Zen Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Inspiration struck again after the Heartless/Nobodies teams Fire monotype, with all six pokemon featured as one major villain from the Final Fantasy series --- Chaos (Charizard) (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Blaze EVs: 220 Atk / 112 Def / 56 SDef / 120 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Fire Punch - Earthquake - Rock Slide - Dragon Dance Yunalesca (Ninetales) (F) @ Air Balloon Trait: Drought EVs: 48 Def / 208 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Flamethrower - Energy Ball - Psyshock - Nasty Plot Kefka (Volcarona) (M) @ Lum Berry Trait: Flame Body EVs: 228 Def / 24 SAtk / 252 Spd Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Bug Buzz - Flamethrower - Hidden Power [ice] - Quiver Dance Necron (Chandelure) (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Shadow Tag EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Flamethrower - Shadow Ball - SolarBeam - Sunny Day Gilgamesh (Magmortar) (M) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Vital Spirit EVs: 144 Def / 108 SAtk / 20 SDef / 236 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Flamethrower - Thunderbolt - Psychic - Hidden Power [Rock] Sephiroth (Blaziken) (M) @ Air Balloon Trait: Speed Boost EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Brick Break - Shadow Claw - Earthquake - Swords Dance --- A considerably standard fire monotype, that is probably unusual since it leads with a DD charizard. Chandelure's a source of backup sun in case of surprise opposing weather, and ninetales herself is a great offensive pokemon. You'll have to trap the opposing weather source, though. The unholy trinity of volcarona, blaziken, and Scarfed magmortar form the bulk of the team's offensive capability. Magmortar's a surprise Scarfed attacker, while the other two aren't that obscure in the fifth generation (hence I'll leave them description-less as is). This themed monotype was named more for appearance of the characters, so I guess you could easily see how it came about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Once Tyranitar is able to Trap and kill Chandelure, it will be relatively easy to stop this team with a well-built Sand team. Having Charizard as your only hope against Heatran is not reliable. Being a lead, it will most likely take alot of damage, and even if you switch you will most likely die of Stealth Rock, which mauls your team into pieces.

Last I knew, chandy has Shadow Tag, not the other way around... Unless you meant tyranitar being sent in after chandelure revenge kills something (something not as easy to do with this particular team). A fire monotype basically gets trolled by Stealth Rock, barring Taunt, Magic Coat, and/or torkoal. And since blaziken also can handle heatran, I'm not intimidated by those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) You do realize that pursuit > chandelure. Yes, I did imply that it will be sent in after Chandy kills something and Pursuit it, making it unable to escape. A solarbeam from chandy in the sun doesn't do that much damage to Tyranitar.

Zen Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hmm, now I get what you meant - haven't seen a Pursuit tyranitar in a while and so it slipped my mind... In that case, chandelure would be screwed, yes In sun, most tyranitar I've seen didn't survive the Solarbeam - perhaps the trends now favor less bulky tyranitars compared to the older Pursuit ones. Honestly, if there's something tricky about building teams, it would be that even EV's seem to follows trends, and so a workable set may need to be altered over time XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Ah, I'm sorry. I haven't been on PO for so long my mind is still set in the early days of B/W when everyone prefered specially bulky tyranitar xd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
