k people im abit confused what are the different types of teams and whats their purpose. for example trick room teams and the rest
Posted from Pokecommunity.com App for Android
Here are the ones that I know of (anyone can correct me if I'm wrong here):
-Hyper-offense: they're mostly comprised of sweepers who do as much damage as they can to the opposition (with support from Reflect/Light Screen to make up for their normally meager defenses, as well as Stealth Rock/Spikes to reduce the amount of PP they use for their moves to bring down opponents)
-Rain: utilizes Rain Dance or Politoed (OU)/Kyogre (Ubers) to give the rest of the team benefits from the rain (increased power of Water moves, healing from Dry Skin, 100% accurate Thunders, increased Speed for Swift Swim Pokemon, reduced damage from Fire moves). Note that Swift Swim Pokemon can't be used with Drizzle Pokemon.
-Sun: utilizes Sunny Day or Ninetales (OU)/Groudon (Ubers) to allow other Pokemon to benefit from it (increased power of Fire moves, increased Speed for Chlorophyll Pokemon, SolarBeam needing no charge turn, increased Special Attack for Solar Power Pokemon, reduced damage from Water moves)
-Sandstorm: utilizes Tyranitar or Hippowdon's Sandstream ability to wear down non-Rock/Steel/Ground Pokemon. Gives other benefits, like boosting the power of Rock/Ground/Steel moves of Sand Force Pokemon, increasing the Special Defense of Rock Pokemon and boosting the Speed of Sand Rush Pokemon.
-Stall: mostly consists of defensive Pokemon that use things like Toxic, Protect and entry hazards to wear down opponents
-Trick Room: utilizes the Trick Room move to allow slow Pokemon to move first temporarily
-Balanced: a blend of offensive and defensive Pokemon on a team
