Okay, so after ignoring EV's and competitive battling for my Pokemon-filled childhood, I have decided to comprise a team of Pokemon for battling. I've already trained one of these Pokemon, so I took it a step ahead. I decided on RU because of the variety of Pokemon from RU and NU. So here it is, my team (with much help from Smogon):
252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Jolly/ Toxic Orb
Guts
-Facade
-Brave Bird
-Protect
-U-turn
Swellow's main goal on this team is to Scout. I use Protect to activate the Toxic Orb and then hightail it outta there (chances are I probably will thanks to its crappy defenses).
252 Hp/4 Atk/ 252 Def
Impish/Rocky Helmet
Rough Skin
-Stealth Rock
-Dragon Claw
-Glare
-Dragon Tail
Druddigon comes in there and, despite his great attack stat, he uses his power to set up as a bulky set up for SR and Paralysis. Dragon Tail to force the opponent out, Dragon Claw for necessary STAB.
252 Hp/64 Def/192 Spe
Timid/Light Clay
Overgrow
-Reflect
-Light Screen
-Taunt
-Giga Drain
Serperior's purpose is obvious: dualscreens. He can come in safely to most things thanks to his bulk and taunt the opponent, while proceeding to set up screens and giga drain for STAB+recovery.
252 SpA/4 SpD/252 Spe
Timid/Life Orb
Compoundeyes
-Thunder
-Bug Buzz
-Giga Drain
-HP Ground
Galvantula serves as the sweeper. His high speed investment along with life orb makes his thunder something to reckon with.
248 Hp/244 SpD/16 Spe
Careful/Leftovers
Battle armor
-Toxic Spikes
-
-Roar
-Crunch
Drapion comes in as a special wall and can wall threats like Musharna effectively. I think everything is self explanatory on his set, with leftovers to regain whatever's lost on his substitute.
252 Hp/252 Atk/4 Def
Adamant/Choice Band
Solid Rock
-Waterfall
-Aqua Jet
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
Carracosta is my late game sweeper with his access to Aqua Jet. Everything else is available so he can be put to his full potential. He has the bulk to tank a few hits before finishing the opponent off. He's also the one I've trained already :)
So rate it and tell my how I can improve. I'm really new so I'm willing to hear anything you have to say about the team!
