RATE MY NATIONAL DEX TEAM!
After some really great feedback I have made some changes to my team! Any advice would be great I am higher in the ladder and finding much more success!
Hoopa Unbound (Adamant)
item choice band (a) magician
- Hyperspace fury
- Zen headbutt
- Fire punch
- Drain punch
Evs 252 atk 4 def 252 speed
I really enjoy hoopa’s big attack stat which catches people by surprise, I use him as my main attacking threat as many of my other Pokemon are sp atk focused or defensive Pokemon, only problem with hoopa is his weakness to fairy types and his speed this is where my third Pokemon comes in and helps that, With help of that Pokemon he now actually sweeps and is very hard to control, especially at the end game.
Volcarona (Timid)
Item heavy duty boots (a) flame body
- Quiver dance
- Flamethrower
- Bug buzz
- Roost
Evs 248 HP 130SPD 130 Speed
Bulkarona as I like to call him is probably one of my most useful Pokemon on the team, great with dealing with stalling Pokemon and the likes of tangrowth and mega scizor, I really enjoy the bulk as it allows me to quiver dance multiple times, roost and hit back hard, probably my favourite Pokemon on the team, obvs heavy duty boots to deal with that awful damage from stealth rock.
Ribombee (timid)
Item focus sash (a) shield dust
- Moonblast
- sticky web
- stun spore
- skill swap
Evs 252 speed 252 sp atk 4 sp def
The most important Pokemon in this team, big support for hoopa and others with the use of sticky web, also becomes really annoying for opponents with stun spore, helps me with any dark types too, a must have for hoopa to be most useful in this meta! Skill swap used for annoying Pokemon like ferrorhorn or espeons magic bounce.
Ash-greninja (Timid)
Item focus sash (a) battle bond
- Water shuriken
- Ice beam
- dark pulse
- U turn
Evs 252 sp atk 252 speed 4 spd
Ash greninja is another must in my team great speed along with special attack helps me out a lot, especially with his priority move dealing with fire types, only problem is of rocks/spikes are up he is most likely to be one shot in return, then I do have a problem with fire types for the rest of the game, this is where my weakness lies and I may need a replacement in the team to support this weakness, decided water shuriken over hydro cannon as priority has been more import any so far.
Garchomp (jolly)
Item rockium z, (a) rough skin
- Stealth rock
- Stone edge
- Earthquake
- Swords dance
Evs 252 atk 252 speed 4 sp def
garchomps use of z stealth rock which boosts his defence allows me to set up a swords and hit off big hits with a powerful earthquake or stone edge, been very useful and reliable for me, able to take and give a good hit in return, nice high speed almost always allows me to put rocks up, fairy weakness is the only concern as with hoopa and greninja
Mega mawile (adamant)
Item mawilite (a) intimidate
- Iron head
- Play rough
- Sucker punch
- thunder punch
Evs 92 HP 252 ATK 164 Speed
Another favourite really useful and great support for hoopa again, intimidate cuts any attack and allows me to hit hard in return, great coverage dealing with the fairy weakness I have on my team only problem is the fire types but other than that he’s perfect did try the swords dance set and had a little success but found myself needing the coverage more, sucker punch is a must to finish people off as the low speed means you will need to take a hit otherwise,
Any advice would be great, I try not to use many legendaries as I like to use the same team in my pixelmon server therefore any alternatives that aren’t legendaries would be great, thank you for any feedback!
