OVERVIEW:I was bored and well I kinda wanted others suggestions as sun teams aren't really talked about
Team At A Glance:
IN Depth:
Ninetales@ironball
quiet
252hp,252sp.atk
-Heatwave
-hiddenpower(ice)
-Overheat/sunnyDay
-protect
Well its a sun team so suprise suprise, a Ninetales. Though I'm using iron ball to underspeed All other weather starters bar hippowdon setting up drought for its partner jumpluff to induce its sleep. I have trouble deciding Overheat or SunnyDay but in the end tales really ain't bulky so I opt Overheat here. Other than that standard.
Jumpluff@flyinggem/sitrus
jolly/adamant
252atk,252speed or 252hp,252speed
-SleepPowder
-Encore
-Protect
-Acrobatics/helpinghand
The main attraction. I wanted to base my team around my personal favorite Sun abuser, and he works wonders. I usually have sun up and begin sleep powdering away. Then encore is for support. My last two moves depend on what im doing I don't always want it taunt bait so I have acrobatics as its main move and it catches fighting pokemon offguard quite alot, but if I want full support I'd opt hellping hand, and use sitrus instead.
Hydreigon@ChoiceScarf
Modest
140hp,252sp.atk,116speed
-DracoMeteor
-FireBlast
-Darkpulse
-dragonpulse
Well I already knew I was going to need a dragon so it was between hydreigon,Sala, and Latios. Hydreigon won because of typing, and I recently thought of a bulky scarf variant. This allows me to outspeed everything while maintain bulk. To me Bulk is always a good thing and well this thing has slain many dragons with its suprise factor.
Metagross@steelgem
adamant
252atk,252hp
-MeteorMash
-Bulletpunch
-Earthquake
-Protect
Well now I was looking at my team and my team happened to have 2 eq resisters. So then I looked for good eq users, and metagross was there. not only does he peform well with hydreigon and jumpluff he was naturally bulky and powerful. My item choice was gonna be occa berry but you know. Whats the point off occa if sun is out. He'll get ko'd still so steelgem was the next best thing.
Chandelure@focussash
timid
252sp.atk,252speed
-heatwave
-shadowball
-imprison
-trickroom
At this point I had my core. I just needed 1 fakeouter which would become top, and I wanted to counter trickroom. It just so happen chandy abuses sun, and counter trickroom. I chose timid over modest to outspeed those bulky pokemon that want to outspeed neutral base 80's, and other chandy. Not only did he have synergy with gross and pluff he provided another nice fighting resist. Rest is standard.
hitmontop@fightinggem
Adamant
252hp,252atk
-Fakeout
-Closecombat
-SuckerPunch
-Wideguard
As I said I needed a fakeouter for utility. I remember ol scrafty and chandy shutting tr down. This year chandy found a new partner in the form of top. This thing is as standard as you get and wideguard is over detect as my whole team is weak to some sort of common spread move. Not to mention imo You MUST carry at least one fighting pokemon to beat some common things
Closing: Well thats the team.I wanted a sun team thats not considered inferior to other styles of play. Well please leave educated suggestions, and thank for reading ^_^.
