Hi guys,
I am here today to present to you my first competitive Team ever!
I've always had the desire to create something of my own since I started playing on Showdown (even if it is not a long time) and just yesterday I received an input: "To play something different, why not build something around regular Gyarados?".
I immediately liked how it sounded in my head...
So here I am in this, shy, RMT!
Ah...I state immediately that you must excuse me for some possible grammatical errors. English is not my native language.
Nessie (Gyarados) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 68 HP / 192 Atk / 248 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Bounce
- Waterfall
- Substitute
The Pokémon from which everything is born. If he is left behind the Sub, cause I've seen be underestimated by many, it is able to give a hard time to a good chunk of the OU and not being the Mega of the Team it means that its weaknesses (only 2) are easily covered.
Sceptiroth (Sceptile) (M) @ Sceptilite
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Dragon Pulse
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Fire]
Our Mega. I have rarely found it in ladder (in this period at least), but I think it is one of the best companions for Gyarados. They can easily cover each other not only as it regards the weaknesses but also for the type of defense that they will hit (if I can say so).
Hephaestus (Heatran) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Lava Plume
- Toxic
- Taunt
- Stealth Rock
At this point I felt the need of two things: a weapon to better fight very defensive Grass Types and someone who could set the rocks. Who better than Heatran? It give me also access to Burn (30% on Lava Plume it is not bad at all) and Toxic and it allows me to control the boring Stall Teams.
Lapis (Latios) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Recover
- Defog
Which is a Pokémon that is comfortable throughout and offers excellent coverage? It also bothers all those who seek to eliminate Heatran but which are not easily stopped by Gyarados and Sceptile since it is not their job. Overall I think it is an essential member for most teams.
LittlePwny (Keldeo) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Justified
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 Def
- Scald
- Secret Sword
- Hydro Pump
- Hidden Power [Ice]I thought about what Latios suffered particularly and I thought Keldeo could be the perfect companion. Also I needed a Scarfer. and it gives me a way to deal effectively with Pokémons like Lando-T, Tyranitar and Garghomp.
Enten (Landorus-Therian) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 248 HP / 232 Def / 28 SpD
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Stone Edge
After a quick glance, I realized that the Team was still a bit weak to Electric Mons and Ground Types. So who is better than Lando to complete it? But having already SR on Heatran I thought about putting Knock Off on him just to have some more utility and a physical defense of this caliber is always handy.
Well guys, this is the Team. Probably I would not have known how to best describe it given my limited experience, but overall I find it quite balanced.
Surely it will need some small changes...or drastic changes! But to be the first test I am very satisfied.
In any case I thank in advance those who will want to leave a comment and I hope to learn something more thanks to you.
