Two Many Sweepers
Hi Guys. I've reattempted to create another competitive team however, I am well aware that I've got 4 Sweepers (of various kinds), and two walls/tanks. I was wondering whether I could have your help in making this team work. Be as critical as you want. :)
• Sylveon @ Leftovers | EV - HP:252 / Defense: 252 / Sp. Attack: 4 Nature: Bold Ability: Cute Charm Characteristic: Likes to thrash about Substitute (Normal) Calm Mind (Psychic) Shadow Ball (Ghost) Moonblast (Fairy) • Garchomp @ Garchompite | EV - Attack: 252 / Speed: 252 / HP: 4 Nature: Jolly Ability: Rough Skin (Mega: Sand Force) Characteristic: Takes plenty of siestas Dragon Claw (Dragon) Earthquake (Ground) Fire Fang (Fire) Brick Break (Fighting) • Aegislash @ Leftovers | EV - Attack: 252 / HP: 252 / Speed: 4 Nature: Adamant Ability: Stance Change Characteristic: Good perserverance King's Shield (Steel) Swords Dance (Normal) Shadow Sneak (Ghost) Sacred Sword (Fighting) • Blissey @ Leftovers | EV - Defense: 252 / Sp. Defense: 252 / HP: 4 Nature: Calm Ability: Natural Cure Characteristic: Takes plenty of siestas Soft-Boiled (Normal) Shadow Ball (Ghost) Seismic Toss (Fighting) Flamethrower (Fire) [I'm currently in the middle of breeding another for Aromatherapy] • Gengar @ Black Sludge | EV - Attack: 252 / Speed: 252 / HP: 4 Nature: Timid Ability: Levitate Characteristic: Hates to lose Substitute (Normal) Focus Blast (Fighting) Shadow Ball (Ghost) Disable (Normal) • Talonflame @ Life Orb | EV - Attack: 252 / Speed: 176 / HP: 80 Nature: Adamant Ability: Gale Wings Characteristic: Likes to thrash about Brave Bird (Flying) Flare Blitz (Fire) Roost (Flying) Swords Dance (Normal)[/QUOTE] |
No need to say characteristics here. And there's no point in saying the types of the moves when we already know what they are.
There's no point in running Mega Garchomp if Tyranitar or Hippowdon aren't around to provide it with sandstorm support. MegaChomp's lowered Speed in comparison to its regular form makes it not worth using outside of sand teams. Stick to regular Garchomp, please: -Swords Dance -Outrage/Dragon Claw -Earthquake -Fire Fang/Stone Edge Nature: Jolly EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe Item: Lum Berry/Yache Berry/Haban Berry or -Outrage -Earthquake -Stone Edge/Fire Fang/Fire Blast -Dragon Claw/Dual Chop Nature: Jolly/Naive EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe Item: Choice Band/Choice Scarf Use the new Blissey you intend to breed. Blissey is too offensively weak to utilize Softboiled + 3 attacks: -Aromatherapy -Softboiled -Seismic Toss/Flamethrower -Thunder Wave/Toxic Nature: Calm EVs: 4 HP/252 Def/252 SDef Item: Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure I'm not sure if regular SubDisable Gengar can work here, but here are other suggestions: -Shadow Ball -Sludge Bomb -Substitute/Protect -Focus Blast/Hidden Power (Fire) Nature: Timid EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Black Sludge/Life Orb or -Shadow Ball -Sludge Bomb -Focus Blast -Thunderbolt/Hidden Power (Ice/Fire) Nature: Timid EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Choice Scarf Mega Gengar is a good trapper for the team as well, since I removed Garchomp from the Mega slot: -Shadow Ball -Sludge Bomb/Focus Blast -Disable/Hypnosis -Substitute/Taunt Nature: Timid EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Gengarite or -Shadow Ball -Sludge Bomb -Focus Blast -Thunderbolt/Hidden Power (Fire) Nature: Timid EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Gengarite Since Talonflame already has priority in Gale Wings, change the EV spread to 192 HP/252 Atk/4 Def/60 Spe. Note that Talonflame is 4x weak to Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin support is crucial to its success. Starmie or Avalugg can do this for you: Avalugg -Hydro Pump/Surf -Psyshock/Thunderbolt -Ice Beam -Rapid Spin Nature: Timid EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe Item: Leftovers/Life Orb Ability: Natural Cure or -Scald -Rapid Spin -Psyshock/Ice Beam/Thunderbolt -Recover Nature: Timid EVs: 248 HP/32 Def/4 SAtk/224 Spe Item: Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure Avalugg: -Avalanche -Earthquake/Stone Edge/Roar -Rapid Spin -Recover Nature: Impish EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 Def Item: Leftovers Ability: Sturdy/Ice Body |
