As the title suggests I am currently needing help with suggestions for my team, I already have pokemon in the team (5) yet I am stuck between many others to complete the team. I will lay out the movesets for each and why I chose them, but I will not lay out the EVs, IVs etc as I have not bred them yet.
Sableye @ Sablenite
Magic Bounce
- Dark pulse
- Calm mind
- Recover
- Will-O-Wisp
I chose sableye as my magic bounce lead to counter any entry hazards however also functions as a pseudo-special sweeper with calm mind.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Aegislash @ Leftovers
Stance Change
- Kings Shield
- Swords Dance
- Iron Head
- Sacred Sword
Aegislash is mainly there to make people afraid to use physical attacks and forces switch ins to special attacks (should I bother with pursuit then?) and also serves as a counter to fairy types Sableye is weak to. From experience I have found Aegislash to be very effective, often being able to cripple most teams without barely taking a scratch.
-------------------------------------------------------
Thundurus @ Life Orb
Prankster
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
- Thunder Wave
- Nasty Plot
Thundurus is my primary special sweeper and cripples revenge killers and fast sweepers.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Skarmory @ Leftovers
Sturdy
- Spikes
- Toxic
- Roost
- Aerial Ace (perhaps stealth rock?)
Acts as a defensive wall, I will most likely switch in on sableye when pressured to nullify threats from fairy types and to also set up entry hazards.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Talonflame @ ???
Gale Wings
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Flare Blitz
- Swords Dance
Primarily a revenge killer however is also my go to physical sweeper, I am unsure of what item to give to it since a choice band would make it more difficult to set-up swords dance, I also considered a Charti Berry with acrobatics however that would be a very niche moveset.
--------------
I am unsure of what to put into my final slot, I have some suggestions such as:
Azumarill @ Leftovers/ Sitrus Berry
Huge Power
- Aqua Jet
- Belly Drum
- Substitute
- Play Rough
A bulky physical sweeper also used as an answer to fire types which threaten both skarmory and aegislash.
Tangrowth @ Leftovers
Regenerator
- Knock off
- Substitute
- Giga Drain
- Earthquake
Physical wall and staller however skarmory is more effective defensively.
Goodra @ Leftovers
Sap Sipper
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
Special defensive wall and overall coverage to act as a switch in to counter other pokemons weaknesses.
Blissey @ leftovers
Serene Grace
- Thunderbolt
- Soft Boiled
- Toxic
- Heal Bell
Another special defensive wall and cleric, very niche again due to poor physical defense
I would greatly appreciate suggestions about switching pokemon around in the team and what to put in the final slot.
