Introduction
Hello Smogon, I'm new in PU, and I decided to know this tier because of the current Suspect of Machoke.
After some battles with sample times, I decided to create its own around what I like in OU, so I set out to create a stall team.
Build Process
I decided to start with one physical wall and other special, creating a Regenerator core, with both being able to abuse Knock Off.
I wanted a PP control, Pressure Dusclops is great to halve Toxic, Stealth Rock, Defog or even being a Spin Block.
A Monferno switch, Swanna has water resistance and support Defog.
I needed a bulk ground that was not weak to Ice, and also a Stealth Rock user, Camerupt is able to handle Zebstrika or Rotom-F without wearing Audino in excess.
Finally, knowing that it is impossible to cover everything defensively, I decided to use a revenge kill, Ditto punishes setuppers and even help against defensive teams, as always comes with 5 PP each time that he enter into battle.
The team
Miojo Shoes (Tangela) (F) @ Eviolite
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
- Knock Off
- Sludge Bomb
- Giga Drain
- Synthesis
Tangela is the physical sponge.
Knock Off because removing items is always good.
Giga Drain pseudo-recovery.
Sludge Bomb coverage against other Grass and try to poisoned.
Synthesis to not rely on Regenerator.
Nurse Unova (Audino) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Protect
- Wish
- Heal Bell
- Knock Off
Audino is the special sponge.
Wish and Heal Bell for support.
A second Knock Off often surprise the opponent.
Protect to scout and ensure Wish recovery.
PP King (Dusclops) (M) @ Eviolite
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Will-O-Wisp
- Haze
Dusclops is my slow win condition.
Pressure halves the PP Stealth Rock, 32> 16, making Defog of Swanna better hazard control, and Toxic 16> 8, making Heal Bell more effective.
Rest Talk gives me longevity.
Will-O-Wisp because burning is great.
Haze allows me to better control bulky setupers as Coil Arbok Substitute or Shed Skin, among other Calm Mind users, in addition, 48 PP is great for a PP war.
Skyla 30% Skill (Swanna) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Hydration
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD / 4 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Air Slash
- Roost
- Defog
Swanna is my Monferno switch, hazard remove and double 30% of skill with Air Slash and Scald, Roost course for recovery.
Hot Camel (Camerupt) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Solid Rock
EVs: 248 HP / 80 Def / 180 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stealth Rock
- Lava Plume
- Earth Power
- Roar
Camerupt is my Stealth Rock boy. Interrupting Volt-Switch and putting Zebstrika in check, Lava Plume to try burn and Roar for phazer.
Amoeba Rosa (Ditto) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Imposter
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 30 Spe
- Transform
Ditto, oh this guy.
When something threatens press me offensively taking a Pokemon, it easily enters as revenge kill can lead even the whole team already weakened.
Against defensive teams, it works well as PP abuser and may enter Audino opponent, lose Choice Scarf to Knock Off, and allow me to have a pseudo second Audino with potentially infinite Wish and Heal Bell.
30 IVs speed because Hidden Power will be Ice.
Threats
