This is a team made entirely out of basic Pokemon. And by "basic", I mean the ones that evolve. I don't mean those that don't evolve and are powerful because of that. Meaning, I can't use Skarmory, etc. Also, I'm not using Pre-evos. (For example: I'm not using Tyrogue since it's a Pre-evo. And I'm not using the Hitmons since they are unenvolving Basic Pokes. Understand now?) And so, without further ado, my ALL BASIX TEAM:
Larvitar @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
Trait: Guts
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Crunch Taunt/Substitute
- Dragon Dance
Physical Sweeper obviously. Since its speed is low anyway, I went for Brave. A few DDs will solve that problem.
Nyah, that Crunch is pointless, really, just take a support move and make it Adamant. Also, there's no need for that much Speed if you're going to DD buf, divert some of it to HP.
Abra @ Brightpowder Leftovers/Lum Berry
EVs: 252 Def / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Modest Timid Nature
Trait: Synchronize
- Psychic
- Fire Punch
- Ice Punch
- Thunderpunch
Abra's got incredible SAtk and Spd for a basic evolving Pokemon. I'm loving this thing. :D
Brightpowder sucks, period, and using it is N00Bish with a big, green, capital 'N'. Go with Leftovers in case it survives special attacks or Lum Berry to take random status hits. Also, Timid over Modest since it needs to be fast enough to land its hits. Ghastly does a better job at this imo.
Skitty @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 Def / 252 SDef / 4 HP
Impish Nature
Trait: Cute Charm
- Heal Bell
- Wish
- Shadow Ball
- Attract
Wisher-cleric in one. I would've used Chansey, but the combo of Wish and Aromatherapy is illegal. I know this thing is way too fragile for its own good, but I tried to keep it all on one Poke.
Bleah, bad poke, horrible poke. Don't use it, please...better alternatives suggested below.
Staryu @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Def
Calm Nature
Trait: Natural Cure
- Surf / Light Screen
- Cosmic Power
- Toxic
- Rest
Physical and Special Wall in one. Toxistaller too! ^_^ I love it.
Wtf? Okay, this thing is nothing but a bad joke...seriously. Just ditch it.
Shroomish @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Bold Nature
Trait: Effect Spore
- Spore
- Swagger Substitute/Swords Dance
- Leech Seed
- Giga Drain/Sludge Bomb
Haha... SporeSeed, SporeSwagger. Then, while the enemy Poke's got maximized attack while asleep, I combo it with...
Hahahaa...nope, Swagger sucks so bad that it ain't even funny, and thinking that your opponent actually won't switch out is just plain ridiculous. .___. Sub for stalling please, although I've also seen this thing dish out some decent damage with SD and Sludge Bomb. Also, rethink your EV spread, please, no Sp.Attack means that Giga Drain won't really do crap, and having only 4 SDef EVs is asking for a sweep.
Psyduck @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Naive Nature
Trait: Cloud Nine
- Psych Up Calm Mind
- Cross Chop Surf
- Aerial Ace Ice Beam/Hidden Power [Grass]
- Hypnosis
Copy the maximized Atk of the enemy caused by Shroom's Swagger, Hypnotize when necessary, and kill. Harhar... I've not tested this team yet, but I'm having fun just thinking about it.
Swagger + Psych Up is a pathetic combo even on one poke, but spreading it across two is taking it to an all new level of suckiness. Don't do it, just dont. T_T CM sweep for the win. Also...those EVs are just bleah. Actually, Psyduck in itself isn't such a bright move.
Rate, onegai. :D

Lots of weak pokémon, bad strategy, and horrible EVs. This team wouldn't last for long against anyone who knows what they're doing, not even if they played with the same restrictions as you. Better first forms include:
Trapinch @ Choice Band
Nature: Adamant
Trait: Arena Trap
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 Def
Earthquake
Rock Slide
Hidden Power [Bug]
Quick Attack
Trap and kill, with a base Attack as high as Flygon's and Arena Trap to boot this virile beast is among the most formidable CB sweepers of the NU metagame.
Clamperl @ Deepseatooth
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 Satk, rest in HP and Defense
Surf
Ice Beam
Hidden Power [Grass]
Sleep Talk
or
Clamperl @ Deepseascale
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP, everything else split among Def and SDef, possibly with a bit of SAtk
Surf
Toxic
Rest
Sleep Talk
Clamperl is one of the best unevolveds out there, I can't believe you didn't use this one. T_T With Deepseatooth it has the highest SAtk in the game, making it a very dangerous spec. sweeper if you pass along a few shots of Agility or paralyze your opponents beforehand and with Deepseascale it become a tough walling type.
Ghastly @ Leftovers/Lum Berry/Salac Berry
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Thunderbolt
Hidden Power [Ice/Fire]
Giga Drain
Destiny Bond/Hypnosis
Yay Ghastly, with its high Speed and SAtk it's also near the top of the pack as far as unevolveds are concerned and although it lacks the punches that its evolved forms get, a suitable Hidden Power makes a decent substitution.
Cubone @ Thick Club
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 Def
Earthquake/Bone Rush
Rock Slide
Hidden Power [Bug]
Swords Dance/Focus Punch
Wannabe Marowak.
Meditite @ Choice Band
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Hi Jump Kick
Shadow Ball
Rock Slide/Hidden Power [Rock]
Fake Out
Lil' Medicham, Pure Power + STAB Hi Jump Kick still rocks.
Pikachu @ Light Ball
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Thunderbolt
Surf
Hidden Power [Ice/Gras]
Wish/Thunder Wave
We all know it, we all hate it, but unevolveds don't get much stronger than this. Light Ball and a full special arsenal combined with Pikachu's high Speed means lots of pain of your opponent.
And of course...
Chansey @ Leftovers
Nature: Bold
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Seismic Toss
Ice Beam/Thunder Wave
Softboiled/Wish
Aromatherapy/Heal Bell/Counter
Meh, just pick clericing or Wish, this team still needs the walling presence.
For physical walling, may I suggest...
Onix @ Leftovers
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Atk
Earthquake
Rock Slide
Roar
Rest/Explosion
It doesn't have much HP, so the more Def it has the more hits it can take. If you go with Explosion you could also try diverting some Defense to Attack.
Omanyte could also work for walling, and Duskull might not be too shabby either. Whatever the case, I'd say drop Psyduck and Skitty at the very least (Perhaps Larvitar as well), I've provided plenty of more formidable options.
