I stay noided
Just started using Pokemon Showdown again and I'm still awful at team building. But I don't want to stick with the conventional OU 'mon, I really prefer to use ones from the lesser used tiers when I can. Here's my team.
Magneton @ Eviolite
Trait:Analytic Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Modest
* Thunderbolt
* Hidden Power Fire
* Flash Cannon
* Thunder Wave
I like Magneton better than Magnezone. Magneton has better speed and looks way cooler. I gave him TBolt and HP fire for coverage and Thunder Wave for annoyance, and Flash Cannon is really just for filler. I personally don't want to use Volt Switch, but if you have any suggestions besides Flash Cannon please tell me.
Latios @ Expert Belt
Levitate
252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid
* Draco Meteor
* Psyshock
* Surf
*Hidden Power Electric Roost
I've used Hydreigon in the past but he's always been outsped by Latios, so I thought to myself "I'm gonna use a Latios." And he works. This set is purely for coverage.I'm using HP electric instead of Fire to get past bulky waters. And the Expert Belt is nice with its extra little boost.
Staraptor
Infernape @ Life orb
Iron Fist
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly
* Fire Punch
* Close Combat
* Stone Edge
* Swords Dance
Fast and powerful. Good coverage, awesome attack after a dance. Sorta-sweeper.
Empoleon @ Leftovers
Torrent
248 HP / 44 Def / 216 SDef
Calm
* Stealth Rock
* Scald
* Toxic
*Protect Ice Beam
Love this guy in OU, he sets up rocks and toxics people. He's survived multiple Thunderbolts from Jolteon with his Special Defence and works well with protect. Only problem is that he's walled by anthing that resists water or ice. Ice Beam is useful for blocking setups.
Chandelure
Reuniclus @ Life Orb
Magic Guard
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
* Calm Mind
* Recover
* Psyshock
* Focus Blast
This guy is awesome bulky enough to set up a few calm minds and then recover when needed. And I don't get hurt by any statuses!
Cloyster
Donphan @ Leftovers
Sturdy
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Impish
* Rapid Spin
* Earthquake
* Roar
* Knock Off
Awesome spinner, great defense. Knock off bugs leftovers users and a few others. Roar bugs everybody that isn't a strong special attacker, for which I can switch into Magneton or Empoleon.
Sooo that's my team. I haven't been doing too well with it, winning about 40% of battles. Please help.
