Coming back to the game, i created my own team. I just want it to be competitive so your suggestions would very appreciated!
Metagross (lead) @ Lum Berry
Nature - Adamant
252 HP/ 252 Atk / 4 Speed
Ability - Clear Body
Moveset:
-Earthquake
-Stealth Rock
-Meteor Mash
-Bullet Punch
The main purpose of Metagross is to set up the rocks. Its high Atk and HP make it even more difficult to defeat so it will always manage to make a set up. Definetely Lum Berry for status problems such as Sleep etc.
Bronzong (Dual Screener) @ Light Clay
Nature - Relaxed
252 HP/152 Atk/96 Sp.Def/8 Def
Ability - Levitate
Moveset:
-Light Screen
-Reflect
-Earthquake
-Explosion
With such defenses its easy to set up your barriers for your party pokemon. Earthquake over Gyro ball because it covers more types and Explosion when he has low HP and want to deal big damage. I dont have any problem sacrificing him for the good of the team as Gengar usually gets 2 kills balancing the Pokemons.
Gyarados (Core 1) @ leftovers
Nature - Jolly
252 Atk/252 Sp./4 Def
Ability - Intimidate
Moveset:
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
Has done great in testing. A great sweeper. The only problem is that i have a hard time playing Dragon Dance, which is very important.
Jolteon (Core 2) @ Life Orb
Nature - Timid
252 Sp.Atk/252 Speed/4 Sp.Def
Ability - Volt Absorb
Moveset:
-Charge Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Shadow Ball
-Hidden Power Ice
Not my favourite Pokemon, but it makes a lot of synergy with Gyarados. The fact that i can switch to Jolteon, when Gyarados is about to be hit by an Electric move and still gain Hp from Volt Absorb makes Jolteon very good. Charge beam is for raising its Sp.atk even more. My problem with Jolteon is that it may not KO its opponent and get KOed itself easily. It doesnt remain in my party for long due to its bad defenses.
Salamence (Core 3 + Revenge Killer) @ Life Orb
Nature - Jolly
252 Atk/252 Speed/4 Def
Ability - Intimidate
Moveset:
-Outrage
-Dragon Dance
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast
With this Speed and Atk its a thread for everything. Mostly for dealing with dragon type pokemons like Dragonite etc. Again Dragon Dance is a bit tricky to play. On the other hand Outrage is the best move. Life Orb for massive dmg.
Gengar (Revenge Killer) @ Choice Scarf
Nature - Timid
252 Speed/252 Sp.Atk/4 Def
Ability - Levitate
Moveset:
-Shadow Ball
-Thunderbolt
-Focus Blast
-Explosion
Not only one of my favourite pokemon, but also one of the quickest one especially with choice scarf. In my opinion, he is one of the best revenge killers and provides a wide variety of moves. Again its low defence is a problem though.
By the way EVERY suggestion will be considered and i dont have any problem switching 2 or 3 pokemons if necessary. Thank you for the time you spent rating my team and i wish good luck in your games.
