Zilocke Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) I've been at this game for a while, (mainly talking with friends and having fun messing around in 1v1s) and I just started building up a team in order to help my team become better in the PvP scene. We have some good battlers that have assisted me, but I think I need a more broad and unbiased eye. Keep in mind the items are up for discussion, and I would like input on that as well. Also, There is a team theme, where I can't use the same type twice. Here is my thoughts on my team so far: [Edit]: I've rearranged the team according to comments made. This is the updated team. Scizor @ Choice Band Ability: Technician Nature: Adamant EVs: 252 HP, 252 Atk, 6 Def Moves Bullet Punch Pursuit Superpower U-turn Gengar @ Life Orb Ability: Levitate Nature: Timid EVs: 252 Sp.A, 252 Spe, 6 Sp.D Moves Focus Blast Shadow Ball Psychic T-bolt Gyarados @ Leftovers Ability: Intimidate Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spe, 6 Sp.D Moves Waterfall Crunch Stone Edge Dragon dance Mienshao @ Life Orb Ability: Regenerator Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spe, 6 Sp.D Moves High Jump Kick Drain Punch Stone Edge U-turn Blissey @ Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure Nature: Bold EVs: 248 HP, 252 Def, 10 Sp.A Moves Heal Bell Soft-boiled Toxic Seismic Toss Hippowdon @ Leftovers Ability: Sand Stream Nature: Bold EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 6 Sp.D Moves Stealth Rock Ice Fang Slack Off Earthquake That's all of them. Thanks in advance. Edited June 1, 2018 by Zilocke Link to comment
suigin Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Replace Umbreon for Hippowdon I guess, Eviolite isn't out yet so Chansey would be pretty useless in comparison to Blissey, give Scizor a Choice Band and Mienshao a life orb, you probably don't want to have Swords Dance on something that uses U-Turn as it means you'll lose your boosts so replace either Swords Dance or U-Turn with something else, give Gyarados Dragon Dance instead of Dragon Tail.

razimove Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 gengar without focus blast, isn't able to do much to a ttar, magnezone, ferrothorn which are pretty common on the tier. I would not use sludge wave. umbreon is prone to get those conkel switch ins and mienshaos, that will laugh at umbreon. I wouldn't advice on using him. Suigin advices are on point. Oh, also, flamethrower > fire blast on blissey, if it even learns fire blast, and hi jump kick on mienshao, to take advantage of that strong stab + regenerator. Scizor lifeorb is mostly used for SD set, that moveset you have there is great for choice band however. Meaning something like SD, superpower, bug bite, bullet or SD, roost, bug bite, bullet, or a mix of this would do better as a LO set. Kudasai 1 Link to comment

Thanks for the input! A lot of these pokemon aren't made yet, so I'll keep these things in mind when fleshing out my team. Link to comment
Soul Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I agree with suigin to replace umbreon with hippowdon for stealth rock support and in general being the better physical wall. IF you don't have rocks and blissey/gyarados are fainted or low on hp, +1 volcarona just completely destroys this team since you don't have any scarf users and your bullet punch does less than 50% Link to comment

Thanks for the advice Link to comment
