Hey yall I haven't posted any teams in a while and thought I would share my latest team.
Alakazam @ Focus Sash
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Focus Blast
- Psyshock
- Grass Knot
- Hidden Power [Ice]
I wanted to build around alakazam a pokemon that is a one time check to a lot of dangerous mons. The ev's are pretty standard focus blast for the steel and dark types. Grass knot to ohko swampert and mamoswine. Hidden power ice is to ohko Salamence and pick off weakened hydreigon/ Krookodile so I dont have to risk focus blast.
Accelgor @ Focus Sash
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Spikes
- Bug Buzz
- Final Gambit
- Encore
Alakazam misses KO power so it really appreciates some spike support. Accelgor is the most reliable spike setter imo and also beats magic bouncers like espeon and absol. Bug buzz for stab. Final gambit to prevent defoq/rapid spin and take out a threat. Encore is to lock enemies into setup moves.
Darmanitan @ Salac Berry
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Belly Drum
- Substitute
- Superpower
I really like the idea of misdirection so here is a belly drum darmanitan. +6 flare blitz basically kills everthing. The idea is set up spikes. force in swampert/ suicune while you belly drum up and kill them with flare blitz. activating your salacberry. This mon does nothing vs chandelure so get rid of it before trying to set up. Sub is to activate salac after a belly drum. and also get another kill vs sucker punch users.
Aerodactyl-Mega @ Aerodactylite
Ability: Unnerve
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Pursuit
- Stone Edge
- Fire Fang
- Earthquake
Sinds I needed chandelure gone I decided to add the best trapper in uu. Aero can reliably get rid of chandelure so Darmanitan can sweep. I decided to run edge quake for all the coverage. And because this team does not like bulky steels like forretress/escalavier. I added fire fang to reck there world, opening a door for my next mon.
Gyarados @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Substitute
- Waterfall
- Bounce
Sub dd gyarados man this thing is a beast. get a sub win the game. the way this team is made is so gyarados gets a sweep lategame. Because darmanitan can get rid of pert/suicune. 2 potent roars who would faze out Gyarados. Gyarados can then more reliably get up a sub and hurt people their soul.l waterfall for stab and bounce for the plethera of dragons in the tier who otherwise wall you. Also on the bounce you get some sweet lefties hp.
Mamoswine @ Assault Vest
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Knock Off
- Icicle Crash
With the strategie set the team needed a ground resist. I decided on AV mamoswine. Taking one hit from chandelure/ heliolisk is pretty cool. Knock off gives nice utility to remove some bulky mons there item. also taking some scalds a lot better so I can damage more before fainting. The moveset is fairly standard only difference is a slapped on assault vest.
Thanks for reading I kept it pretty short. Feel free to leave a rate.
Threat list:
sableye this thing 6-0's if gyara does not get a sub
Sharpedo also 6-0's if my alakazam sash is broken
