So I got bored of Minecraft and Overwatch so I decided to make a balanced offense team around Mega Venusaur (Who I quite actually hate), AV Melmetal, and Spdef LandoT. Also, for some reason Pokepaste refused to copy my tera types. I'll put them at the end of each pokemon bio
Okay, so the initial idea for this team was to run Heatran and Ferro with a firium-z and an anti-stall set on tran, tran didn't really accomplish what I wanted and hazard stacking did NOT fit in with my playstyle. I eventually settled on AV Tornadus-T to kinda balance things out. The team is as follows:
Venusaur-Mega @ Venusaurite
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sludge Bomb
- Synthesis
- Earth Power
- Giga Drain
Venusaur-Mega is what I decided to make this team around, it's a stupid looking pokemon, but it gets the job of a bulky offensive pokemon that I want. I intially had Toxic instead of Giga Drain but the extra HP on hit really kinda sold Giga Drain for me, also it hits Rotom-W which is just annoying to deal with. Max Spdef lets it 1v1 Lele.
Tera Type is n/a
Melmetal @ Assault Vest
Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 128 HP / 116 Atk / 252 SpD / 12 Spe
Careful Nature
- Double Iron Bash
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Thunder Punch
What do I need to say about this guy? He's a damn monster, AV + his already idiotic bulk is just a huge threat for most offensive teams and basically gives me a free switch into any mon I want. Double Iron Bash hits 90% of opponents for stupid amounts and eq ice punch and thunder punch work incredible for coverage. Thing's a beast, loved it since it came out.
Tera Type is Fairy
Landorus-Therian @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 236 SpD / 20 Spe
Careful Nature
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic
- Protect
This damn thing is crazy. I forgot what level of hell spdef LandoT came from but its deep, the damn thing is incredibly strong. Tanks insane spdef special effective hits for zero reason other than incredible bulk amounts. SR and EQ help it take on leads much easier and not a free switch into as toxic and protect allows him to stall everything on the field.
Tera Type is Water
Tapu Fini @ Leftovers
Ability: Misty Surge
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Defog
- Scald
- Moonblast
- Haze
Defensive Tapu Fini, Misty Surge kinda counteracts with Toxic from LandoT, but that's not the end of the world and could definitely be played around. There's not really much to say about Fini, it is a tried and true mon that is just worth its salt. Defog is there for hazards and haze is there to allow it to take on physical attackers and stuff like Annihilape (Which for some reason isn't in ubers in general). Thing is crazy man scald just cripples physical attackers for free. Such a stupid ass mon.
Tera Type is Grass
Tornadus-Therian (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe
Gentle Nature
- Bleakwind Storm
- Heat Wave
- Knock Off
- U-turn
I love Regenerator, it is my favorite ability in the game. It's so damn strong and combining it with Assault Vest just makes it so tanky, especially with Max HP investments. Bleakwind Storm Forces a switch or allows me to pivot into LandoT and to toxic anything (That isnt steel or poison). Knock-Off, U-Turn, and Heat Wave just speak for themselves. Max SpDef (I HATE CHI-YU).
Tera Type is Steel
Magearna @ Assault Vest
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 120 SpA / 132 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Fleur Cannon
- Iron Head
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
Okay okay okay, I know this thing isn't as good as it was before bc Mega-Alakazam isn't as strong as it was. Iron Head helps with Lele, Fleur Cannon, Volt Switch, and Thunderbolt are there to help with coverage. SpDef and Spa are there to help it be bulky and offensive.
Tera Type is Fire
Threats are pretty cut and dry. Volcarona and Chi-Yu. Outside of Fini and having it Scald both of them to death there's no answer I have. I'm at a loss and any tips/ideas/comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
