Hello! I have never tried team building before and I wanted to give it a go and see how I could do it. This is what I came up with, and I would love some suggestions because I know there are improvements to be made!
Blacephalon @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shadow Ball
- Flamethrower
- Taunt
- Trick
Great love in my heart for this thing. No offensive team that doesn't have Scarf Kartana can survive this thing, and neither does any team you have even mildly widdled down from the rest of the team. Taunt and Trick is for people who try and get cheeky with you and helps give it a fun surprising lead role against suicide leads/trick room setters/etc. Otherwise, it's the standard set to wreck house quick and easy
Kartana @ Choice Band
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Leaf Blade
- Knock Off
- Sacred Sword
- Smart Strike
The main breaker of the team is to switch in on just about anyone you need and get rid of them. Choice Band is used over Life Orb because while I like the physical sweep potential that Life Orb gets, I find the break potential from the Band a lot better. Especially with Blissey Wish, makes it easy to come in and out over and over to break if you get low.
Blissey (F) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Wish
- Seismic Toss
- Aromatherapy
- Soft-Boiled
Love Blissey and how broken Wish support with it is, making the team almost unkillable if you play patiently while also allowing for the team to recover from status if you find yourself so unlucky. I know it's a sickening sight to some, but this thing really is hard to beat when you play your cards right. Blacephelon and Kartana really appreciate the wish support from this thing
Landorus-Therian (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Toxic
- Defog
- Earthquake
- U-turn
Needed Toxic/Defog for this team, and while I considered putting Corv here, I both didn't like all the steel that was shining and also didn't really love any playthrough tests I did with him. Again a fairly typical Lando set, U-Turn is super helpful for this team, and again Wish support from Blissey really helps the easy chip this thing normally takes.
Slowbro @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Future Sight
- Scald
- Teleport
- Ice Beam
Needed a nice physical tank/Teleport user, and Future Sight is really really appreciated by the likes of Kartana and Blacephelon for more breaking power. Ice Beam is to kill dragons reliably, as are the special attacking EVs. With the regenerator and Wish, I didn't feel like Slack Off was super necessary here.
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Leech Seed
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
- Body Press
Needed a Stealth Rock setter and water resistance. Even with Slowbro, this team is pretty weak to rain teams, so I definitely wanted to put someone in that can resist that. Also a good hazard setter/physical tank for things Slowbro can't stomach.
