Hello, I thought I'd post here before going through the troublesome process of breeding/trading. As you'll see I'm heavily biased when choosing my Pokemon *looks at 3 Grass-types*, but I am not on my way to becoming a champion or something, so please help me get the best out of these Pokemon. If I lack some coverage I oversaw, please say so. Thank you for reading.
Jumpluff@Big Root
Jolly ~ 252 Spd 158 HP 100 Def
Ability: Chlorophyll
Leech Seed
Reflect / Encore / Aromatherapy / Sunny Day
Stun Spore
U-turn
I usually try to incorporate Reflect and Light Screen into my teams, but I somehow failed here. I can't decide what to put in slot 2; Aromatherapy can only be used by Jumpluff and he is fast enough to set a safe Sunny Day (unlike Victreebel). Halp!
Azumarril@Chesto Berry
Adamant ~ 252 HP 252 Atk 6 SpDef
Ability: Huge Power
Belly Drum
Brick Break
Rest
Waterfall
Equipped with Chesto Berry to avoid obvious death. Is this build viable?
Umbreon @ Leftovers
Sassy ~ 252 SpDef 252 HP 6 Atk
Ability: Synchronize
Payback
Psychic / Hidden Power [Fight]
Pursuit / Baton Pass
Yawn / Wish
I'm afraid it's not very consistent? Psychic is there against Fighting-types who may switch in. Hidden Power [Fight] for type coverage (Normal, Ice, Rock, Dark, Steel), although Umbreon is weak to none of them. May be a surprise.
Victreebel @ Choice Specs
Modest ~ 252 SpAtk 158 HP 100 SpDef
Ability: Chlorophyll
Encore / Tickle
Energy Ball
Hidden Power [Rock] / Hidden Power [Fight]
Sludge Bomb
Undecide on Hidden Power, another option is [Fire]. [Rock] covers 3 of Victreebel's 4 weaknesses, although since it uses Choice Specs I'm not really sure I'd SWITCH IN to something that I'm weak against. On the other hand [Fight] covers only 1 of it's weaknesses, but is efficient against 4 others, and would be my only answer against Steel-types.
Cloyster @ Leftovers
Relaxed ~ 252 HP 252 SpDef 6 Def
Ability: Shell Armor / Skill Link
Avalanche
Captivate / Mud Shot / Spike Cannon
Rapid Spin
Spikes / Toxic Spikes / Hidden Power [Flying] / Hidden Power [Ground]
I'll have some battles on Shoddy to see if my presumption is right. My guess is that when people see Cloyster, they'd think "ok, this is the 4th Pokemon with most Defense, with EV's in Def no way I'm going to use Physical Moves". Is this correct? Can I use this to my advantage? Captivate helps immensely against Cloyster's inexistent SpDef. Spike Cannon if Ability is Skill Link. Each Hidden Power covers two of it's weaknesses...
Crobat @ Life Orb
Jolly ~ 252 HP 140 ATK 118 Spd
Ability: Inner Focus
Aerial Ace / Brave Bird
Cross Poison / Poison Fang
Haze / U-turn
Toxic
