This is my first competitive Pokemon team that I made for XY. I've used it a few times in Pokemon Showdown, and it seems to do quite well.
Please give feedback on how this team can improve.
Forretress @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spd
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic
- Gyro Ball
Forretress is mainly used to set up its Stealth Rock, and Rapid Spin whenever there are any hazards on the field. His secondary role is a physical wall.
Garchomp @ Choice Band
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Fire Fang
- Dual Chop
Garchomp is used as a physical-sweeper. Choice Band is used to boost Garchomp's attack even higher. Outrage and Earthquake are his two main sweeping moves, while Fire Fang is used to get past foes such as Ferrothorn, and Dual Chop is used to get past Subsitute or Focus Sash.
Mawile @ Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Play Rough
- Iron Head
Mega-Mawile is the second physical attacker. One Swords Dance can allow Mega-Mawile to OHKO/2HKO many enemies. Sucker Punch is the preferred attacking move, as it has priority, while Play Rough and Iron Head are there mainly for coverage or when I predict the opponent is going to use a non-damaging move.
Gengar @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Sludge Bomb
- Thunderbolt
Gengar is the special-sweeper in the team. Choice Scarf is used to make sure Gengar attacks first, as Gengar is quite frail and is often OHKOed. Shadow Ball is the main attacking move, while the rest are there for coverage.
Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 144 HP / 112 SAtk / 252 SDef
Calm Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Thunderbolt
Rotom-Wash's primary role is a special-wall, and is able to sponge in a lot of special attacks from the enemy. Furthermore, Rotom-Wash is able to function well as a special-attacker as well.
Porygon2 @ Eviolite
Ability: Trace
EVs: 252 HP / 104 Def / 152 SDef
Bold Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Thunder Wave
- Recover
Porygon2 is used as a mixed tank. With Evolite, Porygon2's defence and special defence stats become quite high, and is extremely hard to take down. Porygon2 is often the Pokemon I rely on when I need to tank a few hits.
