Introduction:
Hello there guys! My name is TD and you'll guys might have seen me around in this part of the Forum once in a while. With the VGCs approaching, I've decided to make a team preparing for it. This team is balanced with 2 bulky mons and with 4 other sweepers. It's done well in Showdown and I'm planning to breed the mons onto my game. So without any further talk let's get on with it!
Team:
Scizor (M) @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
EVs: 100 Spd / 252 Atk / 86 SDef / 32 HP
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- X-Scissor
- Protect
What better way to start this than to show the MVP, M-Scizor. He's a monster and the fairy counter of my team. I've set up this in such a way that he has good bulk, extremely high Attack and a bit of speed. For those of you'll who are wondering why I've not added defense IVs, M-Scizor has an extremely high defense stat that needs absolutely no investment to function properly. Scizor works well along with Meowstic as a lead and absolutely loves setting up with Swords Dance on M-Kanghaskan. Bullet Punch and X-Scissor are two very strong STAB moves. Lastly, Protect is essential for most pokemon in doubles.
Talonflame @ Life Orb
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- Steel Wing
- Protect
Gale Wings Talonflame is the most common and one of the deadliest pokemon in the VGC metagame. The EV spread explains itself quite well and as a hyper offensive pokemon, Talonflame just murders things with this spread. Although, I've considered putting Roost on this Talonflame, the Life Orb works just fine. Priorty Brave Bird can kill anything (with a weakness to it) under the sun. Flare Blitz is one insanely powerful move that's good against Aegislash. Steel Wing can hit fairy types quite hard and Protect does you know what.
Amoonguss @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Calm Nature
- Clear Smog
- Spore
- Rage Powder
- Protect
Most people tend to attack Amoonguss with special moves, hence the Careful Nature. The EV spread provides it with maximum bulk and enable it to survive hits. As there's always the danger of it getting into low health, there's a Sitrus Berry and the ability Regenerator. Clear Smog is a good attacking option for Amoonguss and helps it to reduce any sweeper that has set up to it's usual base stats. Spore helps to put other pokemon to sleep and Rage Powder works great along with Scizor enabling it to set up easily.
Meowstic (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 Spd / 4 SAtk / 252 HP
Timid Nature
- Fake Out
- Psyshock
- Quick Guard
- Thunder Wave
Meowstic is quite literally the backbone of my team. I've used him in every match till now and he's always been useful. Meowstic in truth, is the best Prankster user in VGC all because of his brilliant speed and access to Fake Out. Thunder Wave allows him to easily cripple any sweepers who've already set up. Quick Guard is the best way to stop Talonflame right in it's tracks. Psyshock is a nice way to get some damage right onto his enemies.
Goodra (F)@ Assault Vest
Ability: Gooey
EVs: 252 SAtk / 188 Spd / 64 HP / 4 Def
Bold Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Focus Blast
- Flamethrower
- Sludge Bomb
Goodra is a monster. Assault Vest allows Goodra to have monstrous Special Defense and allows it to survive Choice Specs' Draco Meteor from Goodras. All the moves give it great coverage and need not be explained.
Gyarados @ Lum Berry
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Stone Edge
Gyrados' aim is simple. Switch in, scare the hell outa' any physical sweepers with Intimidate. Then set up with Dragon Dance and kill Talonflame and Mega Charizard Y, who is the most dangerous threat to my team.
