Until recently my mono water team didn't have much problems getting wins (or at least close losses) but know it seems too easy to counter. As such any help would be appreciated.
Greninja
Item - Choice Specs
Ability - Protean
EVs: 4 HP / 248 Def / 240 SpD / 16 Spe
Timid Nature
- Extrasensory
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Surf
Used as a fast Special Sweeper to harass a wide range of threats. HP 1Hit Kos Ferrothorn and Extrasensory deals with Mega Venasaur while Surf and Ice Beam cover Dragon, Ground and Rock types.
Cloyster
Item - Focus Band
Ability: Skill Link
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Ice Shard
- Shell Smash
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast
Used as a physical attacker, the plan is to boost Cloyster enough so it can deal massive amounts of damade. Has Ice Shard for Priority to deal with foes such as Breloom
Tentacruel
Item - Black Sludge
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 252 HP / 240 SpD / 16 Spe
Calm Nature
- Protect
- Acid Spray
- Rapid Spin
- Scald
My rapid spinner, allows Cloyster to come in unhindered and acts as a special wal. Liquid Ooze punishes Leech Sed Users while the Acid Spray debuff either causes a switch or makes Scald devastating.
Suicune
Item - Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Rest
- Scald
- Sleep Talk
A long time lynchpin of my water team, the standard Calm Mind, Rest and Sleep Talk strategy still works but now there seems to be dedicated counters. Scald is more lethal then original choice Surf thanks to the chance of a burn
Lanturn
Item - Leftovers
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA
Calm Nature
- Volt Switch
- Heal Bell
- Thunder Wave
- Ice Beam
A strong degensive pivot thanks to electric resistance and Volt Switch. Ice Beam covers its ground weakness and Heal Bell removes the negative effects of burns and ever present Toxic attacks
Azumarill
Item - Leftovers (Formally Saftey Goggles)
Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 252 Def / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
- Scald
- Toxic
- Amnesia
- Substitute
No one suspects a Defensive Azumarill! Sap Sipper helps out against grass teams and Toxic helps harass foes even more. Amnesia, Sub and Leftovers are there to increase longevity.
Wrll that's it. Hope I can get some help with this. All suggestions are welcome and once again Many Thanks for any assistamce.
