Well I’m not a pro but here is my first team I plan for platinum. Any help would be helpful. thank you to diinbong for much help but more critism would be appreciated
my team-- ;142; ;475; ;121; ;462; ;232; ;442;
;142;aerodactyl @ focus sash
Jolly - Pressure
252 Atk / 6 Def / 252 Spe
-Taunt
-Stealth Rock
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide
;475;Gallade @ Leftovers
Careful - Steadfast
236 HP/ 88 Def/ 136 SpD/ 48 Spe
~Bulk Up
~Brick Break
~Night Slash
~Psycho Cut
can use bulk up to raise attack for a powerful attack.
;121;Starmie @ Life Orb
Timid - Natural Cure
160 HP / 132 SpA / 216 Spe
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Recover
heres my late game special sweeper. recover helps with life orb.
;462;Magnezone @ Choice Specs
Naive - Magnet Pull
46 Atk / 252 SpA / 212 Spe
-Thunderbolt
-magnet rise/ hp- grass
-Flash Cannon
-Explosion
Magnet rise will get rid of his 4x ground weakness and than it won’t have to worry about earthquake bothering him but i could also use hp grass to take out the popular ryhperior/swampert
;232;Donphan @ choice band
252 Atk/20 Spd/236 hp
Adamant - sturdy
-stone edge
-earthquake
-seed bomb
-ice shard
This one has a very wide range of super effective hits- fire, flying, ice, electric, poison, steel, ground, rock, water, grass and dragon. He will also be very effective with ice shard against the infamous salamence. i prefer this over hipowdon since my team doesnt really work with sandstorm.
;442;spiritomb @ ???
252 Satk/ 128 def/ 128 Sdef
modest - pressure
-pain split
-dark pulse
-shadow ball
-nasty plot
this is pretty much my defence pokemon. it can use pain split to help after being hurt and if i get a free turn i can use nasty plot to set up STAB dark pulse/shadow ball
anyway thats pretty much it. i probably need alota help so any feed back is welcome
