I'm going to take part on a local tournament in a couple of weeks. I've been planning teams for it but I would like some assistance.
The rules for the competition are:
Format is double battle 4v4
No legendaries or UBs
Banned things: Gengarite, Salamencite, Kangaskhanite, Moody, Evasion moves, 1 Hit-KO moves
Currently I have two-ish teams planned:
Team 1:
Mimikyu @ Ghostium Z
Ability: Disguise
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Att/ 4 Spe
Nature: Jolly
- Destiny Bond
- Trick Room
- Shadow Claw
- Play Rough
The EV spead may be a bit weird and may need changing. I based it on the Mimikyu that I have in my box from the previous competition. The main job of this Mimikyu is to get the Trick Room up for Snorlax and also put some pressure on fighting types. It can also give Snorlax a better chance to use Recycle with Z- Destiny Bond. Shadow Claw and Play Rough are there for coverage in case Snorlax gets taken out before it can really get anything done.
Snorlax @ Iapapa Berry
Ability: Gluttony
EVs: HP 68 /Att 196 / Def 244
Nature: Brave
- Return
- High Horsepower
- Belly Drum
- Recycle
This is the main sweeper of the team. I'm still pondering on putting Facade over Return for STAB since it gets stronger with status conditions. High Horsepower is there for the Rock and Steel types. Snorlax is there to get the Belly Drum up and sweep. The recycle is there to give it some sustainability.
Oranguru @ Mental Herb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 HP / 140 Def / 20 SpA / 96 SpD
Nature: Sassy
- Instruct
- Trick Room
- Psychic
- Protect
When Mimikyu goes down Oranguru comes next to Snorlax and helps him sweep with Instruct. I'm thinking or replacing the Trick Room for either Light Screen or Reflect to help Snorlax sustain itself.
Whimsicott @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Nature: Timid
- Beat Up
- Tail Wind
- Taunt
- Moon Blast
This is part of a second core. If There comes pokemon that the Mimikyu - Snorlax combo cant get rolling with, I backed it up with Whimsicott - Arcanine combo. Whimsicotts job is to give Arcanine the Justified boost and work as a Tailwind support. Moon Blast is there to help Arcanine deal with things like Garchomp. I could replace Taunt with Memento and that way give Milotic an easier way to switch in.
Arcanine @ Aguav Berry
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Att / 4 Def/ 252 Spe
Nature: Jolly
- Flare Blitz
- Close Combat
- Extreme Speed
- Protect
This is a set I took from @0kamii but instead of using Weavile, I used Whimsicott because it has a lower base attack.
Milotic @ Leftovers
Ability: Competitive
EVs: 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 SpD
Nature: Bold
- Mirror Coat
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Recover
Milotic is there to help Arcanine with ground and dragon types. Mirror Coat may not be that useful in Doubles format so I might replace that with something else. Scald is a good STAB move and Ice Beam is there for coverage.
Team 2:
Eevee @ Eeveum Z
Ability: Adaptibility
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Nature: Jolly
- Last Resort
- Baton Pass
- Helping Hand
- Protect
There to get the Z-move off and Baton Pass out to Gardevoir.
Gardevoir @ Gardevoirite
Ability: Trace -> Pixilate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Nature: Timid
- Hyper Voice
- Stored Power
- Shadow Ball
- Moon Blast
The main sweeper after getting the boosts from Eevee.
Aegislash @ Leftovers
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spa / 4 Spd
Nature: Quiet
- Flash Cannon
- Shadow Ball
- Wide Guard
- King Shield
There to give Eevee support and the opportunity to get the Z-move off.
Pachirisu @ Iapapa Berry
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 156 Def / 100 Spd
Nature: Impish
- Nuzzle
- Follow Me
- Hyper Fang
- Protect
A supporter for Eevee if it is more expected that the opponent will use more single target moves.
Milotic @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Competitive
EVs: 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 SpD
Nature: Bold
- Mirror Coat
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Recover
I wasn't sure what to put here and Milotic has saved my *** in many occasions.
Arcanine @ Aguav Berry
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Att / 4 Def/ 252 Spe
Nature: Jolly
- Flare Blitz
- Close Combat
- Extreme Speed
- Protect
Arcanine is here for the same reason as Milotic.
I know my thought process isn't complete but that's why I'm here asking for advice.
