This is my first time trying to build a team specifically for climbing the Battle Stadium Singles ladder, and I want to know how I did or what could change to make it better.
Torkoal (M) @ Heat Rock
Ability: Drought
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 244 HP / 36 Def / 220 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
- Flamethrower
- Fissure
Torkoal sets up harsh sunlight and stealth rocks, also has hazard removal as well as fissure for desperate times.
Gouging Fire @ Leftovers
Ability: Protosynthesis
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 76 SpD / 180 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Burning Bulwark
- Heat Crash
- Dragon Tail
- Morning Sun
The star of the show. With harsh sunlight it gets a speed boost, along with dragon tail to force switches and morning sun with leftovers for durability.
Walking Wake @ Haban Berry
Ability: Protosynthesis
Level: 50
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 44 HP / 188 SpA / 12 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hydro Steam
- Draco Meteor
- Sunny Day
- Flamethrower
Works on a sun team. I was thinking that since Torkoal may not be around the whole match, or Gouging Fire may use all the harsh sunlight turns, it'd be nice to have Walking Wake be able to set up his own sunlight.
Flutter Mane @ Booster Energy
Ability: Protosynthesis
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 244 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Moonblast
- Shadow Ball
- Thunder Wave
- Thunderbolt
At this point I felt I had too much of a weakness to dragon types, I also had no way of dealing with Dragonite, or flying types. Thunder Wave just to be ruthlessly annoying
Ogerpon-Wellspring @ Wellspring Mask
Ability: Water Absorb
Level: 50
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 244 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Ivy Cudgel
- Leech Seed
- Spiky Shield
- Knock Off
I felt I was missing a solid water type. I know there is Walking Wake, but it's way worse without sunlight, and I didn't want my focus on the protosynthesis ability to be my downfall. Plus I thought the dragon typing on Walking Wake would be exploited more since dragon types are popular. The Grass/Water typing I am not sure what hits it super effectively.
Kingambit (F) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Defiant
Level: 50
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 224 HP / 252 Atk
Careful Nature
- Guillotine
- Kowtow Cleave
- Metal Burst
- Sucker Punch
Kingambit with Guillotine cleans up everything in sight. Metal Burst helps make
