Building my team, but egg moves kill my motivation!

I'm finally back into some mon and have started gaining momentum in building a team.


This is what I have now;

Gengar@Timid
Levitate

Life orb

Shadow Ball
Focus Blast
Sludge Bomb
Destiny Bond

252 SpA/252 Speed/ 4 Hp



Tyranitar@Sassy
Sandstream

Assault Vest

Crunch
Stone Edge
Pursuit
Power Up Punch (I know I should switch this one)

252 SpD/ 252 HP/ 4 Att.



Dragonite@Adamant
Multiscale

Weakness Policy

252 HP/ 25 Att./ rest to speed.

Fire Punch
Outrage
Dragon Dance
Roost



I plan for a Togekiss for now but my question is; Bold, Timid or Calm?

And of course a Megalucario

And a grass PKMN, possibly a Venusaur, altho I got a good IV celebi (31 in all IVs except speed and HP). What do you think should be the last spot? Venusaur? Celebi? Or another one?

You're a bit too slow on this; Lucarionite got banned in OU, but it's still fine to use it in Wi-Fi battles and such.

I wouldn't put Dragonite and Tyranitar together in the same team because the sandstorm that Tyranitar brings will render Dragonite's Multiscale useless.

I agree, if you really want to use weather with a Dragonite, you should use Charizard Y/NineTales or Politoed. I recommend Charizard Y since your Dragonite might hit harder with fire punch imo. You might want to consider Trevanant with harvest and sitrus berries.

Gotcha. I think Ima keep Dragonite for a second competitive team. In regards to Megalucario, I think I'll drop it alltogether then. But how is regular Lucario? Should I keep it in this team or get another fighter?

And as for Togekiss; modest, bold or timid (if I have Gengar and T-tar as team options)?


I'll check Trevenant out.

Regular Lucario is still viable. As I said before, Mega Lucario can be used in Wi-Fi battles:
-Swords Dance
-Close Combat
-Extreme Speed
-Crunch/Bullet Punch/Ice Punch/Shadow Claw
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

No a bad idea, but you also want to outspeed excadrill.

Trevenant doesn't really need to outspeed Excadrill.


And Fabe, if you need a Togekiss set, here ya go:


-Togekiss w/Leftovers
Nature: Bold/Calm
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense (Bold)/252 Sp.Defense (Calm), 4 Sp. Attack
Moves: Air Slash, Roost, Dazzling Gleam, Thunder Wave


The EVs and natures allow you to choose if you want Togekiss to be more physically or specially defensive.

Got it.

As for Trevenant; why is it more viable than Venusaur (or even Celebi)?
