I know I have an old thread, but I did lose that game. Now I decided to try something new. Would this be on the right track?
Charizard-Mega-Y @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Drought
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Overheat
- Solar Beam
- Focus Blast
- Protect
Thinking about the Mega I wanted to build my team around, Charizard Y came to mind instantly. Ever since Red/Blue I loved Charizard. Charmander was always my starter pokemon. I also like the idea of Drought. For the set, I went back and forth between heat wave and Overheat. I ultimately decided on overheat because it appears to be a less popular choice, and I hope I can surprise people. I chose protect to help set up Venusaur.
Dragonite @ Choice Band
Ability: Multiscale
Level: 50
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Outrage
- Extreme Speed
- Earthquake
- Thunderbolt
Personally, I don't like Outrage (3 times and it's confused) but I am not sure what to change that too. I am thinking perhaps a boosting move?
Dragonite can help with Charizard's weakness to water pokemon and he can also help cover Venusaur's weakness to flying, fire and rock types with earthquake and thunderbolt.
Excadrill @ Leftovers
Ability: Mold Breaker
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 248 Atk / 8 SpA
Lonely Nature
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Rock Slide
Excadrill helps cover fairy types with Iron Head, flying types with Rock Slide and HP Ice and can cover rock/fire types with earthquake.
Actually, thinking about this, Excadrill would be a perfect counter Pokemon on a Venusaur team. Maybe I can switch out Gengar for Venasuar?
Venusaur @ Focus Sash
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Sludge Bomb
- Protect
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Venusaur is the perfect partner for Charizard Y with Drought. Venusaur gets a speed boost with drought, allowing it to outsped non boosted Pokemon. With HP Ice, it can, in theory, check flying pokemon. Sleep powder can help control the field, in theory.
Snorlax @ Assault Vest
Ability: Thick Fat
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Return
- Double-Edge
- Earthquake
- Crunch
I need a bulky attacker and Snorlax is the Pokemon for it.
Talonflame @ Lifeorb
Ability: Gale Wings
Level: 50
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- U-turn
- Steel Wing
I am thinking about removing Steel Wing for Tailwind or Quickguard.
Talonflame would be my fast sweeper. I may need to change up his moveset though.
I am a beginner so I am losing alot with this build. This could be because the team is unbalanced, or it could be because I am inexperienced. Any thoughts?
