Team for Tournament, 5th Gen only.
Gigalith @ Lum Berry
Nature: Adamant Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Def - Stealth Rock - Earthquake - Rock Blast - Explosion The lead. SR, EQ as coverage, RB for some nice STAB damage and breaks subs, Explosion for a 1:1 kill. Leavanny @ Toxic Orb Nature: Adamant Trait: Leaf Guard EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe - Camouflage - Facade - Razor Leaf - Shadow Claw Physical attacker. Camouflage + Facade for obvious combo, it would be a strong 210 base attack move. RL and SC for coverage. Chandelure @ Choice Scarf Nature: Modest Trait: Shadow Tag EVs: 4 Die/252 SpAtk/252 Spe - Shadow Ball - Flamethrower - Energy Ball - HP Fighting Revenge killer of the situation. Haxorus @ Muscle Band Nature: Adamant Trait: Mold Breaker EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe - Dragon Dance - Double Chop - Brick Break - Earthquake Awesome sweeper. DD+DC for huge damage, and breaks subs and Sturdy. Brick Break for Ice types. Earthquake to hit Eelektross and other guys with Levitate. Ferrothorn @ Shed Shell Nature: Relaxed Trait: Iron Barbs EVs: 248 HP/200 Def/62 SpDef - Gyro Ball - Power Whip - Spikes - Leech Seed Staller. Jellicent @ Leftovers Nature: Calm Trait: Water Absorb EVs: 252 HP/ 4 Def/252 SpDef - Scald - Ice Beam - Pain Split - Toxic Special wall. Not much time to add comment, maybe later. Rate it, criticism are hugely allowed. :) |
Few things.
Jellicent can get Recover, use that instead of Pain Split, because it has a rather large HP pool. And why Lum Berry on Gigalith? Off the top of my head, the only common lead running a really threatening status is probably Hypnosis Politoed, or a rare Grasswhistle Whimsicott, who is better off using Surf/Scald (or Giga Drain, in the case of Whimsicott) on Gigalith anyways. Poison and paralysis won't affect you much, since he is already slow, and appears to be something close to a suicide lead. Note, though, that Explosion is not as powerful as it used to be, and you may disappointed when it fails to kill something it hits for even neutral damage. Also, go ahead and run Life Orb instead of the Muscle Band on Hax, its defenses aren't high enough to be taking many hits anyways, so you may as well take the extra power while you can get it. |
I see Leavanny as dead weight to your team; two mons who has double weaknesses to fire aren't going to form some magical synergy. I recommend switching it out for a more reliable physical attacker with a much better typing, possibly Gliscor (who can still abuse Facade should you choose to do so, due to Poison Heal + Toxic Orb). Try this set:
Gliscor (M) @ Toxic Orb Trait: Poison Heal EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / 72 Spd Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Swords Dance - Earthquake - Ice Fang / Facade - Taunt |
Eh, I disagree with the sentiment that the fire weakness poses a problem, all of his other pokemon resist it, and as long as there remain no pursuit-like fire moves, he can always absorb them through others.
But something I just noticed: Shadow Tag Chandelure is commonly banned. |

Uhhhhh, you do know that this isn't a wi-fi team, but a team for the official competition. Which only allows 5th gen pokemon. you did know that. right? |

The only things that are disallowed are Victini, Reshiram, Zekrom, and the move Sky Drop. And, what could I use in replace of Leavanny? |
I am assuming this is VGC 2011 doubles rules then....
Top threats would be: Hydreigon, Chandelure, Whimsicott, Jellicent, Reuniclus, Conkeldurr, Amoongus, etc. ^^ Quote:
