3 Man Team Advice?
Hi. I'm trying to make a 3 man Pokemon Y team for competitive single battles. This is my team so far:
Gengar- Nature: Timid Ev: 6 hp, 252 spa, 252 spe Item: Gengarite
Crobat- Nature: Adamant Ev: 6 hp, 252 atk, 252 spe Item: None
Scizor- Nature: Adamant Ev: 252 hp, 252 atk, 6 spe Item: Choice Band
Now I'm contemplating switching out Mega Gengar for Mega Tyranitar because Gengar is really delecate and is easily out-sped by protean Greninja's and priority shadow sneak. What do you guys think? Should I switch those two? Any other insight would be appreciated. Thanks. |
Mega Gengar should make the most out of its new Shadow Tag ability. It shouldn't just hammer at walls with offensive moves alone because there's a risk it can be crippled by status. All-out offense is still viable in itself, tough Also remember that Mega Gengar outspeeds Greninja:
-Shadow Ball -Sludge Bomb/Focus Blast -Perish Song/Destiny Bond -Substitute/Taunt/Protect Nature: Timid EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Gengarite or -Shadow Ball -Sludge Bomb/Focus Blast -Substitute/Taunt -Disable/Hypnosis 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 Infiltrator got buffed in Gen VI to let Crobat hit through Substitutes. Take advantage of this by making Crobat into a stallbreaker. Fly is too unreliable and predictable: -Brave Bird -Taunt -U-turn/Toxic -Roost Nature: Jolly EVs: 120 HP/136 Atk/252 Spe Item: Black Sludge Ability: Infiltrator Note that Choice Band leaves Scizor locked into one move while it's in battle, so Swords Dance and Choice Band should be separate: -U-turn -Bullet Punch -Brick Break -Pursuit/Quick Attack Nature: Adamant EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 SDef Item: Choice Band Ability: Technician or -Swords Dance -Bullet Punch -X-Scissor -Brick Break Nature: Adamant EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe Item: Life Orb Ability: Technician |
