Mono-type team 2- Ice

[Kuramahiei1091]

Okay so I enjoy mono type teams, I think they're neat. So I'm going to make a mono type team for each type. I only have 3 rules.

1. Each pokemon on the team must have the specified type
2. No legendaries (jury's still out on Wobuffet's eligibility for a psychic team due to his uber classification)
3. Each pokemon can only be used once. As in, Charizard may be on the fire team or the flying team, but not both.

This one started as six ice-types put together, but slowly became a mono-ice hail stall, I'm not sure if I like it that way completely yet, but it's worth a shot.

Abomasnow @ Leftovers
Timid Snow Warning
6 Atk/252 SpAtk/252 Speed
Substitute
Leech Seed
Blizzard
Focus Punch

Usually for these teams I make a rule that all pokemon must have at least one base stat of 100, but I'm letting Abomasnow slide if I keep this as a hailing team. Snow warning is the only way to cast definate hail. THe EV's should do the balance of faster than Hippowdon, so I can KO it, but slower than Tyranitart so I get the weather. Substitute and Leech seed Are for defensive purposes, Blizzard for the 100% Stab base 120 attack, Focus Punch covers things like TTar, and works well with Substitute, but I'm thinking of changing it to either Wood Hammer (Added stab and coverage, worried about the recoil though, I may also change the EV's then) or Toxic (Yay ever MORE residual damage, which lets Toxic work faster)

Froslass @ Focus Sash
Timid Snow Cloak
4 Def/252 SpAtk/252 Speed
Spikes
Destiny Bond
Shadow Ball
Ice Beam

Yay Spikes! I may or may not switch this to the lead. I feel Abomasnow is still better since it can trigger Snow Cloak. Froslass sets up spikes for even more non-attacking damage. Destiny Bond lets me take something with it. Shadow Ball and Ice Beam provide Dual Stab with nice coverage, although I may replace one with Taunt, should I?

Cloyster @ Leftovers
Relaxed Skill Link
252 HP/252 SpDef/6 Atk
Toxic Spikes
Icicle Spear
Rapid Spin
Explosion

Toxic Spikes helps add more residual damage and with hail (plus possible leech seed from Abomasnow) The Toxic damage reaches 3/16 at turn two plus leech seed and hail with equates to about 30% or so between turns. Icicle Spear with Skill link, can be a sub killer, and a killer to things weak to Ice. Rapid Spin helps eliminate hazards, and Explosion is for one last shot, although I may switch one out for Spike Cannon to abuse Skill Link

Walrein @ Leftovers
Bold Ice Body
220 HP/240 Def/48 Speed
Substitute
Protect
Roar
Surf

Ahh the epic 32 turn wall. Ice Body + Leftovers restores half a substitute, then protect to regain back the lost health and you can substitute again. This works extremely well alongside Cloyster's toxic spikes. Roar helps shuffle, phaze, eliminate counters, and poison more things. Surf is for when I need to attack as it has stab and better coverage than Blizzard.

Mammoswine @ Expert Belt
Adamant Snow Cloak
252 Atk/252 Speed/6 Def
Earthquake
Ice Shard
Stone Edge
Stealth Rock

My big Physical Attacker. Snow Cloak helps Mammoswine stay alive, while opponents ownt like stab (possilby belted) EQ or Ice Shards, stone edge for extra coverage and Stealth Rock adds another layer of damage with Spikes.

Lapras @ Leftovers
Modest Water Absorb
192 HP/112 Def/160 SpAtk/44 SpDef
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
Rest
Sleep Talk

My Bulky Special Attacker. Packs the infamous BoltBeam, but also has great bulk, absorbing water hits and status. I was thinking about replacing rest/sleeptalk with Surf for stab coverage and toxic so I have another Toxicer, should I?

Okay so this is my Ice team, what do you think?

 

[AiedailEclipsed]

Just curious but why no Glaceon?

 

[Zeta]

Or swap out one of the Ice/Waters for Weavile?

 

[Kuramahiei1091]

Umm, for the most part, I kinda just overlooked it probably, I'm not a big fan of eevee evolutions, what would you suggest I take out for it?

 

[AiedailEclipsed]

I'm not one-hundred percent sure, really, I use one for my in-game team (not EV/IV trained) it's at about level 48 and just about anything (except bulkier resistances) will go down in about 2 hits. It has the defence needed to take them and then it Ice Beam (depends on what you'd want to use). But thats just my personal experince.

 

[Zeta]

I noticed you're really, really vulnerable to Fighting-type Pokemon. A good Lucario / Machamp duo might be able to take out your entire team. Have you considered perhaps using Jynx, ugly though she be? Or teaching Frosslass Psychic?

 

[AiedailEclipsed]

Zeta's right, it would blow you to pieces in seconds.

Glaceon would be lovely right then if it would learn Mirror Coat AND Counter...

 

[Kuramahiei1091]

I'll have to think about Glaceon. As for Jynx, I have considered it, it was my sixth before I switched Abomasnow in, I think most is because it is so ugly, I'm not sure what to replace for it though.

 

[The Fool on the Hill]

I think Glaceon's high Special Attack plus a 100% accuracy STAB Blizzard would be a welcome addition.

I would throw Weavile in there somewhere, too.
