help with my team

[bhavik147]

Hi guys, just got into battling a few months back and have sussed out how iv's and ev's work, kind of made some sort of a team that gets my by some of the time but mostly it just gets wiped out , any suggestions would be helpful, though I would love a semi stall team rather then all sweepers, i also dont have any items for them sorted at this stag, so wud also like help as well.

Here's what I have been going with so far

Tentacruel (Bold) @ Black Sludge 252hp, 252 def and 4spdef
Liquid Ooze
-Rapid Spin
-Protect
-Toxic Spikes
-Scald

Basically a lead and hazard remover, does work well most of the time

Gliscor (Impish) @ poison heal 244hp, 40hp, 224 speed
Immunity
-Protect
-earthquake
-toxic
-roost

Sylveon (Calm) @ pixie plate 252 hp, 252 spdef, 4 def
Cute Charm
-Wish
-Draining Kiss
-Calm Mind
-Toxic

Gengar (Timid) @ Gengarite 252spatt, 252 speed, 4hp
Immunity
-Thunderbolt
-Shadow ball
-Dazzling Gleam
-Sludge Bomb

Scizor (Adamant) @ Scizorite, 252hp, 40att, 216 speed
Technician
-Swords Dance
-Vacuum Wave
-Bullet Punch
-X-Scissor

Garchomp (Jolly) @ no item 252att, 252 speed, 4hp
-Iron Head
-Flamethrower
-Outrage
-Stonedge

Here's a better Tentacruel set to use. It may be better to actually hurt Fairies as opposed to checking them:
-Scald
-Sludge Bomb
-Rapid Spin
-Toxic/Toxic Spikes/Knock Off
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/224 Def/32 Spe
Item: Black Sludge
Ability: Liquid Ooze

Here's a more efficient EV spread for Gliscor: 224 HP/32 Def/232 Spe. This lets it outspeed Mega Garchomp, Therian Landorus and defensive Zapdos.

Draining Kiss is too weak to be even worth considering, despite the healing side effect:
-Wish
-Protect
-Hyper Voice
-Heal Bell/Calm Mind
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/244 Def/12 Spe
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Pixilate

or
-Hyper Voice
-Psyshock
-Shadow Ball
-Hidden Power (Ground)/Echoed Voice
Nature: Modest
EVs: 132 HP/252 SAtk/124 Spe
Item: Choice Specs
Ability: Pixilate

Gengar has a degree of unpredictability; you might as well take advantage of it. Also, it doesn't have Immunity as an ability:
-Shadow Ball
-Sludge Bomb/Thunderbolt
-Focus Blast
-Destiny Bond
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash

or
-Substitute
-Shadow Ball
-Disable/Will-o-Wisp/Pain Split
-Will-o-Wisp/Pain Split/Focus Blast
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Black Sludge/Life Orb

or
-Shadow Ball
-Sludge Bomb
-Focus Blast
-Trick/Thunderbolt/Hidden Power (Ice)
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf

Vacuum Wave runs off of Scizor's poor Special Attack. Don't bother with it at all:
Swords Dance
-Bullet Punch
-Bug Bite/X-Scissor/Knock Off
-Roost
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 HP/40 Atk/220 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Technician

or
-Swords Dance
-Bullet Punch
-Bug Bite/X-Scissor/U-turn
-Knock Off/Superpower
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Leftovers
Ability: Technician

or
-U-turn
-Bullet Punch
-Superpower
-Pursuit/Knock Off
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 SDef
Item: Choice Band
Ability: Technician

Though Iron Head lets Garchomp deal with Fairies, it's not worth it because a 2x Iron Head barely outdamages a neutral STAB Earthquake:
-Swords Dance
-Outrage/Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Fire Fang/Stone Edge
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Lum Berry/Yache Berry

or
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge/Rock Slide
-Fire Blast/Dragon Claw/Dual Chop
Nature: Jolly/Naive
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Band/Choice Scarf

or
-Stealth Rock
-Outrage/Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast/Toxic
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Item: Leftovers/Rocky Helmet
Ability: Rough Skin

or
-Stealth Rock
-Outrage/Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast/Swords Dance
Nature: Naive/Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Lum Berry/Rocky Helmet

 

[Nah]

This is how you do a clerical Slyveon:

-Sylveon w/Leftovers
Nature: Bold
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 252 HP, 244 Defense, 12 Sp.Attack
Moves: Wish, Protect, Heal Bell/Toxic, Hyper Voice

Thunderbolt and Dazzling Gleam sound nice on Gengar, but its better to use Focus Blast and Destiny Bond on it.

Vacuum Wave is useless on Scizor due to its low Sp.Attack and access to Bullet Punch. Replace Vacuum Wave with Roost and put those Speed EVs into Sp.Defense. Also, its generally not a good idea to have 2+ Pokemon holding their mega stones on a team since you can only use one mega evolution per battle.

Garchomp needs Earthquake. Ground STAB is really useful to have, so swap Iron Head with Earthquake. They do roughly the same damage to Fairies anyway:

Neutral STAB Earthquake: 100x1.5=150
Super effective non-STAB Iron Head: 80x2=160

Also, don't use Flamethrower on Garchomp. Jolly cuts its Sp.Attack, and Garchomp doesn't really need special attacks (Mega Garchomp is a different story). Fire Fang or Swords Dance are the better options. Good items for it to use are Focus Sash, Yache/Haban/Roseli Berry, or Choice Band/Scarf.

Oh, dammit, I got ninja'd by Platinum again.

 

[bhavik147]

ahh so many options, thanks guys

Have made the changes to gliscor, garchomp and nearly done with gengar, will i be better of swapping any of the team members out for sumthing better

 

[PlatinumDude]

I didn't see that your Scizor had Scizorite, so here's the EV spread for bulky SD Mega Scizor: Adamant with 248 HP/136 Def/104 SDef/20 Spe.

 

[bhavik147]

hmm im having an issue getting an eevee with hyper voice, could i use sumthing else in its place for a special wall? also are i seem to have 3 sweepers and 3 defensive mons, would i be better off having maybe jst 2 sweepers and an extra tank/wall?

An Eevee with Hyper Voice can be transferred via Poke Transfer from Black 2/White 2, as Hyper Voice is a move tutor there. However, it must have Anticipation as an ability.

Blissey or Clefable make fine substitutes:

-Seismic Toss/Flamethrower
-Toxic/Thunder Wave
-Soft-Boiled
Nature: Bold
EVs: 4 HP/252 Def/252 SDef

-Moonlight/Wish
-Heal Bell/Aromatherapy/Flamethrower/Protect
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/244 Def/12 Spe

Ability: Unaware/Magic Guard

or
-Wish
-Protect
-Moonblast
-Heal Bell/Aromatherapy/Toxic
Nature: Bold/Calm
EVs: 252 HP/244 Def/12 Spe (Bold) or 252 HP/244 Def/12 Spe (Calm)
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Unaware/Magic Guard

or
-Calm Mind
-Moonblast
-Flamethrower
-Soft-Boiled/Moonlight
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/244 Def/12 Spe
Item: Leftovers/Life Orb

Too gimmicky for my tastes. Only Wobbuffet can truly make the most out of it due to Shadow Tag.

 

[bhavik147]

ok all sorted... i think can we hav a battle sumtime to test it out please?
