Team around a useless pokémon

[Savior37]

Hi all guys, while im testing my other OU team i thought about build a team around my fav pkmn, Typhlosion. But i didnt know that he is serious useless D: His only good role is to spam a full hp Eruption.

Typhlosion (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Eruption
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Grass]
So, as said before, i started from my fav pkmn. He has only to spam Eruption so he needs to preserve his hp. First i tried to create a core for him with Tangrowth, able to check bulky water and ground types.
I choosed CScarf set to let him come into play when all the opponents are damaged, and to finish them with a powerful eruption. Other moves are for more coverage.

Tangrowth (F) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Giga Drain
- Knock Off
- Focus Blast
- Rock Slide
A great bulky grass pkmn imo. STAB and Focus Blast for coverage, Knock Off because he is always a good move and Rock Slide to hit fire types and flying types, like Fletchinder, Braviary, Delphox.

Steelix (M) @ Steelixite
Ability: Sturdy
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 96 Atk / 76 SpD / 84 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Heavy Slam
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic
One of the best pokemon in the tier. I choosed him because he can check pkmn like Escavalier and Durant, which are serious problems for Tangrowth, while the plant can take bulky waters. Finally he can also set Stealth Rock.

Flygon (M) @ Life Orb/Choice Band
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Def / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Stone Edge
A very versatile pkmn. He is usually used as defogger, but not in this case. He is just the physical sweeper of the team with a great synergy with the other members. I thought to a Special set too, with Fire Blast/Earth Powa/Dracometeor/U-turn, but then i have not physical sweepers.

Jellicent (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 216 Def / 44 Spe
Bold Nature
- Taunt
- Will-O-Wisp
- Recover
- Scald
This great bulky water can give a great support to the team spamming WoW and Taunt, more with his great type he can nullify opponent spinners. In this role i thought to choose Blastoise too, becoming the spinner of the team, but im not sure of this idea.

Togetic (F) @ Eviolite
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
- Dazzling Gleam
- Roost
- Defog
- Heal Bell
Finally here u are the last pkmn. I choosed him because while i was reading for the checks of my team i saw that they were all vulnerable to fairy type, in particular to Togetic, but i am not sure of this choice, maybe because i am not able to use this pkmn, or maybe because he is the defogger of my team but he is weak to stealths. Finally he is really slow...
I thought to put on Granbull in his place (to have a fairy type in team), so Flygon should become the defogger, or maybe put on Blastoise as spinner...

I really need help pls D:

Another time thank you in advance and sorry for my english D:

Hi really nice team have some suggetions though:

>

In RU typlosion is basically not viable be to it being outclassed by many Pokmon in the RU tier but I think Delpox fits the bill here instead. Delphox a better speed tier then typlosion and also even more powerful. Delphox get rid of Fighting-Types that can plow through your team such as Hitmonlee and Sawk. Delphox also break common bulky stall and balance cores like slowking Mega-Lix or Flygon Mola.

I just suggest a set change for this to a more bulkier variant. This EV spread allows you to live a plus 2 Houndoom Dark Pulse and avoid the 2 Hit OHKO with Psyshock from Delphox also outspeeds Adament Tyrantrum and such. This gives you a check to the just mentioned Houndoom another threat to your team and Emboar. Togetic has basically became a lackluster defoger as of late being an easy switch into common threats also being worn down by rocks is also a real negative.

>

Spirtomb over Jellicent. Meloetta looks like a probleam especially of its Sub CM or about variant. Foul Play is over something like taunt to to better beat thing like Fletch or Virizion who tries to set-up on spirtomb. Spirtomb is Alo's a better Fighting-Type switch in then Jelly not being weak to Knock Off.

>

Venasaur over Tangrowth. Like I metioned your team is still highly probleams by Virizion and AV Growth I just screamin to be set-up bait for Virizion on the other hand Venu can atleast 2 hit OHKO Virizion with Soudeg Bomb. You also don't lose much from getting rid of growth since you already have a ground immune and Venu can still check opposing water types.

Other Suggetion:

I would find a replacement for Togetic if you choose to use Flygon maybe something Aromatisse or Grandbull.

That's all good job with the team :)

Hi and thank you for the rate.

I'll try Delphox but i think i will continue to use Typhlosion, he is my fav pokemon and i like to have him in a team D:
Ok for the other advices.
I'm sure i will replace Togetic, now there is Flygon as defogger. I think i will use Granbull, he was in my list for this place. He can heal the team like Aromatisse, but he give a high offensive presence. I have to take Intimidate as ability or i can take Quick Feet (for more speed, then i can heal with Heal Bell)?

Their is no reason to use Quick Feet Grandbull outspeeds nothing escais cloy since you'll use a more defensive spread
