So I made a new VGC team just a while ago and tried it out on Battle spot which this team has 27 wins 27 Losses so I am wondering what you guys think of my team. I do not know how to do damage Calcs so I apologize for that
Amoongus
252 HP 128 Def 128 Sp.Def
Relaxed nature
Regenerator
Black Sludge
Moves:
Rage powder
Spore
Protect
Giga drain
The reason I put him on the team is to help my Mega Kangaskahn set up. If I predict a will-o-wisp or a thunder wave to try to shut Kangaskahn down then I can redirect it to Amoongus which won't be affecting him too much. Since Concerlder are somewhat common in VGC, I can redirect attacks ment for Kang and have a not verry offective hit on Amoongus instead. Amoongus can put pokemon to sleep which is an added bonus. If I get taunted I can still gain health back while dealing damage with Giga drain. And protect is for scouting
As for the EV spread, I wanted Amoongus to survive as long as possable. I Maxed the IV and split the EV for Def/Sp def so I can absorb hits and still live
Kangaskahn (mega)
252 HP 252 Attack
Jolly nature
Scrappy-Parental Bond
Kangasknite
Moves:
Fake out
Power up punch
Double edge
Sucker Punch
A great opener, I can lead with a fake out while Amoongus spores the other, the next turn power up punch while Amoongus Rage powders, then I can use Sucker Punch on who ever tries to Attack. Power up punch is also useful for pokemon with intimidate ((which is highly common in VGC)) because it cancells out the intimidate and since it hits twice you get +1.
As for the EV spread I Maxed Attack for trying to blow up everything in my way and maxed HP so I can live with just enough to do some damage to the opponents team. The reason for the nature is so I can break Speed ties with Opposing Mega Kangs ((hopefully))
Sylveon
252 Sp. Attack 70 Hp 184Def ((if I did my math right))
Quiet nature
Pixilate
Choice specs
Moves:
Hyper voice
Shodow ball
Hidden power ((Ground))
Psyshock
So on paper My team so far is Intimadate bait. So I put Sylveon because high Sp. Attack. Not a lot can resist Pixilate Hyper voice with a Specs boost. How ever thoughs that do are a Pain. If all they have left were Steel and poison type, than hidden power ground will just blow them up. If I see a sp wall I can use psyshock because it Attacks them with physical damage instead of special damage even though it's physical... Which makes complete sense kappa
As for the EV Spreed its kinda like Amoongus mixed with kangaskhan with Sp Attack instead of physical. I want to keep Sylveon alive as long as possable while being able to hit hard.the reason I put so much in Def and not sp def is because Sylveon has a naturally high Sp Def.
Dragonite
252 Speed 252 Att.
Adament nature
Multiscale
Weekness Policy
Moves:
Sky drop
Dragon dance
Outrage
Fire punch
Probably my favorite pokemon in my team, reason being is because of sky drop. I can take a threatining pokemon from my opponents team refuse him to attack for that turn ((or the next turn depending on how fast he is)) then do decent damage the following turn. This also helps to get pokemon like Kangaskahn to set up if needed. Dragon Dance to rais speed and to cancel out Intimadate and weekness policy because Dragonite has some pretty comon weeknesses so if I can survive a super effective Attack I can get +2 Att +2 Sp att.
For the EV I put Max Speed to out speed as many things as possable, and Max Attack to hit hard before they can hit me
Arcanine
252 Attack 252 speed
Adament Nature
Intimidate
Life Orb
Moves:
Flare blitz
Extreme speed
Close Combat
Wild charge
So With my team I noticed a common Ice weekness, I saw my Arcanine in my PC and thought he doesn't really geat to battle and he is a great Attacker. Also has Intimadate to kinda help "check "a Physical Ice pokemon that they have. If a opposing pokemon was low on health extream speed will help take care of it. Other then that it's basically your Average Arcanine. Wild charge to deal with water. Close combat for coverage. And Flare Blitz for Stab.
EV are much like Dragonite. Want to out speed slower pokemon and Max Att to blow everything up...nothing too fancy
Serperior
252 Sp Att 252 Speed
Timid Nature
Contrary
Focus sash
Moves:
Leaf storm
Dragon pulse
Giga drain
Hidden power ((rock))
This is just kind of a little gimmick I don't really use it that much but when I do it's effective. Basically your common Serperior set, leaf storm to raise sp Att dragon pulse for coverage Giga Drain a For Sustain and Hidden power rock for coverage... Like I said this is just a gimmick I use when I don't know what else to bring.
So like I said this is just a comman set, out speed 252 and 252 Sp Attack to kill everyone
So tell me what you think of my team I am open to criticism.
