Hey guys, I guess its time to post my first RMT in forever.
This is a very offensive team compared to my 5th gen teams which were very stall based but i wanted to use the new sticky web.
Team At a Glance
(Galvantula) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Compound Eyes
EVs: 4 Hp / 252 Sp Atk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Sticky Web
- Thunder
- Volt Switch
- Bug Buzz
An entry hazard that lowers pokemons speed on entry that is all that needs to be said. No but Galvantula may not be the best electric type in the game (jolteon, manectric, raikou). But Galvantula brings many things that help me, first off is the Sticky Web combined with the high speed, thunder, volt switch, and bug buzz (which now goes through substitutes) galvantula is by no means a garbage pokemon. But that being set aside his main purpose is for sticky web.

(Garchomp) @ Life Orb
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Hp/ 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Dragon Claw
- Stone Edge
This is the centre of my team the core, the sweeper. Despite all the powerful new mega pokemon of this generation whether they be tanky venasaur or powerhouse blaziken garchomp is still a force to be wreckoned with. With a swords dance boost and sticky web support it outruns most non scarfed mons in the meta and 1-2hkos them with EQ. Reasons for not running outrage are because I don't want to be locked in and earthquake is powerful enough as it is.
(Azumaril) @ Leftovers
Ability: huge power
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Belly Drum
- Play Rough
- Super Power
- Aqua Jet
Now I don't always get off a belly drum, but when I do you're going to wish you never met me. That being said azumaril is SUPER powerful with belly drum but, he isn't my sweeper, and his job isn't to belly drum so I am debating running waterfall instead of belly drum and using a choice band as that gives more right off the bat power and has much lower risk of dying and despite the sheer awesomeness of belly drum azumaril, choice band azumaril is nothing to laugh at.
(Mega Gengar) @ Gengarite or whatever
Ability: Leviate / Shadow Tag
EVs: 4 Hp / 252 Sp Atk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Sludge Bomb
- Dazzling Gleam / Focus blast
This is my revenge killer, fairy killer and special power house all in one. Dazzling gleam is run sometimes because my luck is flat out bad, focus blast has a 70% chance to hit but for me its 70% chance to miss. Sludge bomb was taken over slime wave because i like poisoning and 5 BP isnt much.
(Rotom - W) @ Assault vest
Ability: Leviate
EVs: 252 Hp / 230 Def / 24 Sp Atk
Bold Nature
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Hydro Pump
- Dark pulse (hidden power ice on PO)
50 Base HP is bad but this pokemons defense and special defense is nothing to laugh about, rotom walls a good chunk of the pokemon i battle online right now being able to take anything from a blaziken (i know blaziken is banned but), charizard and greninja and 1-2HKO them back. (Mega Blazikens high jump kick is garunteed 2hKo while hydro pump from rotom is garunteed 1HKO) dark pulse is ran on my rotom in game because I cant seem to breed one with HP ice :\.
(Skarmory) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Hp / 80 Def / 176 Sp Def
Impish Nature
- Roost
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
- Brave Bird
Skarmory and Rotom are a great defensive core, now for this team I was debating putting rapid spin excadrill on instead of skarmory but my team doesn\t need rapid spin support so much but i do have a rapid spin excadrill in my box just in came. But skarmorys role is to wall pokemon like garchomp, Dragonite, Scisor, salamance, tyranitar but the special defense EVs are put in to help it survive special threats like Alakazam, Gardevoir, gengars that don\t run tbolt.
Conclusion:
My team does have its flaws for example Venasaur can kind of walk all over my team, I don\t have any fire moves / fire types to deal with him. But I think its pretty well rounded (of course if it was perfect I wouldn't need to make a RMT). So I'd like some help improving my team :), and once again sorry for the sloppy typing and grammar.
