talkmc Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I have these 3 pokemon and I would like to make a team with them. I need some suggestions of what my other 3 pokemon should be! ^_^. I'm really new to competitive pokemon so I don't really know anything. Hydreigon @ Life Orb Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 SpA / 4 HP / 252 Spe Modest Nature -Dark Pulse -Dragon Pulse -Earthpower -Flamethrower IVs: Reuniclus @ Leftovers Ability: Magic Guard EVs: 252 HP / 6 SpA / 252 Def Bold Nature -Recover -Calm Mind -Focus Blast -Psyshock IVs: Ferrothorn @ Leftovers Ability: Iron Barbs EVs: 252 HP / 6 Atk / 252 Def Relaxed Nature -Leech Seed -Stealth Rocks -Gyroball -Power Whip IVs: Link to comment
RysPicz Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Your team already starts with a very nice core. You made a great start by picking 3 top tier pokemons to begin with, now the choice is up to you- if you want to go more offensive, or more defensive. Regardless, you have to consider throwing a poke able to tank Volcarona. You cannot be weak to one of metagame's greatest threats. If you wish to go offensively, Gyarados would be a good choice- however it is only a check and not a counter. Dragonite might be able to tank +1 HP Rock or deal a massive damage with ESpeed (around 75% I believe). Fast scarf users like Salamence would be able to finish the job as well. The sets and spreads on your pokemon look fine, aside from lack of Focus Blast on Hydreigon (preferably for Earth Power). It's a horrible move which I really hate due to it's low accuracy but unfortunately it's really needed unless you want to be walled by more hydreigons and not have a weapon against Blissey. Offensively wise, I would probably pick Gyarados out there. It also pairs pretty well with Ferrothorn. Hydreigon / Ferro/ Reuniclus/ Gyara already looks very promising. Another poke I would throw in here is a Mamoswine, either CB or orb. Mamo gives you a very strong priority which your team lacks, in ice shard, and a wonderful STAB coverage which would surely help out bringing down walls. Last slot could be a spinner or defogger as your team would be really hurt by hazards. Few pokes could fulfill this role- Tenta, Starmie, Crobat (yes, Crobat), Gliscor, Skarm. I think I would put Starmie in there- Scald is almost always a good weapon against offensive teams, it gives you a very decent speed control and possible spin. Defensively wise you'd have to ask some wallfgts who run stall or heavy defense. Probably stuff like mantine, blissey, skarmory etc but I don't want to expand on this topic as I don't have much experience running stall in our MMO metagame. notmudkip0, talkmc and razimove 3 Link to comment

I think I will settle for Hydreigon / Ferro / Reuniclus / Gyrados / Mamo / Gliscor RysPicz 1 Link to comment

I think I will settle for Hydreigon / Ferro / Reuniclus / Gyrados / Mamo / Gliscor Be vary- you still have only one answer to Volcarona in your entire team. I would prefer an offensive water-type like Tenta or Starmie instead of Gliscor, as Glis is usually used as a counter to Conk. Starmie's faster than volcarona and Tenta can tank it's attacks a bit.

I'd advice a mantine on the gyarados slot or gliscor, not only it provides you with defog, but also haze, which is massive when dealing with stuff like volcarona. toxic seismic toss blissey also probably does well vs volcarona, I believe you can outstall her. Not only I advice because of that, but only because you literally have no special wall on your team which will hinder your gameplay a bit vs a few teams. Link to comment
