Honey and Raindrops
Well, that title seems oddly femine. I can assure you that I am, in fact, a guy. Anyways, this is a team that I'm failing with, but it works OK-ish. I put in /ranking, and this is what it gave me.
(16:34:20) ±Porygon: Your rank in Wifi OU is 14290/20902 [945 points / 1 battles]!
I'm not exactly sure if thats good or not, but I will tell you that I'm still somewhat new at this. Now, with out further ado, Honey and Raindrops!
Wait. One more ado. This is a team for a clan called "The Battling Academy" One of the rules is that I must have a signiture pokemon to challenge my team buillding skills, and the other is that I must have a pokemon from the house, named after regions, I'm in. My signiture happens to be Vespiquen and my house is Hoenn. Ok, now, without further ado, Honey and Raindrops!
Changes in Bold, Original in (parenyhases)
Toxicroak (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Dry Skin
EVs: 144 HP / 252 Atk / 112 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Sucker Punch
- Substitute
Toxicoak is my main sweeper, along side Starmie. I'll sub up, spam bulk up, then abuse Drain Punch and Sucker Punch. Not much else.
Vespiquen (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 168 HP / 184 Def / 156 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Defend Order
- Heal Order (Roost)
- Toxic
- Attack Order
Vespiquen! She alone took down an entire team, which was ironic, because it was one of those people who challenge me with ubers thinking they always win. Anyways, Attack Order is one of the best bug-type attacks which only she can learn, so why not use it? Defend Order is fun, cause after she goes to +6 in her defensive stats, nothing does anything to her. I can heal of those petty attacks with Roost, and Toxic wears them down.
I've replaced Roost with Heal Order, as this prevents me from being vulnerable to ground type attacks. Yet this leaves me 4x weak to Rock, but it would creme me anyways.
Starmie @ Life Orb
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Surf
- Rapid Spin (Hidden Power [Fire])
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
Starmie, of course, is a powerful sweeper. Surf gets STAB and power boosts from rain, HP Fire is for the pesky steel types like ferrothorn and Sizor, Ice Beam and Thunderbolt make up the infamous BoltBeam combo.
The only reason I didn't have Rapid Spin before was because I didn't know where to put it. I'll try this out.
Politoed (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Hardy Nature
- Scald
- Toxic
- Encore
- Ice Beam
By looking at this little guy, you can obviously tell that this is a rain team. I kinda save him until I've killed their weather starter, then set up rain, bring in Toxicroak,Vespiquen,Swampert, or Starmie and start murdering the remainder of their team. If all of them are dead, this little guy can just kill the two or three that are still in it, as the above four won't go down with out at least poisoning them, setting up hazards, or doing some damage.
Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Beam
- Earthquake
- Scald
Swampy! At least, thats what I call him. Not much overly special here, but I still use him as a SR/Sweeper. Ice Beam also helps against dragons, as he's my back-up for dragons. Also, he's the only one on my team who counters electrics, as otherwise they run through my team.
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Sassy
- Leech Seed
- Spikes
- Protect
- Gyro Ball
Ninja Dewott recommended it. If it fails, blame him.
Removed Pokemon
Skarmory (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Impish Nature
- Brave Bird
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
- Roost
Surprisingly, as Vespiquen acts like Blissey some times, this guy is useful as heck. He takes down those setup sweepers with Whirlwind, or sets up spikes and whirlwinds everybody. Roost is his only real form of healing, which is good. Brave Bird is used for when I whirlwind in an unlucky grass or fighting type. He also walls all the Dragons, as I have no other way of dealing with them besides ice beaming them to death.
