Hi, can I request a team, too? :). Not many requirements, but er.. It has to be decent in competetive battling. Also, no ubers, or legendaries (I'm against those... for some reason).
A Metagross is welcome.
No: Gengar, Breloom, Exploud, Umbreon, Espeon or Smeargle.
.......No Umbreon. You're lame :P j/k Not much to go with, but I'll see what I can do. I might have to edit in a little bit, as I have to go to class in a few minutes.
Sceptile (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Overgrow
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Leaf Blade
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
Beats most common starters, and isn't a legendary =/. Also annoys special walls to no end. Add 64 more HP EVs if you like. Zapdos truly belongs here.
Metagross @ Choice Band
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 112 HP / 252 Atk / 108 Def / 36 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Meteor Mash
- Sludge Bomb
Excuse me for being horrible with Metagross EVs, but 252 Atk is standard.
Weezing (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 40 Atk / 180 Def / 36 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Haze
- Pain Split
- Sludge Bomb
- Will-O-Wisp / Flamethrower
I now understand the importance of just a few SDef EVs, but I still see no point in speed. Flamethrower might be a bit more beneficial in this case. For that you'll need a few SAtk EVs.
Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP / 120 Def / 88 SAtk / 60 SDef
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Hydro Pump / Surf
- Ice Beam
- Protect
You can also use Counter over the second slot, and use this spread:
240 HP / 16 Atk / 212 Def / 40 SDef with Sassy. There's also that Curse moveset, but I rarely use/suggest it.
Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 HP / 56 Atk / 60 Def / 140 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Curse
- Earthquake
- Rest
- Return
Fears nothing but Weezing and Gengar.
Starmie @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 140 HP / 166 Spd / 212 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Rapid Spin
- Recover
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
Doesn't fit on this team, but you need a rapid Spinner, and claydol is redundant for that job.
Still decent though. Needs Zapdos mostly.
edit: E4, Amnesia lax fails. It's a special sponge ffs. It doesn't need Amnesia. It's not even weak to any kind of special attack.
Can i request a team which includes Zangoose for the battle frontier thank youu :]
Zangoose (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Immunity
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Brick Break / Quick Attack
- Return / Slash / Body Slam
- Shadow Ball
- Swords Dance
You can also use Choice Band and put QA over Swords Dance, but in the Frontier, I realized that with only 1-2 other pokemon to switch over to, that's not the greatest idea at most times.
Gardevoir (M) @ Lum Berry / Leftovers
Trait: Trace / Synchronize
EVs: 108 HP / 204 Spd / 196 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Hypnosis
- Psychic
- Thunderbolt
Random EVs.
Swampert (M) @ Leftovers / Chesto Berry
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 172 HP / 88 Atk / 140 Def / 108 SDef
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Curse
- Earthquake
- Rest
- Rock Slide / Ice Beam / Hydro Pump / Surf
Once again, random EVs.
I know that Swampert's a bit of a hassle, but tat's all i could think of for a frontier team. I diversified the items since that item clause is there.
