Hi guys! I've never made a team before, but I have always been interested in building teams to use in-game. I was hoping someone could lend some helpful input to my team as well as tell me what a good lead off might be! Thanks in advance <3
-------The Team------
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def
0 Sp
Impish Nature
- Leech Seed
- Power Whip
- Spikes
- Gyro Ball
I have my spiky guy over here to help me set up spikes and in general be very annoying with leech seed. I have gyro ball as a STAB steel type move for coverage. I have been using it as a lead so far, but I am not sure if there is a better option.
Weavile @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash
- Low Kick
- Foul Play
Weavile is my main revenge killer who can get some hard-hitting moves in like that priority Ice Shard. I used to run it with knock off but that is gone now, so if there is a better Pokemon now, I am willing to try some new things out. I have life orb on just to add some more power.
Dragapult @ Choice Specs
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Shadow Ball
Dragapult here is my Dynamax Pokemon. I use it more as a late-game sweeper who can get out of choice lock which is neat. He hits hard and has some great coverage that I lack, especially in thunderbolt.
Corsola-Galar @ Eviolite
Ability: Cursed Body
EVs: 252 HP / 156 Def / 100 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Strength Sap
- Will-O-Wisp
- Haze
- Night Shade
Another annoying Pokemon here, but it is one of my favorites. A pretty standard set with will o wisp for burns and strength sap for recovery. I have night shade on as of now but I don't know if hex is better to play off of the burn effect. Also, while I have another stealth rock setter, I am debating running it here because corsola is good against rapid spin users.
Excadrill @ Focus Sash
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Rock Tomb
My stealth rock setter here who makes use of rapid spin as well for clearing hazards. I have never used Excadrill before, but I needed some form of coverage with its ground typing. I have not really experimented with it yet so I don't know if it will do much but I am interested to try.
Toxapex @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Toxic Spikes
- Scald
- Recover
- Toxic
My final annoying Pokemon that I feel works well with Thorn+Gcrosola . He's a good tanky 'mon to help me wall some threats my team is weak against. I have toxic and TSpikes on it just because I never find myself in situations where I have really needed to use Haze, so I prefer crippling with Toxic in most situations. Recover is there for obvious reasons too.
Thanks for taking the time! Again- I'm new here so I don't know of the descriptions give enough to work on, but I try!!
xoxo thanks <3
