FraRPetO Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Greetings, allow me to present this unique team of mine. It is made for triple battles, although it won't do bad for doubles either. I gathered a few of the rarest seen pokemon, with the exception of Lanturn as it's a very good pokemon with great typing. And most of the pokemon in this team does not depend on speed, they depend more of taking hits and damage opponents. Any suggestions are always appreciated. Lanturn (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Volt Absorb EVs: 240 HP / 192 Def / 76 SAtk Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Surf - Discharge - Ice Beam - Rain Dance Lanturn, it's a very cool pokemon with nice typing. This Lanturn is no different. It is gonna STAB Surf or Discharge in triple battles and power up Maractus with its Storm Drain and Emolga with Motor Drive. Rain Dance is to weaken fire damage against Maractus, and power up Surf. And finally, Ice Beam for types that are weak to it. Maractus (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Storm Drain EVs: 240 HP / 108 SAtk / 160 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Cotton Guard - Giga Drain - Ingrain - Hidden Power [Fire] Maractus, so very rare in this game. Its storm drain is useful in triple battles on this team and prevent water type damage to other party pokemon. Cotton guard to raise defence, Ingrain to get more HP restoration and prevent force switching moves. Giga Drain will be its STAB attack with ability to heal as well. After Storm Drain surf boosts, it will be deadly for those that don't resist grass type attacks. Hidden power fire will be for those that resists grass; like steel, bug and grass types. Grumpig (M) @ Light Clay Trait: Thick Fat EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 SDef Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Reflect - Light Screen - Heal Bell - Psyshock Good old grumpy Grumpig. Grumpig is this team's supporter with screens and Light Clay to make them last longer. Heal bell is for status problems and it's always useful. Psyshock is for taunt users, or if I don't need to use screens or heal bell. The reason for Psyshock instead of Psychic is because I only have two physical attackers, so it deals damage according to opponents Def stat. Thick fat for more fire/ice resistance. Emolga (F) @ Life Orb Trait: Motor Drive EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Discharge - Air Slash - Hidden Power [Fighting] - Encore Emolga is this team's super fast special attacker if Lanturn effectively uses discharge in triple battles. It can also heal Lanturn with discharge as it has the ability "Volt absorb". Outstanding ability. Hidden power fighting as this team does not have a single fighting type attack. Encore is for those who use dragon dance, swords dance or any stat boosting move and prevent them from attacking. Seviper (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Shed Skin EVs: 136 HP / 252 Atk / 16 Def / 104 SDef Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk) - Coil - Sucker Punch - Aqua Tail - Poison Fang Seviper is an extraordinary pokemon. Being a poison type will make the toxic spikes disappear if the opponent has used them. Coil is to boost attack and defence. With both screens, this pokemon can be a quite srong pokemon that is not easy to defeat. Sucker Punch is for faster pokemons, as well against Psychic pokemon. Aqua Tail is for against dangerous ground types as it will hit hard during rain. Poison fang for STAB attack with a solid chance of badly poisoning. It's ability shed skin will be useful if this pokemon gets burned, and if my grumpy Grumpig isn't available. Girafarig (M) @ Cell Battery Trait: Sap Sipper EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Agility - Zen Headbutt - Return - Earthquake Girafarig, one of my favourite pokemon. (Due to having swept an entire OU team with it in only 9 rounds) *Still proud* With Sap sipper, it will be immune to grass types, as well boosting its attack stat. Also useful if the enemy has spore moves. With agility, it's gonna get lightning fast, enough to outspeed some fast pokemon. Zen headbutt is the STAB attack along with Return. Earthquake those who doesn't resist it. Cell battery item will be a good use to this pokemon, as I have 2 electric type pokemon with discharge. It will boost my attack stat. With Normal/Psychic typing, the ghost types will have no effect on this beast, as well as normal damage against fighting types and no doubt survive Mach Punch. nrutnaL (Lanturn) (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Volt Absorb EVs: 240 HP / 192 Def / 76 SAtk Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Surf - Discharge - Ice Beam - Rain Dance sutcaraM (Maractus) (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Storm Drain EVs: 240 HP / 108 SAtk / 160 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Cotton Guard - Giga Drain - Ingrain - Hidden Power [Fire] gipmurG (Grumpig) (M) @ Light Clay Trait: Thick Fat EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 SDef Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Reflect - Light Screen - Heal Bell - Psyshock aglomE (Emolga) (F) @ Life Orb Trait: Motor Drive EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Discharge - Air Slash - Hidden Power [Fighting] - Encore repiveS (Seviper) (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Shed Skin EVs: 136 HP / 252 Atk / 16 Def / 104 SDef Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk) - Coil - Sucker Punch - Aqua Tail - Poison Fang girafariG (Girafarig) (M) @ Cell Battery Trait: Sap Sipper EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Agility - Zen Headbutt - Return - Earthquake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Can't say that I approve of that Maractus set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phazer Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Maractus takes all of surfs attack? All pokemon that would be hit by surf all go to Maractus, and ingrain can still be phazed out I think. I don't like this team, doesn't make sense.

No, Maractus gets surf boosts, while the opponent takes damage Also, I changed ingrain to leech seed, against those with higher health Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Perhaps run Icy Wind on lanturn? Helps with your speed issues I wouldn't recommend Earthquake on girafarig - Crunch or Double Kick may be better options, depending on how you tailor the rest of the team.
