Mono-Dark
Alright, so my ideal team consists of Mightyena/Umbreon/Hydreigon/Absol/Zoroark/Bisharp (all male).
I'm well aware that's probably a poor structure/variety in terms of competitive, but I want to make them work nevertheless; I don't want to use Pokémon that aren't my favourites regardless of how well they do and how many people use them. Currently breeding for a 5/6IV Calm Eevee w/ Wish so I can get the Synchronize Umbreon. Anyway, I was wondering what everyone thinks each of those Pokémon should be like to be at their 'best'. Nature, ability, what IV should be skipped out (as I can't see me bothering to try for 6), what EVs should I train them in, movesets, etc. I don't want suggestions on what other Pokémon to use as I'm dead-set on using this team no matter what. I just wanna see how well, and how, I can make them work. I'm not a strategist in the slightest but I do want them performing at their best. |
Is this Gen V or VI?
Mightyena is TERRIBLE. But if you insist, here's the best it can do: -Sucker Punch -Crunch -Substitute -Taunt/Toxic Nature: Jolly/Adamant EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe Item: BlackGlasses/Lum Berry Ability: Moxie Umbreon can't do much offensively back at the opponent, but it can provide support: -Wish -Protect -Foul Play (Gen V)/Payback (Gen VI) -Heal Bell/Toxic/Yawn Nature: Careful EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SDef Item: Leftovers Ability: Synchronize Hydreigon's movepool is wide, and you should take advantage of that fact: Gen V sets: -Draco Meteor -Fire Blast -Superpower -Dark Pulse/Earth Power/Earthquake/Roost Nature: Rash/Mild EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Expert Belt or -Substitute -Dragon Pulse -Focus Blast -Fire Blast/Roost Nature: Modest EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Leftovers/Life Orb or -Draco Meteor -Fire Blast/Flamethrower -Focus Blast -U-turn/Dark Pulse Nature: Modest EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Choice Specs Gen VI set: -Draco Meteor -Dark Pulse -Flash Cannon -Roost/Fire Blast/Focus Blast Nature: Modest EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe Item: Life Orb Note that Absol gained a Mega Evolution in Gen VI; this Mega Evolution has Magic Bounce, which reflects status moves back at the opponent. If this is Gen V, use these: -Sucker Punch -Superpower -Night Slash -Fire Blast/Pursuit Nature: Naughty/Adamant EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Dread Plate/BlackGlasses Ability: Super Luck or -Swords Dance -Sucker Punch -Superpower -Night Slash Nature: Adamant/Jolly EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Lum Berry Ability: Super Luck Gen VI: -Sucker Punch -Pursuit/Night Slash -Play Rough -Fire Blast Nature: Naive EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Absolite Ability: Super Luck (changed to Magic Bounce when it Mega Evolves) or -Swords Dance -Sucker Punch/Night Slash -Play Rough -Fire Blast Nature: Naive EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Absolite Ability: Super Luck Zoroark doesn't do well in Gen VI compared to Gen V, but here goes: -Sucker Punch -Focus Blast -Flamethrower/Hidden Power (Ice) -Dark Pulse/Night Daze Nature: Naughty EVs: 252 Atk/40 SAtk/216 Spe Item: Life Orb or -Nasty Plot -Dark Pulse/Night Daze -Flamethrower -Focus Blast Nature: Timid EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash In Gen VI, Bisharp gained the notability of being the only Steel Pokemon that still resists Ghost and Dark; it's also another way to deal with Fairies: Gen V: -Swords Dance -Sucker Punch -Iron Head/Low Kick -Substitute Nature: Adamant EVs: 52 HP/252 Atk/204 Spe Item: Leftovers Ability: Defiant Gen VI: -Swords Dance -Sucker Punch -Iron Head -Night Slash/Substitute Nature: Adamant EVs: 124 HP/252 Atk/132 Spe Item: Dread Plate/BlackGlasses/Leftovers/Lum Berry Ability: Defiant |

Haha like I said, I want to make the best out of my ideal team regardless of how bad they do in comp usually. Despite Mightyena being 'terrible', is there any reason why Moxie is better than Intimidate? If Mighty is as bad as they say then surely it wouldn't manage to get the full use of Moxie, seeing as it wouldn't last long enough to sweep anything (in comparison to immediate effect from Intimidate). Was thinking Toxic or Yawn for Umbreon rather than Heal Bell. Might give it Yawn just so Mighty can have Toxic. I've been using a Mega Absol since I got the Absolite and I'm loving its ability, so I'll definitely take advantage of its Mega. It's 3am so I don't have the ability to reply to that whole post right now, but seriously, thank you. I'll look over it again tomorrow when I get back from college. |
