So let's jump right into it!
TEAM
EVs, IVs and Movesets
Тачанка (Gastrodon-East) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Force
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Recover
Эх, тачанка-ростовчанка. Tачанка is the star of this team and a quite unexpected one really, since not many people think of Gastrodon as an offensive threat, but it can be quite oppressive if used right. Earth Power and Hydro Pump are mandatory stab moves, with Earth Power even receiving a boost from Sand Force if Sand is active, Ice Beam being important coverage to catch a Grass-Type on the switch and Recover being the last move, being used to recover from Life-Orb damage. This EV spread ensures a good bulk while having a good Special Attack.
Анархія-мама (Hippowdon) (F) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 8 Atk / 248 Def
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Slack Off
- Stealth Rock
- Whirlwind
Анархия-мама сынов своих любит (why are you looking funny at it? the song is catchy) and indeed she does love her sons, in fact, Анархія-мама makes the team function! This is a generic spread for phisically defensive Hippodown, 252 HP and 248 Def to get that bulk going and 8 Atk just because. Earthquake for that sweet sweet damage, Slack Off for annoying recovery, stealth rock because hazards and Whirlwind just to be even more annoying.
Чорна Aрмія (Aegislash) @ Choice Band
Ability: Stance Change
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Iron Head
- Close Combat
- Shadow Sneak
- Shadow Claw
Death, to all who stand in the way of Чорна Aрмія, for the Black Army has arrived, and just like the actual Black Army was during the Russian Civil War, Aegislash is brutal and efficient. This Aegislash has Iron Head and Shadow Claw for mandatory strong STAB, while Shadow Sneak is here because priority is always appreciated and Close Combat is an important move, since it hits a lot of stuff and hits hard. This EV spread allows Aegislash to maintain a good ammount of bulk while being oppressive with overwhelming offense, and the 8 speed are to get the jump on stuff like Clefable.
Белая Aрмия (Alakazam) @ Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Nasty Plot
Белая Aрмия готовит престол Царю еще раз, the White Army has arrived to causa havok in the Area and prepare the throne for the Tsar. This Alakazam has Psychic as a mandatory stab move, Shadow Ball for coverage against ghosts and Focus Blast to keep Steel and Dark types away (if he doesn't miss of course), while Nasty Plot can serve to boost Белая Aрмия's SpA to an astonishing level. And as you can see, this is in fact, just the standart Alakazam, but it's still a threat none the less
Гражданская Война (Ferrothorn) @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 124 Def / 128 SpD
Impish Nature
- Spikes
- Leech Seed
- Knock Off
- Power Whip
Just like the civil war this team is inspired by, this Ferrothorn is annoying and it hurts. Spikes makes for annoying chip damage in conjuction with the more common Stealth Rocks from Анархія-мама, Leech Seed makes this pokemon even more annoying and hard to take down and it even supports the other team members, Knock Off is used to remove the itens from the opponent and hit the ocasional Ghost and Psychic hard, with Power Whip as a powerful stab. This EV spread is the one that I've been using for ages now. Giving Ferrothorn the maximum possible HP, 361 Def and 300 SpD, making it more resilient to some weaker Non-Stab special fire type moves and also makes it more resilient to Special Moves in general.
Красная Aрмия (Excadrill) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Rush
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Iron Head
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
Красная Армия всех сильней! And in this case it indeed is! Excadrill, like always, is a monster in the battlefield, with rapid spin to get rid of hazards and becoming faster without the need for sandstorm, swords dance to make Excadrill's attack even higher, Earthquake is the generic damage move and also a powerful stab, and Iron Head s also a powerful stab to defeat the damn fairies such as Clefable.
And that's it, I hope you liked it, and yes, all these names were inspired by the Russian Civil War, and I am sorry if I misspelt something, mainly in the Russian and Ukrainian parts, since my knowlodge of both languages is still quite limited.
