Hey, a few days ago I built this really fun team and wanted to see what you guys think, I don't usually build teams so the most advice you guys can give, the better. I'd classify this team as a balance build but i'm not really sure about that.
Also this team has no megas so yeah.
Pokepaste: https://pokepast.es/e40200e6e9f13c94
Let's start with the Grass Duo here, Kart and Bulu
Kartana @ Choice Band
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
Tapu Bulu @ Leftovers
Ability: Grassy Surge
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
Landorus-Therian @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 232 Atk / 68 Def / 208 Spe
Jolly Nature
Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 Spa / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
Toxapex @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
Reuniclus @ Leftover
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 212 Def / 44 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs:0 Atk
Threats:
Offensive Ice types, with Groundium Z Weavile being the absolute threat.
Flying types like Torn and Zapdos are probably my team's biggest weakness they can deal with Kart, Bulu and locked Lando(unless I predict the switch and Stone Edge)
Bulky Grass types, two of my team's main offensive mons are walled by those, with Heatran being my main weapon against them.
Rain Teams can give some trouble because of all the fast mons, which can outspeed nad kill everything
This team's best check to Excadrill is Landorus-T, I think this already says a lot, Kartana might be a good weapon against the Ttar/Hippo+ Excadrill with its main STAB Leaf Blade, and with Grassy Terrain weakening eqs.
Replays:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-944899299 Win with Kartana, neither me nor my oponente played well( besides that switch to Bulu to get the boosted Leaf Blade, that was a pretty cool play), both of us relied on hax to win, also, Reuniclus, the beast didn't even come out in this game, but a win is a win. Also that Salazzle set wasn't humble at all.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-944903872 Win with Kartana bc of a misplay, dude exploded his lando in the last turn instead of equaking my Kart. Also Lando did some work in this game, if it wasn't for it Kart wouldn't be able to late game clean that guy's team.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-944910829 Humiliating loss to a whack rain team, the result of this battle was set in like, turn 15, I made a lot of nasty plays like switching lando into the Nidoking, and my Heatran hit 1 magma storms out of 4, so 25% accuracy, only played till the end to show the full replay to you.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-944918972 Win with Reuniclus, the GOAT, my oponente had a pretty bad rain team, but it was still a clutch match, idk if killing my heatran in the start of it was the best play, but killing pelliper that soon is really bad for a rain strat.
This team revolves around Grassy Terrain, which allows Kartana and Heatran to really shine. Z-Heatran, Scarfed Landorus-T and Banded Kart are the main offensive mons, with Bulu (which provides the Grassy Terrain) and Pex being defensively geared, Reuniclus works as a defensive mon but can also be a reliable win condition with its 2 setup moves in Acid Armor and Calm Mind+its strong STAB. Ice types can give it trouble, and the team is also pretty slow, making it weak to fast teams like Rain Teams, Sand Teams HO and Sticky Webs.
