As my first mono team was a success, I've decided to make another one! Steel is the most defensive type out there, so I thought why not try that?
HERE WE GO!!!!!
Birdie (Skarmory) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
This bird was an idea from Jar Jar, and I love it! Brave Bird for STAB, Roost to heal, Spikes for some handy hazards and Whirlwind to switch up the gameplay!
Fairy (Jirachi) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 236 SpD / 20 Spe
Naive Nature
-Iron Head
-U-Turn
-Fire Punch
-Healing Wish
Fairy FTW! I really like Jirachi because of its even stats and its wide movepool. Iron Head and Psychic are STAB, Fire Punch is coverage, and Healing Wish... Healing Wish is really helpful. A Ground type could absolutely smash my team, so recovery is definitely vital.
Molta (Heatran) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
Timid Nature
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
-Stealth Rock
-Lava Plume
-Toxic
-Roar
Another great Jar Jar idea! Stealth Rock for hazards, Lava Plume for STAB, Toxic for slowly destroying and Roar to get their Pokemon hurt by Stealth Rock!
Pengi (Empoleon) @ Life Orb
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
-Surf
-Flash Cannon
-Drill Peck
-Ice Beam
Pengi!!! This is a very simple set, Flash Cannon & Surf are STAB and Drill Peck & Ice Beam are coverage. That's all there is to it!!
Oryx (Steelix) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 SpD
Jolly Nature
-Iron Defence
-Dragon Tail
-Earthquake
-Gyro Ball
You can't get much more defensive than Steelix. Its mind-blowing defense stat can be put to amazing use. Dragon Tail can do damage and make your opponent switch out, Iron Defense boosts that crazy defense even further, so you wont have to worry too much about physical sweepers. Earthquake is for that well-needed STAB, and Gyro Ball is STAB too. It is really handy on Steelix because of its terrible speed.
Tank (Aggron) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Rock Head
EVs: 116 HP / 252 Atk / 140 Spe
Adamant Nature
-Heavy Slam
-Head Smash
-Rock Polish
-Ice Punch
"WOAH. LOOK AT THOSE CRAZY MOVES, HEAD SMASH AND HEAVY SLAM ARE GOING TO WIPE OUT THAT AGGRON." Nope. Rock Head is such a brilliant ability as it stops recoil. Here we also have Rock Polish to speed this Tank up, and Ice Punch for coverage.
There we go! That was my Mono-Steel Team!! Now for the credits!
Guidance: Smogon
Sprite Maker: KnightOfDragon/$tarfire
Improver: Jar Jar
Thank you, and good night!
