I like NU, because it gives me a chance to use pokemon you don't normally see. That is pretty much all this team is: pokemon I haven't tried using before. But I still want it to be good, so please make suggestions if you have any.
Wigglytuff @ Assault Vest
Ability: Competitive
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Charge Beam
- Hyper Voice
- Dazzling Gleam
- Flamethrower
Wigglytuff is surprisingly bulky with the Assault Vest. Charge Beam is to holpefully boost your Special Attack. From there, it has dual STAB moves, with Flamethrower for coverage.
Girafarig @ Choice Specs
Ability: Early Bird
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 SDef
Timid Nature (+Spd, - Atk)
- Hyper Voice
- Psychic
- Dazzling Gleam
- Energy Ball
A fast Choice Specs user, pure and simple.
Golem @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Rock Polish
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Sucker Punch
You don't normally see a speedy Golem, but it can work surprisingly well, although is better if Sticky Web is on the field. You use the first turn to Rock Polish - Golem will survive because of Sturdy. Hopefully, your Weakness Policy is activated. Now sweep with dual STABs and Sucker Punch for priority.
Avalugg @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SAtk)
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Avalanche
- Mirror Coat
- Crunch/Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
Mirror Coat may seem like an odd choice, but if Sturdy is intact, then he can take a Special hit, and KO the attacker. It is a great surprise move. I can't decide whether to go with Crunch for coverage, or Rapid Spin, because so many of my team rely on there being no rocks on the field.
Meowstic (M) @ Light Clay
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spd / 4 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunder Wave
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Psychic
A dual screener, and generally annoying pokemon. It is walled by Dark types, but it isn't a sweeper anyway.
Ariados @ Focus Sash
Ability: Swarm
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Sticky Web
- Shadow Sneak
- Megahorn
- Cross Poison
This is usually my lead, to get the Sticky Web up, which is very useful because of how slow most of my team is. Focus Sash ensures I get a chance to use Sticky Web. From there, it is all-out attacking. Shadow Sneak for priority, and Megahorn/Cross Poison for STAB. Megahorn is even powered up by Swarm if the Focus Sash has been triggered.
