My Wanna Be Team
I've just gotten into competitive battling and I need help with my team. I can't for the life of me win a battle and i need some help. Here's the team
Skarmory - no item Stats All IV's are 31 and EV's are 252 HP, 234 DEF, 24 Speed Moves Brave Bird Whirlwind Roost Spikes Meinshow - Choice Scarf Stats All IV's are 31 and EV's are 6 HP, 252 Attack, and 252 Speed Moves Quick Guard Hi Jump Kick U-turn Drain Punch Togekiss - None Stats All IV's are 31 and EV's are 255 HP and 255 Speed Moves ExtremeSpeed Aura Sphere Fly Sky Attack Terrakion - Choice Band All IV's are 31 and EV's are 4 HP, 244 Attack, 4 Defense, 2 SP Attack, 4 SP Defense, 252 Speed Moves Close Combat Rock Slide Earthquake Quick Attack Quagsire - none Stats 31 IV all and 252 HP, 252 Defense, and 6 SP Defense Moves Recover Earthquake Scald Toxic Ferrothorn - Leftovers Stats 31 IV all and 252 HP, 100 Defense, 158 SP Defense Spikes Toxic Leech Seed Power Whip Help please |
Each Pokémon must hold an item to succeed in competitive battling. Listing items and abilities would be great.
Skarmory and Ferrothorn are redundant with one another, as they play similar roles as hazard setters/walls; you have to choose between one or the other: Skarmory: -Spikes/Stealth Rock -Whirlwind -Roost -Brave Bird Nature: Impish/Careful EVs: 224 HP/252 Def/32 SDef or 224 HP/32 Def/252 SDef Item: Leftovers/Shed Shell Ability: Sturdy or -Stealth Rock -Spikes -Taunt -Brave Bird Nature: Jolly EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe Item: Custap Berry Ability: Sturdy Ferrothorn: -Spikes/Stealth Rock -Leech Seed -Power Whip -Gyro Ball/Thunder Wave/Protect Nature: Relaxed EVs: 252 HP/88 Def/168 SDef Item: Leftovers/Shed Shell Seriously, why are you even using non-status moves besides Trick/Spore/the like on Choice sets? Choice items force you into one move until you switch and that isn't good on Mienshao. Ask yourself why you'd use it alongside Terrakion. Quick Guard is also better off on VGC teams. If you want to go with Mienshao, be my guest, but I think Garchomp is better as a Choice user: -Hi Jump Kick -U-turn -Hidden Power (Ice)/Stone Edge -Grass Knot/Stone Edge Nature: Naive EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb Ability: Regenerator Garchomp: -Outrage -Earthquake -Fire Fang/Aqua Tail -Dragon Claw/Dual Chop Nature: Jolly EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe Item: Choice Band/Choice Scarf Why is Togekiss even on the team? It's better off supporting the team with flinchax. I can't think of any potential replacements, atm, but it's still better off with this: -Thunder Wave/Body Slam -Air Slash -Roost -Aura Sphere/Nasty Plot/Heal Bell Nature: Calm EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SDef Item: Leftovers Ability: Serene Grace I don't get why Quagsire is on the team at all, unless you want to check offensive setup sweepers. Otherwise, Gastrodon, Starmie and Jellicent are better options for you to use: Gastrodon: -Earthquake/Earth Power -Scald/Ice Beam -Toxic -Recover Nature: Sassy/Calm EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SDef Item: Leftovers Ability: Storm Drain or -Surf -Earth Power -Ice Beam -Hidden Power (Grass)/Recover Nature: Modest EVs: 124 HP/252 SAtk/132 SDef Item: Choice Specs/Life Orb Ability: Storm Drain Starmie: -Surf/Hydro Pump -Rapid Spin -Psyshock/Thunderbolt -Recover/Ice Beam Nature: Timid EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure or -Scald -Rapid Spin -Psyshock/Ice Beam/Thunderbolt -Recover Nature: Timid EVs: 248 HP/32 Def/224 Spe Item: Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure Jellicent: -Scald/Surf -Will-o-Wisp/Toxic -Recover -Taunt Nature: Bold EVs: 248 HP/216 Def/44 Spe Item: Leftovers or -Scald/Surf -Shadow Ball/Ice Beam -Will-o-Wisp/Toxic -Recover Nature: Calm EVs: 252 HP/36 Def/220 SDef Item: Leftovers Ability: Water Absorb or -Water Spout -Hydro Pump/Surf/Scald -Shadow Ball -Ice Beam/Giga Drain Nature: Modest EVs: 172 HP/252 SAtk/84 Spe Item: Choice Specs Ability: Water Absorb |
Thanks for the help. I will try those out. Also if anyone else has any suggestions let me know.
