I'd like to hear some opinions and suggestions for my team. I use it for both Singles Battle Spot and Link Battles. I've been having some pretty good and interesting battles for this team but I feel like there are some Pokemon that could help out my team abit more. For example I find Arcanine's Intimidate ability really helpful unless there's a Pokemon with Defiant or Contrary. I was also thinking of replacing Excadrill for either Gigalith or Dugtrio.
1.) Excadrill @ Shucca Berry
Ability: Mold Breaker
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP
IVs: 0 Sp.Atk
-Iron Head
-Earthquake
-Stealth Rocks
-Rapid Spin
*Excadrill works well with my team but I find him alittle too Fragile for setting up Stealth Rocks or removing Hazards. He's more of a sweeping Pokemon for me , countering Fairy's and Electric Pokemon.
2.) Tapu Fini @Leftovers
Ability: Misty Surge
Nature: Calm
Evs: 252 HP / 172 Sp.Def / 86 Def
IVs: 0 Atk
-Taunt
-Nature's Madness
-Moonblast
-Scald
* I think Tapu Fini is a great teamate for both Excadrill and my TTar. Her ability really helps against status conditions that could cripple my team. So keeping her alive and healthy is kind of my priority. I would run Haze but I don't want to risk getting rid of my Stealth Rocks. Scald is for hopefully weakening physical attackers with a burn.
3.) Tangrowth @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Regenerator
Nature: Sassy
EVs: 248 HP / 212 Sp.Def / 48 Def
IVs: 31/30/31/30/31/30
-Giga Drain
-Toxic
-Knock Off
-Hidden Power Fire
*Not much to be said but this guy has helped my team quite alot. I always try to save him for a Physical attacker that's already weakened so he can go down from the Rocky Helmet and or Recoil Attack. WORKS EVERYTIME
4.) Gengar @ Fightnium Z
Ability: Cursed Body
Nature: Timid
Evs: 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Spe / 4 Def
Ivs: 0 Atk
-Sludge Wave
-Focus Blast
-Shadow Ball
-Substitute
* A good fast sweeper but I haven't had a good chance of using him yet. Atleast without his megastone. I chose Fightnium Z so I don't miss with Focus Miss (Blast). I usually always miss
5.) Tyranitar @ Assault Vest or Choice Scarf?
Ability: Sandstream
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP
IVs: 31/30/31/31/31/31
-Fire Blast
-Ice Beam
-Stone Edge
-Dark Pulse
*I have more superior sets with other TTars but my Special TTar has been working great. Not alot of people are expecting a Special Set so they usually use their turn on setting up Will-O-Wisp on my TTar. I usually get a guaranteed 1HKO if they switch in on Stealth Rocks or already damage. I find Assault Vest alittle useful but not sure if any of the Scarf Items would be alright.
6.) Arcanine @Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP
IVs: 0 Sp.Atk
-Flare Blitz
-Wild Charge
-Extreme Speed
-Morning Sun
*Extreme Speed is useful for chipping in some damage or finishing some weakened foes. I think my team needs a good fire type Pokemon but Im not sure yet. Im thinking of using Charizard Y but also want to use some other ones. I don't run with Legendaries or Mythicals but Im thinking Moltres would be a good addition to my team.
Update
So I'm using Salamence to take Arcanine's place and I think he's been doing alright. It's sort of a mixed Attacker with the only special he has is Flamethrower. Even with a Impish Nature he still hits pretty hard against steel types.
Salamence @Shell Bell / Life Orb
Nature: Impish
Ability: Intimidate
IVs: 31/31/31/31/31/31
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 Spe. I can't tell the EVs but it looks like max HP and an a even spread on Def and Spe.
-Dragon Dance
-Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Flamethrower
