Mikzal Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 This is my first try on the Reborn League. Rate my team. Donphan: Adamant, Leftovers, Sturdy, 252 Def / 252 Att / 6 HP Scizor: Jolly, Life Orb, Technician, 252 Att / 252 Spd / 6 HP Greninja: Timid, Life Orb, Protean, 252 Sat / 252 Spd / 6 HP Gengar: Timid, Life Orb, Levitate, 252 Sat / 252 Spd / 6 HP Lilligant: Timid, Leftovers, Own Tempo, 252 Sat / 252 Spd / 6 HP Dragonite: Jolly, Leftovers, Multiscale, 252 Att / 252 Spd / 6HP Scald or Hydro Pump over Surf on Greninja? Maybe Blizzard over Ice Beam? Maybe Grass Knot? I like to be fast (so much Timid and Jolly), but is there something that should be changed with the natures and the EV's? I also see that the only items i have are Life Orb and Leftovers. Should I change something about that too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Extrasensroy is not worth on Greninja, and I advise keeping Surf. Scizor could make more use out of a banded set consisting of BP/Bug Bite/Superpower/Quick Attack (trust, quick attack is god on it) Other than this, I don't see too many issues, especially since it's /your/ team~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notus Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) You seem to have a pretty good type coverage, but I'll pass on an advice I received when making my team: think carefully about using set up sweepers, since you'll have lots of triple battles to face. And I agree with Silver, CB Scizor is a freaking monster. Edited April 16, 2014 by Notus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I agree with the above sentiments and stuff- setup sweepers aren't as effective in this, though having one is good. Spread moves are insanely good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikzal Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 But there aren't only triple battles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 That's the thing though: You need balance. 99% of the time, when a leader see that your team has a setup user (Cloyster with Shell Smash, i.e) they're going to fight you in triples, so the setup becomes almost "useless".

Notus Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) ^ yep, if your team is clearly singles oriented, most of them will see it and choose triples, and the contrary is true too. Edit: I just remembered, Luna runs Mat Block in Greninja, that could be a good way to set up a sweep in triples, though it may not be worth the loss of coverage.

Mikzal Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Oh. So the leaders decide what type of battle it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notus Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Yes, and they can see you card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikzal Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Well shit. Time to change a few things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 The leaders tend to stack their teams and battle types specifically to counter your team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magus Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I lacked a pokemon with a good spread move, and my team just got wrecked every time, so I have to make a new one and try again. I highly suggest you avoid set-up mons. You will be punished in triples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
