RMT First try at 5th Gen

So I'm pretty new to this so please let me know what you think and if there are any changes I might wanna look into making.

Hippowdon@Leftovers
Sand Stream
252HP/252Def/4SpD
Impish
Earthquake
Slack Off
Stealth Rock
Roar

I decided to lead with Hippowdon because my main sweeper is excadrill so I lead with Hippowdon to set up the sandstorm for Excadrills sand rush also because he has access to SR and Slack off making him a nice healing physical wall. He can take some shots to set up SR and then just use slack off to brush off the damage using roar to get rid of those who are a threat to hippowdon or to force switches for extra damage from SR. I used this ev spread so he can be even more tanky.


Excadrill@Life Orb
Sand Rush
252Atk/252Spe/4HP
Adamant
Swords Dance
Earthquake
Rockslide
X-Scissor

At first I picked Excadrill because I just really liked him. But after reading how strong he really was I decided to go with him for sure. I decided to go with life orb instead of air balloon because if I feel threatened an EQ might come I can just switch in Hippowdon to take the shot. I decided to go with 252 attack and speed because with speed evs plus sand rush I think he can out speed just about any other pokemon. EQ is the obvious STAB while Rockslide and X-Scissor are they to add more coverage this way no pokemon can resist all of his moveset.


Forretress@Leftovers
Sturdy
252HP/252SpD/4Def
Impish
Spikes
Toxic Spikes
Rapid Spin
Gyro Ball

Forrestress was a last minute addition to my team I chose him mainly because I was looking to add another wall and I needed a spinner so I gave him evs to be a special wall while giving him entry hazards to add to SR. I read that they all stack so I figured why not. Then I got Gyro Ball for anyone that tries to taunt him.


Galvantula@Choice Specs
Compound Eyes
252SpA/252Spe/4HP
Modest
Thunder
Bug Buzz
Energy Ball
Volt Switch

I dunno something about Galvantula I really like maybe its compound eyes + thunder or the fact that I like spiders. In any case hes my one and only special sweeper on my team I gave him thunder due to compound eyes giving it more accuracy. Volt switch to get away from sticky situations (shadow tag) and to scout. Bug buzz as a generic bug STAB and Energy ball for things i cant zap with thunder. At first I couldn't decide between life orb and choice specs but I went with choice specs due to him having thunder and volt switch.

Scrafty@Life Orb
Moxie
252Atk/252Spe/4HP
Jolly
Dragon Dance
Drain Punch
Crunch
Ice Punch

Scrafty I decided to go with a full out sweeper ev spread instead of a bulky one because I have 3 bulky guys so I gave him jolly plus speed evs and attack evs to try and out speed some threats out there. Get a couple DDs off and punch my way to victory. With an awesome stab like drain punch under his belt plus ice punch for those big bulky dragons out there.

Whimsicott@Leftovers
Prankster
252HP/252Def/4SpD
Bold
Encore
Leech Seed
Substitute
Stun Spore

Whimsicott was actually my friends idea. After looking into him I knew he was the perfect fit. I gave him hp and def evs to bulk him up making him more of a pain. Stun spore to make sure my team can out speed just about any pokemon. Leech Seed and Subs for more healing on top of the leftovers making it one tough cookie to crumble. And of course Encore to lock down my opponent to something that wont do much to him.
