Platinum Strikers
Hello everyone, today, I'm bringing you a electric monotype team. The team is centered around using Electric Surge Tapu Koko + Surge Surfer Alola Raichu (which is the idea I had for the team).
+
Surge Surfer is an ability that allows Alola Raichu's speed to double when there is a electric field present. Tapu Koko activates an ability called Electric Surge, which activates an Electric Terrain which boosts electric moves by 50%. Also, Nature Power can become Thunderbolt or any Electric move and pokémon are prevented from sleeping therefore Rest will fail (I've studied pokémon just deal with it) Now, then without further ado, let's get to the team!
Tapu Koko @ Life Orb
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- U-turn
- Dazzling Gleam
- Grass Knot
Tapu Koko activates Electric Surge, which will boost all Electric types on my team by 50%. Then, U-turn will allow it to switch out while also dealing damage after it activates Electric Surge. Dazzling Gleam also allows it to deal massive damage to Dragon types.
Raichu-Alola @ Psychium Z
Ability: Surge Surfer
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psychic
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Focus Blast
When Electric Surge is activated, Surge Surfer doubles Rachu's speed, therefore making it the fastest pokémon on my team. While Raichu is an Electric type, Alola Raichu is better with its Psychic attack, as it can deal massive damage and it will always go first due to Surge Surfer. It's also why I thought of putting a Psychium Z on it.
Zapdos @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 60 Def / 180 SpD / 16 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Roost
- Defog
- Heat Wave
Zapdos is my defogger. Not much to explain here.
Golem-Alola (M) @ Normal Gem
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Explosion
- Earthquake
- Heavy Slam
Alola Golem is my stealth rock setter. It can also help counter electric type weakness, which is ground. It's also not going to 1 KO because of Sturdy. After that happens, Normal Gem + Explosion should 1 KO most pokémon. In a battle, it manage to kill Mega Venusaur with Normal Gem + Explosion so I'm very grateful to having it on my team!
Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 240 Def / 20 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split
Same here, not much to explain. Use Will-O-Wisp or Pain Split on a pokémon and then Volt Switch to switch out.
Magnezone @ Choice Specs
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Flash Cannon
- Hidden Power [Fire]
Magnezone can KO any fairy-type pokémons. Flash Cannon + Choice Specs guarantees 1 hit KO. Also, Magnet Pull prevents it from switching out, therefore it can kill the faith type on the field. Hidden Power Fire helps deal with Steel types without having to switch out to another pokémon on your team.
