Swampert @ Swampertite
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Stealth Rock
Swampert is my lead due to setting stealth rock, and these moves usually have good coverage, and it pairs well with Crobat as I've found.
Crobat @ Black Sludge
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- Cross Poison
- U-turn
- Defog
Crobat is my physical pivot who also runs defog. I've run Roost before but found Defog to be more useful - let me know your thoughts.
Lucario @ Lum Berry
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Cross Chop
- Extreme Speed
- Iron Tail
- Bulk Up
Lucario is my physical attacker with priority.
Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 4 SpA / 116 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Magma Storm
- Earth Power
- Taunt
- Toxic
Specially defensive set chosen mostly for the fire coverage and bulk. I can't tell if adding a steel move would be helpful, or if I can use Lucario for this.
Ampharos-Mega @ Ampharosite
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 SpA
- Volt Switch
- Dragon Pulse
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Power Gem
My special pivot. I know the moveset is unconventional, but it has coverage missing in my other Pokemon. I used to have Hydreigon in this slot, but it proved to be too many Fighting weaknesses for my team....open to suggestions with this one!
Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Moonblast
- Soft-Boiled
- Knock Off
- Encore
Another bulky Pokemon I chose mostly for the coverage. I've had success so far on the defensive side, but if my other Pokemon get KOed and just Clefable is left, then I'm usually trapped. Open to suggestions here too.
Overall strengths I've noticed so far: Having a broad enough variety of moves to be able to switch in strategically and OHKO / 2HKO opponents. Not getting walled (most of the time).
Issues I've had so far: Sticky Web users, lack of healing / passive damage options, lots of my coverage moves relying on certain Pokemon and being out of luck when they get KOed.
My preferences: I like using less common pokemon especially in the UU tier, and using balanced / offensive leaning teams. I'm open to suggestions, but I'd love to preserve Swampert and Crobat especially! (Without changing the entire thing to a rain team, preferably).
Thanks for your feedback! I am super new to competitive pokemon so I appreciate y'all bearing w me as I figure things out.
