I'm currently stuck with team building in sun and moon so here I am.
here is the basic layout of I team I've been working on and what type of strategy I want to use.
Any recommendation would help. Thank you!
So the team is as follows
Tapu Koko @ Choice specs/ electrium Z
Timid nature
Evs- 252 sp. atk, 252 spd, 4 sp. def
IVs- 0 atk
- Thunderbolt
- Dazzling Gleam
- volt switch
- hp ice
The idea here is simple, hit fast and hit hard. I couldn't decide between specs or the electrium Z. I've tried both and I think both fit relatively well. I would've liked to have mega manetric because of lightning rod/ intimidate support but the mega stone isn't released yet.
Charizard @ Charizardite X
adamant nature
Evs- 252 atk, 252 spd, 4 sp. def
- dragon dance
- roost
- dragon claw
- flare blitz
All I wanted was a physical sweeper that was immune to burn. This is fairly self explanatory in that regard. I was worried about Tapu fini with this set but plugging it into a damage calculator, flare blitz still does about 40% at +1, which isn't too horrible.
Scizor @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Knock Off
- Defog
- Roost
I liked this set back in gen 6, 8 evs in attack with an adamant nature still 2HKO's clefable with max hp and defense with a bold nature (magic guard). Also, I wanted something to deal with stealth rocks that hinder charizard.
Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Soft-Boiled
- Moonblast
- Flamethrower
I wanted some form of a special tank. My preference for clefable is magic guard, just because I hate getting status stalled. Also something that doesn't mind traps for when scizor is out is nice. Other than that, self explanatory.
Rotom-Wash @ Red Card
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD / 4 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Pump
- Volt Switch
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split
I wanted something for will o wisp and scout so rotom- wash was my best choice. 4 evs in speed is just so I break spped ties with other rotom. That has been both good and bad. if I get a pain split off on a rotom, I can get health back first before it tries to ko me. It's also bad because if we both volt switch he sees my switch first. Red card is just me trying to be trolly. I like red card because of the force to switch. it usually gives me an extra turn to set up or get a free switch.
Umbreon (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Heal Bell
- Wish
- Toxic
- Taunt
I wanted some recovery for all my guys, so I liked both heal bell and wish for a support cleric. Toxic and taunt are also there for other status support. again, 4 evs to try and break speed ties with other umbreon. that way taunt shuts them down before I get taunted. Also, I was considering vaporeon because of scald, but synchronize is more supportive for this.
Thank you again, please let me know any recommendations you might have!
