Hello everyone and welcome to the display of my Pokemon Showdown team. I hope I can get some good feedback that will allow me to make this team better.
1. Entry Hazard Supporter
Ferroseed @ Eviolite
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spd
- Gyro Ball
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
- Leech Seed
Ferroseed is my main residual damage user and is a great pokemon for setting up entry hazards as well a crippling fast threats like Weavile, Crobat, and Ambipom and getting iron barbs damage if they attack. The downside of this set is it's tendency to become taunt bait and potentially give up a free sub of boost on the forced switch. But overall, Ferroseed has the typing, movepool, and access to eviolite that a good NFE wall can definitely take advantage of.
2. Dual Screen Supporter
Cresselia @ Light Clay
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 108 Def / 148 SDef
Bold Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Lunar Dance
Cresselia is a dual screening mixed wall that can take pretty much any hit coming from a UU pokemon and set up a screen to destroy their offensive powers. Cresselia is an optimal supporter with access to Lunar Dance to fully heal a worn down sweeper and potentially save a match. I adjusted the EV's to give her exactly 322 in both defenses and 444 HP. I know this set is taunt bait, so I have been contemplating either Psychic, for strong STAB, or Hidden Power Fighting to cripple unexpecting dark and steel types.
3. Rapid Spin Supporter
Blastoise @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 Def
Calm Nature
- Scald
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic
- Roar
Blastoise is my spinner and special wall with phazing and stalling capabilities. Blastoise is only in this team because he is the only spinner with good bulk and synergy with my team. I normally get lucky with burns from Scald, which definitely helps out on the physical side. I prefer Roar over Dragon Tail because of it's ability to break through Substitute, better accuracy, and therefore it's reliability.
4. Physical Sweeper #1
Weavile @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Ice Punch
- Night Slash
- Brick Break
- Swords Dance
Weavile is an awesome sweeper with access to swords dance and, with this set, super effective coverage on 11 types and a 125 base speed stat. I often use Weavile as a surprise lead and set up a Swords Dance on a switch and proceed to wreak havoc, sometimes winning in 7 turns, assuming my opponent doesn't have a scarfer. With Rapid Spin support, Weavile can be one of the best revenge killers in the game, as well as destroying other common threats at full health
5. Physical Sweeper #2
Virizion @ Leftovers
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Leaf Blade
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Swords Dance
Virizion is one of my favorite pokes to date, and has an awesome move pool, even though I essentially copied the smogon set, and a good attacking ability in Justified. I used to have a Calm Mind Virizion with max Special Def, but I got tired of the low accuracy of Focus Blast. Now SD Vrizion destroys with great coverage from Stone Edge. I think Sub could also be a viable option, but Virizion badly needs the coverage.
6. Special DESTROYER OF WORLDS!!!!!
Chandelure @ Life Orb
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball
- Substitute
Chandelure is my final pokemon who absolutely wrecks with the unexpected Energy Ball on an obvious SubSplit set. Chandelure now hits Blastoise, Suicune, Swampert, and Rhyperior for Super Effective damage, to name a few. I have been in countless scenarios in which Energy Ball punched holes in a bulky water type. Behind a Sub, Chandelure will smash anything, besides Snorlax, that gets in it's way.
