Hi All! I a bit of a newer player when it comes to VGC so I've been experimenting with teambuilding and would love to hear feedback on this team I created around Reshiram. I am aware EV spreads are very specific and are slightly increased to either kill certain mons or either live a certain amount of attacks, but I do not necessarily know what my EV spreads are for, so If any of you VGC veterans out there could help me out with that, Id be so grateful. Any other feedback for changing the team if very much appreciated.
Reshiram @ Assault Vest
Ability: Turboblaze
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 12 Def / 156 SpA / 60 SpD / 28 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shadow Ball
- Earth Power
- Draco Meteor
- Blue Flare
Reshiram's Role in this team to be a Bulky Special Attacker. I want him to be able to take hits and dish out good damage. Tera Fairy is mostly for other dragon threats such as Miraidon.
Zacian-Crowned @ Rusted Sword
Ability: Intrepid Sword
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 108 HP / 116 Atk / 20 Def / 12 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Behemoth Blade
- Play Rough
- Tera Blast
- Protect
My Zacian Crowned is here with a similar role to Reshiram, being on the physical side, also while retaining some bulk to not be OHKO'd by everything. I used tera ground as I found some great success with it in a rental team I used a while ago.
Tornadus @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Prankster
Level: 50
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 212 HP / 188 Def / 4 SpA / 12 SpD / 92 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Bleakwind Storm
- Sunny Day
- Tailwind
- Protect
Very typical Tornadus set here, being mostly tailwind support and also sunny day to help Reshiram or stop kyogre water spout spamming. Covert cloak to be immune to fake out, and dark for immunity to prankster.
Raging Bolt @ Magnet
Ability: Protosynthesis
Level: 50
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 188 HP / 76 Def / 180 SpA / 4 SpD / 60 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 20 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Thunderbolt
- Thunderclap
- Protect
Haven't used Raging bolt ever really, but I'm excited to finally try him out. Similar role to reshiram, having massive bulk. Wanted to run reshiram with AV so I decided to run him with the magnet for extra damage output on thunderclap. Tera electric to remove dragon and fairy weakness and max damage with electric moves.
Rillaboom @ Miracle Seed
Ability: Grassy Surge
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 244 HP / 36 Atk / 4 Def / 220 SpD / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Grassy Glide
- Wood Hammer
- Fake Out
- High Horsepower
Rillaboom here for fake out support and being another bulky hard hitter. Added high horsepower for fire types. Really standard set.
Landorus @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 116 SpA / 132 SpD / 4 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sandsear Storm
- Sludge Bomb
- Focus Blast
- Protect
I was kinda iffy about adding Lando to the team, but I really like having the electric immunity. Having poison for certain grass types and focus blast for ice types. Tera poison for more damage and weakness removal.
I would really like to make this team something viable, as I have seen reshiram sets in competitive play. I know it may not be a Worlds viable mon, but Reshi is my favorite legendary as I grew up with gen 5 and I would love to give Reshi the love it deserves! But please! Share your suggestions, fire away.
