~Team Claydol~
Introduction
Hey, I'm new to the World of Under Used Pokemon, and this is my attempt for a first Team!
Team at a Glance
A Closer Look
The Support Lead
Claydol @ Light Clay
Nature-Careful (+Sp.D, -Sp.A)
Ability-:Levitate
EV's-252 HP/80 Def/176 Sp.D
-Light Screen
-Reflect
-Stealth Rock
-Explosion
Claydol, he IS my team. With his bulk, he can easily set up Stealth Rocks, then support my team with an 8 turn reflect and light screen, he then explosions and hopefully kills the opposing lead. Claydol is the only reason my team can win, with his support my mismagius can set up calm minds while taking hits like a sponge, or so can my feraligatr or Hariyama. He is the Heart of my team. Ambipom barely makes a dent in this guy, and Absol sits there confused of why he cant do any damage to me. He's absolutely the perfect lead for my team.
Boosting Sweeper #1
Feraligatr @ Leftovers
Nature-Adamant (+Atk, -Sp.A)
Ability-Torrent
EV's-28 HP/252 Atk/228 Spe
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Ice Punch
-Earthquake/Dragon Claw
Feraligatr is my more offensive sweeper, instead of boosting atk/def, he raises atk/speed. he doesnt take hits as well after the 8 turn shields, but he hits like a beast. My favorite Sweeper of my team, that has won the match for me many times. Although, i can't quite decide between EQ and Dragon Claw. When i use EQ kingdra and and some other select pokemon wall my very well, but when i use Dragon Claw, Kingdra is dead meat but Registeel/Regirock wall me completely.
Boosting Sweeper #2
Mismagius @ Leftovers
Nature-Timid (+Speed, -Atk)
Ability-Levitate
EV's-48 HP/252 Spe/208 Sp.Atk
-Substitute
-Calm Mind
-Shadow Ball
-HP Fighting
Mismagius is a vital part of my team. He gives me a immunity to Status while having excellent speed/coverage. He outruns all 100 Base Speed pokemon (non boosted) and Shadow Ball and HP Fighting hit at least neutral to everything. He is a more defensive approach of my sweeping and helps my team out tremendously. He also provides a ground, normal, and fighting immunity.
Boosting Sweeper #3
Hariyama @ Leftovers
Nature-Careful (+Sp.D, -Sp.A)
Ability-Thick Fat
EV's-112 HP/140 Def/4 Spe/252 Sp.D
-Bulk Up
-Force Palm
-Payback
-Rest
Hariyama is a full out defensive Sweeper. Got a burn? No problem, behind light screen, and with some Bulk Ups, i can stay in rest for 8 turns and live. With my EV set i can take a hit from anything and live. He is my most reliable sweeper, but Yanmega can really mess him up. I really make sure Yanmegas are out of the picture before i send this fat guy out. He also has great coverage hitting ghosts for super effective as well as many other things w/ force palm, paralyzing things as he goes along. I love my fat sweeper...
Stellix @ Leftovers
Nature-Sassy (+Sp.D, -Spe)
Ability-Sturdy
EV'S-252 HP/4 Atk/252 Sp.D
(0 Speed IV's)
-Earthquake
-Gyro Ball
-ROAR
-Explosion
Steelix is awesome. he is sturdy enough to roar away his counters and easily scout the opposing team, and when i successfully scouted, and am at low health, explosion your pain away. Also, with his 58 speed, STAB gyro ball you dont need Attack EVs to kill foes. Steelix is a very successful wall on my team.
My Sweeper Stopper
Weezing @ Leftovers
Nature-Bold
Ability-Levitate
EV's-252 HP/252 Def/4 Sp.Atk
-Haze
-Flamethrower
-Lightning Bolt
-Pain Split
Weezing is what sometimes saves my team. For example, if a mismagius happens to get 6 CMs in, Haze it up, all his work for nothing and wreck him with Flamethrower or lightning bolt. Weezing has to be my #1 Game saver. I can't count how many times iv'e made people rage quit or just lose from haze. He is the most valuable member of my team.
Conclusion
Hope you liked the team! I put a good week or two into it, and I would like to see all your ratings, criticism, whatever your opinion is of my team. Thanks and goodbye!
