Decided before I took on X-League, I'd get some advice/opinions on what my team will/could be. This of course, once I beat Amy/ever beat Amy. So with that said, here goes. (I'll add the seventh soon).
@ Life Orb
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Fake Out
- U-turn
- Hi Jump Kick
- Rock Slide
Chang will probably always be my lead, this of course, assuming I know singles are coming. Rock Slide will help in Triples/Doubles. U-Turn to scout, Fake Out for priority and help in triples. HJK for STAB.
@ Focus Sash
Trait: Unburden
EVs: 252 Atk / 164 Spd/ 92 Hp
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Leaf Blade
- ThunderPunch
- Swords Dance
- Outrage
Most people who've watched my league battles know that Septus isn't a push over by any means. I tweaked his moveset, replacing Seed Bomb with Leaf Blade, and Hone claws with Swords Dance. Thunderpunch and Outrage for coverage.
@ Choice Scarf
Trait: Moxie
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Flamethrower
- Dragon Claw
- Rock Slide
- Shadow Claw
Chomps will be replacing Chunkybum the Dragonite, mainly because I like Salamence more. Anyway; Fairly standard, Rock Slide for Triples/Doubles Support, Flamethrower to take care of Steel types that think the can wall him, and Shadow Claw for coverage.
@ Eviolite
Trait: Trace
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Thunder Wave
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Recover
A.I. the annoying wall returns for X-League! This time, with T-Wave support! However, it's fairly standard, so nothing to elaborate on.
@ Life Orb
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd/ 4 Hp
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Psystrike
- Flamethrower
- Thunderbolt
Orion here will be my Uber. He has more bulk than Dumbledore did, and as such will almost always be ready to kick some ass and take some hits if need be. Psystrike for STAB destruction! Flamethrower for Steel types, grass, etc. Ice Beam for Dragons/anything weak. T-bolt for even more coverage. Basically, this guy will love X-League.
@ Lum Berry
Trait: Flame Body
EVs: 128 HP / 40 Def / 112 SAtk / 228 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Bug Buzz
- Quiver Dance
- Heat Wave
- Hidden Power [Rock]
Having used ol Buzzkill on my main team plenty, I decided I was familiar enough with him to try him out in league. So, here's Buzzkill the Volcarona. Other than Heat Wave, which is for Triples/Doubles. The set is standard.
@ Life Orb
Trait: Steadfast
EVs: 128 Atk / 128 SAtk / 252 Spd
Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)
- ExtremeSpeed
- Aura Sphere
- Flash Cannon
- Crunch
I needed something for my annoying Ice weakness. So, I went with Rex. He's mixed so he can take on any situation he needs to. Extremespeed for priority, Aura Sphere for STAB and a never miss move. Flash Cannon for STAB, and Crunch for Psychic types like Reuniclus.
