This is my first team in awhile. So I could be a bit rusty so I might make some mistakes. First of all this is an UU/NU tier team meant to utilize the special events the 'Chu's had received. This is for single battles. So can you rate my team. (BTW, I do not mess with IVs. Sorry, but I dont. I dont have PokeSav, so I cant do it that way. So If I have hidden power for one my pokemon it will only remain there if I get a decent type. If not Ill replace it.)
Lead:
Raichu- Focus Sash
Ability: Static
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Spd, 160 Def, 98 Sp. Def
Moves:
Toxic
Thunderwave
BrickBreak
ThunderPunch
I chose Raichu as my lead because of its 100 base Spd, and decent move pool. I chose Toxic and Thunderwave for statis effects that can criple a lead that comes back later in the game. And Brickbreak for taking down Barriers. And thudnerpunch for taking down flying/water leads.
This is what I call a harrasser cause I dont know what else to put.
(Spiky Eared) Pichu- Focus Sash
Ability: Static
Nature: Naughty (My event Pichu was naughty and I didnt bother trying for a better nature)
EVs: 252 Spd, 252 Sp. Atk, 6 Def
Moves:
Pain Split
Thunderbolt
Magnet Rise
Hidden Power(If good)/ Grass Knot
Pichus reason of being on this team is to take a huge chunk out of walls that underestimate his power. Once a teammate has fallen he comes in and Pain Splits to get severely hurt the opposing wall considering Pichu's low HP. And once its low enough Pichu takes them out with either Thunderbolt or hiddenpower/grass knot.
Also, Magnet Rise is there to cut the weakness to ground as many walls carry EQ.
Special Sweeper:
Pikachu-Light Ball
Ability: Static
Nature: Im not sure because this is the PBR Pikachu so what ever nature I get)
EVs: 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Spd, 6 Def.
Moves:
Surf
Thunderbolt
Hiddenpower/Grassknot
Magnet Rise
Hidden Power/ Grassknot for coverage. Surf is to take out unsuspecting ground walls. And thunderbolt has STAB and plus the lightball, Pikachu's thunderblot will be almost at chuck norris level.
Physical Wall:
Cloyster-Leftovers
Ability: Shell Armor
Nature: Careful
EVs: 252 Sp. Def, 40 Atk, 40 Sp. Atk, 18 Def, 160 HP
Moves:
Explosion
Rest
Avalanche/ Return (I cant decide for STAB or higher base.)
Surf
Since Cloyster has amazingly high defense I felt that it was unnecessary to give it huge amounts of defense EVs. I gave him EVs in sp. def so he doesnt get destroyed by a wall carrying a special move.
Special Wall:
Venusaur-Black Sludge
Ability: Overgrow
Nature: Calm
EVs: 252 Sp. Def, 176 HP, 82 Def
Moves:
Leech Seed
Giga Drain
Sludge Bomb
Roar
Leech Seed, Giga Drain, and Black Sludge give Venusuar his hitpoints back so much that I felt it unnecessary to give it rest, recover, etc. Roar is to swap out a pokemon that could be a threat to venusaur before it can be. Sludge Bomb is just another move for coverage and STAB.
Physical Sweeper:
Moltres-Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Lonely
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 Def
Moves:
U-Turn
Aerial Ace
Will-o-Wisp
FlameThrower
Yes, I know I said physical sweeper and Moltres has flamethrower. Moltres lacks a physical fire type move. I was thinking about using a Houndoom but Moltres's base attack is higher. Tell me whatyou think on that.
So this is my team. Dont even think about posting "Scarfed Donphan would own this team!!!"
Cause I already know that and that is why all three of the other non Raichu evolution pokemon are either strong or neutral to ground. So give me your opinions on this team. This is one of my best teams and one of my most unique.
