Okay, a 1v1 team is basically a 1 on 1 battle, each player has 1 Pokemon.
I have 3 Pokemon who I normally rotate in and out, so just remember the style of battling that's being used.
Froslass (F) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Cursed Body
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Hex
- Ice Beam
- Destiny Bond
My favorite most used 1v1 rotation. Firstly, Froslass walls out Porygon-Z, who is a very popular 1v1 Pokemon because of its Hyper Beam. It's also immune to Quick Attack, Extreme Speed, Vacuum Wave, and Mach Punch. Thunder Wave will paralyze anything that's not a Ground type (Ice Beam takes ground types :>), and then Hex gets boosted power, or Ice Beam chimes in for a hit. Destiny Bond can end things in a draw (Always fun fun).
Rhyperior (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Solid Rock
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Rock Wrecker
- Outrage
- Megahorn
- Earthquake
I used the type coverage calculator, and saw that Rock + Dragon + Bug + Ground gets 222 Normal Effectiveness and 441 Super Effectiveness. 0 and 0 For Not Very and None.
140 base Attack stat, maxed with Nature and EVs, with a Choice Band!
Rock Wrecker is pretty much a guaranteed OHKO against just about anything that it hits neutrally. Outrage is for those pesky Dragons (Oh look at me! I have a Garchomp!), Megahorn offers high powered coverage, and Earthquake is for STAB and coverage. This guy is my brute force "I hit you, you die" Competitor.
Charizard (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Fire Blast
- Air Slash
- Dragon Pulse
- Hidden Power [Electric]
Fire Blast is a very strong STAB move, Air Slash is STAB and Dragon Pulse also covers those pesky Dragons. HP Electric (I tested in the Coverage Calculator) gives the best super effective coverage with my other moves being considered. My fast Choice Scarf killer, not hindered by Stealth Rock.
Well, these guys are my team that I switch in and out for 1v1 battles. When giving suggestions please keep in mind, this is for 1v1. So I don't wanna hear "Don't use Charizard, Stealth Rocks hurt him too bad!!".
