i've kind of gotten bored of ou lately and am getting into NU. i'm still new to it though, and here is the team i'm using now, please rate and make suggestions! I'm willing to change anything to make it better
Torkoal (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: White smoke
EVs: 252 hp/252 def
Nature: Bold
- Rapid spin
- Yawn
- Stealth Rock
- Lava plume
This guy is pretty self explanatory, he's my rapid spinner/ entry hazard setter. What i like about him is he can annoy other teams with yawn to no end. I usually try to keep him in to constantly spin away hazards as my team is extremely vulnerable to them.
Linoone (M) @ White Scarf
Trait: Quick feet
EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 spe/ 4 hp
Nature: Adamant
- Belly Drum
- ExtremeSpeed
- Seed bomb
- Shadow Claw
In my opinion, this is one of the most dangerous sweepers in NU, and something all teams should have some kind of check to (mine is haunter), The concept is simple, belly drum, then extreme speed sleep. Torkoal's yawn can sometimes give an opening for a free belly drum, but usually I just have to find one on my own. unfortunately this thing fears ditto, and again that's one of haunter's many uses.
Articuno @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 248 HP/ 252 SDef/ 8 SAtk
Nature: Calm
- Ice Beam
- Toxic
- Roost
- Substitute
I really love this one, he is one of the best special walls and stallers in NU. Because of his EVs and nature, he can absorb even super effective special attacks like a sponge. Plus, because of his ability, PP stall is not to be taken lightly.
Haunter (F) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk/ 252 spe/ 4 HP
Nature: Timid
- Shadow Ball
- Sludge Bomb
- Hidden Power Ground
- Trick
This is my check to many dangerous sweepers and walls. It wrecks walls with trick and outspeeds and OHKO's threats like linoone with sludge bomb.
Marowak (M) @ Thick Club
Trait: Rock Head
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Atk/ 4 Def
Nature: Adamant
- Bonemerang
- Double Edge
- Substitute
- Stone Edge
I'm kind of iffy about this guy, he has great attack because of his item, but this also holds him back. I'd love to stick leftovers, Choice scarf, or something useful on him. I don't know if he's better than the other two I'd like, Braviary and Golurk, so tell me if I should replace him with one of them
Lickilicky (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Own Tempo
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 SDef/ 4 Def
Nature: Careful
- Toxic
- Wish
- Protect
- Heal Bell
This one is team support, obviously, but if prompted to, can toxic, and then wish+protect all day long. I'm considering changing Toxic to Body slam. Tell me if I should.
Well, I guess thats it. please make comments and make suggestions. By the way, I have a big weakness to zangoose, so if anyone can give me a counter to that, that would be great!
