Regaining Milotic's Throne?
Ok, so I'm sharing a team with you guys that does well for me, at least on shoddy.
Forretress @ Shed Shell Trait: Sturdy EV: 240 HP / 252 Def / 16 SpAtt Nature: Relaxed Spikes Zap Cannon Rapid Spin Explosion Useful lead, Zap Cannon for Gyara leads, Shed Shell in case people try Magnezone, Spikes is obvious, and Explosion when he's done. Predict fire move switches to: Heatran @ Choice Scarf Trait: Flash Fire EV: 6 Att / 252 SpAtt / 252 Speed Nature: Hasty Flamethrower Earth Power Dragon Pulse Explosion I like this guy. Maxed out speed for precaution, although I may not need it. Deals with Magnezone easily, covers a lot things. I like Dragon Pulse for it's decent neutral damage over most things. Garchomp @ Life Orb Trait: Sand Veil EV: 6 HP / 252 Att / 252 Speed Nature: Jolly Swords Dance Earthquake Dragon Claw Fire Fang Finally been converted to the ways of Garchomp, after being pummeled by this guy so often. And so far I'm liking this set up. As for the use of Fire Fang, it works out well for me, doing significant damage to Steels. Ok, Skarm may be able to come in and roar me away, but he can't do that too often. Blissey @ Leftovers Trait: Natural Cure EV: 120 HP / 252 Def / 116 SpAtt / 20 SpDef Nature: Bold Ice Beam Seismic Toss Thunder Wave Softboiled Yeah, it's the egg. Considering Sing over T-wave, but paralysis gives me more support. We all know how this goes otherwise. EV spread gives me a more dangerous Ice Beam without affecting her walling ability too much. Hippowdon @ Leftovers Trait: Sand Stream EV: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 Att Nature: Impish Earthquake Roar Slack Off Stealth Rock Second physical wall, starts Sandstorm up. Stealth Rock gives me some much needed support, Roar is there for pseudohaze (I did have Yawn, but Roar seems better), Slack Off for lasting power. I didn't give this guy a chance at first, but I like him, he's a premier physical wall. Milotic @ Leftovers Trait: Marvel Scale EV: 252 HP / 216 Def / 40 SpDef Nature: Calm Sleep Talk Rest Surf HP Electric I figured Milotic needs some love, since she hasn't been seen so much lately. HP Electric, while attracting Electivire once people figure out her moveset, stops me being walled by other waters and says hi to Gyarados. ReSTalk gives me nice lasting power over Recover, compensating for the Sandstorm. From what I can see, my main weakness comes from Milotic, maybe I can be different and throw Slowbro in her slot instead. I'm starting to realise why she's not doing so well in this metagame, but she's still a nice Pokemon and not one to be counted out easily. |
This team has a terrible Starmie weak. Along with another physical attacker, this team is beaten.

Blissey can COMPLETELY block Starmie. Milotic can piss it off a little, but not with RestTalk I don't believe.
EDIT: btw, you need better Blissey EVs 212 HP / 216 Def / 80 SAtk Or if you want the max Defense, minus 36 in HP and add them to Defense. EDIT 2: Although I did just notice Blissey is your ONLY line of Defense against Starmie :x |
Hmmm, Fire Fang over Fire Blast for Skarm? I guess it has SD, so ok there. I guess Biss isnt in need of Aromatherapy, your team isnt very status weak either.
