critique my team?
So I wanted to raise a team from the VERY start of Moon version but need some help designing a team for both the story and wifi battles, here's my team so far, please tell me what else works:
Decidueye (shiny female) Leaf Blade Spirit Shackle Sucker Punch U-Turn Item: Decidium Z IV: ATK, SPE, HP EV: 252 ATK, 252 SPE, 4 HP Mimikyu (female) Shadow Claw Shadow Sneak Swords Dance Play Rough IV: ATK, SpD, Spe EV: 252 ATK, 252 Spe, 4 SpD Item: Life Orb Mawile Play Rough Iron Head Crunch Thunder Punch IV: Atk, Def EV: 252 ATK, 252 Def Item: Mawilite Anything good with these 3? I'm open to suggestions regarding a Mega tho, preferably NOT Mega Slowbro. |
Anything works in game, to be honest. You don't need to worry about IVs and EVs when you're playing through the game. Also, you haven't told us what their natures are, because it will affect your Pokemon in the long run. If that Mimikyu is Modest, for instance, or the Decidueye is Lax, then you'll have to go back to the drawing board. But if there's anything to go by, your Mawile's EVs are bad - just because it has max IVs in Attack and Defense it doesn't mean you EV in them - to survive longer, Mawile needs EVs in HP. With what you've got now, one special attack and your Mawile is dead, and it won't be able to fight back due to its middling Speed. Speaking of which, I don't see why it's got Crunch - it's best replaced with Sucker Punch.

Their natures are: Decidueye is Jolly and Mimikyu is Adamant |
Normal battle rules allow all Pokemon to be above level 50 to become level 50, so level grinding doesn't matter. All that matters is the EV training. Therefore, the Tapus are fair game.
I'd rather have just Mimikyu and Mawile together because Decidueye is outclassed by other Ghost Pokemon like Alolan Marowak and Gengar, as well as Mimikyu itself due to its middling Speed: Mimikyu: -Swords Dance -Shadow Claw -Play Rough -Shadow Sneak Nature: Jolly/Adamant EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Ghostium Z Mawile is better off with this set: -Play Rough -Sucker Punch -Thunder Punch -Fire Fang Nature: Adamant EVs: 92 HP/252 Atk/164 Spe Item: Mawilite Ability: Intimidate/Hyper Cutter The Speed investment allows Mawile to outspeed 0 Speed Skarmory, even under level 50 rules. Fire Fang is for Ferrothorn and Scizor, even if it means having to breed for it. Mawile's Speed is terrible, so it needs Sucker Punch to stand a chance against offensive teams. |

-Thunderbolt -Hidden Power (Ice)/Dazzling Gleam -U-turn -Taunt/Volt Switch Nature: Timid EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Magnet/Zap Plate As I mentioned before, you don't need to worry about levels too much if you're playing Normal/Flat battle rules. Magnezone is also worth considering in order to remove problem Steel Pokemon for Mimikyu. Be sure to take your pick between either that or Koko: -Thunderbolt -Volt Switch -Flash Cannon -Hidden Power (Fire) Nature: Modest/Timid EVs: 140 HP/192 SAtk/176 Spe (Assault Vest) or 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe (Choice Specs) Item: Assault Vest/Choice Specs Ability: Magnet Pull Mimikyu doesn't have the best Speed out there, so Smeargle or Shuckle can set up Sticky Web to slow down grounded Pokemon: Smeargle: -Sticky Web -Stealth Rock -Skill Swap -Taunt/Memento Nature: Timid EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 Spe Item: Focus Sash Ability: Own Tempo Shuckle: -Sticky Web -Stealth Rock -Encore -Knock Off/Infestation/Toxic Nature: Bold/Impish EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef Item: Mental Herb Ability: Sturdy Ash-Greninja is also a strong wallbreaker when paired with Mawile: -Hydro Pump -Dark Pulse -Water Shuriken -U-turn/Spikes/Ice Beam/Taunt Nature: Timid EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Choice Specs/Mystic Water/Splash Plate Ability: Battle Bond Wash Rotom is also worth considering to cover for Mawile's weaknesses and another method of getting Mawile in safely: -Volt Switch -Hydro Pump -Will-o-Wisp -Pain Split Nature: Bold EVs: 248 HP/200 Def/60 Spe Item: Leftovers |
