Marianna (Gliscor) (F) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 60 HP / 196 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Acrobat
- Earthquake
- Fling
- Taunt
Probably my favorite Pokémon on this team so far. Poisoning the opponent's bulky Pokémon with Fling helps my team in the long run. And once the Toxic Orb is gone, Acrobat hits really hard. I out speed a lot of leads and usually prevent them from setting up their initial hazards. I like this set a lot so I'm not really looking to replace it. But suggestions are always welcomed.
Andromeda (Starmie) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 80 HP / 176 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Boil Over
- Psycho Shock
- Rapid Spin
- Recover
Since I'm going to be replacing Cloyster (maybe), I'm not really sure if I want to keep this slot for a Rapid Spinner. Plus this thing has been Nattorei/Burungeru bait all the time. I was thinking of going with an offensive set (Surf/Ice Beam/HP Fire/Shadow Ball or Recover @ Life Orb) but I'm not sure. Some input on this slot would be nice.
James (Morobareru) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Regeneration
EVs: 184 HP / 252 Def / 24 SAtk / 48 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Giga Drain
- Clear Smog
- Spore
- Stun Spore
Unlike most teams I've had Jameshroom on so far, he hasn't really "shone" on this one. Of course, the pretty much guaranteed sleep is really nice. But I'm not sure if it really fits in I guess. It has been my stop against Rain Dance teams though. (Tinkerbell Celebi maybe?)
Franklin (Heracross) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Earthquake Spiral
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Megahorn
- Stone Edge
- Pursuit
This was originally a Choice Band Heracross but it was getting outsped by a lot. I really wanted to use Heracross and needed the speed factor, so I switched it to Choice Scarf. It's been effective but it does miss key KOs sometimes with its lesser power. But so goes the debate between Scarf vs Band/Specs. I'd like to replace Pursuit since it's not as effective on the Scarf set.
Cloyster (M) @ White Herb
Trait: Skill Link
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Shell Blade
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast
- Shell Smash
While this set is cute, Cloyster was mostly just filler. This slot can be used for suggestions to better this team. Maybe make this a spinner and replace Starmie. I'm open for suggestions.
Bernard (Mamoswine) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 4 Def / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Stone Edge
- Stealth Rock
My other favorite. It hits like a truck and forces switches. This allows me to set up Stealth Rock pretty easily. Also takes out annoying Dragons and fragile Chlorophyll sweepers.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Overall, this has been a fun team to use. I win some, I lose some. I'd like to win some more so this is why I'm posting it. I did manage to only lose 2-0 to Dark_Azelf which is the best I've done against him in a while. All suggestions are welcomed as long as they are good suggestion. xoxo
