My Normal type team:
I choose the normal type because frankly they aren't normal, no more normal than any other pokemon.
Also Normal typing is great, the ability to absorb ghost type attacks and only 1 weakness to fighter, as a type they shouldn't go amiss on any team
People also criticise normal type moves, there great, not only is there a huge variety of effects and powers but there hit neutrally nearly every type in the game.
Normal pokemon are seen as inferior to other types, i'd like to prove otherwise.
(THE WAY THE TEAM IS DONE WILL BE BASED ON THE IPGL)
Let us start with my lead:
Ambipom:
Nature: jolly
Ability: technician
Item: life orb
EVs: hp - 4 attack - 252 speed - 252
Moveset:
U-turn
Fake out
Taunt
Low Kick
Ambipom is a fanatic lead with technician, fake out will take about 50-75% of frail leads health, to be finished with U-turn. Taunt will stop any setup dead. Low kick is to deal with the many hardier leads and to stop common counters.
My only problem with this ambipom is aerodactal who is to fast and to hardy, though his usage is now much less frequent now.
Porygon-z
(insert Picture l8r)
Nature: timid
Ability: adaptability
Item: choice scarf
EVs: speed- 252 sp. attack - 252 defence - 4
Moveset:
Hidden Power (fighting)
Ice beam
thunderbolt
Tri-attack
Porygon-z is a frail but deadly scarfed duck, he has coverage that will hit all types well, with many super effectives. This is an all round set, the scarf brings his speed up nice and high, so his tasty special attack can be used to the maximum potential. Tri-attacks statuses never go amiss either.
Togekiss
Nature: Bold
Ability: Serene Grace
Item: Leftovers
EVs: hp-252 special defence - 252 defence - 4
Moveset:
Air Slash
Nasty Plot
Thunder wave
Roost
Your standard flinch hax set, it may be noobie but on a monotype team it is like bread and butter, everyone knows how this goes, and i took nasty plot over aura sphere, so that i could even smack down a blissy and other more defence pokemon.
Staraptor
Nature: adamant
Ability: intimidate
Item: Choice Band
EVs: hp - 4 attack - 252 speed - 252
Moveset:
Brave Bird
Close Combat
Return
U-turn
This staraptor can decimate a team given the chance,with brave bird, even if its resisted it can take over half of a pokes hp away, anything that comes near it, gets a smack in the face, even if it does die quickly, it will drag anything it can to the floor with it.
Snorlax:
Picture spot)
Nature: impish
Ability: thick fat
Item: Leftovers
EVs: hp - 200 defence - 184 special defence - 126
Moveset:
Body slam
Curse
Rest
Earthquake
A curelax set, this can sweep a team, or just a single pokemon, i'm fine with either, but snorlax always packs a punch, or a slam really, he can dent any team; this set gives slightly more defence evs, to help ward of those nasty fighting attacks before i've cursed up.
Linoone:
(Picture here)
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Gluttony
Item: salac Berry
EVs: hp - 116 attack - 252 speed - 136 special defence - 4
Moveset:
Belly Drum
Extreamespeed
Shadow Claw
Seed Bomb
The ultimate one turn set up, and if allowed to do so, will murder any team, its only problem is steel pokemon, it cant hit though them, but will always make a hole in there Hp, there is also a magnezone - steel counter as a wild card.
(Now on to the 'Wild Cards' according to the rules of IPGL i can have two as long as one has a normal move)
Dusknoir:
Picture
Nature: impish
Ability: pressure
Item: Leftovers
Evs: HP - 252 attack - 100 defence - 156
Moveset:
Shadow sneak
earthquake
Pain Split
Will-o-wisp
My lovely dusknoir is my way of saying thanks to all of the fighter and ghost types for comming, before whittling them down to nothing. He is my primary defence, the evs are slightly more offensive that normal dusknoirs, this is so that shadow sneak and earthquake, pack that bit more damage. He is one of the most vital counters needed in a normal team
Magnezone:
Picture
Nature: Adamant
Ability: magnet pull
Item: leftovers
Evs speed - 218 special attack - 252 attack - 40
MoveSet:
Hidden Power ( fire)
Explosion
Thunderbolt
Substitute
My final Pokemon on this team, he is a perfect way to rid me of all those steel types that seem to get in the way, plus his decent special attack anyway means that thunderbolt will take a decent amount off anything that doesn't resist it. the 40 attack evs are to make sure explosion rids the enemy.
Ok there is my Normal Team - please rate comment, what ever pictures will come soon.
Any ideas and improvements would be great.
thx!
