Neutral natures like Hardy don't do Pokemon any favors, as while they don't lower stats, they don't increase stats, either. Also, EVs are more important than having raw stats.
Ferrothorn is massive Taunt bait with its current set. If you really want to set up sandstorm, use Tyranitar or Hippowdon, as they set that weather up automatically with their Sand Stream ability. Leech Seed is all Ferrothorn needs if it wants to inflict passive damage: -Stealth Rock/Spikes -Leech Seed -Power Whip/Protect -Gyro Ball/Thunder Wave Nature: Relaxed EVs: 252 HP/88 Def/168 SDef Item: Leftovers Ability: Iron Barbs The above is the standard Ferrothorn set, but since you're using Sand Rush Excadrill, use Tyranitar or Hippowdon as your Stealth Rock setter instead: Tyranitar: -Stealth Rock -Stone Edge -Crunch/Fire Blast/Ice Beam -Pursuit Nature: Relaxed EVs: 248 HP/80 Def/180 SDef Item: Leftovers/Smooth Rock Ability: Sand Stream Hippowdon: -Stealth Rock -Earthquake -Stone Edge/Toxic/Whirlwind -Slack Off Nature: Impish EVs: 252 HP/144 Def/112 SDef Item: Leftovers Ability: Sand Stream While Sand Force seems tempting to increase Excadrill's power further, it's still not that fast. Its average Speed is why Sand Rush is the preferred ability when it's paired with sandstorm inducers. Rock Slide is literally the only coverage move Excadrill needs, as it has good coverage with Earthquake and allows Excadrill to hit Talonflame, a Pokemon that walls its current moves, on the switch: -Earthquake -Iron Head -Rock Slide -Rapid Spin Nature: Adamant/Jolly EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Air Balloon Ability: Sand Rush Use max Attack/max Speed as Talonflame's EV spread. Mega Swampert must be paired with Politoed to make the most out of its Swift Swim ability. Since this isn't a rain team, Mega Swampert isn't an option. You're better off giving the Mega slot to Garchomp, since it's already paired with Tyranitar/Hippowdon: -Swords Dance -Dragon Claw -Earthquake -Fire Blast Nature: Jolly EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe Item: Garchompite or -Draco Meteor -Earthquake -Fire Blast -Stealth Rock/Stone Edge Nature: Naive EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Garchompite Now this team needs a Water resistance. Slowbro, Azumarill, Amoonguss, or Tangrowth are good substitutes: Slowbro: -Scald -Psyshock/Calm Mind -Thunder Wave -Slack Off Nature: Bold EVs: 252 HP/232 Def/24 SDef Item: Leftovers Ability: Regenerator Azumarill: -Waterfall -Play Rough -Aqua Jet -Knock Off/Superpower Nature: Adamant EVs: 164 HP/252 Atk/92 Spe (Choice Band) or 240 HP/252 Atk/16 SDef (Assault Vest) Item: Choice Band/Assault Vest Ability: Huge Power or -Belly Drum -Aqua Jet -Play Rough -Knock Off Nature: Adamant EVs: 92 HP/252 Atk/164 Spe Item: Sitrus Berry Ability: Huge Power Primeape outright sucks in competitive play. Yes, it has a decent move pool, but it seriously struggles against bulky Ghost Pokemon. As this is a sand team, Toxic Orb Breloom is a decent fit to help check Water Pokemon more easily and set up with Swords Dance to hit harder: -Swords Dance -Seed Bomb -Superpower/Drain Punch -Facade/Mach Punch Nature: Jolly EVs: 12 HP/244 Atk/252 Spe Item: Toxic Orb Ability: Poison Heal |

I forgot to say where they were ev'ed. Ferrothorn both defenses Excadrill Hp Attack Talonflame speed attack Swampert both defenses Primeape attack speed Garchomp attack speed For ferrothorn I was trying to get something that could sit back and take alot and let the opponent fall to toxic and leech seed. I'm open to suggestions. Excadrill I wanted something wither for rapid spin or defog the can use the move without dying from the hit takes. Again open to suggestions. Swampert hasn't impressed me. Mega Garchomp didn't impress me either when I tried it. Kind of lost on what mega to use or.maybe a different poke altogether. Primeape seems good for Breloom spore focus punch sub abusers. Ice punch kills most dragons that are paired with ground and flying for 4x. Gunk shot 2hkos clef able and sylvion. I couldn't get Breloom to work back when I used it . Still open to suggestions. |
