Hi, here's the team I've been using recently. I need to replace Gastrodon with some kind of hard hitting setup sweeper, possibly mega. Not sure what can help. Right now I just play smart, and Jake the Dog (Arcanine) is the MVP followed by Starraptor. My strategy, I don't have a fixed lead, I just kind of try to predict what the opponent will do but more often then not the lead is Starraptor, Mamoswine or Rotom.
YOLO BURD (Staraptor) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Reckless
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- U-turn
- Close Combat
- Double-Edge
This thing just hits like truck. Great wallbreaker/revenge killer
YOU THE MAN NOW DAWG (Gastrodon) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Storm Drain
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
- Scald
- Toxic
- Earthquake
- Recover
I hate Talonflame and this thing switches in and murders it.
ELECTRICITARDATION (Rotom-Mow) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 220 Spd / 36 SAtk / 252 HP
Serious Nature
IVs: 30 Atk / 30 Def
- Volt Switch
- Trick
- Thunder Wave
- Leaf Storm
This guy is brilliant, not alot needs to be said about him. I refuse to use Rotom-W because of years of being annoyed by it but Im happy with Rotom Mow even though they're nearly the same.
THE GREAT CATSBY (Espeon) @ Light Clay
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spd / 4 Def
Timid Nature
- Light Screen
- Reflect
- Psychic
- Dazzling Gleam
One of my favorite pokemons of all time, Im not sure if his magic bounce is too predictable vs top players but still its a good deterent to play mind games with.
JAKE THE DOG (Arcanine) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 8 SDef / 248 HP / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Extreme Speed
- Morning Sun
- Will-O-Wisp
The true hero of the team, it can tank hits, cripple attackers, revenge kill and brawl. Arcanine is amazing in this meta. One of the best pokemon ever.
GARY PHUCKING OAK (Mamoswine) (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
This guy was always amazing but in the current meta he is better then before. Stone Edge is to destroy Talonflame. I hate that thing!
So basically all I feel like is I need a setup sweeper to replace Gastrodon with some different typings from what I have and the team should be complete, as right now the team is too reliant on Arcanine, Starraptor and Mamo to do most of the killing. I can't really say a strategy other then I try to be versatile and unpredictable, and predict the opponent and play lots of mind games. If anyone can suggest a mega they think would work well in Gastrodons place, it would be appreciated because I am stumped, I used to use Mega Banette but it just isnt that good, as hard as I tried to make it work.
