So I decided to make a Pokemon team of the RU tier, that's Mono-Ghost and Mono-Dark! I thought it would be fun to make a team like this. A cool thing about Mono-Ghost is that they're immune to Rapid Spin, but I didn't know where to fit in a ghost or dark type Stealth Rock user, so if someone could find me one I will love you forever as a friend. Anyway this team is designed because I wanted to try out something different than what I normally do. Anyway, enjoy the team!

Lead
Rotom @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Calm Nature
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Volt Switch
- Shadow Ball
- Will-O-Wisp
When I made this Rotom as lead, I wanted to try out something different other than the SubSplit set. I had never seen this moveset before, ever. So I decided to try it out. Here's how it works. Hidden Power Fighting is for trying to take care of dem dark types. Rotom's Special Attack stat and EVs also help with this. Shadow Ball is for STAB and in case I'm trapped in battle (somehow) by Mean Look or something. If these circumstances are NOT present, I go along and use Will-O-Wisp and burn the opponent. When that's over, I use Volt Switch and switch to either Dusknoir or Absol. Depends. Volt Switch is also great STAB.

Sweeper
Absol @ Life Orb
Trait: Super Luck
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Jolly Nature
- Megahorn
- Night Slash
- Sucker Punch
- Superpower
I LOVE using Absol on my teams! I'm so glad it's in the RU tier <3. Anyway this set is a basic Sweeper set. Life Orb, EVs and all. It's all standard.

Tank
Dusknoir (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Def / 252 SDef / 4 Atk
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Shadow Sneak
- Body Slam
- Brick Break
Using him for the first time. I decided to go and make him a tank. As soon as he switches out from Rotom, he starts tanking. Earthquake is strong :3. Shadow Sneak is for physical STAB and for Priority. Body Slam is for the chance of paralyzing my opponent, so I added it in and will try to use it whenever the chance rears it's head in. Brick Break is for Dark Pokemon coverage.
___
ResTalk Spiritomb
Spiritomb @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Dark Pulse
- Shadow Ball
Ah, Spiritomb, the line between Ghost and Dark. Running a ResTalk set? I don't know if this has been used before, or if it's horrible and I'm dumb enough to use it, but meh. Rest and Sleep Talk are for the basic ResTalk procedure. Dark Pulse and Shadow Ball are Special STAB.
___
Double Dance
Crawdaunt @ Leftovers
Trait: Adaptability
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Crunch
- Dragon Dance
- Swords Dance
- Waterfall
Here I'm running a double dance set with Dragon Dance and Swords Dance raising my attack a LOT. Crunch is an awesome STAB move. Waterfall is my last move. It has decent power, it also has a chance to make the opponent flinch.
____
Staller
Mandibuzz (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Big Pecks
EVs: 252 Def / 252 SDef / 4 HP
Careful Nature
- Roost
- Taunt
- Toxic
- Brave Bird
I'm stalling with Mandibuzz. Firstly, I use Taunt to stahp any bad moves like Will-O-Wisp from coming my way. Then I use Toxic if I be versing a powerful tank, wall or another staller to knock away their HP. I'll use Brave Bird to inflict damage and be rid of danger from the opponent using Taunt. Since Brave Bird has recoil, and the opponent will only be able to damage me thanks to taunt, I added in Roost for healing.
