Scraggy is the Bo$$ (Peaked 3#)

[MyNickanme]

First I want to say that English isn't my main language so sorry if I don't talk correctly ^^U I hope Google Translator do a good job xD

So this is my team and I show to you because I need help to do a solid team and I want to use it to battle with my friends and obviously I want to win :P

All you help is appreciate.

Scraggy is the Bo$$​

Team Building Process​

I want to start with Scraggy, one of my favorite Pokemons and Misdreavus is his partner doing a good offensive core. Mienfoo with Choice Scarf and Regenerator is the best revenge killer that I use. Koffing walls fighting types and is my hazer with Clear Smog and has Levitate to wall SS teams (specially Drillbur). Ferroseed come to put the SR, wall many Pokemon with is resistences and stop the dangerous Shell Smashers. The last Pokemon is Chinchou, but I don't remember why I put in my team. It's my only that resists Fire and has two good stabs. If i change Chinchou I think Munchlax or Porygon are good. Munchlax resists Fire and does a good defensive core with Koffing but Porygon has a good ability and is a good special attacker... well, I have many doubts, I hope you can advise me.

Closer Look​

Mienfoo (F) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 236 Atk / 36 Def / 236 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Hi Jump Kick
- Stone Edge
- Drain Punch
- U-turn

Not munch to say. It's my scarfer and with 25 of speed and HJK in the lategame without Ghosts or bug/flying/poision is a beast. Stone Edge for flying and bugs, drain punch is more safe than HJK and I can recover HP and U-turn hits Psychics hard with hit and run to recover life with Regenerator.

Koffing (F) @ Eviolite
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 196 HP / 76 Def / 236 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Clear Smog
- Pain Split
- Will-O-Wisp
- Sludge Bomb

My fighting wall. Walls Croagunk, Mienfoo and can win DDScraggy if have Zen Headbutt with WoW + Clear Smog and Pain Split to recover. Normally I win if Koffing has the full of his HP. Levitate does Koffing a good counter of SS teams. The EVs are the standard, but I'm not convinced. I think need more physicall defense.

Chinchou (M) @ Eviolite
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 52 Def / 232 SAtk / 224 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Hidden Power [Fire]

Thunderbolt and Hydropump are my Stabs, Volt Switch is for hit and run. HP Fire does ~70% to Ferroseed. It's fast, powerfull and bulky. And the only special sweeper barring Misdreavus.
I want to change it but I don't know for who. (Munchlax?Porygon?Other?None?)

Ferroseed (F) @ Eviolite
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 84 HP / 40 Atk / 188 Def / 148 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Stealth Rock
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Seed Bomb

It puts the rocks and wall waters like Chinchou or Staryu (no HP Fire). Leech Seed helps me to recover and in a metagame of eviolites the rival lost 12% is'nt good for he. And Iron Barbs and protect stall more the rival. Seed Bomb over Bullet Seed because 3 hits has 75 BP and Seed Bomb has 80 and is more safe. And I don't see much Substitutes (Murkrow but I don't break his substitute). Over Gyro Ball too because I want to wall waters.

Misdreavus (M) @ Eviolite
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 244 SAtk / 244 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Nasty Plot
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Will-O-Wisp

It's cute but powerfull. With NP has 36 of Special Attack and much speed (19) Murkow and Stunky recieve a wow in the switch or if uses Sucker Punch (Croagunk too) i burn it. It's too a good HJK switch. And has a perfect coverage.

SCRAGGY (M) @ Eviolite
Trait: Moxie
EVs: 116 HP / 76 Atk / 36 Def / 36 SDef / 212 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Hi Jump Kick
- Crunch
- Zen Headbutt

Is a best. With 1 DD has 22 of speed and attack. It's outspeed for Scarf Mienfoo, Chinchou, Doduo/Taillow... but without this pokemon Scraggy f*ck you. HJK over Drain Punch because I need 0HKOs and Drain Punch has'nt the power of HJK. Crunch is used to Psychics and Ghosts and Zen Headbutt is for Croagunk and Koffing. Before I use this EV spread: 236 Atk / 36 Def / 212 Spd, but I need more bulk than power (specially for Vacumm Wave Croagunk)
If you think shed skin is better than moxie say me why.

Hey there, if you think that Chinchou isn't pulling it's weight, then may I suggest a RestTalk set:

Chinchou (M) @ EvioliteTrait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 76 HP / 132 Def / 228 SDef / 60 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Scald
- Heal Bell
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

It can serve as a much better check to MixKrow, who can outspeed and do serious damage to a lot of your pokemon. (whilst it can't do much to Koffing, Koffing can't do a lot back either and with Misdreavus it will turn into sucker punch mind games, but Murkrow still 2HKO's even with a burn.) With the given EV's Murkrow can't 2HKO Chinchou with Hidden Power Grass. You could also use Discharge or Thunderbolt if you preferred, it's up to you really.

^this might not be the best advice, I'm not the best team rater, but I'd still recommend giving it a try.

 

[MyNickanme]

I used RestTalk Chinchou and is better than the bulky sweeper. It works well. But I use Disharge, not Heal Bell. Thank You!

I changed Ferroseed to Porygon.

 

[Ray Jay]

Shed Skin is better than Moxie as otherwise, Scraggy can't reliably check Bronzor or Shroomish.

 

[MyNickanme]

I can't stop Omanyte Shell Smasher. I think to use Croagunk because I need priority and change mienfoo. And use scarf chinchou. What do you think?

 

[Trakyan]

Hold on, on what planet is munchlax a special sweeper?! and as personal preference for power i would use surf>hydro pump since that one miss is a thorn in t he side. Scald for a defensive set though due to the nice 30% burn rate we all hate. I would also personally put those defense evs in HP for better general bulk, the EVs also look like they are meant for a scarf...

missdrevous would have trouble against sub krow if im not mistaken so WoWing it wont work while scarf variants will hits you hard.

your asking why shed skin is better than moxie?
"Missdrevous used Will-O-Wisp"
and that my friend is the story of how scraggy became useless for the rest of the match, also paralysis from a stray dischrage on those restalking chinchou, a body slam perhaps and what not else. Main reason is the burn which halves your attack. (Btw, dont most teams have scarfoo?)

overall i see a slight weakness to psychic, a weakness to a flying type which you have nothing to resist it while it hits two pokemon super effectively, guts tailow could work very nicely with scarf, switch into that lovely WoW from missy and spam the apropriate attack while switching out once or twice to change attacks. Overall no gaping flaws. Just some spelling/grammer issues but that hardly counts
