Banned deucer.
Introduction:
This was a team inspired by the Pokemon manga, I LOVED Green’s ditto, thus inspiring me to create a team with it! Although it was done hurriedly, I have spent time attempting to improve it, alone. Ditto is great for stopping almost any Pokemon, especially Kartana and Magearna when they get going. Sableye is scout, with protect and recover it helps with switch-ins and does well with Bisharp. Breloom, well that was a brain-dead decision, although it gives a way around spore, and has speed control with Mach Punch. Chansey is here for stealth rocks and heal bell, while being a good counter to Tapu Lele. Tornadus… it’s a defogger, Fightinium Z also allows for a guaranteed Tyranitar KO!
The Team:
Ditto @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Imposter
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
- Transform
The core of this team (Sort of). It provides incredible coverage, PP Stall, and an effective way past set-up. It makes sacrifice more worthwhile, and doesn’t exactly have a counter or weakness. Incredible speed control, the worst it can do is speed tie! The EV’s are designed to outspeed most opponents, while keeping a natural bulk. Although far from perfect, nothing else works, and I love it the way it is! It performs incredibly well when it comes to removing important Pokemon on the opponents team, thus allowing for Bisharp, Chansey and Breloom to be more effective.
Sableye @ Sablenite
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpD / 252 Def
Careful Nature
- Knock Off
- Will-O-Wisp
- Recover
- Protect
The perfect teammate for Ditto, being great at scouting, and removing the opponents “scarf”. It helps Bisharp too! Although quite bulky, Bisharp can’t survive more than two earthquakes, and Sableye helps keep it at one. It’s a defensive tank for Chansey, and a good sacrifice at times, checking Kartana, Landorus etc. I’m a bit worried about the EV’s, however, they seem to be effective and quite hard to change for the better! I love this Pokemon, but, no matter how effective, it could always be better.
Breloom @ Focus Sash
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Bullet Seed
- Rock Tomb
- Mach Punch
- Spore
Haven’t exactly put much thought into this one! I needed speed control, and spore isn’t bad either, sash helps achieve spore, and take out Tornadus with Rock Tomb. Quite often it’s assumed it has Poison Heal, this allows it to go without worrying about Toxic. It stops Kartana effectively, allowing a way around it besides Ditto. EV’s speak for themselves I think! Sleep Clause is annoying, but not much can be done about that! (Anything to swap out spore for?)
Bisharp @ Dread Plate
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Iron Head
- Knock Off
I’ve loved this Pokemon from the first ever time I played UU. It's a bulky Pokemon - allowing for easy swords dance, it does this while having speed control with sucker punch. Knock off and iron head are stab, with dread plate helping knock off be incredibly strong and do as much as possible. Defiant helps with Mega Manectric, Landorus, Gyrados and Arcanine (They all have Intimidate). Sticky web becomes an advantage too. EV's allow for bulk and damage at the same time.
Tornadus-Therian (M) @ Fightinium Z
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Defog
- Hurricane
- Focus Blast
- Knock Off
One word: Defogger. Unfortunately I'm not allowed only one word, so here goes: Hurricane is for stab and high damage, focus blast is really strong with Fightinium Z, allowing it to take out Tyranitar. Knock off helps with Toxapex, scarf users, and Chansey. It has a great pivot, all while keeping the Tyranitar and Ferrothorn off with Z focus blast! EV's help deal as much damage as possible, without focusing on defence too much.
Chansey (F) @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Heal Bell
- Seismic Toss
- Soft-Boiled
Chansey uses stealth rocks at their best, it has healing, and anti-status. Seismic toss helps with taunt, and default damage, (Ghost types are a worry however). It's an incredible special wall, stopping Tapu Lele, Volcarona, Mega Alakazam and Magearna. It's EV's destroy physical too, but they're normally used that way. It doesn't like knock off at all (Eviolite) but is all in all an amazing Pokemon.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Threats:
Sableye:
It's immune to seismic toss, can burn Bisharp and Breloom and is an overall nuisance, although Ditto can pp stall it.
Volcarona:
Again, not for exactly for Ditto, but it does have fire attacks that can threaten Breloom and Bisharp.
etc: (I struggle with recognising these things).
