Hey there, I'm about to build a team for my first competition for beginners of a regional European forum. I started to read about competitive battling a few months ago so I'm still far from being an expert and my team still has some major flaws.
So here it is:
THE BEAUTIES
Florges @ Leftovers
Ability: Flower Veil
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature
- Wish
- Protect
- Aromatherapy
- Moonblast
I built my team around this beauty. I know Sylveon is a slightly better wish passer but I kind of have a special relationship with her and she does her job really well. I might consider replacing her with Eviolite Chansey if Chansey with Wish is allowed but otherwise I would like to keep Florges in my team. I gave her some physical bulk to better resist fighting Pokémon, the rest should be clear.
Milotic @ Leftovers
Ability: Marvel Scale
EVs: 252 HP / 100 Def / 156 SDef
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Recover
- Haze
Haze as a surprise move for boosters that otherwise would give my team a hard time. Since it takes away an attack slot I decided against a Sleep Talk set and went for Recover instead.
THE BEASTS
Aggron @ Aggronite
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Spd
Careful Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Iron Head
- Earthquake
- Power-Up Punch
Florges fears poison and steal attacks, which Mega-Aggron doesn't care about at all. Plus Thunder Wave cripples the enemy and increases the chance for Florges to pass her wishes to her teammates. Power-Up Punch for some Power since all EVs were used to increase the kind of low special defense and to outspeed other 50 base-speed Pokémon. Iron Head as a strong STAB and Earthquake as a strong attack for neutral coverage.
Heatran @ Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 176 Def / 80 SDef
Bold Nature
- Fire Blast
- Taunt
- Will-O-Wisp
- Stealth Rock
I want some hazards! Taunt and Will-O-Wisp to cripple enemies, Fire Blast to do some damage. I gave it an Air Ballon because of its great weakness to Earthquake, while the enemy is busy destroying the ballon I can burn him and make it safer for my other members to switch.
I thought of giving it a few Speed IVs to outspeed Mega-Venusaur and can taunt it before it can use Leach Seed because Heatran is my only Pokémon that can safely check it, what do you think?
Mandibuzz @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 252 HP / 108 Def / 148 SDef
Impish Nature
- Knock Off
- Toxic
- Defog
- Roost
My defogger to get rid of annoying entry hazards, of course I always have to bear in mind that I will remove my own Stealth Rocks as well. Knock Off to weaken almost everything that's not a Mega-Pokémon or Gliscor. The Toxic/Rocky Helmet/Defog combination to passively beat or at least weaken the enemy.
Landorus @ Leftovers
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs:4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Stone Edge
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- U-turn
Looking at my team I found that Heatran and Aggron had a ground weakness while Milotic and Mandibuzz will get problems with electric attacks so I picked Landorus as my last team member to be immune to both types. I chose the incarnate form over the therian form to have more speed, Swords Dance to handle Aegislash's King Shield and U-turn to switch and cause some extra damage.
Main problem:
Bulky water Pokémon. I have no attack that hits water Pokémon effectively, I can't even OHKO Greninja (except from when someone used Dark Pulse against my Florges...). I could replace Milotic with Rotom-W but then I would still have problems with Water/Ground types like Quagsire and Gastrodon. The only plant Pokémon I like playing so far is Mega-Venusur but I don't really want to let go of Aggron. Any other suggestions how I could get rid of this problem?
So here it is:
