Right! I'm new to this game and I need help in choosing the right team.
Muk-Alola @ Aguav Berry
Ability: Poison Touch
EVs: 76 HP / 164 Atk / 96 Def / 76 SpD / 96 Spe
- Giga Drain
- Knock Off
- Poison Jab
- Fire Punch
I added Muk because I can now use Grass,poison and dark in one go. I'm pretty unsure about fire punch. Because I seldom use it during the battle. Also I'm confused whether to use Dark pulse or Knock off.
Q: What move should I use instead of fire Punch ? Shall I replace the Aguav berry with balloon?
Celesteela @ Aguav Berry
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 96 HP / 124 Atk / 72 Def / 88 SpA / 84 SpD / 44 Spe
- Earthquake
- Heavy Slam
- Acrobatics
- Leech Seed
I often use Celesteela's Leech seed. Against enemies. It's pretty useful. Also as it is a flying type it's useful against scizor and other bug pokémons.
Q: Should I use steel plate instead of Aguav berry? Should I increase Atk and decrease Spa?
Zapdos @ Aguav Berry
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 80 HP / 84 Atk / 92 Def / 76 SpA / 88 SpD / 88 Spe
- Thunderbolt
- Drill Peck
- Roost
- Facade
This is the most vulnerable member of my team and I'm starting to think whether I should replace another electric pokémon like Rotom. But I see that roost isn't legal for Celesteela (why?). So I'm keeping it for a while to test how good roost works
Q: Is facade really useful? If not, what should I use?
Swampert @ Swampertite
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 52 HP / 76 Atk / 100 Def / 172 SpA / 96 SpD / 12 Spe
- Ice Ball
- Waterfall
- Earth Power
- Earthquake
I feel that having both earthquake and earthpower together is useless and I need clarity on that matter. Also is ice ball feasible? I know it's powerful. But it locks me with no choice
Q:Can I dump either of earthquake/earthpower and use something else?
Pangoro @ Assault Vest
Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 84 HP / 152 Atk / 116 Def / 96 SpD / 60 Spe
- Knock Off
- Dragon Claw
- Drain Punch
- Body Slam
I'm actually satisfied with having Pangoro a lot. I use it to chuck annoying Blisseys.
I specifically made the spa 0 so that I could make most of the contact move. Though I wonder if I could replace Body Slam with some other move. Which one would you suggest?
Garchomp @ Aguav Berry
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 92 HP / 116 Atk / 84 Def / 108 SpA / 36 SpD / 72 Spe
- Dragon Claw
- Poison Jab
- Fire Fang
- Swords Dance
There's nothing like having a dragon claw!
Q:Maybe as I can Evolve Swampert, Should I switch to Draco plate?
I realised from my previous battles that Garchomp is one of the most powerful pokemon. But I need to optimise it (Increase spa to counter ice beam maybe? )
Expecting Ratings.
Thank you
