Ok, this is my first RMT, so I hope I get this right. Im trying to use this at a friendly tourney by VGC rules next week, so any help would be appreciated. All this is in game, so saying HP [whatever] will be close to impossible as I dont RNG. Assume the 252 Stats are 31 IV unless specified I guess
Whimsicott @ Heat Rock
Prankster
Jolly; 252 HP/ 4 Def / 252 Spd
- Beat Up
- Taunt
- Sunny Day
- Protect
As you can probably tell by Beat up there is a Terrakion on this team. I know Timid is better, but it took 50+ eggs just to get the combination of Prankster, Jolly, and the 31 HP, Spd and Def IVs down, I took what I could get. Depending on who I make lead, either Terrakion or Volcarona, that changes my first move from Beat Up to Sunny Day, and Protect is for stall I guess. Running max spd because as much as people say it isnt happening, I get this sinking feeling there are actually Whimsicott out there that do invest in Spd
Terrakion @ Choice Scarf
Justified
Serious; 210 HP / 252 Atk / 48 Spd
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- X-Scissor/Rock Slide
- Close Combat
This Terrakion was blessed with semi-Alright IVs at the cost of his nature. 28 Atk, however he only has 6 Spd, but his defenses are above 20 which is okay.This set-up + the scarf ensures puts him at 1 spd lower than my whimsicott, so he hits his attack of choice immediately after getting beat up. I usually go with Rock Slide, but I will X Scissor if I see Reuniclus or Musharna, whether Amonguss is out or not. I switch back and forth with Aerial Ace depending on who Im fighting, since its mostly people I know at this tourney. Im leaning towards Aerial Ace once moves are set though because I have two others who can use Bug
Volcarona @ Focus Sash
Flame Body (Oh how I wish I had swarm)
Timid ; 4 HP / 252 Sp. Atk / 252 Spd
- Heat Wave / Flamethrower
- Bug Buzz
- Protect
- Rage Powder
This is the standard Volcarona, but it works very well, especially under the sun. Heat Wave has encountered a few Flash Fire Chandelure, though, which is why Im considering Flamethrower, just to avoid that whole ordeal.
Leavanny @ Grass Jewel
Chlorophyll
Jolly; 164 HP / 252 Atk / 92 Spd
- Swords Dance
- X-Scissor
- Leaf Blade
- Protect / Aerial Ace / Return
This one... I couldnt think of anything, so this is likely one of the weakest parts of my team. I run 92 Spd, because from there, if the sun is out, not even Scarfed Scolipede (though to be fair Ive never seen one) can out speed me and I could get Aerial Ace in. I wont even try Sword Dance unless Volcarona is out and at full health to Rage, so Im debating re breeding this with an Adamant Nature, and adjusting EVs accordingly to hit 136 Spd.
That about covers it, but since the tourney is 'Bring 6 choose 4' Im not sure what should go in. Im thinking bring a Musharna to bluff Trick Room since Team Preview will be active. I still need another filler, and If you guys see something that can replace Leavanny, please Im open to all (doable) suggestions. Right now Im leaning towards a Jellicent for those teams Im 99% sure that I cant get Sunny Day up on (Sandstorm basically) or a Darmanitan, cuz that think hits like a truck and is semi useful in Trick Room if that ends up happening. Reason he isnt in now is because Im tired of getting wrecked by anything with Surf, and I needed a Grass and Leavanny beat out Lilligant in my head, just cant remember why.
Any help appreciated, thank you very much
