We could use Mega Absol I guess. It bugs me that it's made of glass but oh well they want some creativity and at least it has Magic Bounce.
And idk pair it with Excadrill or Starmie and throw in a Talonflame or something? |
I suppose, there won't be other suggestions. Can we get a poll or something? That way we can at least decide what mon to build around.
|
M'kay, there's now a poll up with the 3 megas mentioned so far. Let's see how this goes....
|
Just saying that in case of no real victor in the poll, our clan head might as well decide by a coin flip who we build around :)
|
Mega Absol it is. Next thing would be deciding on which set we want to use. We basically have to choose between a physical one or a mixed attacker.
Opinions? |
A mixed set sounds nice to me.

Absol @ Absolite
Ability: Justified EVs: 252 Atk / 32 SpA / 224 Spe Jolly / Naive Nature - Sucker Punch - Knock Off - Fire Blast / Ice Beam / Pursuit - Superpower That's pretty much the basic layout of the All-Out Attacker set. If we go mixed, Pursuit is pretty much out of question. Fire Blast is for the likes of Ferrothorn and Skarmory and Ice Beam for Lando-T and Gliscor. There's also options like Thunderbolt (for stuff like Azumarill). So, what are we going for? |

Stuff. Figured I might as well throw that out. Just some unfinished garbage, tbh., but since I figured that I might not even finish that stuff anyway, since I can't really find any sort of motivation, because I'm just a depressed piece of shit, I'll just show what I threw together. There's no real explanation to all the stuff, because I don't really feel like it and like I said, it's not even finished. <_< |
I mean hey it's a start, and we kinda needed to get working on this anyway. It's not like you needed to make a finished team anyway since it's a clan thing that we're all supposed to contribute to.
I do like Toxicroak because the Water immunity is hella nice and it means we get a good Fairy check without resorting to a Steel type plus it gets Drain Punch to help it live longer in addition to water healing. It's also not a usual OU 'mon so there's that too n_n I would actually change Talonflame to a set with Taunt over Will-o-Wisp so it breaks stall better, which the team needs (could also run a different EV spread to give more offensive presence, maybe). Gonna need a spinner though because of the bird and hazard damage is no fun to have to keep taking over the course of the match. |
The main issue that I have is that it's supposed to be an offensive core that breaks down defensive mons, yet it struggels with MSab, which is pretty much the embodiment of defensive. Also, since the core isn't all that bulky, offensive pressure kinda seems more important, making Hazard Removal potentially more of a hindrance. I'd actually prefer to not having to use TFlame at all. Not because I don't like it, but rather because of Rocks and stuff.
One of the good things about Toxicroak is that it also deals with Azumarill, which is usually one of the big threats to offensive teams. |

Not my proudest creation but I'm at the point where I don't give a crap. Do whatever you want with it, change it, leave it as is, create something completely different, or keep ignoring everything; see if I care. No matter what you do, I think I've done enough for this "team work project" and you'll probably be able to deal with everything else. I'm gonna take a break at least until the next season starts. Maybe I get some motivation to deal with you people again. Yadayadarantrantimoutcyalaterblabla. I'm gonna play some Smash or something... |
So made a few modifications to the version of the team RF posted:
Spoiler:
Yes there's no 6th 'mon, but that can just be filled with a Scarfer or something. Can go with Garchomp like in RF's version, or something else. Was kinda hoping that some of the rest of you could perhaps pitch ideas for the final slot..... |

Contacted aeternum already, we're planning our format currently!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not questioning your decision. It's just a clarification thing, because I always have a feeling special EV spreads are special for a reason. |

Alright, so I had my battles with Noa and my main thoughts are:
The first battle was the best out of the three, because I managed to spot a weakness on my opponents team and I managed to make use of it. There were definitely missplays involved on both my and my opponets end. The second battle was a complete desaster. Not only did I have not a single clue what I was doing, I kept on doing stupid plays and ended up losing. It shows that I have to practice a lot. The third battle was somewhat of a mixed bag. My opponent used the same team from the second battle, so I already knew what sets he was running, which somewhat gave me an advantage. At the same time, I never used the team that I was using (which is totally my fault, I know), so I suppose that somewhat made up for it. Again, a lot of missplays from my side, but not as severe as in the second battle. It basically boils down to me needing more practice experience. |
Anyone interested into building a team around Hoopa-C? With that recent suspect around Hoopa-U I've seen a couple people on the forums starting to talk about it and how it might be a decent replacement, despite its more apparent weaknesses. I can see building a team with it as somewhat of a fun activity and it would even be useful in case they decide to ban Hoopa-U.
|
It could make a decent Hoopa Unbound replacement I guess. Same bulk stat wise and Ghost STAB is about as good as Dark STAB in this gen, base 150 Sp.Attack is really good (especially with Specs/Nasty Plot), isn't 4x U-turn weak (though is 4x Dark weak) Would have to be special-only probably though since base 110 Attack is kinda eh. It's also slightly slower than the Unbound version but base 70 is still enough for slow walls and stuff.
I wouldn't really know how to go about building a Hoopa-C team though..... |
