With the new game out, we have a lot of good pokemon that comes in the pictures. Plus a lot of unreleased pokemon as well. Not to mention thanks to the move tutors, many pokemon have gotten a really good move in their hands. So now i present you, a team that i designed myself. It is still a [WIP] but i pretty much have a really good defensive core coming on.
Amoonguss (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Spore
- Giga Drain
- Clear Smog / Stun Spore
- Hidden Power [Ice]
**Now before you all jump into conclusions, Amoonguss is a pokemon that will stand out in OU. It is a great check to rain teams. And not only that, but it's the best check to Keldeo. It can come in on any Keldeo's attacks, HP Ice wont even 2HKO this shroom. The best way to look at the dilemma is to look at its resistances. It x2 resists water and electric and fighting, while x4 resisting grass. With the plethora of special water attacks and electric attacks in this rain-dominated metagame, it is clear that one should go for a more special defensive spread. Not even a Choice Specs Hydro Pump from Keldeo can bring down this shroom.
With rain and Specs: 252 SpAtk Choice Specs Keldeo Hydro Pump vs 252 HP/252 SpDef Amoonguss (+SpDef) : 41.9% - 49.31%
3 hits to KO (with Leftovers)
Not to mention it checks most Volturn teams with Scizor and Rotom-W..
Slowbro (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Scald
- Psychic
- Flamethrower / Thunderwave
- Slack Off
**When you have Slowbro and Amoonguss, you already have a defensive core right here. Slowbro will take any Fire and Ice type moves thrown at Amoonguss. While Amoonguss checks Electric and Grass moves thrown at Slowbro. As they both force a lot of switch ins, they can para-shuffle pretty good.
Heatran @ Air Balloon
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power Grass
- Stealth Rock
**With Heatran in with Amoonguss and Slowbro, you already have a really awesome Fire/Water/Grass core. Heatran can take any Bug moves and Flying moves that can really dent Amoonguss and Slowbro. Not to mention, Heatran can hit hard as well.
These 3 pokemon are a sticky to this team, i just need three others that can make this team a really good team. Most notably, i only have
D-nite, Starmie, and Scizor as default right now.
I need your help to help build this team!
