Daybreak!
Hi, it's me again. Bringing another team! Yay, aren't you excited?! ...No? Okay. :C ...Anyway, without further ado, here goes.
@ Eviolite
Trait: Trace
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SDef
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Recover
- Magic Coat
- Thunder Wave
I wanted a creative lead for this team, something different from my usual Stealth Rocks set up. After some thinking, I remembered seeing some people using Magic Coat on Porygon2, thought about it, and it was really just genius. Thus, this little guy was born. Anyway, as mentioned before; Magic Coat serves as a turned based Magic Bounce, reflecting anything back, whether it be Rocks, a Taunt, or a status inflicting move. Recover to gain some health back, Thunder Wave to slow down pesky set up sweepers, and Ice Beam for some form of damage output, and it helps with dragons.
@ Lum Berry
Trait: Mold Breaker
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Brick Break
To be honest, Haxorus is only here because I had no idea what to use for the final spot, so any help with that would be splendid. Anyway, I believe this set is standard on DD Haxorus so I won't go into much detail. Dragon Dance for boosts, and the rest to pretty much wreck havoc on the opponent.
@ Leftovers
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Toxic
- Scald
- Flamethrower
- Slack Off
Slowbro is the physical wall of the team, and one of the best in my opinion. Set is fairly standard. Toxic to wear down other pokes, Scald for STAB and a nice chance to burn physical sweepers, Slack Off to regain some life force, and Flamethrower for pokemon like Scizor, Genesect, and Ferrothorn who think they can just switch in on him.
@ Flame Orb
Trait: Guts
EVs: 128 HP / 128 Atk / 252 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Payback
- Ice Punch
Conkeldurr serves as my bulky sweeper, and with this set, he can pretty much touch anything. I considered Lefties over Flame Orb, but decided to go with the extra power that the Guts boost would provide. Drain Punch gives him his precious life force back, while Ice Punch and Payback deal with Gliscors and Jellicents respectively. Bulk Up is subject to change, possibly for Stone Edge so I at least have something to hit Volcarona with.
@ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Body Slam
- Stealth Rock
- Fire Punch
- Wish
The special wall of the team. Jirachi is known for its great use of Serene Grace, and I tried to impliment that onto this set. Body Slam hits ground types, still giving you a chance to paralyze those that would normally avoid Thunder Wave, while Wish provides decent recovery not only for Jirachi but the others too,making it great for support. Fire Punch is mainly for those pesky Bug/Steel types such as Scizor and Genesect. And Stealth Rocks is mainly filler, but it's nice to have the option for them, so I went Rocks over Protect.
@ Choice Scarf
Trait: Shadow Tag
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Energy Ball
- Hidden Power [ice]
- Shadow Ball
- Overheat
Chandelure is my special attacker/sweeper. It's pretty much the standard set for trapping walls like Skarmory and Ferrothorn/Forretress, and set up sweepers such as Dragonite. I was using the lesser known Sub-Calm mind set, but this set proved more useful to the team overall, so I went with it.
I included a threats list to help make it easier as to what replaces Haxorus, I was thinking a proper special sweeper since Chandy is mainly for trapping things, but I don't really know, honestly. Anyway, hope you like the team, be sure to rate and leave suggestions. Importable for anyone who may want to use it themselves.
