Hi guys, newbie here. I have just made a team for pokemon showdown and i need all your advice on improving it. ^^
My Team
Tyrantrum (M) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Rock Head
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Hone Claws
- Head Smash
- Iron Tail
- Dragon Claw
First off, my bulky physical sweeper. Everyone went nuts when Rock Head-Head Smash Tyrantrum was released, and its obvious why. Use hone claws to setup and compensate for Head Smash's and Iron Tail's innacuracy, as well as boosting its attack by 1 or 2 stages. Dragon Claw for STAB. Iron Tail for dealing with annoying fairies.
Golbat @ Eviolite
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Super Fang
- Toxic
- Roost
- Taunt
My special tank. Super Fang for crippling pokes like Multiscale Dragonite. Toxic and Roost combo for Toxic stalling. Taunt for stopping entry hazards and status moves. Also having infiltrator can come in handy for breaking through subs.
Magmortar @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Vital Spirit
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Overheat
- Focus Blast
- Thunderbolt
- Psychic
Fast Special Sweeper. Magmotar with STAB Overheat. I don't mind having the Sp.Attack drop, since its gonna switch out next turn anyways. Focus Blast for rock coverage. TBolt for water, and Psychic to fill in the extra slot. Its weak to ground type moves, so i had Golbat to switch in since its immune to earthquake. Basically my Ferrothorn counter, cuz that guy is everywhere in OU.
Abomasnow-Mega @ Abomasite
Ability: Snow Warning
EVs: 128 HP / 252 Def / 128 SpA
Bold Nature
- Blizzard
- Giga Drain
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
Bulky Special Tank + SubSeed Staller. Snow warning means STAB 110 base power Blizzard will never miss. Giga Drain for STAB and healing. Leech Seed and Substitute for obvious reasons. To compensate for its 4x fire weakness, i have Tyrantrum to switch in and soak up fire attacks.
Smeargle @ Focus Sash
Ability: Own Tempo
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Guard Split
- Sticky Web
- Magic Coat
- Destiny Bond
Suicide lead. Smeargle has horrible Def and Sp.Def stats. Therefore, Guard Split can be used on tanks to swap Def and Sp.Def stats with Smeargle. I chose Sticky Web cuz i have a pretty slow team overall. Magic Coat to bounce back Rocks and Spikes. Destiny Bond to make Smeargle's demise worthwhile, bringing its attacker down the grave with it.
Scrafty @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Knock Off
Bulky physical sweeper. Fake Out for switching in and getting free leftovers healing. Bulk Up to boost Scrafty's Attack and already decent Def stat. Drain Punch for dealing damage and healing. Knock Off to remove an item as well as dealing 140 damage with a pokemon holding an item.
SUMMARY
To be honest, i made this team in like 30 minutes and haven't thought anything through, so naturally it has many flaws to it. Feel free to state out any flaws in it as well as state your suggestion to improve it. Sorry for not being so in-detail about my team, but that's all i could muster. Wanted to insert some sprites too, but apparently you can't post links unless you had 5 posts. But anyways, thanks!!!! {XD}
