Hello I am a new member here on smogon and This is my first VGC team I have made for RMT. I will try the best to tell you a descriptive introduction on each one. So without further ado lets look at my team.
Gandalf (Alakazam) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Focus Blast
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball
This pokemon is as you can see in the EVs is a special sweeper. I gave it a life orb for extra power on all its moves so it can it harder and thanks to it ability magic guard it won't take any damage after attacking. With shadow ball Alakazam can hit pretty hard on both Latios and Latias and with energy ball it can KO a Gastrodon and a Quagsire without a rindo berry.Psychic is for damage to no guard Machamp and hitmontop without suckerpunch.
Darmanitan (F) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Rock Slide
- Superpower
- Earthquake
Now this is the other sweeper,its a physical sweeper for pokemon that Alakazam can't take out with any of his moves. Flare blitz is for cizor, Metagross, and pokemon that don't resist this move that can't take one of these. Superpower is for Tyranitar and Blissey or Chansey. It's holding a focus sash for defense and if he goes against rain teams.
Gastrodon (M) @ Rindo Berry
Trait: Storm Drain
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Earth Power
- Ice Beam
- Muddy Water
- Recover
Now this is the rain stopper of my team. This Gastrodon has storm drain to block surf and muddy water from Kingdra and Politoed. I used a special defense one to survive draco meteor and an energy ball from special attackers. To stall a little bit I gave it recover to restore some HP. It holds a rindo berry to give it basically no weaknesses.
Cresselia (F) @ Colbur Berry
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Ice Beam
- Psychic
- Icy Wind
- Signal Beam
This is my stat dropper and wall for anything. Cresselia uses icy wind for Latios to bring down its speed then use ice beam to do major damage. Psychic is for STAB and to do damage to fighting types. It holds colbur berry to weaken Hitmontops sucker punch and Weaviles night slash.
Scrafty (M) @ Fighting Gem
Trait: Moxie
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Hi Jump Kick
- Drain Punch
- Fake Out
- Crunch
This Scrafty is used as fake out support on sand teams and rain teams. It uses fake out on sand rush Excadrill then with drain punch it KO'es excadrill and uses it moxie ability to set up freely then go form there. Crunch is given to him to hit Cresselia hard.
Thundurus (M) @ Electric Gem
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Focus Blast
- Thunder Wave
- Thunderbolt
- Dark Pulse
Thundurus is the final pokemon on my team and is the paralyze maker. I use it's ability to the fullest with thunder wave and hit rain teams with thunderbolt. Thunder wave is to stop Laitos, Kingdra, and Cresselia with paralysis and lower their speed very low so my sweeper of Scrafty can do damage or set up.
That is my VGC team in a nutshell and I how you can make alot of changes to help me and my team it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for helping me in advance.
