hello all, so i am a decent breeder, and i have at least 1 box full of battle ready pokemon. but i just have the feeling that every team i make, just doesn't have synergy
so i will first post the team i am currently using, and then the pokemon i have ready for battle.
smeargle @ focus sash
Ability: own tempo
EVs: HP and speed
Nature: jolly
- spore
- taunt
- stealth rocks
- sticky web
one of my favorite leads, but if i see the opponent has something that is faster or something with prankster, then i might start with a different pokemon, usually just use spore -> SR -> ST (order depends on which is more useful against the opposing team)
after that i just let it die, unless they have something that could get rid of the entry hazards.
furfrou @ leftovers
Ability: fur coat
EVs:HP and SP.DEF
Nature:calm
- toxic
- cotton guard
- snarl
- rest
amazing tank, i have won so many battles because people underestimated it. after 1 cotton guard, even close combat doesn't do anything. only weakness is poison and steel types.
starmie @ life orb
Ability: natural cure
EVs: SP.ATK and speed
Nature: timid
- psyshock
- scald
- recover
- rapid spin
i really needed a rapid spinner and starmie is also strong enough to fight back when needed
charizard @ megastone- X
Ability: blaze before mega, touch claws after mega
EVs: ATK and speed
Nature: adamant
- dragon dance
- outrage
- flare blitz
- crunch
the physical attacker of this team, gets hurt a lot by stealth rocks (that's why i have starmie) and does not have roost, so it's kinda a suicide attacker, usually taking 2-3 pokemon down with him.
chandelure @ choice scarf
Ability: flash fire
EVs: SP.ATK and speed
Nature: Modest
- Fire blast
- shadow ball
- energy ball
- trick
one of the special attackers of my team, but doesn't need setup and can cripple a tank with trick choice scarf.
Swoobat @ kee berry
Ability: simple
EVs: SP.ATK and speed
Nature:timid
- Signal beam
- calm mind
- stored power
- roost
special sweeper who needs a little setup, after 1 calm mind stored power will already have a basepower of 100. the kee berry raises his defence by 2 stages(because of simple) when hit by a physical move. and signal beam takes care of dark and psychic pokemon that try to switch in.
everytime i use this team i just have the feeling like it just doesn't work well together. i would like to hear some opinions.
here is a list of pokemon i have in my bank ready to use:
M-charizard Y, talonflame, M-absol, espeon, M-tyranitar,M-heracross, torterra, whimsicott, sableye, roserade, blissey, ferrothorn, M-venusaur, sigilyph, azumarill, hawlucha, alakazam, togekiss, tyrantrum, kingler, darmanitan, swampert, drifblim, mamoswine, jolteon, quagsire
i know it's a long list but maybe someone sees a pokemon in it that might be able to fulfill a role in my team better.
