Format: Gen 7 Smogon OU
So this is my team, that I made not long ago. I am new to teambuilding and figured someone might give me some hints and point out what I am doing wrong.
Volcarona @ Buginium Z
Ability: Swarm
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute
- Quiver Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Giga Drain
I started from volcarona, I gave it substitute so it can go down to swarm safely and block status moves. I maxed out the hp so it has better chances of surviving water shuriked after setting up
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Protect
- Leech Seed
- Knock Off
And since volcarona is weak to water, I have this ferrothorn. It sets up the rocks and helps the team out with knock of and leech seeds
Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Magma Storm
- Protect
- Taunt
- Will-O-Wisp
I needed something that will help me with fire so here's heatran. Willowisp is to punish switch ins like lando t and gliscor and taunt is to stop pokemon that switch in from using defog or setting up
Tapu Fini @ Leftovers
Ability: Misty Surge
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Defog
- Taunt
- Moonblast
- Protect
Tapu fini is another pokemon that ressists water and my defog, moonblast is for bonus damage and protect is to recover some health with leftovers
Thundurus-Therian (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Defog
- Focus Blast
- Hidden power Ice
Thundurus is here to switch in on electric moves and use defog if tapu fini fails to do so
Mimikyu @ Life Orb
Ability: Disguise
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Shadow Sneak
- Play Rough
- Swords Dance
- Drain Punch
Mimikyu has a fighting immunity so it helps ferrothorn and heatran. In misty terrain it can revenge kill something like an unburden hawlucha.
Feel free to tell me what my team needs and what are the issues with it
