So I found an interest in the Battle Tree, and I decided to make a competitive team for singles. I haven't tried anything remotely competitive yet, so my team probably sucks. I'm looking for any recommendations and tips.
Garchomp @ Garchompite/Leftovers
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Attack/252 Speed/ 4 Special Defense
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Dragon Rush
- Rock Slide
- Crunch
I don't know whether to Mega Evolve my Garchomp or Metagross. If one of them Mega Evolves, I'll probably give the other listed item to them. Crunch is there to cover the annoyingly large amount of Psychic and Ghost types
Metagross @ Metagrossite/ Weakness Policy
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Attack/252 HP/4 Special Defense
Careful Nature
- Zen Headbutt
- Meteor Mash
- Sludge Bomb
- Hammer Arm
I think I'll probably Mega Evolve my Metagross. But I've also seen people giving Metagrosses Weakness Policy, so idk. Metagross is pretty bulky, so I'm not too concerned about Hammer Arm lowering speed.
Togekiss @Scope Lens
Ability: Super Luck
EVs: 252 Speed/ 252 HP/ 4 Special Attack
Timid Nature
- Moonblast
- Air Slash
- Magical Leaf
- Roost
I wanted Togekiss to be a wall of sorts, so I replaced Flamethrower with Roost. I also think Super Luck would benefit me more than Serene Grace. Especially aided by the Scope Lens.
I did my calculations, and according to the type coverage checker, only 14 Pokémon took normal damage from my attacks, and 3 were legendaries/mythicals, 1 was a pre-evolution, one was a Mega, another was an Ultra Beast, and the last came from Galar. So I was left with Forretress, Scizor, Skarmory, Gliscor, Escavalier, Durant and Trash Cloak Wormadam.
...All relatively bulky Pokemon. Oh well.
