Grass? The type I use multiple Pokemon of every time? The type that gets Leech Seed? I'm back for this! :D I always use 2 or 3 Grass types in game and when I tried the fan game Infinite Fusion I used no Grass types for the sake of not using Grass types. (I used the Dark/Poison Umbreon/Venusaur fusion, Electric/Flying Ampharos/Jumpluff fusion, and Fairy/Psychic Clefable/Exeggutor fusion. My Leech Seed obsession may have made me miss the point I was trying to make. :P)
*checks dex*
Oh. 5 Grass types and the one that should be Grass/Fairy. This is too easy.
*sees Pikachu315111 already did that*
I can still go with 6 Leech Seed users! I should totally do that!
*doesn't do that*
(Later I realized you could use Exeggcute as the 6th and have 6 Pokemon with unique type combos... and also didn't do that. :P)
I usually assume the game's AI is controlling my teams, but this time, I'm assuming an AI that knows what they're doing is in charge. If I didn't, then this could be a very easy opponent... Actually, even with a good AI, this team could struggle against players that know what they're doing and would be the easiest boss if the player happens to have the right Pokemon or the right moves.
Dragalge@Black Sludge
Poison Point
-Toxic Spikes
-Toxic
-Smokescreen
-Protect
If you've read my signature, you know where this is going. It's Status Moves Only and we're starting with Toxic Spikes! That move is worth not leading with a Grass type on a Grass team. Smokescreen punishes Pokemon that setup and encourages switching instead of sweeping. Protect takes advantage of Black Sludge while wasting the precious time the opponent has left if they're poisoned.
Dragalge doesn't learn any Grass moves, but it disguises itself as kelp and a kelp Pokemon would be a Grass type. There's an algae Pokemon that's close enough that it proves my point. (Speaking of, I'm not using Dhelmise because it doesn't learn Leech Seed. Spite made it worth considering though.)
Exeggcute@Eviolite
-Leech Seed
-Sleep Powder
-Synthesis
-Moonlight
Are you immune to Toxic Spikes? Have fun with Sleep Powder. Can't 2HKO Exeggcute? Have fun with Synthesis and Moonlight! Are you immune to Leech Seed and Toxic Spikes? *flips table*
Exeggcute only gains +5 Base Def from evolving into Exeggutor. Unfortunately, Exeggcute's Special Bulk is a little worse than Exeggutor's, even with Eviolite. I'm still going with it because it's the Grass/Psychic you can have in Alola (Unless you leave the universe to evolve it in Ultra Space, but most people don't have that option. :P) and I like using Eviolite. I could've had just one healing move and Protect, but having both is like choosing double PP over a moveslot and something about having both felt funnier.
I'm not going to explain why everyone has Leech Seed and a recovery move because it's the same reason every time. Leech Seed drains the opponent while healing the user (or whoever took the user's place after a switch) and recovery moves are needed for stall.
Tropius@Mago Berry
Harvest
-Leech Seed
-Roost
-Toxic
-Protect
Healing Berry + Harvest = Free Healing. The Mago Berry heals half the holder's HP in Gen 7, (only Gen 7) so it has the potential to heal way more than Leftovers! As a bonus, I wanted every Pokemon has a unique item and having a reusable Mago Berry was like a third Leftovers. That's awesome because there's not many good defensive items. There's Leftovers, Poison Leftovers, Health Berries, Eviolite and... Rocky Helmet? (Let's not talk about Bright Powder. Only horrible people lower Accuracy and raise Evasion. No, I'm not being a hypocrite. I'm proud of being a horrible person with this team!)
Toxic is to punish setup Pokemon that aren't affected by Leech Seed and weren't affected by Toxic Spikes, which is worth considering in case Dragalge isn't able to use it. It was either Toxic or Whirlwind to deal with setup Pokemon and Whirlwind has anti-synergy with Leech Seed. Protect is to get a little more healing out of Leech Seed, more chances for Harvest to get the berry back, and wastes one of the opponent's limited turns if they try to attack.
Side note: The choice of which of the berries that heal the user but confuses them if they don't like the flavor was to use was the one that looked most like a bannana.
Whimsicott@Leftovers
Infiltrator
-Leech Seed
-Swagger
-Cotton Guard
-Synthesis
When all else fail, use confusion and pray. Swagger raising Atk makes confusion deal enough damage to actually do something when it needs to do something and Cotton Guard lets Whimsicott take boosted hits. Infiltrator is used to get past Substitute and Safeguard and doesn't have Prankster's downside of making Dark types immune to anything Whimsicott can do.
Warning in case you want to try using confusion: Confuse Ray is likely to do nothing due to giving a 1/3 chance to do something for 1-3 turns. I don't know what's worse, that Confuse Ray is a TM or that I've used that TM... I'm so thankful for Swagger's buff making confusion hurt enough to be tolerable.
Alolan Exeggutor@Leppa Berry
Harvest
-Light Screen
-Curse
-Double Team
-Synthesis
Harvest + Leppa Berry = Infinite PP
I've tortured the game's AI by spamming Recycle until they run out of PP. Morpeko takes over half an hour. It's fun. Now it's your turn to have fun! >:D
Curse boosts Def and Light Screen is as close to a SpD boosting move as Exeggutor gets because it's one of the few Psychic types (or former Psychic types in Alolan Exeggutor's case) that doesn't learn Calm Mind. Double Team makes up for not being able to get SpD to +6, but it's mostly just to be more evil and it shows that you can be soul crushing without needing the power to OHKO an entire team. Leech Seed would probably be better than Double Team, but Toxic Spikes and Leech Seed not working against everyone is a good enough reason to be pure evil.
I would have made Exeggutor the last Pokemon on the team because I think it's the best team member, but it doesn't haev a Z Crystal and Pokemon with Z Crystals are always the last one in team order.
Lilligant@Grassium-Z
Own Tempo
-Aromatherapy
-Leech Seed
-Toxic
-Synthesis
I need a Z Move user because it's Gen 7, but... Z Status Moves kind of suck unless they're omniboost moves like Z-Conversion. I did the best I could though. Z-Aromathropy healing the user made it seem not bad and Z-Leech Seed and Z-Synthesis reset the user's stats if they were lowered, made it better because of there being options.
Toxic is used in case of Flying types (if they're not OHKOing this team...) or if Toxic Spikes gets removed. The alternatives are Protect and Teeter Dance, which is just version of Confuse Ray that's made for Doubles. Protect might be better than Toxic, but I like not relying on Toxic Spikes too much and not having anything that affects Grass types would make her feel like the weakest link.
I'm assuming the AI controlling this team won't always save the Z-Move user for last and will switch if it needs to, so Aromatherapy would let Lilligant heal the team instead of just herself.
I'm a bit self conscious about this team because I really want to to be good, but I think it'd suck against a lot of players... I know it's good against AI though. Anyway, have fun with Leech Seed. I know I will... unless we're having even more fun with Exeggutor. >:D
