I NEED SUGGESTIONS PLZ



Ninetales
Special Attacker
252 Sp. A/4 Sp. D/ 252 Speed
§ Flamethrower
§ Will-o-Wisp
§ HP Ground
§ Solar Beam
Drought
Timid

I use Ninetales as my lead pokemon. Normally, a ChestoRest set or a wall is expected, but this Ninetales will come out, set up sun, and get straight to business. Will-o-Wisp is to cripple physical attackers, Flamethrower over Fire Blast (Accuracy), HP Ground for Heatrans, Metagross and Jirachi leads, and S-Beam for T-Tar and Politoed. Sun will help Tangrowth.

Porygon2 @ Eviolite
Wall
252 HP / 184 Def / 72 SpD
§ Thunderbolt
§ Ice Beam
§ Toxic
§ Recover
Trace
Bold

Ever since Eviolite came out, I fell in love with this guy. I had been looking for a wall for a long time, and there comes P2. He can wall a lot of pokemon. Trace is very useful because it can copy Magic Guard, Levitate, etc. BoltBeam for coverage, and recover to heal. EV's prevent 2HKO Draco Meteor Salamence and OHKO from Life Orb + 1 Haxorus Outrage.



Tangrowth @ Life Orb
Chlorophyll Says Hi
252 Atk / 4 Sp.A / 252 Speed
§ Power Whip
§ HP Fire
§ E-Q/Rock Slide
§ Sleep Powder/Growth
Chlorophyll
Naughty

Allthough it isn't as fast as other Cholophyll users, Tangrowth still packs a fast punch. It is bulky without investment, and can really hit hard if not expecting it. Power Whip is a must-have STAB. HP Fire OHKO's other grass types, as well as 2HKO's ( Sometimes OHKO ) Scizor and Ferrothorn. Other two slots i need help on.

Latias @ Leftovers
Calm Mind
252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Speed
§ Calm Mind
§ Recover
§ Dragon Pulse
§ HP Fire
Levitate
Timid

Unlike Latios, which prefers to hit with its best shot, Latias is a more specially defensive pokemon, possesing 130 Sp. D, but still having 110 Sp. Atk that hurts after a Calm Mind or two. Recover restores half of its HP, which is always nice. Calm Mind makes it more lethal and more bulkier. Dragons Pulse is a sold STAB attack that hurts without being Calm Mind-boosted. HP Fire is for Steel and Grass Walls.

EMPTY SLOT, NEED SUGGESTIONS


Heatran @ Leftovers
248 HP / 8 Sp.A / 252 SDef
§ Lava Plume
§ Earth Power
§ Taunt
§ Roar
Flash Fire
Calm

Haven't tested yet.



WOULD APPRECIATE SUGGESTIONS








OMG SOMEONE ELSE HELP ME

Why don't you just use solar beam on ninetales?

Another thing I'm noticing about the team is that, while if you have sun up the whole time it looks like it would work well, however, you are going to have problems with other weather teams, namely sand. If you let ninetales die against a sand team you are dead in the water, because something like excadrill is going to pound right through you.

The last thing I have to say about your team is that your last two pokemon bug me. Mismagius might be somewhat helpful if it can trap something that it can handle, but more often than not, you're probably going to trap a counter. Which why not many pokemon run mean look outside of umbreon since he can pass the effects off. I mean Missy really just has to be avoid being OHKO'd with protect, and pain split and the like. But it just sounds unreliable, I would even think about going the other way and instead of bulk, give it max speed and sub stall the turns of perish song if you can. But in reality I think it is going to slow your team down and take away from your momentum.

Whimsicott seems out of place on this team entirely even more so than mismagius. Cotton guard on whimsy isn't really doing anything I would suggest toxic absolutely, or an actual attacking move so you don't have to worry about taunt if you you catch one coming at you when you don't expect it. If you even plan to use it. Honestly, I don't think it is going to do you much good. But another word of advice for whimsy is that since you are running no attack moves at all... and you are running prankster, why are you using timid with speed investment? If you really want to run the set you are using...

Whimsicott @ leftovers Trait: Prankster
48 HP / 252 Def / 208 spdef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
~ substitute
~ leech seed
~ toxic
~ encore

48 HP gives you a leftovers number and you are now carrying so much more bulk for yourself.

But really I would suggest a pokemon that can cater to some of the needs that your team has. You are super bug and ice weak, bug is not so common (outside of u-turn), but having half your team weak to it, you wont like to see something with a strong bug attack chipping your team away, and ice is one of the most common types to have. To remedy this, you could simply take out whimsy and put in another fire type. You have enough things to take water attacks that you don't need to worry about it and it is a sun team so they will be taking them even better. My first thought would be to put in a charizard, probably scarfed and take advantage of sun + solar power + STAB. However, my second reaction was that you have no steal type and your only answer to strong dragon types is porygon2, which isn't bad, but it isn't good either. so heatran would make a good fit. You could even run a bulky tran, something like...

Heatran (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SAtk / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Lava Plume
- Earth Power
- Taunt
- Roar

He takes hits like a champ and can sponge dragon attacks and other special hits. He has a wide movepool too, so you could run some status, like toxic, or a third attacking move. or make him an all out attacker. *shrug* he really would fit well into your team.


I don't know what I'd put in for missy, but I would take these ideas to heart and keep and open mind. Good luck.

P.S. More RMT posts should look like this.

I agree with what you're saying. I'll take off both pokemon, since I acutally made random choices that I liked.

Heatran you suggested for Whimsicott

Is Magma Storm a good option?
