I am trying to defeat the Battle Subway, as you could probably have guessed. I swept the Single Train with this team and am now attempting the Super Single. However, as of yet, I can't get past the first round. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG
I have left notes below each Pokémon with my concerns about it. I welcome any and all suggestions for this team; if you recommend that I replace a Pokémon, I will consider it, though EVs/IVs/natures took me a while. (For some reason the Everstone method doesn't seem to work for me... o_O)
1. Lonely Breloom
Poison Heal
w/Toxic Orb
252 ATK/252 SPD/4 DEF
24/30/11/24/26/31
Leech Seed/Brick Break/Seed Bomb/Sky Uppercut
- How effective is Toxic Orb/Poison Heal for a sweeper?
- I feel like I could have something more useful than Leech Seed, seeing as I attached the Toxic Orb. Brick Break is useful when Reflect/Light Screen have actually been used, but this is often by Psychic-types, so it's risky to even have Breloom out there.
2. Rash Chandelure
Flame Body
w/Charcoal
252 SAT/252 SPD/4 SDF
14/12/6/31/31/31
Hex/Shadow Ball/Flamethrower/Overheat
- What should I attach instead of Charcoal? I had been using that for the time being.
- Is it stupid for him to have Hex when there's only a chance of burning the opponent (from Flame Body/Flamethrower)? Originally I had paired it with Will-O-Wisp but dropped that in favor of Overheat for particularly stubborn foes.
3. Bold Lapras
Water Absorb
w/Leftovers
192 DEF/252 SDF/64 SAT
31/8/31/30/30/11
Confuse Ray/Toxic/Ice Beam/Perish Song
- So far she has been a pretty formidable wall, but I have to wonder if it would have been smarter to put EVs into HP instead of SAT. She only has one attack that utilizes that stat, so I dunno. I'm just one of those "offense-is-the-best-defense" types so I was hard-pressed to even include a wall :I
- Should I go for a water-type attack? I built this team on the tried-and-true framework of Grass/Fire/Water, with subtypes to maximize STAB. Breloom can take care of Rock and Ground-types, but I don't know what to do about Fire.
- In your opinion, is Lapras even good on this team? If not, what other Water/something-type would you suggest as a wall?
Thanks for looking, guys, and do not hesitate to suggest anything. I welcome harshness. :D
