HAI.
Welcome to my Rate My Team Thread! I have finally finished my exams! So, anyways, back to the main point… I would say my team is carefully crafted, modified and thought out, while simultaneously trying to sustain a range of moves, for type coverage, taking care of any potential weaknesses and generally maintaining effectiveness against an opponent. I’ve had trouble with deciding members of this team myself, and so in conclusion, I thought ‘Who is better at evaluating teams than me?’ The answer to that people is you. I generally need your help in modifying my team. I have a limited amount of members yet I need you to fill it out, providing it takes care of the vulnerability I may have in my team or type(s) I may lack of course. I came up with what is in my team by generally observing videos on youtube and seeing what comes up the most, what move sets are commonly used, just getting to know Pokémon’s attacks better. In general, I have spent a very long time, observing their weaknesses too. Throughout the game, I have constantly tried to aim to acquire the best IVs (Nature) to promote growth, depending on my Pokémon’s speciality.
At a First Glance:-
Yes there are the six Pokemon! Shock horror!
Ok, so here we go, without further a do, presenting Team Rawr! (Ignore the team name if you don’t like it!)
I tried to capture an image of the pokemon actually in action, in the anime, just to be unique and try something new xD Here we go:
Metanose (Donphan) @ Focus Sash.
Ability: Pickup
Gender: Female
Nature: Adamant [+ Att]
Moveset:
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Rapid Spin
Metanose here is my lead pokemon. As you can see I generally thought it was a good idea to equip it with a focus sash, as when a lead is brought out, OHKOs are usually put into effect, by the opponent especially when setting up moves that slowly consumes life, such as stealth rock. The moveset here is well thought out, and based mainly on physical attacks, as a considerable amount of EVs are put into his attack stat. Rapid spin would get rid of any gradual life eaters. Earthquake is a powerful sweeper move and so I thought it would be wise to include it on my Donphan! It baisically smashed any electric type pokemon. If you're smart you would swtich out when any Donphan is brought out. 0% Damage done.
Zappy (Zapdos) @ Focus Sash.
Ability: Pressure
Gender: ???
Nature: ???
Moveset:
- Thunderbolt
- ???
- ???
- ???
Zapdos was mainly put on my team due to being an effect Scizor counter. Obviously, Scizor is one of the biggest OU Pokemon in competitive battling, and so, I really do need Zapdos in my team. I am however struggling to find an appropriate moveset for my Zapdos, having only given it T-Bolt. A bonus feature about Zappy is that Ground moves don't phase it, which is a bonus from a very effective move known an Earthquake! Giving Zappy T-Bolt allows my Gengar to keep its Hypnosis attack, and giving electricity coverage to Zapdos instead.
Gargar (Gengar) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Gender: Male
Nature: Modest [+ Sp. Att.]
Moveset:
- Focus Blast
- Shadow Ball
- Hypnosis
- Psychic
I know you like the name! This sneaky little Pokémon generally deals with all those fighting / ground type moves. Psychic smashes away Infernapes and Machamps, so I generally do think this is basic, however, a must have! Thunderbolt is up for dealing with Gyaradoses. The IV here is Modest, which does help when EV training for special attack. the Shadow ball STAB move can take care of any ghost type Pokemon, such as Dusknoir, which is pretty OU. Finally, Focus blast allows me to deal with steels (Skarmory!!!) and dark Pokemon, which is especially a threat to Gengar.
Frogtox (Toxicroak) @ Leftovers
Ability: Dry Skin
Gender: Male
Nature: Naughty [+ Att]
Moveset:
- Sucker Punch
- Brick Break
- Substitute
- Swords Dance
Okay, so for my Toxicroak, it is known for its physical abilities, his attack is brilliant, yet if only we could have 5 moves altogether! Toxicroak is a good physical sweeper, considering his Brick break is a STAB Move. I’ve focused mainly on upgrading his attack stats, mainly destroying a hell of a lot of Machops! Basically, it can deal with threats such as Electivire. Not sure what item to give it though. Need your help!
Enter, the newest member of my Team!
Snorlax (Snorlax)@LeftOvers
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Att / 252 sp.D
Ability: Thick Fat
Gender: Male
Nature: Serious [+Nothing]
Moveset:
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Body Slam
- Earthquake
Yes, as suggested by a very helpful person. Snorlax 'compliments' my Gengar' in a veriety of effective methods. They mainly Deal with ghost and fighting types, and so Snorlax should be of great use to me. Rest allows me with recover, while sleep talk allows me to deal some damage so that I don't waste two turns sleeping xD Body slam gives me more of a percentage to Paralize the foe while earthquake could be his sweeper move
My Physical Wall he is xD
Seamaid (Vaporeon) @LeftOvers
Ability: Water Absorb
Gender: Male
Nature: ??? [I'm not sure what the best nature would be]
Moveset:
- Ice Beam
- Surf
- Protect
- Wish
Hmm Vaporeon is used quite alot. I stuck to the main typed that can be covered by this Pokemon, Ice/Water etc. However, I need help with the final move. As you can see, Vaporeon, suggested by other users is my special sweeper, focusing on non-physical attacks. I stuck toxic on there just to annoy the opponent, as is slowly effects the foe's life. Its ability is generally quite good, as, the moment a water type shows up, Vaporeon will take care of it, healing its life when a Gyarados is brought into play. I thought about putting a Dig on my Vaporeon, however, it takes too long to actually be put into effect...its a physical move, AND it could cost me the game...What do you think? Its biggest threat would be the OU Electivire...
So yeah that’s all we have so far. My six Pokémon! Obviously, I’ve tried do my best yet I’m totally willing to change anything that you guys may suggest? I greatly appreciate any time taken into developing my team.
Thank you x
