First Competitive Team (X/Y)
Since I now can battle online and whatnot, I thought it would be fun to try and build an actual competitive team—a Sun team, to be more specific. I've looked over at Smogon and picked the Pokemon that appealed to me; so far, I have four, and I'm not really sure which two I should add. I'd like to hear suggestions and comments, thank you. =)
Charizard @??? Timid 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe - Flamethrower - SolarBeam - Air Slash - Roost Lilligant @??? Modest 20 Def/252 SpA/40 Sp.Def/196 Spe - Sleep Powder - Giga Drain - Hidden Power Rock - Quiver Dance Arcanine @??? Adamant 72 HP/252 Atk/8 SpD/176 Spe - Flare Blitz - ExtremeSpeed - Wild Charge - Close Combat Salamence (currently a Shelgon, though) @??? Naive 64 HP/192 SpA/252 Spe - Draco Meteor - Dragon Claw (because I can't have Outrage) - Fire Blast - Earthquake I basically just... got the EV spread and moveset from Smogon because I really have no experience. ;w; I'm assuming that I need to make changes in the spread, though, what with the new quirks of this generation. I'm thinking of adding Vaporeon as a Wisher, but I'm not sure if it would be helpful to this team. Help? |
If you intend on making a Sun team, use Charizard Y as one of your Sun setters:
-Fire Blast -SolarBeam -Focus Blast -Roost Nature: Timid EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Charizardite Y or -Flare Blitz -Fire Blast/Overheat -Focus Blast/Brick Break -Hidden Power (Ice)/Earthquake Nature: Lonely/Hasty/Naughty/Naive EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Charizardite Y For Lilligant, just use the standard 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe. What purpose does its current EV spread accomplish? Use Life Orb or Lum Berry as the item. Give Arcanine Life Orb or Expert Belt I dunno how MixMence fares in the XY meta, but try a Dragon Dance set and see how it works for you: -Dragon Dance -Dragon Claw -Earthquake -Fire Blast Nature: Naive EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Lum Berry Stealth Rock is a bane to sun teams, especially yours, so you need a Rapid Spinner like Forretress: Forretress: -Stealth Rock/Spikes -Rapid Spin -Volt Switch -Gyro Ball/Hidden Power (Ice) Nature: Relaxed/Bold EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef Item: Leftovers Ability: Sturdy Also, consider Ninetales or Venusaur as backup Sun inducers: Ninetales: -Rest -Sleep Talk -Flamethrower -Roar/Will-o-Wisp Nature: Calm EVs: 248 HP/228 SDef/28 Spe Item: Heat Rock Ability: Drought or -Flamethrower -Will-o-Wisp -Protect -Roar Nature: Calm EVs: 248 HP/228 SDef/28 Spe Item: Heat Rock Ability: Drought or -Fire Blast -SolarBeam -Sunny Day (in the event another weather inducer switches in) -Hidden Power (Ice)/Nasty Plot Nature: Modest EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Heat Rock Ability: Drought Venusaur: -Sunny Day/Growth -Giga Drain -Sludge Bomb/Sleep Powder -Hidden Power (Fire) Nature: Modest EVs: 40 HP/252 SAtk/216 Spe Item: Life Orb/Black Sludge Ability: Chlorophyll |
