Sup, This is my second post on these fourms (The first was the Physical Greninja team.) and now I finnaly have another team I feel like Bragging about :P Hope you enjoy.
First I have a story to tell about this team. So I was playing a Pokemon Y Wonderlocke when I caught a Sneasle, It soon evolved to Weavile and so on. Eventualy I grew a strong bond to Weavile as a Pokemon and then at level 58, Weavile died (R.I.P Weavile. Lv 1 - Lv 58). I then decided to log onto Pokemon Online (Where I build teams and test them before going to Showdown) and to build a team based around Weavile. At first I thought I'd simply use Life Orb Weavile or to mix it up to use Normal Gem Weavile, Then after noticing Weavile's strong base speed stat, I decided to make a choice band set, thus me creating this set and team:
Weavile (F) @ Choice Band
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Night Slash/Knock Off
- Icicle Crash
- Ice Shard
- Poison Jab
First we have Weavile, The main Pokemon of this team. I wanted to try out a Choice Band set so I did, And let me tell you, It hits hard. First in the Movepool we have Knock Off, Not only does it hit hard as it's STAB Dark type move, It also knock's off the Opponets held Item thus hurting most Choiced Pokemon and most Defensive Pokemon. Next we have Icicle Crash, I perfer it over Ice Punch thus Loosing 10% Accuracy we gain 10% Power and a 30% Flinch chance. Next we have Poison Jab, Not many people expect it and will often send in Fairy's such as Sylveon and Florges to KO Weavile. Ice Shard is our Priority move making Weavile also a great Revenge Killer and a great Late game sweeper.
Gardevoir (M) @ Gardevoirite
Shiny: Yes
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Psyshock
- Hypervoice
- Will-O-Wisp
- Focus Blast
Next we have the Mega of the team, Gardevoir. Gardevoir cover's Weavile's Fighting weakness and is also a great Special Attacker. First on the moveset we have Psyshock. Psyshock is here as the Psychic STAB as it also helps Gardevoir become a threat to Physical Defensive wall's and Special Defensive Wall's. Hypervoice after Pixilite becomes a Fairy Type move thus gaining Fairy type stab and becoming a very hard hitting move. Will O Wisp is not expected by most of the player's Ive battled so far and cripples alot of Physical Attackers, Focus Blast is basically Just for coverage and no more is explanation is needed.
Heatran (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Lava Plume
- Stealth Rock
- Protect
- Roar
Heatran is used to cover Gardevoir's Poison and Steel weakness's along with Weavile's Bug weakness's, It also serves as a Special Wall for the team and a Hazard Setter. Stealth Rock is its lead move and is very Helpfull against teams which use Charizard or Talonflame. Next we have Lava Plume, Lava Plume is our main Attacking move, With neutral damage most hit's do around 40%, Lava Plume is also used to Burn Physical attackers crippling them. Next we have Protect. It can be very helpful for scouting the Opponet's next attack and it also helps get off some Leftovers healing. Roar is used to take out Set-Up Attackers and helps deal alot of damage to Talonflame after Stealth Rocks.
Talonflame (F) @ Life Orb
Shiny: Yes
Trait: Gale Wings
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Swords Dance
- Flare Blitz
Talonflame is used to cover Weavile as well, It takes out Bug Types, Fighting Types and Does alot of damage to most Fire Types. So, I didnt want to use the commonly used Choice Band set but I didnt want to use my favorite set, Bulky Talon. So I decided on Swords Dance Talonflame. After one Swords Dance, Talonflames attack becomes around the same as it would if it had been Choice Band, Plus, Talon isint restricted to one single move, Has the ability to heal Rock/Recoil damage with Roost and therefor giving it the ability to do alot of damage to most teams without Heatran.
Garchomp (M) @ Choice Scarf
Shiny: Yes
Trait: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Outrage
- Stone Edge
- Poison Jab
Garchomp is my scarfer of the team, Outspeeding most of everything in the current Gen 6 OU Tier. Garchomp has it's two STAB attacks, Earthquake and Outrage. Both hit extemely hard and the combination of Ground and Dragon types attack the OU Meta hard. Honestly, I'm going to end explaining Garchomp here as the rest is pretty obvious.
Thundurus-T (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Nasty Plot
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
- Volt Switch
Finnaly we have Thundurus, My Set Up Special attacker. After NastyPlot it has over 700 Attack making Thunderbolt hit very hard. Volt Switch keeps momentum up and also hits hard, KOing Most water types. Focus Blast is our Coverage move. Sure I could have used Hidden Power ice, The Mainstream electric Coverage move. Or I could Use Focus Blast in which helps sweep teams with Tyranitar and Hit's hard against mon's that resist/Immune Electric.
So there we have it, The choice band Weavile team. Sorry if I didnt explain/Left out a few things, I was pretty tired when I wrote this. Please give me idea's on what can Help the team. And yes, I do realize Zapdos cover's Weavile perfectly, I just havent gotten to testing him :P
