After changing up my team several times, I feel that I may need to switch maybe one or two Pokemon to make it better; it's doing fairly well now but does need some work. Hence why I posted it here.
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic
- Spikes
- Protect
My lead, at the moment. Sets up Stealth Rock and Spikes, and can paralyze the opponent. Good stalling capability if necessary to heal itself with Protect + Leftovers.
Gyarados @ Life Orb
Trait: Moxie
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Bounce
- Waterfall
Meant to be a Dragon Dance sweeper. Bounce for opposing Grass-types, because switching to Gliscor in the face of opposing Electric-types seems to work for the moment. Moxie for an additional attack boost after a successful sweep to make it sweep even ore effectively.
Lucario @ Choice Specs (?)
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Aura Sphere
- Dark Pulse
- Vacuum Wave
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Choice Specs Lucario for a special sweeper. Its two standard moves, Aura Sphere and Dark Pulse for coverage, plus Vacuum Wave to outspeed Terrakion and HP Ice for Gliscor. Not sure about Choice Specs for this set though, it would hinder versatility a bit. Feedback would be appreciated.
Chansey @ Eviolite
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Toxic
- Seismic Toss
- Softboiled
- Heal Bell
Special wall, as my team desperately needed one. Also has Heal Bell for team recovery and Seismic Toss to do damage.
Zapdos @ Yache Berry
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 140 HP / 252 SAtk / 116 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Roost
- Heat Wave
- Hidden Power [Grass]
Meant to be a switch-in attacker, usually from Gliscor, especially when threatened by opposing Gyarados. Roost for longevity, HP Grass for threats like Swampert and Gastrodon that would otherwise wall it.
Heatran @ Air Balloon
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Lava Plume
- Substitute
- Earth Power
- Dragon Pulse
Substitute attacker. Air Balloon to protect against Earthquake. Probably needs tweaking, I'd appreciate feedback.
Thoughts?
