So i tried make sure my old team type of team but i think most things i lack either actual OU pokemons or my setup is too much same type. I've been trying find a bit differend from meta and wanting to re-create similar teams to ones i used when i played still OU and used balanced team types!
alternative changes for the team been thinking:
Spinner with giving sunny day for walking wake boosts:
Torkoal @ Leftovers
Ability: Drought
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Lava Plume
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
- Solar Beam
or something more interesting that would take atleast some fighting type attacks on itself:
Zoroark-Hisui @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Illusion
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Bitter Malice
- Hyper Voice
- Focus Blast
- Nasty Plot
maybe better special defence pokemon to replace sylveon
Clodsire @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Gunk Shot
- Spikes
- Recover
- Earthquake
test results that i've been going through with team:
Tinkaton's speed and attack, i've managed mostly to get sword dance out and made quite dent on enemy team. hits surprisingly hard with LO boost even without SD on many pokemons especially with neutral damage, not to mention there is ways use teratype with her to help survive most ground type and fire type moves.
Meowscarada u-turn band hits hard and thanks to cat's speed, its very hard for other pokemons keep up and if opponent brings out substitute setuppers or swappers. Thanks to flower trick,u-turn and knock off, it wont be easy for opponent switch in just anybody in first place as i can break the substitute very effectively with magical cat.
otherwise team been serving very decently but after testing out team plenty times, it do feel like im lacking something but i cant grasp what it is, so im hoping to see if someone has ideas to improve team.
(preferably i would want keep Meowscarada and tinkaton in team but im open for suggestions!)
- Tinkaton (F) @ Life Orb
- Ability: Mold Breaker
- Tera Type: Fairy
- EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Jolly Nature
- - Gigaton Hammer
- - Swords Dance
- - Play Rough
- - Knock Off
Tinkaton is type of pokemon what mawile/mega mawile was back in the X and Y, which gave me kinda abit nostalgic feeling when i used to play competitively with nintendo DS tho difference is that Tinkaton has very good speed and decent attack stat (which surprised me abit not going to lie) so having tinkaton as my main physical sweeper, it has surprise factor but even if i wouldnt have that, this pokemon is very good OHKO many pokemons that are either neutral or super effective in itself.
Life orb gives also nice little boost for tinkaton's attacks so this little gal really hits hard even against bulkier pokemons.
- Dachsbun @ Leftovers
- Ability: Well-Baked Body
- Tera Type: Fairy
- EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
- Impish Nature
- - Play Rough
- - Wish
- - Protect
- - Body Press
Dashbun is my physical tank,(i might change teratype to something else like fighting togive body press a stab), thanks to well-baked body, i can use this doggo to take fire attacks which my meowscarada,froslass and tinkaton are weak to, making it for fire type pokemons a bit harder to hit my team, and pokemon is surprisingly physically tanky.
- Meowscarada @ Choice Band
- Ability: Protean
- Tera Type: Grass
- EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Jolly Nature
- - Flower Trick
- - U-turn
- - Knock Off
- - Trick
Protean wth u-turn, knock off and flower trick makes her pretty nice. Using band boost and trick with it, could lock away some of pokemons opponent have like special attackers or substitute setups which would mess with some stall strategies aswell.
- Sylveon @ Leftovers
- Ability: Pixilate
- Tera Type: Fairy
- EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
- Calm Nature
- IVs: 0 Atk
- - Hyper Voice
- - Wish
- - Protect
- - Psyshock
I always love sylveon and try adjust it inside my team at any point time as being very specially defensive bulky pokemon hyper voice and psyshock being always good two use on it while wish protect to keep herself or team healthy.
- Walking Wake @ Choice Specs
- Ability: Protosynthesis
- Tera Type: Water
- EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Timid Nature
- IVs: 0 Atk
- - Hydro Steam
- - Hydro Pump
- - Flamethrower
- - Draco Meteor
Very fast and strong pokemon, specs giving it a huge boost for special attacks and having decent speed, it can be destructive. Ofcourse if i used torkoal with it for sunny day boost, it would be even more stronger, but opponents might also use sunny day team or even rain team which would make this dragon a beast in both weathers! Might replace hydro pump with hurricane for rainy teams.
- Froslass (F) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
- Ability: Cursed Body
- Tera Type: Ice
- EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Timid Nature
- IVs: 0 Atk
- - Ice Beam
- - Shadow Ball
- - Destiny Bond
- - Spikes
