I could use some advice on adjusting my team. I planned on using a team of mostly Gen IV favorites, half Trick Room and half offense. But I think I might not have great synergy, so would love some help:
Infernape (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 36 Atk / 220 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Overheat
- Close Combat
- Taunt
- Protect
Standard Scout, Lead, Wallbreaker and Anti-Setup. One of my Gen IV favs. The moveset should be pretty obvious for the format.
Esdeath (Weavile) (F) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- Knock Off
- Protect
- Ice Punch
I used to hate Weavile, but now I love it. Co-lead, helps her partner Infernape stop setups and can revenge kill with Sash and support the team with stab Knock Off.
Rotom-Wash @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 100 Def / 116 SpA / 40 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Hydro Pump
- Thunder Wave
- Protect
Rotom-W is here to be an anti-rain team threat since I see them around very frequently in this meta. Pairs well with Rhyperior as it will not be affected by Earthquake. Not sure if I should keep Thunder Wave since my team is half TR but being able to slow Pokemon faster than mine before TR is up is nice to have.
Rhyperior (M) @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Solid Rock
EVs: 164 HP / 180 Atk / 28 Def / 132 SpD
Brave Nature
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Protect
Another Gen IV fav and my WinCon. Aim is to get it with TR up, get Weakness Policy activated and spam STAB attacks until nothing is left standing. Third move is a toss-up; I'm considering replacing it with Megahorn because Cresselia is around and it can also really dent Ludicolo.
Porygon2 @ Eviolite
Ability: Download
EVs: 252 HP / 160 Def / 20 SpA / 76 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Trick Room
- Recover
- Ice Beam
- Foul Play
My Trick Roomer. I like its bulk under Eviolite but once TR is up, it's pretty poor offensively. Being another Fighting weakness isn't really appealing either but I really love having reliable Recovery. Could use some advice with this for sure.
Abomasnow (M) @ Icy Rock
Ability: Snow Warning
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpA
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Blizzard
- Giga Drain
- Ice Shard
- Protect
WinCon #2. Blizzard while under Hail and TR will ensure Winter Is Coming and last forever. Giga Drain for longevity and to out a wreck on Gastrodon and Swampert. Ice Shard for STAB priority and Protect for helping it live longer.
Thanks!
