IMPORTANT: The team is for a tournament where LEGENDARY POKEMON ARE FORBIDDEN. So no Heatran, no Cresselia, no Suicune, no Azelf, no Zapdos, etc.
Hippowdon (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP/24 Atk/192 Def/40 SDef
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang
- Slack Off
- Stealth Rock
The starter. It sets the sandstorm and the stealth rock. Ice Fang for Dragons.
Skarmory (M) @ Shed Shell
Ability: Keen Eye
EVs: 252 HP/16 Atk/200 Def/40 SDef
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Spikes
- Roost
- Whirlwind
- Brave Bird
My standar defensive spiker and pseudo-hazer bird.
Garchomp (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 Atk/224 Spd/32 SDef
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Crunch
- Fire Blast
Awesome revenge killer that destroys when my sand and spikes weakened my opponent´s team.
Tentacruel (M) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 252 HP/84 SAtk/172 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Toxic Spikes
- Surf
- Hidden Power Electric
- Rapid Spin
I chose Knock Off instead Rapid Spin since I checked that Tentacruel usually don´t have the time to spin. I doubt about my EV distribution. With that, Tentacruel has 364 ps, 166 Def, 217 Sp.Atk, and 350 Sp.Def. Is a cool special wall which protects me from Infernape and it´s main proporsal is Toxic Spike too but I´m thinking in maybe changing it for Starmie. Hidden Power Electric screws Gyarados.
Cradily (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Suction Cups
EVs: 252 HP/164 Def/92 SDef
Sassy nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Grass Knot
- Recover
- Stone Edge
- Stockpile
This thing loves to stall special attacks in the Sandstorm. I don´t know if the moveset is ok (is my first time I use Cradily, so I don´t know what is better in its case: Grass Knot or Energy Ball, and Stone Edge or Rock Sldie. And since I have Toxic having Tentacruel Toxic Spikes...). It helps me against Swampert too. But I don´t know if use this or Blissey with Fire Blast/Seismic Toss/Protect/Wish (since its Wish can help to mantain Garchomp and Tentacruel alive).
Spiritomb (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/100 Def/156 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Shadow Ball
Status absorber, anti-Rapid spinner and with a cool ghost + fighting combination. Thinking in maybe changing this for another more offensive thing, depending if I do changes if my team or not.
