Is there a reason your Orthworm doesn't use all 508 EVs?

---

Same thing with Indeedee?

---

RisingManectric while typing it got vanished XD,now fixed

---

Not to nitpick again, but Orthworm and Indeedee’s EVs don’t total 508/510, and Orthworm’s EVs aren’t multiples of 4.

---

I wouldn't have noticed but yeah indeedee's ev's total 512, remove 4 ev's for one stat or one of your 252 ev's (For example HP or def) as without a focus sash indeedee more often than not gets one tapped anyway) as well as most dark/ghost moves being special

Orthworm also has 260 HP, and all ev's dont go over 252 and moreover doesn't even total 508/510

Answer 1

I like the idea of a bully drum Charizard with the ability Blaze.

For Quaquaval, I know rapid spin is for removing hazards but in my opinion, you can replace the move with wave crash or U-turn as it looks like to be a Fast sweeper. As well as probably changing its Tera type of fighting. But overall, your team is pretty cool :)

Answer 2

If you're just playing for fun then the team is fine. You'll just need to slightly tweak some EVs on Orthworm and Indeedee-F so they are viable for gameplay since 6 Atk EVs are useless with 4 being sufficient + you cant get 260 EVs on a stat and you have to decide between ditching the EVs of a defense stat or putting 4 less EVs on HP (the 2nd option is recommended).

---

If you are, however, planning to properly climb the ladder, then you WILL need vital things in your team like speed control and special attackers.
Special attackers can be Dragapult or Charizard since both have a somewhat good base SpA stat and movepool, Charizard having access to great coverage moves like Scorching Sands, Solar Beam and Ancient Power with Heat Wave to hit multiple opponents and Dragapult has access to the powerful Draco Meteor. Speed control is best done using Regieleki since it is the fastest Pokémon overall and has access to fantastic moves like Volt Switch and Electroweb, which are perfect for dealing decent damage, lowering speed of opposing Pokémon and pivoting.

---

Here are some recommended sets:

Regieleki @ Life Orb/Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Transistor
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest/Timid Nature
- Electroweb
- Ancient Power
- Volt Switch
- Rapid Spin

Electroweb lowers both of your opponent's Pokémon's speed by 1 stage, allowing any slower members of your team to attack before the opponent without any worries. Rapid Spin removes hazards, allowing Quaquaval to use up its sash and not get OHKO'd because of SR or Spikes. V-Switch allows you to pivot while dealing decent damage, which can be boosted with Life Orb if you decide to use it over Boots. I use AP since it gives a 10% for an omni-boost, which can be somewhat useful when the opponent is planning a sweep so you can stop the attempt with boosted defences, attack stats and speed. it also provides extra coverage.

Dragapult @ Life Orb/Choice Specs
Ability: Infiltrator
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Atk
Timid / Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Flamethrower
- Shadow Ball
- U-Turn

U-Turn lets you pivot out of poor matchups. DM you can use as an AoE (or just spam it, which is not advised) Flamethrower is extra coverage and gives a chance to burn. Thunderbolt can also be used but Fire hits more types for Super-Effective and has no immunities. Shadow Ball is your main STAB.

Charizard @ Wise Glasses
Ability: Solar Power
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Def
Timid Nature
- Heat Wave
- Scorching Sands
- Tera Blast
- Ancient Power

Heat Wave hits both opposing Pokémon and SS is coverage. Tera Grass protects 'zard from its weaknesses and Tera Blast gets a boost and type change. Ancient Power kills off other Charizard and may give a boost in all stats.
