Cool Girl Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) So, this is a new team I made awhile back. It's so-so I believe. AT A GLANCE So, as you can see, this is a team centered around Mega Diancie. THE TEAM Princess (Diancie-Mega) @ Diancite Ability: Clear Body EVs: 248 SpA / 8 Atk / 252 Spe Naive Nature - Protect - Moonblast - Diamond - Hidden Power [Fire] So, I always like to have a Mega on my teams and I wanted to try out Mega Diancie. Crooks Key (Klefki) (M) @ Light Clay Ability: Prankster EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpD / 252 Def Impish Nature - Thunder Wave - Reflect - Light Screen - Foul Play I knew I needed a stealth rock setter, but I thought instead of a stealth rock setter, why not go with Reflect/Light Screen. I also saw many people go with Klefki so I thought of trying it out. So, basically, Klefki is the pokémon I always lead with in order to set up Reflect/Light Screen. Also, if it doesn't faint, I just put Thunder Wave and then try to attack with Play Rough. Excavate (Excadrill) (M) @ Choice Scarf Ability: Mold Breaker Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Earthquake - Rapid Spin - Iron Head - Rock Slide Even though Excadrill has Rapid Spin, I don't lead with it. Excadrill is my physical attacker in this team. Earthquake + Choice Scarf is really strong. However, it's a bit hard to use Rapid Spin since it has Choice Scarf, so if possible, I would like another item to put on Excadrill if possible. Washington (Rotom-Wash) @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD Calm Nature - Volt Switch - Hydro Pump - Will-O-Wisp - Pain Split So, Rotom-Wash, as you have guessed it, is my "switch-in" pokémon. Like, for example, I switch out one of my pokémon to Rotom. Well, anyways, you get the point. Kid (Weavile) (M) @ Life Orb Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Low Kick - Ice Shard - Knock Off - Icicle Crash Weavile is another one of my physical hitters. It has Knock Off so that if the opponent switches, I will the surprise the opponent by knocking off its item. Big Blaze (Talonflame) (M) @ Sharp Beak Ability: Gale Wings EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Brave Bird - Roost - Swords Dance - Flare Blitz Talonflame is the strongest physical hitter here. Swords Dance + Sharp Beak + Brave Bird KOs any pokémon. However, it has recoil and can't take hits, which is why I have Klefki set up Reflect/Light Screen first so that it can take damage. I also have Roost on it so that it can recover from Recoil.

Cool Girl Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Give diamond storm to diancie and foul play kelfki, over wise it seems fine to me.

YinYang9705 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) well i was just reccoumding moves but sure Princess (Diancie-Mega) @ Diancite Ability: Clear Body EVs: 248 SpA / 8 Atk / 252 Spe Naive Nature - Protect - Moonblast - Diamond Storm - Hidden Power [Fire] Crooks Key (Klefki) (M) @ Light Clay Ability: Prankster EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpD / 252 Def Impish Nature - Thunder Wave - Reflect - Light Screen - Foul Play Edited June 16, 2016 by YinYang9705 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad_ Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Alright alright, let's see what we do have here. Screens aren't so important in a team imo, and honestly i don't think Klefki is so necessary as well. Btw if you're going to keep it the set seems perfectly fine to me. If you decide to replace it btw, then do it with a Sand Setter. A pokémon like Hippowdon or Tyranitar is a perfect choice for this, and imo Tyranitar makes a better use of Sand Stream in general since its SpD is raised with it. Also, your team covers it well Hippowdon @ Leftovers Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Bold Nature - Earthquake - Stealth Rock - Rock Slide - Slack Off A base Hippo Set. Immense Defensive Wall and Rock Setter, Earthquake and Rock Slide deal some important damage to the right enemies. Slack Off allows this monster to survive during the match. There is really nothing else to say about Hippo, wich is also one of my favourite mons in the competitive scene. Tyranitar @ Smooth Rock Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 248 HP / 80 Def / 180 SpD Relaxed / Sassy Nature - Roar - Crunch - Stone Edge - Stealth Rock This is the choice i recommend you more btw. It adds some general Bulk to the team and it has 3 functions: 1) A really good wall (on both the defenses, even if it's more suited to take Special hits) that can and will hit hard 2) Forms a nice core with Exca and Talon 3) Resolves the problem of Excadrill's Item (Simply change it's ability with Sand Rush and give it a Life Orb) Roar blocks any setup, wich is nice in OU. Crunch and Stone Edge are 2 powerful STABs that combined with TTar base Atk will deal a considerable amount of damage in a good number of situations. Stealth Rock puts some hazards on the field. The rest of the team looks kinda good, but if you decide to switch Klefki for TTar/Hippo then you'll have 4 Water weaknesses. The best way to resolve this would be replacing Diancie, but since the entire team it's built around it this a solid no. Perhaps, you should change its HP from Fire to Grass Diancie @ Diancite Ability: Clear Body EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 25 Spe Timid Nature - Moonblast - Protect - Hidden Power [Grass] - Diamond Storm That's all i guess. Honestly it's the first time i have to rate a Diancie based team so i don't know very well what options are the best for it. I still think my suggestions are good tho. Maybe you could try a Stall Talonflame to have extra Bulk or add U-Turn for a core with Rotom-W but it's not so crucial. Hope i helped! EDIT: Forgot to say, Poison Jab on Weavile imo is better than Low Kick. It also gives you overall a better Fairy counter Kid (Weavile) (M) @ Life Orb Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Poison Jab - Ice Shard - Knock Off - Icicle Crash Edited June 15, 2016 by AndSoThereIsSt3ffo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJMistery Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Consider running Talonflame itemless and with Acrobatics. The lack of recoil is worth the (120*1.2)-110=144-110) 34 base power difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
