Competitive team help from pro
Hey guys, need some help figuring out a competitive singles team. Need info on what traits, abilities,items,IVS and moves I'll need. here is what I got so far
Arcanine Item:life orb Extreme speed Wild charge Close combat Flare blitz Gyrados Item:mega Dragon Dance earthquake Waterfall Crunch Venusaur Item:mega Giga drain Leech life Synthesis Sludge bomb And other 3 looking at Garchomp/Flygon Frosloss/Gengar Aggron/metacross/tyranitar (Mostly looking at meta,gengar and garchomp) but what do you guys think would have good synergy ? Thanks so much for any info and help. |
What natures and EV spreads are you using for each of your Pokemon? Those are important too, you know.
Arcanine has good coverage, yes, but it tends to be overshadowed by Talonflame and Heatran, as the former has priority Brave Bird (thanks to Gale Wings) for revenge killing weakened targets, while the latter is rather versatile. Even Infernape is better, as it's not weak to Stealth Rock, is faster (though it's not too fast), and can even go mixed to better handle walls: Heatran: -Stealth Rock -Lava Plume -Toxic -Taunt/Protect/Roar Nature: Calm EVs: 248 HP/192 SDef/68 Spe Item: Leftovers or -Magma Storm -Earth Power -Taunt -Toxic/Solar Beam Nature: Timid EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe Item: Leftovers/Air Balloon/Power Herb or -Fire Blast -Flash Cannon/Stone Edge/Hidden Power (Ice) -Earth Power -Stealth Rock Nature: Timid EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe Item: Air Balloon or -Overheat/Fire Blast -Flash Cannon -Earth Power/Hidden Power (Ice) -Stone Edge/Ancient Power Nature: Timid EVs: 28 HP/252 SAtk/228 Spe Item: Choice Scarf Infernape: -Fire Blast/Flare Blitz -Close Combat -Gunk Shot -Grass Knot/Mach Punch/Hidden Power (Ice) Nature: Naive EVs: 100 Atk/156 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb Talonflame: -Swords Dance -Flare Blitz -Brave Bird/Acrobatics -Roost Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe Item: Sharp Beak/Sky Plate/none Ability: Gale Wings or -Swords Dance -Brave Bird/Acrobatics -Taunt/Will-o-Wisp -Roost Nature: Adamant EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spe Item: Leftovers/none Ability: Gale Wings or -Flare Blitz -Brave Bird -U-turn -Steel Wing/Tailwind Nature: Adamant EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe Item: Choice Band Ability: Gale Wings or -Brave Bird/Acrobatics -Bulk Up/Will-o-Wisp -Taunt/Will-o-Wisp -Roost Nature: Careful EVs: 248 HP/252 SDef/8 Spe Item: Leftovers/none Ability: Gale Wings Take note that you can only Mega Evolve one Pokemon per battle, so having Mega Gyarados and Mega Venusaur on the same team is pointless. Ferrothorn is a better defensive alternative: -Stealth Rock -Leech Seed -Power Whip/Protect -Gyro Ball/Thunder Wave Nature: Relaxed EVs: 252 HP/88 Def/168 SDef Item: Leftovers/Shed Shell/Rocky Helmet Ability: Iron Barbs Froslass is fast, sure, but its offensive presence is lacking; Gengar is just as fast and is stronger. Garchomp outclasses Flygon in every way possible, as the former is stronger and faster. Garchomp: -Stealth Rock -Outrage/Dragon Claw -Earthquake -Fire Blast/Swords Dance Nature: Naive/Jolly EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Lum Berry/Focus Sash/Rocky Helmet or -Swords Dance -Outrage/Dragon Claw -Earthquake -Stone Edge/Substitute Nature: Jolly EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe Item: Lum Berry/Leftovers/Salac Berry or -Stealth Rock -Dragon Tail -Earthquake/Toxic -Fire Blast/Toxic Nature: Impish EVs: 240 HP/176 Def/92 Spe Item: Rocky Helmet Ability: Rough Skin or -Outrage -Earthquake -Stone Edge/Fire Blast -Dragon Claw/Fire Blast Nature: Jolly/Naive EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe Item: Choice Scarf or -Draco Meteor -Earthquake -Stone Edge/Stealth Rock -Fire Blast Nature: Naive EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb Gengar: -Shadow Ball -Sludge Wave/Sludge Bomb -Focus Blast -Taunt/Icy Wind/Destiny Bond/Substitute Nature: Timid EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash/Black Sludge or -Hex -Taunt -Will-o-Wisp -Sludge Wave/Sludge Bomb/Substitute Nature: Timid EVs: 8 HP/248 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Black Sludge You need hazard clearers (Rapid Spin and Defog) on the team, as Talonflame and pre-Mega Gyarados weak to Stealth Rock. Examples are Mandibuzz and Starmie: Mandibuzz: -Foul Play -Taunt/Toxic -Defog/Toxic/Knock Off -Roost Nature: Bold/Impish EVs: 248 HP/136 Def/108 SDef/16 Spe Item: Leftovers Ability: Overcoat Starmie: -Scald -Psyshock/Reflect Type -Rapid Spin -Recover Nature: Timid EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 Spe Item: Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure or -Hydro Pump -Psyshock/Thunderbolt -Ice Beam/Hidden Power (Fire) -Rapid Spin/Recover Nature: Timid EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb Ability: Natural Cure/Analytic |
