I'm in need on advice on a team for X/Y Wifi. I haven't even beat the main story yet; still ideas of my team are being planned.
These Pokemon will NOT be replaced. I know they are mediocre compared to others, but I'm using them because I like them. Movesets, IVs/EVs, nature and ability are completely flexible.
Aurorus @ Light Clay
Snow Warning
252 HP / 126 Def / 130 SpDef
Calm/Bold
-Reflect
-Light Screen
-Protect/Substitute
-Blizzard
There's not much else I can do with Aurorus. It's very bulky but it has 6 weaknesses, 2 are 4x. This is the most viable set I could think of for it, it's a decent dual screener. I'm also hoping it gets Stealth Rock as an egg move, but until that is determined definitively I'll go with this. Would it's other ability and Ice Beam or Freeze Dry be better than Snow Warning with Blizzard?
Banette @ Banettite
Prankster (mega ability)
252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 Spd
Adamant
-Shadow Sneak
-Protect
-Destiny Bond
-Sucker Punch/Phantom Force
I want to take advantage of Banette's ability. Unfortunately, other than Destiny Bond, I see little in it's movepool for status moves. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Delphox @ Fire/Psychic Gem
Magician
252 SpAtk / 126 Spd / 130 SpDef
Modest
-Switcheroo
-Calm Mind
-Mystical Fire/Flamethrower/Fire Blast
-Psychic/Wish
I'm unsure about my Delphox. I like the secondary effect of Mystical Fire, especially when combined with SpDef EVs and Calm Mind. I think it can enable Delphox to effectively cripple the opponent while still allowing it to dish out some damage. But I also think Delphox could be a decent Special Sweep with it's other ability and Calm Mind. It's movepool isn't varied in type coverage, though.
So the above Pokemon are what I know I am going to use. Pokemon I have been considering are Zoroark as a special sweeper, Togekiss for paraflinch, Noivern for a special sweeper, Leafeon to baton pass Swords Dance, Sylveon as special wall or Umbreon as mixed wall. Belly Drum / Aqua Jet Azumarill and spikes/stealth rock Smeargle might be fun as well. I'm primarily looking for a balanced team that would go well with the Pokemon I know I want to use.
