Mono-ground team

[Toothache]

Well, I've not changed my team in a while now, so here's me going with something a little crazy. One mono-ground team. I think I've covered all the bases.

Quagsire (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 184 HP / 252 Atk / 74 Def
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Focus Punch
- Substitute
- Yawn

Sub-punching fun with Quaggy.

Claydol @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 74 Def / 56 SAtk / 128 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Explosion
- Psychic
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic

Could do with Light Screen since he's the only one able to tank special attacks.

Marowak (M) @ Thick Club
Trait: Rock Head
EVs: 172 HP / 252 Atk / 58 Def / 28 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bonemerang
- Brick Break
- Rock Slide
- Swords Dance

Pretty standard. Got a chance to survive a non-supereffective move

Flygon (M) @ Petaya Berry
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 6 Atk / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Dragon Claw
- Flamethrower
- Giga Drain
- Quick Attack

My special sweeper. Quick Attack for Reversal users.

Donphan (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 129 HP / 129 Atk / 252 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Facade
- Rest
- Roar

People love to use Toxic on Donphan (I know I do), so I thought I'd abuse that with Facade.

Steelix (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Rock Head
EVs: 190 HP / 252 Atk / 68 Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Rock Slide
- Toxic

Yeah, it's standard, couldn't think what to put here. Might swap Steelix for CB Dugtrio.

Anyway, rate away.

Does it have the most fun with Banette and Gengar?

Claydol @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 74 Def / 56 SAtk / 128 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Explosion
- Psychic
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic

Sassy/Relaxed better. Have ice beam over toxic, and e.q. over psychic. Covers all types.

Could do with Light Screen since he's the only one able to tank special attacks. Your decision...

Marowak (M) @ Thick Club
Trait: Rock Head
EVs: 172 HP / 252 Atk / 58 Def / 28 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bonemerang
- Brick Break
- Rock Slide
- Swords Dance

Pretty standard. Got a chance to survive a non-supereffective move

As you say, standard...except for HP ghost/flying>brick break, but...

Flygon (M) @ Petaya Berry
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 6 Atk / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Dragon Claw
- Flamethrower
- Giga Drain
- Quick Attack

My special sweeper. Quick Attack for Reversal users.

Yeh, fine. HP grass/(special)>giga drain IMO. What reversalers are used against this though?

Donphan (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 129 HP / 129 Atk / 252 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Facade
- Rest
- Roar

Again, Hi Banette/Gengar...non-rapid spinner though. Good.

People love to use Toxic on Donphan (I know I do), so I thought I'd abuse that with Facade.

Steelix (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Rock Head
EVs: 190 HP / 252 Atk / 68 Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Rock Slide
- Toxic

Yeah, it's standard, couldn't think what to put here. Might swap Steelix for CB Dugtrio.

Up to you. I like steelix more, but you probably could do with some more speed

Anyway, rate away.

Yeh, pretty good.

 

[Toothache]

Obvious enemies to this team include Sceptile, and Gengar (not faced Banette, but it's going to be a similar threat). Duggy has the speed to possibly match Sceptile, so he's going in for Steelix (Since I have Donphan as a physical wall).

I see your point about HP Grass for Flygon, might change that then, or HP Electric/Special something.

Hm... perhaps HP Ghost over Facade on Donphan? I need a way to be able to handle ghosts, definately. I'll stick HP Ghost on Marowak for now over BB until I think of something better.

As for Claydol, I was thinking of Relaxed nature, but I'd like to be able to hurt something with Explosion. Meh. I'll try the Ice Beam then, gives me a chance to fight back against Dragons.

Sub-punching fun with Quaggy.

Fine, Gengar, you can put to sleep while hiding behind sub. Banette just attack it.

Claydol @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 74 Def / 56 SAtk / 128 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Explosion
- Psychic
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic

Not sure about this...

Marowak (M) @ Thick Club
Trait: Rock Head

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bonemerang
- Brick Break

Something over SD. Some attack. They see this thing, they will want to kill it. Fast.

Flygon (M) @ Petaya Berry
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 6 Atk / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Dragon Claw
- Flamethrower
- Giga Drain
- Quick Attack

My special sweeper. Quick Attack for Reversal users.
The quick attack user is to take care of Reversal users when they've endured, not to lure them out, imho.

Donphan (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 129 HP / 129 Atk / 252 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Facade
- Rest
- Roar

Go with Rock Slide. Most ghosts are invulnerable to this set.

Steelix (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Rock Head
EVs: 190 HP / 252 Atk / 68 Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Rock Slide
- Toxic
Not too sure either. Iron tail over Toxic I guess.

Yeah, it's standard, couldn't think what to put here. Might swap Steelix for CB Dugtrio.
CB Trio, I gather you know what to give it. :)
Anyway, rate away.

 

[Lion Heart]

Toothache my man, you're team got beaten by my team.
You need to seriously revise this as a serious team.
Because that was a joke.
No really my Meditite with 1 health floged 4 of your dudes.
you are an embrassesment to pokemon.
P.S you suck and do revision.

Instead of being such so rude, you'd better give him some advise and apologise

And you did it with Medicham not Meditite so be honest or say nothing.

 

[Kholdstaire]

If Donphan is your physical wall, PLEASE put Counter on there somewhere =[ And also, Gligar is good anti-Sceptile. Sup SD+AA ;0

You are an embarrassment to English grammar =[

Anyway, Toothy, keep up the fun-ness that is Theme-teams ;)

 

[Toothache]

LOL It was meant to be a fun team, nothing serious (although I have won quite a few matches with this team :-) ), so I'm not too bothered whether I win or lose with them, it was just something a little crazy and fun. If you want to be offensive to me, don't do it in a place where a) I'm a moderator and can do something about it, and b) where I have a lot of support from other people. Cos you're just asking for everyone to hate you.

 

[Shuckle]

heh Lion Heart, you are funny. Keep this up and you might get some recognition of the biggest nub these boards have ever seen. ;D

Anyway, Donphan doesnt have to have rapid spin mine doesnt and still works. But I have Rockslide over rapid spin and Counter somewhere in there.

Yeah real funny.
What the hell's a nub!?
As for that recognition thing, that'd be great.

Anyway, a suggestion for the team is maybe raise Flygon's Attack, as Quick Attack needs a little power for it to work properly.

I would have lost if i had like, 1 more stat point in attack.

Marowak (M) @ Thick Club
Trait: Rock Head
EVs: 172 HP / 252 Atk / 58 Def / 28 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bonemerang
- Brick Break
- Rock Slide
- Swords Dance

Pretty standard. Got a chance to survive a non-supereffective move

eventually, 1 bonermerang = super effective brick break... so have double edge > brick break

Flygon (M) @ Petaya Berry
Trait: Levitate

Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Dragon Claw

My special sweeper. Quick Attack for Reversal users.

flygon has more potential of being a physical sweeper then a special one...

Donphan (F) @ Leftovers

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake

Yeah, it's standard, couldn't think what to put here. Might swap Steelix for CB Dugtrio.

meh...

Anyway, rate away.

gligar is cool too =(

 

[Iveechan]

That Dugtrio screwed my team over :*(. But it was pretty close, he had 2 guys left and I had a few of my own, so I was feeling confident until the dreaded, mutated, chicken nuggets of doom were brought out 0_0.

 

[Lion Heart]

Or your team sucks.

And KLDucks.
QA is useful as more than just a reversal counter.

 

[Mullet]

Or your team sucks.

And KLDucks.
QA is useful as more than just a reversal counter.

You really need to stop critisising someone's team before you even see it, and plus CB Dugtrio is very strong! :D

 

[Lion Heart]

I know it's strong, but it shouldn't be able to own a whole team.
I mean, it can own some teams, but better players will have the proper counters for it.

 

[Mullet]

She did say that she had a few Pokes left.

The point was that you shouldn't just go around say you team sucks, that'd just bashing thier team, and that's just wrong, and not very mature, and plus you haven't even seen her team.

Also, earlier you said Toothys team sucks, and that was just a fun team anyway, so you need to grow up!

 

[Lion Heart]

And you're very easy to beat.

 

[Mullet]

So prove it, if your so good!

 

[Achilles]

Yeah, it's standard, couldn't think what to put here. Might swap Steelix for CB Dugtrio.

Don't, it just gives people a chance to set up Bellyzard. (which is quite common.)

 

[Lion Heart]

I beat you twice in a row.
't has been proven..
