Hey, so to start things off Pokémon is something that I love to do. I decided that since I've never done it before, I'd enter one of the competitions, so currently I am in the March Competition. However, unexpectedly, my team is receiving one loss after another, it's quite depressing actually. I don't battle competitively so it came as quite a shock to lose THIS much... And I noticed that most people use a LOT of the same Pokémon [Cresselia, Scizor, Hydreigon] that I don't have... Anyway, here's my team.
Samurott [Mystic Water]
Megahorn
Hydro Cannon
Waterfall
Retaliate
Samurott is my starter, and it's reliable. It's usually the last one to go down. I use it for it's great attack and ability to take hits.
Crobat [Scope Lens]
Cross Poison
Confuse Ray
Fly
Bite
Crobat is another one of my personal favorites. It is a speed DEMON [not to mention Hasty natured!] and I use it for fast blows. Confuse Ray helps out a lot too.
Flygon [Soft Sand]
Dragon Claw
Crunch
Rock Slide
Earth Power
Now...Flygon is such an awesome Pokémon with a lot of potential, but it's unfortunate that I honestly don't know what to do with it. I look at it's moveset and cringe...I guess Rock Slide is good being a double battle tournament and for flinching...but that's basically it.
N's Zoroark [Rocky Helmet]
Focus Blast
Night Slash
Night Daze
Nasty Plot
This one is fast, and is in almost all my battles as it assists in making the opponent be caught off guard. It's defenses can use some work, maybe it's attacks. I don't use Nasty Plot though, as it doesn't survive long enough to be set up...
Leafeon [Meadow Plate]
X-Scissor
Leaf Blade
Synthesis
Sunny Day
I love Leafeon as Grass is my favorite type. However, the types I usually see give Leafeon a hard time and it rarely battles to survive long enough to set up Sunny Day and attack swiftly. This is my only EV trained Pokémon as I got it post-game from an Eevee egg. I like it's moveset, maybe help on a held item?
Latios [Shell Bell]
Draco Meteor
Calm Mind
Psychic
Ice Beam
Now...I don't like legendaries, but I needed something to make my team a little more threatening. I caught it for the competition...I was super pissed seeing that Soul Dew was a nogo, so Shell Bell was it's second best option. However, it has a TERRIBLE NATURE as in bad speed good attack which is terrible......ugh. It dies a lot too as it has a low defense stat [Like 120 while the rest of the stats are like 160]....Ugh, I'm dying and cringing inside.
Also, abilities are Torrent, Inner Focus, Levitate, Illusion, Leaf Guard, and Levitate
Advice?
