Mono Fire Team
Ok, So my friend streams pokemon and he wants to do like a Gym League thing for their viewers, but they want certain people to be the gym leaders with each gym being a certain type obviously. I've been asked to run a Fire type gym. Now i have battled myself and have my OWN team but it's not a mono type team. So i'm wondering if i can get any kind of advice in running a mono fire team.
I have an idea of who i want to use (Ninetales, Rotom Heat, Talonflame, Chandelure and Volcarona with either Charizard X or Blaziken as a Mega) but it's set-ups/IVs/EV spread/Items etc that i'd like thoughts on. Anyone able to advise me this??? |
Just give us the sets you intend to use with each and we'll work on it from there.

Ninetales:
Flamethrower/Fire Blast/Overheat Solarbeam Nasty Plot/Dark Pulse/Calm Mind Will-O-Wisp/Extrasenory/Psyshock Item: Heat Rock Ability: Drought Nature: Modest/Timid Effort Points: 252 Special Attack, 252 Speed, 4 Hit Points/Defense/Special Defense |
This is my thought on the members i want to use.
*Ninetales (Timid) (Drought) (Heat Rock) -Nasty Plot. Solar Beam. Flamethrower. Hypnosis. *Rotom Heat (Calm) (Light Clay) -Will-O-Wisp. Overheat. Thunderbolt. Light Screen. *Talonflame (Adamant) (Gale Wings) (Life Orb) -Tailwind. Brave Bird. Roost. Flare Blitz. *Chandelure (Modest) (Infiltrator) (Choice Scarf) -Trick. Shadow Ball. Fire Blast. Energy Ball. *Volcarona (Calm) (Flame Body) (Leftovers) -Quiver Dance. Bug Buzz. Roost. Heat Wave. Apart from them i'm stuck between a Mega Charizard X or Mega Blaziken and/or set-ups for them. |

Since Ninetales is supposed to be the most important member of the team and the main priority is trying to maintain it to set up Drought again when needed, it's better off being defensive: -Flamethrower -Will-o-Wisp -Rest -Sleep Talk Nature: Calm EVs: 248 HP/120 SDef/136 Spe Item: Heat Rock Ability: Drought Light Clay is only effective for Pokemon that use both Reflect and Light Screen, IMO. Your Heat Rotom set lacks reliable recovery, so drop it for Pain Split. Tl;dr: -Volt Switch -Overheat -Will-o-Wisp -Pain Split/Rest Nature: Bold EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef Item: Leftovers/Chesto Berry However, Heatran is a better option for a defensive Fire Pokemon because of its Stealth Rock neutrality; however, you can still use Wash Rotom if you want for the Ground immunity: -Stealth Rock -Lava Plume -Toxic -Taunt/Protect/Roar Nature: Calm EVs: 248 HP/192 SDef/68 Spe Item: Leftovers Life Orb makes Talonflame worn down even faster in conjunction with its recoil-inducing STABs: -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 -Flare Blitz -Brave Bird -U-turn -Steel Wing/Tailwind Nature: Jolly/Adamant EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe Item: Choice Band Ability: Gale Wings However, if you're playing Smogon monotype, Talonflame is banned. Arcanine or Infernape make decent substitutes, as both can help against Heatran, which you struggle with. Consider them for any other substitutions you might want to make: Arcanine: -Flare Blitz -Extreme Speed -Wild Charge -Close Combat/Crunch Nature: Jolly/Adamant EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe Item: Life Orb Ability: Intimidate/Flash Fire Infernape: -Fire Blast/Flare Blitz -Close Combat -Gunk Shot/ -Grass Knot/Hidden Power (Ice)/Thunder Punch Nature: Naive EVs: 100 HP/156 SAtk/252 Spe or 188 Atk/68 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb A Calm nature is a waste on Volcarona, since it has a decent Speed to use Quiver Dance with. Heat Wave is outclassed by Fire Blast in singles, as Fire Blast is stronger and still decently accurate: -Quiver Dance -Fire Blast/Hidden Power (Ground) -Bug Buzz -Giga Drain Nature: Timid EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe Item: Passho Berry/Lum Berry Ability: Flame Body If you're playing Smogon monotype, (Mega) Blaziken is banned as well. However, if you're not, feel free to use it. It brings another Stealth Rock neutrality. It also helps against Heatran: -Flare Blitz -High Jump Kick -Knock Off/Stone Edge/Protect -Swords Dance/Protect Nature: Adamant EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe Item: Blazikenite Ability: Speed Boost If you want to use Charizard X, here are the sets to use. It makes for a neat physical attacker, and using Earthquake on it still helps against Heatran: -Dragon Dance -Flare Blitz -Dragon Claw -Roost Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe Item: Charizardite X Ability: Blaze or -Flare Blitz -Dragon Claw/Earthquake -Will-o-Wisp -Roost Nature: Impish EVs: 248 HP/100 Def/160 Spe Item: Charizardite X Ability: Blaze or -Swords Dance -Flare Blitz -Dragon Claw/Outrage -Tailwind/Roost Nature: Adamant EVs: 40 HP/252 Atk/216 Spe Item: Charizardite X Ability: Blaze |
Thankyou for the advice PlatinumDude.
