, Zygrade, weevile and more! I didn’t want to lose to pokemon like rain swampert or mega medi, so I added koko specs koko with grass knot to deal with them. Then I added gliscor for ground types like scarf lando. He also helps with lopunny without ice punch, stalling ferrothorn, and koko. He is a very realiable defogger because I have chansey for any special attacker and toxapex to cover ice types. Since ferrothorn is a threat and other balance teams can be annoying I added hoopa to break through the pokemon that is hard to beat.
Now lets get into the team.
Chansey @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Toxic
- Seismic Toss
- Stealth Rock
- Soft-Boiled
The first member of my team is chansey. She can tank any special attack. Because special attackers can’t do much when I have chansey they will switch. This allows me to get free stealth rocks which is very helpful for my team. It needs the chip damage everytime my opponents mon switches. Not only when my opponent switches I can get up rocks, but I also can get a free toxic. My team isn’t the attackiest team ever. It’s more of a healing and stalling team so the toxic really helps out.
Toxapex @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Toxic Spikes
- Recover
- Haze
The next member of my team is toxapex. His ev spread is max defense because I have chansey for special attackers. He helps vs fighting types which can deal a good bit of damage to my team. Haze is for setup mons like power up punch lopunny, and charizard x. His rengenerator ability is so useful. Allow me to keep switching to physical attackers doing a good bit of damage to pex and just hazing if there setup. Scald is for burn and removing subs. Toxic spikes is for chip damage. My team needs it! It helps me take out threats and just taking out mons in general.
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Leech Seed
- Power Whip
- Protect
- Gyro Ball
Ferrothorn is supposed to check everything that toxapex can’t. Ferrothorn helps vs rain and ground types. Leech seed just adds more recovery witch means more stalling :D He is max defense like toxapex because again he is supposed to check everything toxapex can’t. Power whip is great for water types if they stay in. Protect is for extra healing and to see what move my opponent will do. Ferro checks physical psychic types and my last move is gyro ball because it helps vs ice types, fairy types, and fast pokemon.
Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 130 Def / 110 SpD / 16 Spe
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Defog
- Roost
- U-turn
Gliscor deals with heatran. Heatran traps ferrothorn, chansey and pex. U turn is for pokemon who can’t really beat gliscor in a 1v1. So they’ll switch and that easily gives me momentum. If my opponent has a mew out with no ice beam, I’ll use u turn and bring ou the koko to deal with there meda champ. It’s better then nothing. Gliscor helps with scarf lando because he’s a flying type and other scarfed ground types. He is my defoger because the Pokémon’s who can’t beat him will switch and I get a free defog. He is a switch in and stalls ferrothorn since the toxic orb recovers the leech seed damage. Ferrothorn won’t really hurt you so you can defog as much as you want.
Tapu Koko @ Choice Specs
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Grass Knot
- Dazzling Gleam
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
Koko deals with the threats to my team. Grass knot is for rain swampert making me only have Tom worry about kingdra Andy I have chansey for that. Volt switch great move for switching to one of my tanks. He deals with pex, he has volt switch so I can switch To hoopa to deal with ferrothorn. He helps vs greninja although I have chansey. Dark types. He can deal some damage to lele making her easy to deal with. I think he’s pretty good for the team.
Hoopa-Unbound @ Choice Band
Ability: Magician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Hyperspace Fury
- Zen Headbutt
- Fire Punch
- Drain Punch
Finally, hoopa is my stall breaker since stall or balance is annoying to face with this team. Hyperspace fury bypasses protect making hoopa useful for ferrothorn or chansey. Zen headbutt is for pokemon like pex. Drain punch gets me nice recovery if the pokemon im about to kill is low. Fire punch is to make sure ferrothorn dies.
And that’s it! Feel free to comment any suggestions. I’m still learning alot. Heres the paste of the team https://pokepast.es/d4ae52b955e6501e. Thanks for reading and have a good day. Also here’s a threat list.
Mega medichamp - I have no switch ins. It’s pretty much lose a mon whenever he comes out.
Tapu lele with psyshock - Gliscor, ferrothorn, and toxapex are def tanks. Chansey is spdef. If it’s not scarf or specs then it’s a problem.
Trick room - I have not played again trick room but I still think it’s a threat
Hp ice lando - He can hp ice my gliscor
Ferrothorn - He does a good bit to hoopa. If hoopa dies then ferrothorn can stay in for a long time and hurt my pokemon.
