Take a look at this Sun team?

[joeyboy]

As usual I prefer to play triples, here's a sun team I've built. I've never done one before and tbh there's a lot of choice, even more in Gen 6 (was looking at trevenant for instance), but here's what I've come up with so far.

1) Ninetales @ eject button
Nature: Timid
Ability: Drought
EV's: 252 HP, 138 speed, 120 defence

Moves:
Sunny Day
Will-o-wisp
Hypnosis
Flamethrower

Obviously Ninetales starts to bring up the sun, I thought ejecting it to get it out for a sun abuser was a decent idea.

2) Cherrim @ Focus sash
Nature: Jolly
EV's: 252 Att, 252 Speed, 4HP

Moves:
Sunny day
Aromatherapy
Seed bomb
Growth

Alternative bringer of the sun, also helps boost sp,def and the damage Sawsbuck and Mamoswine can do.

3) Sawsbuck @ Life orb
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Cholorophyll
EV's: 48 HP, 244 Att, 216 Speed

Moves:
Horn leech
Return
Jump kick
Swords dance

Chlorophyll physical attacker, even better if Cherrim is about, either way if it manages to SD it's sitting pretty.

4) Houndoom (mega)
Nature: Timid
Ability: Solar power
EV's: 252 Sp.att, 252 Speed, 4 HP

Moves:
Fire blast/flamethrower
Dark pulse
Solar beam
Nasty plot

So with solar power boosted 140 Sp. att, this thing seems like a potential monster to me.

5) Arcanine @ Rocky helmet
Nature: Bold
Ability: Intimidate
EV's: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Sp. def

Moves:
Morning sun
Will-o-wisp
Snarl
Flamethrower

So this is a more bulky Arcanine, the idea is he is sent out in the middle as a lead, he lowers their attack with intimidate and fires off a snarl to lower their special attack. Then heals, spreads status, reduces their stats further etc.

6) Mamoswine @ Choice band
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Thick fat
EV's: 252 Att, 252 speed, 4 hp

Moves:
Ice shard
Earthquake
Icicle crash
Superpower

Probably seems kind of odd, but my team looks to have an issue with dragons, so the idea is he lets off a very powerful Ice shard which should deal with a lot of them.



So that's it, honestly rip this team apart completely if its terrible, as I've only ever done rain related teams when it comes to weather.

I think one of my issues is which mega to go with, I had an idea for a bulky MVenusaur, but I was thinking that generally triples can be quite aggressive, so it may be better to go with a fairly fast and very powerful special attacker in MHoundoom.

Also cherrim is likely the weak link, kind of a gimmick I suppose. I'm assuming I'll get other suggestions for an alternative sun setter?

I'm not very familiar with triples, so I'll keep this short. I suggest using Heat Wave on your Fire-types, since the ability to hit two Pokemon at once seems too valuable to waste. Also, I'm not sure if Choice Band is effective in battle styles other than singles, so consider replacing it with Ice Gem, Life Orb, or Focus Sash on Mamoswine.

About Cherrim? Hm...

I'd honestly say you'd be better off with Venusaur, Vileplume, Bellossom, or even Cradily. I personally recommend Cradily for its typing and Stealth Rock capabilities. Plus, it has decent bulk and can pull off mixed offense with its STABs (Hint: Seed Bomb and Ancient Power).
