Aegislash @ Leftovers
Stance Change
Brave
252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SpD
King's Shield
Sacred Sword
Shadow Sneak
Sword's Dance
Aegislash is my spinblocker and alternate lead if my opponent has a Magic Bouncer. He is also used as a setup sweeper. Sacred Sword for Steel types. Leftovers for longevity.
Blastoise @ Blastoisinite
Torrent -----> Mega Launcher
Modest
252 HP / 96 SpAtk / 160 Spe
Aura Sphere
Dark Pulse
Rapid Spin
Water Pulse
Blastoise is my bulky rapid spinner. He has Dark Pulse to kill spinblockers and Aura Sphere for Ferrothorn. Water Pulse is chosen over Hydro Pump for higher accuracy, more PP, and chance to confuse opponent. 96 EVs in Special Attack allow it to 2HKO anything that doesn't have resistance. Speed EVs combined with Sticky Web support allow it to outspeed most tanks.
Garchomp @ Choice Band
Rough Skin
Jolly
252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Poison Jab
Stone Edge
Dragon Claw is safer than Outrage because of Fairy types. Stone Edge and Poison Jab for coverage. Earthquake for STAB. Choice Band to make up for Dragon Claw's lower power.
Smeargle @ Focus Sash
Own Tempo
Timid
252 HP / 252 Spe / 4 Def
Spore
Stealth Rock
Sticky Web
Toxic Spikes
Smeargle is my suicide lead and entry hazard setter. Spore for anything that he can outspeed. Focus Sash to for a guaranteed 2 turns minimum.
Talonflame @ Life Orb
Gale Wings
Adamant
252 Atk / 132 Spe / 124 HP
Brave Bird
Flare Blitz
Roost
Sword's Dance
Revenge killer and late-game sweeper. Brave Bird and Flare Blitz for STAB. Roost for priority recovery. Life Orb for extra damage.
Venusaur @ Black Sludge
Chlorophyll
Modest
252 HP / 152 SpAtk / 76 Def / 28 SpD
Giga Drain
Growth
Sludge Bomb
Sunny Day
Setup sweeper and rain counter. Weird EV spread to make it tanky. Black Sludge for longevity. Sunny Day to counter rain and make setup easier. Can setup Talonflame switch. Sludge Bomb for Fairies and STAB. Giga Drain is for STAB and recovery.
I've been playtesting various versions of this team on Pokemon Showdown and it wins most of the time. The only problem I've encountered is it's very easy for my team to get swept if my opponent has a chance to setup. But I'm unsure how I'd counter that without sacrificing coverage. I'm new to competitive battling so any feedback would be much appreciated.
Cheers :)
