Introduction
Just something I felt like making for a bit of fun. Each Pokemon on the team (excluding Hydreigon) is based on a favourite Pokemon of a friend of mine. I tried to make the team balanced in terms of type coverage as well, which wasn't an easy task for me. I think I've done OK though. Anyway, here goes.
Team Overview
Team Breakdown
Team Breakdown
DRAKOW (Hydreigon) (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Mild Nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast
- U-turn / Dark Pulse
Who else to lead the charge than the Overlord himself? Rocking his signature shades, he strikes with awe-inspiring, destructive power! Draco Meteor obliterates pretty much anything that does not resist it, barring a few very dedicated special walls. The blasts of fire and focus provide perfect coverage for him, eliminating any steel type that dares show its face against the Overlord. Finally, U-Turn is a great scout move but this team currently has no Dark Moves on it, so I am tempted to stick Dark Pulse on here just for that extra coverage potential.
RENPUU (Gengar) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Substitute
- Pain Split / Disable
You guys don't know him but he's my best friend! Right hand man and second in command. While I am more inclined to be a front line commander, Renpuu prefers to give the orders behind the scenes, only appearing in combat when an opportune moment presents itself. Shadow Ball and Focus Blast gives near perfect neutral coverage. Substitute and Pain Split allow Renpuu to combat dedicated walls and in this instance, Pain Split is a pseudo attacking move. Disable is also an option though to troll certain Pokemon by making them harmless against Renpuu. threats such as Conkeldurr and Gliscor for example, once disabled are pretty much hopeless against the ghost.
YOSHIKO (Heracross) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Guts
EVs: 76 HP / 236 Atk / 196 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Megahorn
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
Yoshi! A precious friend and currently the only physical attacker on the squad and the only female as well. She is the all rounder in the team, capable of dishing out the hurt and staying alive. Don't let her looks fool you. Get too close and you'll be recoiling in pain from a bone shattering Close Combat! Megahorn is for dual stab and hits incredibly hard too. I wanted to abuse Guts with Rest Talk which is the focus of this set. Mandatory leftovers is mandatory as we all know how much she loves to eat!
VRAI (Omastar) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 104 HP / 252 SAtk / 152 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Shell Smash
My man Vrai! A really cool guy, he is legit amazing. I wanted to go with Scizor here but with Forretress included, Scizor would make a third bug type which I was iffy on. So Omastar it is. Vrai specialises in the mid to end game where a successful Shell Smash seals the deal. The trump card if you will. The ace in the hole. Vrai is especially deadly against Rain Dance teams, where his speed is immediately doubled due to Swift Swim and with Hidden Power Grass, Vrai will be wrecking face.
VAPPY (Vaporeon) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Scald
- Roar
- Protect
- Wish
I've only recently been interacting with Vaporeon. He's a decent bloke and I've been enjoying our little Mario Kart 7 shenanigans together. We do pull off some ridiculous stuff against each other. Vappy serves as the main support for the squad, healing the wounded party members and maintaining team moral. Scald over surf for the chance to burn enemies since the team has no other status moves. Roar disrupts enemy set up sweepers and helps dismantle enemy momentum too. Protect and Wish allow Vappy to heal himself or his team mates too! What a team player!
SPINO (Forretress) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
- Volt Switch
- Gyro Ball
Last but certainly not least, we have Spino! Though I haven't spoken to him much recently (spoke to him today at least) he still remains a decent buddy of mine. In the squad, he is the trap specialist. He lays the traps and disarms the enemies traps. Stealth Rock is the trap of choice since I don't have it anywhere else on the team. Rapid spin is self explanatory. I like Volt Switch to escape from Magnezone as well as just using it to try and maintain battle momentum. Gyro Ball is to hit certain threats for good damage.
Conclusion
All suggestions are welcomed, though I would prefer suggestions to move sets rather than swapping Pokemon around, but feel free to comment on whatever.
