phlawless

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll be sure to run a mixed Salamence, probably something like Salamence @ Life Orb Ability: Intimidate EVs: 64 Atk / 192 SpA / 252 Spe Naive Nature - Draco Meteor - Dragon Claw - Flamethrower / Fire Blast - Hydro Pump I feel like this set is really good because it answers other dragons with Draco meteor, offers stab attack with dragon claw. Flamethrower or Fire Blast offers general coverage and hydro pump answers hippowdon very well as well as ttar semi well. As for breloom I’m still going to be running him but after some testing on showdown I’m switching substitute with stone edge. Chandelure I feel confident having on my team but if you think that a choice scarf gengar with this set would fill the niche better, then I’d consider running it. Nature: Timid EVs: 252 Speed 252 Sp. Atk Item: Choice Scarf Shadow Ball Focus Blast HP Ice/Fire Sludge Bomb as for the others I’m keeping them as they are for now

This is my first PokeMMO Team, Recently I've beaten all 3 regions and I'm now looking to creating a viable competitive team. I decided to make this team but before I go around buying or breeding each Pokemon I'd figure I'd ask for some assistance first. Lead: Mienshao @ Life Orb Ability: Regenerator EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Fake Out - U-turn - High Jump Kick - Stone Edge My initial lead, I feel that mienshao can be a great lead as she outspeeds many other leads so she can safely u-turn away, her first turn fake out is also useful unless they lead with ferrothorn. Offense: Hydreigon @ Life Orb Ability: Levitate EVs: 40 Atk / 252 SpA / 216 Spe Naive Nature - Outrage - Draco Meteor - Flamethrower - Dark Pulse Here's my mixed sweeper Hydreigon, he hits hard and I feel that the outrage can be a great mixup when switched in on special walls like chansey. Starmie @ Life Orb Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Hydro Pump - Thunderbolt - Ice Beam - Recover Starmie is here to provide lots of coverage, I put recover over Psychic because I feel like this is useful when switched in on defensive mons starmie can recover to read a status affecting move then I would switch in to another pokemon. Starmie would then be healed of status by natural cure. Chandelure @ Choice Scarf Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 2 Atk / 30 Def - Flamethrower - Shadow Ball - Energy Ball - Hidden Power [Ice] My special sweeper to outspeed any options. Chandelure can be switched in to read fire moves and has speed and coverage to round out my offense. Utility: Breloom @ Toxic Orb Ability: Poison Heal Shiny: Yes EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Spore - Seed Bomb - Focus Punch - Substitute My setup sweeper you could say, just the standard breloom set. Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Iron Barbs EVs: 248 HP / 60 Def / 200 SpD Relaxed Nature IVs: 0 Spe - Stealth Rock - Spikes - Gyro Ball - Thunder Wave The designated defensive mon and hazard setter for my team. Again any advice is appreciated :)

But that is three psychics, should I use flygon instead of metagross?

k but what is a better cleric...

lol k, I still need a cleric and gardevoir might be able to fill that, but that puts 3 psychics on the team, also i dont know the movepool for gardevoir that makes her a cleric. Thanks for the constant help!

Ya know I get where your coming from and these are nice suggestions but I'd rather replace umbreon that forretress if you can help me with that, forretress has spikes and provides a lot of physical coverage, and even with good def evs tentacruel is weak to phys atks so I'd appreciate it if you could provide a replacement for umbreon if were gonna switch things up.

Tell me what you guys think of replacing jolteon with a sp. Atk pory2

yep I was thinking the same thing when I saw pin was an egg move. Thanks for the help, but I feel like I might need a little insight on what I can do to protect against toxic milotic and choiceband hera

Good call! I'll use the cleric set you recommended, and consider using a tentacruel, but I don't know a good moveset for tentacruel, and aside from that if I use tentacruel and umbreon I feel I'll be more sp. def oriented which messes up the symmetry of my team :). Feel free to respond to this if you have a moveset or another suggestion.

Thanks for the help, I'll probably replace hp bug with pin missile and use earthquake instead of explosion :)

Already realizing I don't have a lead replace swampert with this bad boy Standard Forretress Forretress @ Leftovers EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Careful Nature - Spikes - Rapid Spin - Hidden Power Bug - Explosion

Hey what's up guys it's phlawless you may have seen me around the game. This is my first team and I want some feedback so I'm hoping I can count on you guys! Anyway the basis of this team is symmetry, split perfectly between offensive and defensive Pokemon, to continue this symmetry theme I'm hoping for one physical, special, and mixed in each of the offensive and defensive pokemon. To start let's look at the defensive lineup. Defensive Line-up Calm Mind Slowbro: Slowbro @ Leftovers EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 Sp. Def Bold Nature - Surf - Psychic - Calm Mind - Slack Off Ok we're starting off with the only pokemon currently in my possession (haha I'm poor). This is my slowbro and its everyone else's slowbro as calm mind slowbro is the gold standard for slowbro and bulky phys slowbro are the gold standard for our favorite big pink guy. Why I chose calm mind slowbro is because slowbro can sweep if he can just take hits as he calm minds, and it's good to use when you know the opponent will switch pokemon. Also, (and this is the main reason) slowbro can bulk up is already decent sp. def by using calm mind to basically make him an unkillable tank. And that's really what I want slowbro to be, a giant pink blob that is unkillable (but not chansey). Cleric Umbreon Umbreon @ Leftovers EVs: 252 HP / 32 Def / 224 Sp. Def. Careful Nature - Moonlight - Toxic - Pursuit - Heal Bell I don't really know what set Umbreon uses but I'd guess it'd be something like this. So umbreon in this form is a utility, a good switch-in while also being able to use wish, that's essentially the full package for a special wall. All in all umbreon does his/her job well. Standard Forretress Forretress @ Leftovers EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Careful Nature - Spikes - Rapid Spin - Pin Missile - Earthquake So here's my lead and it isn't a very mixed option, but since slowbro has calm mind and is so bulky anyway I thought a defensive wall was best suited here. So that left me thinking about physically defensive leads, the obvious choices being Skarmory and Forretress, while although both are great pokemon I decided to go with Forretress because he/she provides rapid spin, something skarmory can't provide at all this gen (no defog). This left Forretress as the obvious choice. Offensive Line-up Mixed Metagross Metagross @ Leftovers EVs: 80 HP / 176 Atk / 252 SpA Brave Nature - Psychic - Hidden Power Fire - Meteor Mash - Shadow Ball This was a throw up between this and Flygon, and while flygon adds diversity to the team with a ground dragon typing, I feel metagross might be better overall for a mixed set. If you disagree tell me in the comments below. The set itself makes use of Shadow Ball instead of Signal Beam, I felt Shadow Ball added more to the table with chansey gone, as a big normal blob that is immune to ghost moves just got moved to ubers. Choice Band Aerodactyl Aerodactyl @ Choice Band Ability: Rock Head EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Rock Slide - Double-Edge - Earthquake - Crunch It's everyone's favorite dinosaur! this one was pretty set in stone as a friend of mine said that aerodactyl might work well in a team with my boy slowbro. At one point I considered using a sweeper arcanine but I'm hesitant at the moment. Tell me what you think in the comments. Growth Jolteon Jolteon @ Lum Berry Ability: Volt Absorb EVs: 4 HP / 252 Sp. Atk / 252 Spe - Thunderbolt - Shadow Ball - Hidden Power Ice - Growth What's an OU team without Jumpeon! Now in Growth form! I chose growth jumpeon simply because I'm just not a fan of substitute and growth seemed like a nice replacement and I didn't have a setup sweeper if you don't count slowbro. Jolteon is fun to use and is a great poke all around this gen. EDIT: I'm considering replacing this with a Sp. Atk pory2 So there's my team! leave all comments down below for criticism and other comments. Thanks for reading and have a great day!!! :)
