Alright, this is kinda competitive. I have a friend who I battle all the time, and I usually just throw random pokemon together for it. This time, I'm gonna try making a real team. NOTE: I haven't done competitive in a while, so I'm likely to have a lot of things wrong. All help is appreciated. Anyway, here's how it goes:
Liepard@Normal Gem
Unburden
Adamant Nature
252 atk 252 speed 4 HP
Fake Out
Night Slash
U-turn
Seed Bomb/Thunder Wave
I figured I'd try something new to start. I'm sure people have used this before, but I think it might work. Double Your speed with fake out, and try to take down their lead. I'm not sure about Thunder Wave, but it would be nice if Liepard is about to go down. It could help leave something before it goes down.
Roserade@Black Sludge
Natural Cure
Calm Nature
252 HP 120 Def 136 SpD
spikes
giga drain
sludge Bomb
Rest
I love rest+natual cure. I think it's a great strategy. I'm not sure whether I want sludge Bomb. I know it's STAB, but it doesn't get very good coverage. How does poison do in UU anyway? Well, after having something with spikes, I'll need something to keep them on the field. So, I introduce...
Dusclops@Eviolite
Pressure
Bold Nature
252 HP 176 Def 80 SpD
Rest
Sleep Talk
Will-o-wisp
Night Shade
Here's what I'll use to block any rapid spinner. When I first learned about eviolite, I realized it could work amazing on some pokemon. This one in particular...I'm using night shade over Seismic Toss because I don't have access to seismic toss. If there's anything else I should use besides Night Shade, just let me know. And to help with spikes, I'm adding...
Blastoise@Leftovers
Torrent
Bold Nature
252 HP 252 Def 4 SpD
Rapid Spin
Scald
Toxic
Roar
Oh, blastoise. My favorite kanto starter. He may not be OU material, but he generally does good otherwise. This one will help me spread spikes, poison, and hopefully burns if needed. Now, I noticed I don't have any sweepers, so I'm adding...
Darmanitan@Life Orb
Sheer Force
Jolly Nature
252 Atk 4 SpD 252 Speed
Flare Blitz
Earthquake
U-turn
Superpower
Darmanitan is one of my favorite 5th gen pokemon. If it wasn't weak to stealth rock, I think it would do well in OU. It has so much power
I'm not sure what to add next. I'm adding what I think, which would be a late game sweeper. I don't know what would be good, so I'd like to hear what you guys think I should use. Anyway, here's what I wanted:
Porygon-Z@Life Orb???
Adaptability
Timid Nature
4 HP 252 SpA 252 Speed
Nasty Plot
Tri Attack
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
I know smogon suggests dark pulse and HP fighting, but I can't get HP fighting, so I'm doing something else. I'd prefer to use adaptability, but if Download works a lot better, just tell me.
I used to do competitive battling, but I gave it up when my DS was stolen. I have another DS now, and I figured I'd give it another shot. I was never amazing, but I certainly did okay (sometimes). This is my team, and I'd love to get some help on it. Thanks a lot.
