Rate my Vaguely Dark Monotype Team-The Black Death

Question

Hiya I'm Bounce. I just joined today and if I accidentally PM'd a Moderator or something my condolences. I am a noob at Competitive Battling, but I'm anything but bad. With 1193 points, I'm actually pretty good for someone who only started TODAY!
Anyway, Dark is my favorite type, and I originally planned on making a Psuedo-Dark team. You see ingame trainers like Lance, Steven, and Iris having psuedo-dragons? Well I thought it would be nice to see psuedo-Darks. So what I have is a vaguely-monotype squadron, called The Black Death.
Psuedo Darks:
Dusclops
Chandelure
Reuniclus
Cofragius
Gothitelle
Volcarona
My favorite and first Mon, T-Tar, was a staple. For the Psuedo-Darks, I have tried Choiced Chandelure, Eviolite Dusclops, and even Jellicent but they all failed. So eventually, I had a perfect team:

Oh Sh*t He (Kyurem-Black) @ Choice Band
Ability: Teravolt
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Fusion Bolt
- Outrage
- Iron Head
- Stone Edge
Before I used this team-killing Choicer, I used Krookodile, who would die when a crumpled piece of paper is thrown at it, who nevertheless won me wars with his Outrage. I would never want a Special Kyurem, but Black Kyurem doesn't really have a very good Physical Movepool, so it was the best I could do. I found it surprising that it isn't Uber, whereas Blaziken(who frankly, I don't think is very good at all) is. 4 Special Defense makes BK 2HKO'd by Special Biased Dark Pulse Greninja. Iron Head 2HKOs T-Tar at least, and sometimes flinches. Fusion Bolt is basically a Physical Thunderbolt, which is impossible to oversee.

FlamesOfFury (Volcarona) (F) @ Charti Berry
Ability: Flame Body
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Bug Buzz
- Fiery Dance
- Psychic
- Giga Drain
The Ultimate Moth. Volcarona is easily the best Bug-Type Poke, mega-evolved or not. Fiery Dance is her signature move and usually bolsters an already-awesome Special Attack, as well as dishing out decent damage. Bug Buzz is annoying, lowers Special Defense and Cripples Walls like Goodra, Sylveon, and Umbreon. Giga Drain kills Mega Swampert, Regirock, and allows recovery. The Charti Berry is there for safety-even though regardless, it still has no chance at tanking a Stone Edge from a decent Bander, it is 3HKO by Rock Slide Hitmonchan, AncientPower, and any special rock attack(there is only one actually, if I recall). This allows it to tank Rock Tomb Breloom, and other popular set.
Mega Destroyer (Tyranitar-Mega) (F) @ Tyranitarite
Ability: Sand Stream
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 156 HP / 252 Atk / 100 Def
Adamant Nature
- Pursuit
- Fire Punch
- Stealth Rock
- Dragon Tail
My favorite pokemon, my mascot, my life. Stealth Rock+Dragon Tail gets out any threats, Fire Punch OHKO's Ferrothorn, Pursuit kills Mega Mewtwo Y, and makes a dent in Celebi or Jirachi. She is also very bulky; she has survived a Play Rough from a banded Azumarill, and no unboosted Close Combat has been able to 3HKO it.....yet. This tyrant destroys tanks, wins wars, and fights like a boss.
Cola (Regice) @ Life Orb
Ability: Clear Body
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 8 HP / 248 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Signal Beam
- Focus Blast
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
I don't really have much to say about this set.....no Special move has ever been able to 4HKO it, boosted or not. I originally used the Assault Vest, but that would mean Base 350 Special Defense, which would start to be excessive. The Life Orb insures a defintie KO because of its passable Special Attack and wide movepool. Stealth Rock has never seemed to hurt it, and my team has never had any trouble with hazards, and never will...hopefully.....

Inferior (Rhyperior) (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Solid Rock
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def
Careful Nature
- Aqua Tail
- Crunch
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
At first glance you see Rhyperior as an obnoxious, eye-rolling noobish piece of garbage that ignorant fanboys use. It IS, but with an Assault Vest, it becomes a Supertank and when coupled with Mega Destroyer's Sandstorm, his SpD can go up to 738, being 6HKO'd by Surfs. I chose not to invest in the Special, because when I did formerly, it kept being killed by Terrakion.
High Dragon (Hydreigon) (F) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Dragon Pulse
- Flamethrower
- Dark Pulse
- Earth Power
No description needed-she kills everyone in her path.
Well, I'm open to suggestions, and I would love it if you could mention Psuedo-Darks I haven't thought of(this is a completely new concept.).

Comments

For "The best bug-type, mega evolved or not," Volcarona loses a ton of health due to a little thing called Stealth Rock. And Hydreigon? Poke it with a Fairy-type move and it falls over dead.

---

And as for Fire Punch one-shotting Ferrothorn: 252+ Atk Mega Tyranitar Fire Punch vs. 252 HP / 88+ Def Ferrothorn: 288-340 (81.8 - 96.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

I meant Generically, Radicool. But thanks for the calculations, though. Volcarona has a Charti Berry.

Answer 1

Well, for a dark type team, you have 2 Dark types, and no other Pokemon is even related to darkness in any way... Bit disappointed... Dark is my fave type too and I am making a proper Mono-type Dark team, but anyway, I shall begin analysis.

First problem. Massive weakness to Fighting type. Swords Danced Mega Lucario + Close Combat = Tyranitar dead, Kyurem dead, Hydreigon dead, Regice dead. Something else quite common that could do the same, Choice Band Terrakion. Both would 2-Hit Rypherior too. Both also have Rock Slide or Stone Edge which will destroy Volcorona, and both are very common.

Consider revising your team :)

Comments

Thanks; I am considering giving either Rhyperior or Regice a Chople Berry, because both can absorb a Close Combat with that. Since Dusclops Eviolite is extremely bulky, I might replace Rhyperior with that. You're right about the Close Combat thing- I might add Psychics, too.

---

Something I would suggest for a Dark-Type team would be a Focus Sash Malamar with Topsy-Turvy. It would break any set-up sweeper and with Psychic and Super Power (with contrary) would deal a fair amount of damage to Lucario and Terrakion (I would guess about 3-Hit KO). Just be careful about using Topsy-Turvy on a Close Combat sweeper as it will increase their defense. This would also increase your weakness to Bug types. I would suggest swapping either Hydreigon or Kyurem for the Dusclops (Eviolite, Will-O-Wisp, Skill Swap, Shadow Sneak, Pain Split), or instead of Dusclops maybe try a Porygon-2 (Eviolite, Conversion 2, Toxic, Defense Curl and Recover).

---

Thanks again I can sort of see Porygon2 being Dark-related. BTW I am debating with myself on whether to amplify The Pseudo Dark Concept; anyone in the right brain could understand Chandelure, Vileplume, and Gothitelle being Pseudo-Darks. I am considering removing Hydreigon and putting in something that can put Eviolite to good use. With Chople Berry I have found that Regice is the ultimate counter to Mega Lucario which would otherwise maul my team as you stated. And I put Malamar on my team.
