Team Rating / Advice and Improvement
Hey all. New to the forums - just finished planning my post-game team, and would like you all to take a look at it, and spot weaknesses that could be corrected, etc. Also, I haven't decided on a couple of things, like 2 of the hold items - maybe you could help me with that as well.
I picked my team from the pokemon I really liked, and balancing it with what I thought were good statlines / movepools. I've gone mostly for an all out offensive, making an effort to cover all types with my moves, since "that's how I roll". So, here we go: Dusknoir @ Leftovers Pressure Impish Nature 252 EVs in Defense / HP - Ice Punch - Giga Impact - Rest - Confuse Ray Absol @ Razor Claw Super Luck Adamant Nature 252 EVs in Attack / Speed - Slash - Night Slash - Sucker Punch - Psycho Cut Charizard @ ??? Blaze Modest Nature 252 EVs in Sp.Att. / Speed - Air Slash - Flamethrower - Heat Wave - (Rest / Sunny Day ?) - Not sure... Garchomp @ Focus Sash / Band (? - What's the difference?) Sand Veil Jolly Nature 252 EVs in Attack / Speed - Iron Head - Dragon Claw - Dragon Rush - Earthquake Milotic @ Leftovers Marvel Scale Calm Nature 252 EVs in Sp.Def. / Sp.Att. - Surf - Ice Beam - Mirror Coat - Recover (Would I be better off with rest?) Sceptile @ ??? Overgrow Naughty Nature 252 EVs in Speed / Sp.Att. - Giga Drain - Energy Ball - Focus Blast - Brick Break There we go. Feedback would be much appreciated, and any changes at all you think I should make. (I'd rather stay away from Ubers and Legendaries, if it comes up). |
Dusknoir @ Leftovers
Pressure Impish Nature 252 EVs in Defense / HP - Ice Punch - Giga Impact - Rest - Confuse Ray NOOOOO Giga impact! Never use that! XD Moves: Ice punch Pain split Destany bond Fire/thunder puch Milotic @ Leftovers Marvel Scale Calm Nature 252 EVs in Sp.Def. / Sp.Att. - Surf - Ice Beam - Mirror Coat - Recover (Would I be better off with rest?) You oculd make it a sleep talker. Surf Rest Ice beam Sleep talk It has good sp. def, then with marvel scale, it will get the boost when you rest :) |
No Giga Impact on Dusknoir. You're better off with Fire / Thunder Punch than Ice. It needs Pain Split because of its rather low HP base. If you want to use Rest, add Sleep Talk in there. Otherwise, try Will-O-Wisp over Rest.
For Absol, Stone Edge over Slash, at least it can hurt flyers that way. Rock Smash instead of Sucker Punch, as Absol will have nothing else to hurt Tyranitar. |
Marvel Scale boosts Defense with a status ailment, right?
What's so bad about giga impact?? See, I was aiming for more type coverage with Ice punch, since I only have one other ice move. And, I was using slash with absol for the critical boost, since he will hopefully have critical hits all over the show with his ability / hold item.. |

Oh and
Sceptile @ Wide Lens / Wise Glasses Overgrow Timid/Modest Nature 252 EVs in Speed / Sp.Att. - Giga Drain - Energy Ball - Focus Blast - Dragon Pulse Something a friend of mine told me but Im not too sure.. =\ |

Giga impact it rubbish. You hit them, they have a free turn to hit you with something that oculd just kill your pokemon. Not a good idea! |
Right, right, good point. Never thought about that no STAB on that one either..
|
I don't prefer mixed Sceptile, so how about trying either Physical or Special?
Sceptile @ Choice Specs Timid / Modest Nature EVs: 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP - Hidden Power Fire / Ice - Energy Ball / Leaf Storm - Dragon Pulse - Focus Blast or Sceptile @ Choice Band Jolly / Adamant Nature EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP - Dragon Claw - Leaf Blade - Earthquake / Brick Break - ThunderPunch / Crunch If you really want it to have a self-healing move, don't use Giga Drain, just make it a SubSeeder: Sceptile @ Leftovers Timid Nature EVs: 252 Spd / 60 HP / 196 Def - Substitute - Leech Seed - Hidden Power Fire - Energy Ball |

Porygon-Z, and probably a few other Special Sweepers also have their jolly little parade. |

You have a severe boltbeam weakness...pory Z and c. would have a funh time against this team...also, agiligross is begging to play too...you can't counter very much in OU...kinda a problem there...You are also heracross and Vire weak...meaning you need pokemon with better edefense (like a tank or two over some of those sweepers, like absol) and maybe bold on milotic I just realized...that's all I got for now, and giga impact fails unless slaking has it, simple.
