Sun Team for Battle Maison

Kailose · Nov 10, 2013

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this!

Would this be an okay sun team for the Battle Maison, in doubles? I'm not that great at competitive battling, but I thought I'd try out the Battle Maison.

This is for doubles, so I can only have four pokemon.

~~~~~~~~~~

Charizard @ CharizarditeY

Drought

Timid

EVs: 252 SPA/ 252 Speed/ 4HP

Fire Blast

Solar Beam

Focus Blast/Dragon Pulse

Air Slash/Roost

MegaChar Y would set up sun with drought. It would then work as a special sweeper, using Fire Blast, Solar Beam, and Focus Blast / Dragon Pulse. I can't decide which one I'd pick though - Focus Blast or Dragon Pulse? I'm leaning on Dragon Pulse because Char has no moves to use against dragon types. I'm not sure whether I'd pick Air Slash or Roost either - Blissey could heal Char with heal pulse, but would it be worth wasting a turn to get it into battle and then switch it out with Leafeon again?

~~~~~~~~~~

Leafeon @ Life Orb

Chlorophyll

Jolly / Adamant

EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe

Aerial Ace

Leaf Blade

Return

Substitute

Leafeon is the physical attacker. Substitute, then sweep. Aerial ace in case of any fighting types since none have any moves against fighting types. Return is just in case of any other pokemon like fairy types or anything that return can hit hard on. I'll leave steel-types to Char and Salamence.

~~~~~~~~~~

Salamence @ Life Orb

Intimidate

Naive

EVs: 100 Atk / 176 SpA / 232 Spe

-Draco Meteor / Dragon Pulse

-Fire Blast

-Brick Break / Earthquake

-Roost

MixMence is there just in case Leaf or Char faint - it can take the spot of either. Roost in case it is low on HP, because I wouldn't want it to faint and be left with only Blissey. Again, I can't decide on Draco Meteor or Dragon Pulse, but I'm leaning on Pulse because I don't want it's SpA to lower too much.

~~~~~~~~~~

Blissey @ Leftovers

Natural Cure

4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD

Calm

-Softboiled / Heal Bell

-Heal Pulse

-Toxic

-Flamethrower

Blissey is, well, obviously the special wall. She'd just go in to either heal pulse or stall. Flamethrower in case it gets stuck with a steel type she can't use toxic on.

~~~~~~~~~~

tl:dr - The plan was to send out MegaChar Y (special sweeper) and Leafeon (physical sweeper), and just sweep. MegaChar has drought to set up sun, Leafeon has chlorophyll. Mixmence is in for back-up, ready to take either's place. Then if anyone needs to be healed, blissey comes in and uses heal pulse / heal bell.

Any suggestions? I can change the pokemon as I haven't bred them yet.

I'd really appreciate some help c:

hey, I'd have at least 3 lines of description for all pokemon otherwise the mods will lock this...

But anyway, since this is a double battle, I'd definitely reccommend more spread moves. Run heat wave on zard and timid nature.
Ehh, I'd run sawsbuck over leafeon because it can more types for neutral damage, because it gets Jump kick.
In general I would not use set-up moves like swords dance in doubles because the battles are shorter.
I would running protect on some of them so if the enemies double team it your other pokemon gets a free hit.

Also, you might want to test this team on pokemon showdown before you ask for people to rate this team.

Fixed, thanks for the heads-up!
Should I change Fireblast to Heat Wave on Char?
I see what you mean on the Leafeon to Sawsbuck part, but I don't think I can get Sawsbuck on X or Y yet. At least, I'm pretty sure you can't.
I got rid of Swords Dance on Leafeon, who should I run protect on? I'm thinking of replacing Substitute on Leaf with protect... Would that work?

Yes change Fire Blast for heat wave.
You can get sawsbuck from the friend safari, but if you can't get one then w/e
I think u should teach leaf protect instead of sub, and teach it also to salamence instead of roost. In my experience, you never have time to use healing moves in double battles.

Good luck!
