First Team

N3vermore

New Member
Figured i might as well try my hand at making a competitive team for D/P because of the online mode.
But i'm also kinda new at it, so i'm thinking it could be better, but here's what i have down for a team i think will do pretty well.

;142; Aerodactyl w/ King's Rock
Jolly; Pressure
EVs: Speed: 255, Attack: 255
Ice Fang
Crunch
Rock Slide
Earthquake

Fast Physical Beater. Ice Fang to take care of Dragons, other Aeros, and T-tar. Wing Attack is for Grass and bugs, RS and E-Quake are kinda staples imo. Between Rock Head and Pressure, I chose pressure because there are no Recoil attacks.

;448; Lucario w/ Expert Belt
Modest; Inner Focus
EVs: Speed: 255; Spec. Attack: 255
Dragon Pulse
Aura Sphere
Water Pulse
Psychic

Spec. Sweeper raised to go fast, probably should be a mixed though (no clue what to replace with what though...) Dragon Pulse can hurt dragons, Aura Sphere is a STAB attack, Water Pulse can really hurt T-Tar, and Psychic can be good for other fighters and a few others. Inner Focus to keep from Flinching at all.

;242; Blissy w/ Leftovers
Calm; Serene Grace
EVs: HP: 255; Spec. Def: 100; Def: 155
Softboiled
Substitute
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam

Bolt-Beam Blissy, pretty standard, and it's worth noting that Serene Grace can be a bit more annoying with Bolt-Beam. My major defense against a spec. sweeper.

;359;Absol w/ Scope Lense
Adamant; Super Luck
EVs: Speed: 255; Attack: 255
Night Slash
Zen Headbutt
Rock Slide
Return

Do people use Absol much? i haven't heard, and i'm sure 130 base attack + Increased crit + scope lense (If it stacks) will be quite powerful. Night Slash can melt psychics, while Zen Headbutt can take care of any fighting types that appear, and can deal some good damage to a multitude of other types. Rock Slide is quite strong and Return can cause some damage.

;038;Ninetails w/ Wisdom Glasses
Modest; Flash Fire
EVs: Speed: 255; Spec. Attack: 255
Flamethrower
Energy Ball
Extrasensory
Dark Pulse

Special Sweeper. Flamethrower is anti-Skarmory and Metagross tech, Energy Ball is there to catch Water-Types off guard. Extrasensory and Dark Pulse round out the list. I wouldn't mind keeping the Kitsune on the team, but if there's a better pokemon for this slot, a spec/mixed sweeper with a anti-skarmory move, i wouldn't mind hearing it.

;376;Metagross w/ Razor Claw
Jolly; Clear Body
EVs: Speed: 255; Attack: 255
Meteor Mash
Zen Headbutt
Agility
Brick Break

Agility Metagross. Yup, not much to say, Brick Break to take down unsuspecting dark-types... which i doubt i'll run into... I was considering T-tar for this spot, BUT i was also gonna give him the same moveset as Aerodactyl... -_- and i didn't exactly want a dragon, so yeah. Raised to be as quick as possible to reduce the downtime to get up to speed with agility. This is my major Defense against a Physical sweeper...

As you can see, i've got speed maxed out for every poke except Blissy to try and outrun about anything i can come up against. I'm pretty sure i could use a little help, but otherwise, is this a decent team?
 
-First how about none of those luck based items, they're a waste of an item slot

-Why would a Fighting type use Waterpulse on Tyranitar when it has a x4 super effective stab move?

Lucario @Life orb
Timid Nature
Trait: humble Heart
-Calm Mind
-Close combat
-Dragon Pulse
-Shadow ball

Close combat does way more on Tyranitar because of the Sp. def boost it gains from sand storm. Also keeps Blissey from killing you

-255/255 EV spread is a waste, your wasting a valuable 4 EVs that can go into something else.

-Standard Blissey has this I believe

@Life orb
Trait: Serene Grace
Bold Nature
252 HP/ 252 Def/ 6 Sp. def
-Seismic Toss
-Soft boiled
-Aromatherapy
-Ice beam

-Why would anyone use skarm on a special sweeper?

Ninetails @Leftovers
Timid/Modest Nature
-Nasty Plot
-Flame thrower
-Energy Ball
-Will-o-wisp

If your going all-out-attack on it, use Choice specs, or atleast Life orb

-Metagross so wants Explosion

-Aero wants Choice band
 
This is the standard CMBliss.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Modest Nature
252 Def / 252 Sp.Atk / 6 Spd
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Calm Mind
-Softboiled
