So after my weeks of posts and research I feel I'm almost ready to do battle.
1.Electivire - @Life Orb
Adamant
Motor Drive
252 Atk/252 Spd/4 Hp
-Cross Chop
-Thunderpunch
-Ice Punch
-Earthquake
Good set. Not much to say, except that you should use Ice punch the first time you switch it in to Togekiss, because he will almost definitely switch to Garchomp.
(Simply on the team to hard counter Togekiss, chosen over Jolteon because Togekiss Def is poor by comparisson. Should OHKO with Thunder Punch)
2.Scizor - @Black Belt
Adamant
Technician
252 Atk/252 Hp/ 4 Speed
-Swords Dance
-Bullet Punch
-Bug Bite
-Roost
Again, you can't go too far wrong with resisting all four moves. However, I would sub in Brick Break for Bug Bite. You will lose a STAB attack and the SE hit on Espeon, but you will be setting up on Espeon and you could do with the coverage.
(Scizor to hard counter the psychic Espeon, since I know all 4 moves for the Espeon and am aware they all do ineffective damage went with the swords dance Scizor setup. Left him with a Black Belt simply because I also have to KO a Weavile on the same team with Bullet Punch and didnt want to take any chances with a life orb)
3.Empoleon - @Razor Claw
Calm
Torrent
252 SpDef/160 Hp/92 SpAtk/ 4 Speed
-Surf
-Grass Knot
-Ice Beam
-Yawn
Good option, but don't use Razor Claw. Go with lefties or something, for such a bulky Pokemon.
(Empoleon to counter a Kingdra with max SpAtk, only other option I saw was Blissey, but looks soft and would take forever with toxic)
4.Swampert - @Focus Sash
Adamant
Torrent
252 Atk/160 Hp/ 92 SpDef/ 4 Speed
-Avalanche
-Waterfall
-Earthquake
-Hammer Arm
Don't use Focus Sash. It will survive one hit from anything, but it would really like lefties as well, being so bulky with no recovery move. The set looks fine, if you want to go all physical. More popular is mixed, but this should do fine.
(Focus Sash Swampert to ensure I get my Earthquake off against Lucario, best option I see. No weakness to his move pool and STAB EQ is beast like)
5.Salamence - @Scarfed
Jolly
Intimidate
252 Atk/ 252 Speed/ 4 Def
-Dragon Claw
-Dragon Dance
-Fly (thouht about Aerial Ace but I like having a flyer on the team)
-Crunch (Over flamethrower cuz with this setup FT suuuucks)
This thing will not counter Garchomp. Not in a million years. If you want a switch-in to Garchomp, use Bronzong or Skarmory, which resist his STAB moves.
(Normally don't ever use dragon type but was kinda forced to since he is running Garchomp. Heard Salamence can survive any attack his chomp would have to offer after Intimidate then OHKO payback with Dragon Claw. Was also told Glaceon was a good hard counter but otherwise sucks for an overall team just in case he decides to switch his team up before we battle)
6. TBD thought about Cresselia or Dusknoir
Don't really like using legendaries, this is where I would like suggestions
Well anything really. Perhaps something like a Dragon Dance Gyarados to get some of your own offense going, as well as As well as adding a few resistances. It is also a good idea not to just Counter-team, because it is slack, but also because he might just change his team. Gyarados would also allow Electivire to start his Motor Drive ability, and attempt a sweep.
This is a friend battle so don't care about tiers and he agreed to not use any legendaries but its okay if I do.
(Thought about a good fire type like Magmortar just in case he decides to switch his team up, but would be pretty useless if he kept it the same since I clearly have a lack of fire support)
Chose this squad specifically to counter
1.Togekiss (Use my Electivire)
2.Espeon (Use my scizor)
2.5 Weavile (Also use my scizor to Bullet Punch it)
3.Kingdra (Empoleon with max SpDef and almost Hp) because he is runnin Ice,Water,Dragon move set
4.Lucario (Swampert to OHKO with Earthquake and no weakness to his move pool)
5.Garchomp (Salamence to OHKO with Dragon Claw +Intimidate)
I made this thread to simply see what some of you might suggest as a good overall fit to this so far 5 pokemon squad.
You see I contemplated Cresselia because it works great against Kingdra and Lucario if it is Crunchless, with moonlight to restore HP and I could Psychic stall Lucario out. But the only two moves I know that he is usin on Lucario is Aura Sphere and Blaze kick. Was originally gonna use my Infernape for Lucario before I learned he could smash him with a potential ground move so went with a safer Swampert choice.
