A Psycho RMT

[Psycho707]

;469; Yanmega @ [highlight]Life Orb[/highlight] (replaced expert belt)
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Special Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Nature: Modest (+ Special Attack, - Attack)
Hidden Power (Ice) / Hypnosis
Bug Buzz
Air Slash
Protect

One of my Openers. Protect 1st to get a speed boost, then if something nasty comes, run like the wind. If not, Hit it hard with something.

;196; Espeon @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 196 HP, 122 Special Defense, 192 Speed
Nature: Timid (+ Speed, - Attack)
Calm Mind
Baton Pass
Psychic
Grass Knot

My other starter, and BPer. Hopefully I'll set up some calm minds then either start sweeping or BP to something that can sweep. I'd rather keep this guy in the team if posible, but you can change his moves/stats if it's nessary

;286; Breloom @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, - Special Attack)
Spore
Focus Punch
Seed Bomb
Stone Edge

Probably my Primary physical sweeper. Spore, then focus punch whatever comes. Seed Bomb for more STAB goodness, and stone edge for any birds that try to ruin my party.

;260; Swampert @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP, 56 Attack, 212 Defence
Nature: Impish
Earthquake
Avalanche
Stone Edge
Roar

Standard Bulky Pert.

;395; Empoleon @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Special Defense, 4 Special Attack
Nature: Calm (+ Special Defense, - Attack)
Surf
Ice Beam
Grass Knot
Stealth Rock

Special Wall and stealth rock layer.

;241; Miltank @ Leftovers
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 252 HP, 224 Defense, 32 Speed
Nature: Impish (+ Defense, - Special Attack)
Body Slam
Earthquake
Heal Bell
Milk Drink

(Replaced Lanturn) I needed a physical wall, and Miltank fits quite well. She can heal bell and heal herself while taking the hits, and of cause throwing a few hits back.

This is my first team. I hope I didn't do any big mistakes, and thankyou in advance.

life orb on yanmega.

also some of your threat list is fairly flawed, as a counter has to be able to switch in on a pokemon and kill it/scare it off.

swampert does not counter salamence as draco meteor OHKOs on the switch.

 

[heirokee]

I don't see the logic in two special walls. Also, I don't see any type in particular that you're weak too, but all the water makes me uneasy, and I feel like you have to have at least one major weakness.

 

[Laser Shuckle]

lanturn isn't all that good and you need a physical wall so i would replace him with skarmory.

 

[Psycho707]

To Extrasensory:

One life orb coming up. And i'll try to fix the counter list.

To heirokee:

You noticed I like water types! The two special walls are there because Empoleon can't wall Electric attacks, but Lanturn can volt Absorb them.

To Laser Shuckle:

Yes I probably do need a physical wall, and lanturn does seem the weak link, but if I replace him with skarmory I have 3 pokemon with an electric weekness (I assume that isn't very good). Is Miltank a viable physical wall?

NB: I'll make the changes on the list at the top.

 

[aquasuicune]

Edit your post please. Other than skarmory, tangrowth, gliscor, dusknoir, and cresselia make pretty good physical walls. Miltank and forretress are also good too. Tangrowth can put stuff to sleep, gliscor and dusknoir have good typing, cresselia can take special hits as well, forretress can spike and explode, and miltank can heal bell. Miltank is also the only one of them that has a reliable 50% recovery move. Cresselia doesn't count because moonlight dies to sandstream.
Choose one of them.

 

[Psycho707]

To Aquasuicune:

OK, I added a Miltank, how does she look?

 

[aquasuicune]

Probably go with scrappy for gengar and mismagius.

Do you actually have a yanmega with a good HP ice? If you don't, go with hypnosis.

 

[Psycho707]

To Aquasuicune:

Ok, Scrappy it is. And I haven't got any of these yet, so I'll stick both options up there in case i don't/can't get a good HP ice.

 

[aquasuicune]

Remember not to evolve the yanmega until yanma learns hypnosis.
Also, if you get a great IV'd thick fat miltank, keep it. It will help with the walling.

 

[Psycho707]

Thank you Aquasuicune!

Now to see if I can fix that counter list...

Edit: Ok I had a go with the counter list, How did i do?
