Here are some of the most Important steps to making a good team:
- youre lead is the most important part of you battle as it sets up for the rest of your team. ur lead should either be fast and powerful or bulky.
Good weather leads:
Sand Storm:
Hippowdown
Tryantar
Bronzong
Raindance:
Bronzong
Milotic
Hail:
Abomansnow
Sunny Day:
Vileploom
Brongong
Charziard
Any:
Bronzong
Smergle
All these Pokemon Come out and thier main objective is to sweep the opposing team. for example puposes ill use my Sandstorm team to show you the basic way to make a good weather team.
For my sandstorm team i lead off with a Bulky Hippowdon
Hippowdon- Docile/ sand stream
252 hp
125 Def
125 S.def
8 Spd
so movsets
Hippowdon( leftovers)
Stealth Rock
Protect
Yawn
Roar
Ok i know this movset spels CHEEP! but it is a good way to bring massive damage to your foes. so if this cheap movset dosnt work for u then change it up. but i highly suggest Stealth Rock. The leftovers is always a good option.
Next is to make somthing that can scout moves for you without getting hurt. for this i chose
Flygon!
Flygon- Hasty/leviate
252 Spd
252 Atk
6 Hp
So Flygon.. here may be a WTF moment well...
Flygon( Choice Scarf)
- U-turn
- Stone Edge
- Fire Punch
- Protect/ Filler
So for Flygon i change his last move a lot because all i really need is U-turn. Flygon outspeeds almost everything with the scarf and so it allows easy sweeping. BUT predection is almost nessary here because showing off yout U-turner is a MUST. when they expect it, you use somthing else to surpise them. But now u need somthing that can survie 1 hit no matter what so.
i chose Meatgross!
Metagross- Clear Body/ Hasty
252 Hp
200 Def
58 Spd
So yep gross can take hits.
For Grosses Movset
Meatgross( Leftovers)
-Explosion
- Toxic
- Rock Polish
- Bullet Punch
Now Metagross has Toxic wich can rip apart ur oppent. and rock polish allows it to outsped for the explosion. and for anything with low hp a nice Bullet Punch will work fine. it is a good way to get rid of a foes annoynce.
Now i need a good poke who would be able to have thier own uniqness to the team. i had only one poke who would be different from the rest( prbly common on SS teams thought)
Cacturne( sand Veil/ admant)
252 Atk
252 Spd
6 hp
so sand viel alredy makes peole nervous when they see cacturne. harder to hit and you know its gonna be a sweeper so that makes it really annoying. well lets move onto movsets.
Caturne( life orb)
- Swords Dance
- Neddle Arm
- Drain punch
- Pay back
Cacturnes are slow so payback is very useful. the Sords dance makes him more deadly. and drain punch is there to restore damage dne by life orb.
ok so know i found a problem.
ALL my poke were physical so i knew i needed a good Special Sweeper. it took my a lot of debating but in the end i decied on Claydol!
Claydol Modest/ levitate
252 Spatk
252 Spd
6 hp
well so like usal leviate means that my team laughds at e-quake and fighting moves again are runied by claydol.
Claydol( choice Specs)
Earth Power
Shadow Ball
Ancient Power
Ice Beam
so claydol is a perfect specail sweeper taking out whats left of weaknnes with this team. Ice beam is perfect aginst most special sweepers and Ancient power is useful for it can mak him unstopable if used right and you get a little bit of luck.
So now i need somthing that could come out for OMEGA pain and im like somthing expected and terrible. i instantyl decied on
Scizor
ha ha i know look at how predicatble this is gonna be.
Scizor admant/ techinacian
252 Atk
252 Spd
6 Hp
Wow any surpises yet i hope not
Movsets might be diffrent
Sizor( chice Band)
- Bullet Punch :-)
- Night Slash
- Metal Claw
- U-turn
OMG Bullet Punch. well it is the best pokemon on this team usally taking out 2-3 pokes on a good match. U-turn is good for pulling out if i dont feel good about it. Night Slash is great for Grosses, Jirchis, and Zongs. and Metal claw is there for no pertcialr reason
So as you can see my team all uses the sandstrom to its advantge. no of them are hurt by it so they can wipe out anything. i win a good 80% of the time with this team. the only problems ive seen is baton pass teams.any ideas to how i can make this team stronger. and did this help you make your own weather team! If any of you need further help dont be afrid to ask me.
