Hey guys,
Team building
I've always been fascinated by the kyurem-b, victini core, as i believe that with only two pokemon, they have the right coverage to take out the entire metagame, as they cover each other threats very well
With my core complete, I personally, like seeing balance teams, with spdef and def, to help create a secondary defensive core, with one of my friend's personal favourites, av tyranitar and skarmory
Next, i felt like, as this team is rather slow (kyurem-b is no scarfed as victini is already banded), i needed a revenge killer as well as a consistent keldeo counter, and even better, a set-up sweeper (sort of)
Movesets:
Personally, i do run rather strange sets, so please no hate, and if u do suggest changes to EV's please use calcs to back up her point.
Kyurem-Black @ Expert Belt
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 196 HP / 60 Atk / 252 SpA
Mild Nature
- Ice Beam
- Fusion Bolt
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power [Fire]
First, i will have to explain the EV's. 196 Hp is run, along with a mild nature, to survive a gengar focus blast. I run special kyurem as it has probably one of the best coverages in the game, and as my team does not have wish support, i do not appreciate my kyurem-b wearing down so easily, and with the expert belt, it will dent anyone just as hard to to its superior coverage. I also give it hp-fire to completely annihilate volt-turn teams, as usually in volt turn teams feature scizor - who i have to lose momentum for if i was just running the normal sub-sets. The rest of the moves are pretty self-explanitory, the standard sp attack set
Victini @ Choice Band
Ability: Victory Star
EVs: 252 Atk / 56 Hp / 200 Spe
Adamant Nature
- V-create
- Bolt Strike
- U-turn
- Brick Break/Zen Headbutt
This thing is an absolute monster, being able to demolish everything that kyurem-b cannot kill, including fairies and bulky psychic types. I run choice band to further increase its already high power. The first three moves are self explanitory, but the final move is up for grabs, with zen headbutt being more reliable against zard-x, or brick break to hit heatran. The EV's are used to outrun + speed base 80's, with the rest dumped into attack and hp to further increase its already decent bulk
Tyranitar @ Assault Vest
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 18 HP / 252 Atk / 238 SpD
Brave Nature
- Pursuit
- Ice Beam
- Stone Edge
- Superpower
With the lati twins rising in power, why dont i just kill it with a click of a button. The pursuit trapper is the ultimate special wall, with the EV's and brave nature maximising an attack, and when this thing is wearing an assault vest, its special bulk becomes terryfying. Ice beam is for lando-t on switch, stone edge for stab, and superpower has near infinite uses, as it can take care of such mons including heatran, bisharp and even chansey.
The Ev's are used to unbelievably, live a focus blast from lando-i:
252+ SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Focus Blast vs. 18 HP / 238+ SpD Assault Vest Tyranitar in Sand: 291-343 (84.3 - 99.4%), but with its removal, i guess the EV's can be changed.
Skarmory @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Roost
- Whirlwind
- Defog
With no reliable switch in to fighting types with knock off, this mon provides the perfect utility in my team to tank up all fighting types, as well as annoying setup-sweepers. The moveset is strange, but the idea is; get rid of their rocks, set up mine, and then click whirlwind. Obviously, skarmory is suseptible to taunt, but i run victini- kb for a reason, as they both destroy taunts. Max defense is used to tank up hits. It is also my last resort to something like a +4 zardx if it uses victini as set up bait, as with sturdy, i am able to whirlwind it away
Lopunny @ Lopunnite
Ability: Limber
Happiness: 0
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- Frustration
- High Jump Kick
- Power-Up Punch
This is my set-up sweeper, revenge killer all in one. With its ability to revenge kill as well as pivot with fake out makes this mon quite strong. PuP is used over Ice Punch or any other variant as i do need a win con apart from victini k-b breaking everything, and when this thing gets a few PuP under its belt, and with perfect coverage from two moves, this is definately one scary mon. I also run Adamant as there is nothing really i need to outspeed, as tyranitar is able to take out + 135's such as sceptile or manetric
Slowbro @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 SpD
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Psyshock
- Thunder Wave
- Slack Off
With my team extremely weak to the ever-present keldeo, i needed at least something to switch it into, and this is the perfect idea. 24 Spdef Ev's are used to tank 2 hydropumps after SR, and then i can just t'wave it so it becomes useless, that even my slow kyurem-b can kill. Psyshock is used to beat all cm variants, and scald is just a useful move in general. Slack off further boosts its recovery. Max defense is also used to tank fire types such as infernape and still live hits such as knock off conkeldurr and threaten it back with psyshock
