I just started this thing today. I still have a lot to learn - not to mention what held items do......I think I somewhat lack strategy, so any advice will be welcome.
I tried to have attacks of as many elemental types as possible; generally, movesets consist of: STAB moves, one or two moves covering their weaknesses, and the status move (Swords Dance and Dragon Dance) if I think it's necessary.
My team members are:
- Gyarados
- Tyranitar
- Flygon
- Gengar
- Scizor
- Gallade
1. Gyarados
Nature: Adamant
Item: Leftovers
EV: Atk 252 / Spd 232 / Def 26
Movesets:
- Dragon Dance
- Ice Fang
- Outrage
- Waterfall
Gyarados is more fit for Physical attacks, so I am going all-out Physical. Speed is important, but I thought Flying Pokemons generally lack defence, so I decided to give some EV's to Defence.
2. Tyranitar
Nature: Jolly
Item: Muscle Band
EV: Atk 252 / Spd 232 / Def 26
Movesets:
- Aerial Ace
- Crunch
- Stone Edge
- Thunder
Again, another all-out physical one. Aerial Ace and Thunder are for defending against Tyranitar's key weaknesses: fighting and water. Come to think of it, though, I think it's better off to switch Thunder to Thunderpunch....Crunch and Stone Edge have good powers, and I can get the STAB advantage.
3. Flygon
Nature: Quiet
Item: Chesto Berry (probably will change to leftovers)
EV: Sp. Atk 252 / Atk 182 / Spd 76
Movesets:
- Fire Blast
- Outrage
- Draco Meteor
- Earthquake
I wanted Flygon to have both decent Sp. Atk and Atk. Nature goes to boost up Sp. Atk, which is slightly lower than Atk. I was reluctant to sacrifice Spd, but I didn't know which nature would fit for Flygon...(still grasping a hang of this...). I chose attacks with high power (but Draco Meteor as a last resort). Fire Blast hoping to cover the double weakness against Ice.
4. Gengar
Nature: Modest
Item: Leftovers
EV: Sp. Atk 252 / Spd 232 / HP 26
Movesets:
- Destiny Bond
- Shadow Ball
- Sludge Bomb
- Substitute (I am having second-thoughts about this one)
Sludge Bomb to inflict status while giving a decent amount of damage; Shadow Ball to cover Psychic and Ghost types. Destiny Bond in case that Gengar's lower defence causes one-hit KO.
5. Scizor
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Technician
Item: Expert Belt
EV: Atk 252 / Spd 202 / Def 56
Movesets:
- Swords Dance
- Aerial Ace
- Iron Head
- U-turn
I was compelled to have at least one Steel-type Pokemon due to its resistance to many attacks. As for the moveset, I think this is pretty standard. Swords Dance for maximizing Atk. U-turn offers me a way out if I see potential Fire-type attacks; also, whether super-effective or not, with high attack, U-turn can inflict a heavy damage with its high Atk stat.
6. Gallade
Nature: Impish
Item: Leftovers
EV: Atk 252 / Spd 232 / Def 26
Movesets:
- Psycho Cut
- Close Combat
- Swords Dance
- Ice Punch
Another standard set: two STAB moves, one status move, and Ice punch to cover its weakness against flying.
That's all. I am looking forward to enlightening criticism. Thanks!
