Hiyo! I had this all typed up and hit submit... and I wasn't logged in. So I had to retype it. I do NOT do HP of any kind; this is my ingame team. I just don't have that kind of patience. So tell me what you think! Also, my Pokemon Online is (currently) not working. So once it is, I might take some suggestions like HP and -Spd IV's for a Gyro Ball or something.
Note: I like using offensive moves, as I battle 3v3 Wi-Fi a lot, making the battles very fast paced. This is why you'll notice only 3 status moves, and no walls.
Team at a glance:
@Leftovers
Torrent
252Atk, 252Spd, 4HP
Jolly (+Spd, -SAtk)
Waterfall
Megahorn
Revenge
DragonTail
Yeah, that's my starter. The EV's should be correct as I used my (last) DW berries. This may not necessarily be my lead, It could be Hydreigon (with Specs or Scarf). In fact I haven't used this as my lead ever. Waterfall and Megahorn are resisted by only 14 OU Pokemon in total, including Shedinja. Revenge and DragonTail are mostly for coverage and certain situations were they are more favorable than Waterfall/Megahorn. It's only a coincidence that they both have negative priority. But due to Samurott's decent bulk, it can normally survive one hit and either KO a weakened Pokemon or switch out.
@Quick Claw
Defiant
252Atk, 252Spd, 4HP
Adamant (+Atk, -SAtk)
Iron Head
Night Slash (breeding for Sucker Punch)
Brick Break
Swords Dance
My biggest (and favorite) physical sweeper. It can switch into a stat lowering move or ability (Intimidate), set up if they switch, and sweep. If so, then I get a +3 Attack boost. Woo. Iron Head and Sucker Punch are for STAB (with Quick Claw hopefully getting a boost for flinch) while Brick Break provides suprising coverage.
@Choice Specs
Levitate
252SAtk, 252Spd, 4HP
Modest (+SAtk, -Atk)
Draco Meteor
Dark Pulse
Flamethrower
Fire Blast
My quickest (and favorite) special sweeper. Specs give it a boost that turn it into a special Salmence. I use Flamethrower over Fire Blast as the loss in power isn't worth the loss in reliability. Draco Meteor kills most things that aren't walls, and even a few mixed walls have fallen with residual damage.
@Bug/Fire Gem
Flame Body
Quiet (breeding for Modest/Timid)
252SAtk, 252Spd, 4HP
Flamethrower (Fiery Dance on new, correct one)
Bug Buzz
Psychic
Quiver Dance
Although this thing is kind of cool, I really only used it because I caught it at level 70. I might be willing to replace this one; it seems a bit to frail to use Quiver Dance. Its three attacking moves are for stab and coverage.
@Ground/Ghost Gem
Iron Fist
Adamant (+Atk, -SAtk)
252Atk, 252HP, 4SDef
Earthquake
Shadow Punch
Hammer Arm
Fly (HM use only)
He is pretty cool. It's is suprisingly bulky, which makes up for it's slow speed. Fly is, as stated, only for HM use. What confuses me is how it can fly. Hmmmm... Iron Fist boosts Shadow Punch and Hammer Arm.
@...?Help?
Sheer Force
252Atk, 128SDef, 128HP
Careful (+SDef, -SAtk)
Hammer Arm (Drain or Mach Punch breeding-which one?)
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Bulk Up
The newest addition to my team, replacing a very gimicky Darmanitan with Zen Mode and Substitute. Bulk Up along with the EV's and nature provide considerable bulk. The rest is for coverage.
Now, about that Volcarona... what should I substitute it for? I personally like Scrafty and Sawsbuck, but that's just me. Any suggestions?
So tell me what you think! I know this team sucks, but this is my first serious 5th gen team.
