(gen 5) my 4th team, random online singles
Here is my 4th attempt at a random battle team, for singles. Seems to be working well so far, about a 75% win ratio, still could use some work. Although most of my loses, seems to be from misplays outside of getting destroyed, which I can live with.
1. Cloyster @ White Herb Trait: Skill Link EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 Defense Jolly Nature (+Spe, -SpA) - Shell Smash - Icicle Spear - Rock Blast - Razor Shell My main lead, I took razor shell over Ice shard for coverage, not sold on it yet, but it's helped me a few times, and times I needed a priority I was able to surive a hit to get off icicle spear. 2. Togekiss @ Choice scarf Trait: Serene Grace EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk) - Thunder Wave - Air Slash - Flamethrower - Roost Mostly used as a Flinch Machine, simple but effective. 3. Porygon2 @ Eviolite Trait: Trace EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / 72 SpD Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Thunderbolt - Ice Beam - Thunder Wave - Recover Good All around tan, Able to stall out a lot of pokemon and win the war of attrition. 4. Blissey @ Leftovers Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Aromatherapy - Toxic - Softboiled - Flamethrower My Special wall, haven't used much, probably a prime candidate to be replaced. 5. Tentacrue @ Black sludge Trait: Liquid Ooze - Rapid Spin - Toxic Spikes - Scald - Protect Another member I haven't used a lot, haven't ran into much worry from hazards yet, but he is basically my rapid spinner. 6. Breloom @ Toxic Orb Trait: Poison Heal EVs: 236 HP / 252 Def / 20 Spe Impish Nature (+Def, -SpA) - Substitute - Spore - Focus Punch - Leech Seed SubSeed breeloom. I love this guy but barely ever use him also, so maybe another candidate to replace. So far I use the members in order of list, 6th being the least (5% or less) Any suggestions would be appreciated. |
Choice Scarf should only be used on Pokemon with 4 attacks or 3 attacks + Trick/status, since it locks Togekiss into the move it last used. Give it Leftovers or Sitrus Berry. Replace Flamethrower with Aura Sphere, since Flying/Fighting has better coverage than Flying/Fire. Also, make Togekiss more defensive; this set should show what I mean:
-Thunder Wave -Air Slash -Aura Sphere/Nasty Plot -Roost Nature: Calm EVs: 252 HP/4 Def.252 SDef Item: Leftovers/Sitrus Berry Ability: Serene Grace A specially defensive spread is better than a physically defensive spread on Blissey because while a physically defensive spread helps Blissey take physical moves more easily, it makes Blissey more susceptible to special moves when it shouldn't be. The preferred nature/EV spread should be 4 HP/252 Def/252 SDef with a Calm nature. |
