Hi I dont have much experience with making a team but this is my first team where I was able to win consecutively and climb up 1320(my personal best). The team is very fun to play with but the problem is that when I go against pokemon like Toxapex, Alomomola, or pokemon with Regenerator I always lose whenever its a Stall team or just a pivot. So I am writting this to seek help and How I can make it better. Any advice is helpful. THANKS!
1. Pelipper
Pelipper (F) @ Damp Rock
Ability: Drizzle
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 234 HP / 238 Def / 36 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Weather Ball
- Hurricane
- Roost
- U-turn
Nothing special about Pelliper its just a normal Rain setter
2. Barraskewda
Barraskewda (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Liquidation
- Aqua Jet
- Close Combat
- Psychic Fangs
Barraskewda is my Rain sweeper with its very high attack and speed stat it is able to outspeed most of pokemons and puts in a lot of damage.
3. Ferrothorn
Ferrothorn (F) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 HP / 126 Def / 130 SpD
Careful Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Leech Seed
- Gyro Ball
- Knock Off
- Stealth Rock
I read from multiple place that in a Rain team Ferrothorn is a good choice to put in since its a very good pokemon and with the Rain up fire type moves are weakened allowing it to survive a hit
4.Greninja
Greninja (M) @ Expert Belt / Loaded dice
Ability: Battle Bond
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Dark Pulse
- Water Shuriken
- Ice Beam
- Sludge Wave
Now you might think why is Greninja in a Rain team. Simply just because its my favorite pokemon. When I was first building this team people told me it would be easier to build a team if you choose a pokemon I wanted to use first and start from there and my choice was Greninja. Greninja's role is to pick up kills and get the Battle Bond boost and try to sweep or put in damage much as possible. The reason I use Water Shuriken instead of Hydro pump is that First, it has low accuracy(80%). Second, Water Shuriken is a priority move making it go first and sometimes when Raging bolt comes in I just use Water Shuriken to chip much I can and also Water Shuriken goes first so thunder clap fails.
5. Zapdos
Zapdos @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Static
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 240 HP / 8 Def / 16 SpA / 228 SpD / 16 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Hurricane
- Thunder
- Heat Wave
My Zapdos is different then the most Zapdos. Most Zapdos runs the Defensive build. Which is good but I lack Special Defensive pokemon in this team so I decide to rock with Special Defensive Zapdos which helped me a lot to take hits from Special move using Pokemons. I also have the move Heat wave so I at least a move to take down foe's Ferrothorn
6. Garchmp
Garchomp (M) @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Rough Skin
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Scale Shot
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
My last pokemon is Garchomp. He's here to nullify electric type moves and also when I dont have weather control or Rain is down I use him to sweep the opponent's Pokemons using Swords dance to boost Garchomp's attack and Scale shot to raise is speed.
