feel free to make suggestions, the team is for DPPt, i know that HGSS will affect some of the pokemons in this team, this team is item clause compatible
Lead
;461;Weavile@ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Fake Out
- Ice Shard
- Pursuit
- Night Slash
i have choose adamant nature cause he has 2 quick moves, i have tried the jolly nature but that needs Sword Dance to work, but i'm taking Weavile as my lead and not a sweeper
special wall
;073;Tentacruel@ Black Sludge
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 252 HP/120 Def/136 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Rapid Spin
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Surf
- Toxic Spikes
i have included him in my team first for the rapid spin, it saves my strategy when i want to counter attack with lucario, removing the stones or spikes, smogon based
late game killer
;448;Lucario@ Focus Sash
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 128 Atk/252 Spd/128 SAtk
Lonely nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Blaze Kick
- Bullet Punch
- Close Combat
- Dark Pulse
the main idea is to blast them off with close combat and then bullet punch for anything that he can't take down in 1 hit, mixed for making descent damage to physical walls if they are not at full hp or take the supereffective damage from Dark Pulse
physical wall
;450;Hippowdon@ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP/168 Def/88 SDef
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Slack Off
- Roar
pseudo-hazer for dragon dancers/sword dancers and stealth rock for a little more damage, smogon based
;485;Heatran@ Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Flamethrower
- Ancientpower
heatran is for type coverage, it has no explosion cause i have more physical choises to make in my party
mixed sweeper
;230;Kingdra@ Lum Berry
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 HP/128 Atk/36 Def/56 Spd/36 SDef
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Draco Meteor
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Facade
this is based on my classic EV distribution from GBA, it was a great counter for salamence in that generation, it has balanced defenses, can take a few hits, except for outrage-dragons of today, again draco meteor a special move to surprice physical walls
again any suggestion is welcome, the point is to know and minimize the weaknesses of the team
