This is my first shot at building a team ever.
Currently, team is as follows:
Zapdos @ leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 Special Att / 252 Speed / 4 Special Def
Timid Nature
- thunderbolt
- Froost
- hidden power ice
- heat wave
My main special sweeper for this team. When i am able to get a clean switch into this, basically any pokemon that switches in almost cannot take a STAB thunderbolt well except for super defensive bulky pokemons.
Blastoise @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 Special Def
Bold Nature
- roar
- toxic
- scald
- ice beam
My rapid spinner. can take hits from rock/fighting/ground types that may threanten zapdos and darmanitan. Lures out grass types for my darmanitan. Roar allows opponents from setting up as my main offensive pokemons do not have the best defense stats. Toxic allows me to stall out super bulky water pokemons so that zapdos on the right opportunity can switch in and along with shaymin.
Darmanitan @ Leftovers
Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 attack / 252 speed / 4 special defence
Adamant Nature
- flare blitz
- superpower
- u turn
- earthquake
My main physical sweeper. This thing practically OHKO anything. Lures water types out for zapdos. Gerenally outspeeds most pokemons except for a choice scard flygon unless its not max EV in speed and scarf nidoking. Both can be target by zapdos hidden power ice. With effectts of burn on a flygon zapdos is able to switch in safely and not get 2HKO by outrage.
Cobalion @ Leftovers
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 Special Def / 252 defence / 4 hp
Careful Nature
- stealth rock
- thunder wave
- roar
- close combat
Deals with the annoying snorlax and umbreon walls. My utility pokemon with stealth rocks. Thunderwave occassionaly gives the hax for safe switches in for my sweepers. Roar allows for pokemon to not setup on my coballion as it only has 1 attack.
Cofagrigus @ Leftovers
Trait: Mummy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Special Def / 4 Def
Calm Nature
- shadow ball
- calm mind
- pain split
- wil o wisp
My mixed wall. Used to cripple physical attackers that may harm my zapdos. Have some fighting and normal resistance along with spin blocker. Checks threats against ambipom.
shaymin @ Leftovers
Trait: natural cure
EVs: 252 special attack / 252 special def / 4 hp
Modest Nature
- seed flare
- leech seed
- substitute
- hidden power fire
Use this to scout for a bit, along with the sub-seed which most often causes my opponent to switch. Hidden power hits roserade fairly well. Could say that shaymin makes up the 3 pokemon core with darmanitan and blastoise.
Currently i face problems against an occasional flygon(if my cofagrigus isnt up to face it), chandellure, and yamenga. However is still am not winning very often =(
