Competitive Play

I'm starting to makea lot of doubles team. My star is a Delphox with the move Role Play that can copy my Serperior's Contrary and then I'll have Serp raising its sp atk with leaf storm and Del doing the same with overheat. It's a fullproof plan for me. And if serperior is unable to be copied I just take my lanturn's volt absorbs and have lanturn continuously use discharge. And if there are ground types on the field I simply copy my Eelectross's Levitate. And lastly I have mega sceptile's lightning rod to take advantage of. I made this team to excel around delphox's role playing power and its pretty good. If you want I can post full set details in the traditional format.

Completely your option it would be interesting to see. Your style is very unique.

My first team started with Datkrai with dream eater and dark void plus it's hp draining sleep ability. My next is lucario as my mega which will try and be a sweeper. My last three is sawsbuck, walrein and rhyperior. My thing is jut to have all types and cover every weakness but I've had a rethink...

What format are you playing? And what do you plan on doing with the team (like whats your plan in battle)? If you plan on using Lucario as your sweeper then try having some pokemon that can support it.

 

[OtakuFallenAngel]

I'm not sure how to use a support. For now just single battles.

Well basically have other pokemon either raise stats then baton pass/u turn/volt switch into lucario or set up entry hazards such as spikes or stealth rocks to punish switches and wear down the opponents much more easily.

 

[OtakuFallenAngel]

So say I had 1 pokemon power up (raise attack) and set up a stealth rock then once it starts getting low ho swap out? Sorry new to competetive play I'm one of those people who just hope for luck XD

 

[3905]

Well what I'd do is start off with speed boost ninjask and have it set up substitute then baton pass to lucario so that it gets one stage speed boost so it can outspeed almost anything so you can try raising attack with Power Up Punch so that it can easily be your team's physical sweeper. Just a thought but normally speed boost ninjask provides good support having access to baton pass and substitute.

 

[OtakuFallenAngel]

Oooooohhhh I get it. YAYY. I might have Draping or Sylveon or something to boost speed and attack.

 

[3905]

Yea your getting it. Just get creative with how you want your pokemon to work together and in no time you'll be making teams left and right

When I started playing 6th gen my first competitive team consisted of Mega Lucario, Noivern, Volcarona, Torterra, Suicune and Gardevoir. It's my triple battle team, although I spend a lot more time playing them in doubles than I do in triples now. They have no set strategy; I designed this team to handle legends, so it's best suited to adapt to any situation unlike the majority of my other teams that may have gimmicks like hail or Trick Room to make battles more to their favor.

My second team, a singles set, consists of Mega Absol (originally Zoroark), Ferrothorn, Clefable, Gallade, Garchomp, and Talonflame (originally Mega Gengar). Like the first set, this one has no set strategy and adapts to whatever situation I'm in.

Ha funny I started wig Lucario and Noivern but I started to reconsider so I have special abilities a variety of moves but no strategy. But I might have a team of sweepers and supports.

I would get a Ferrothorn, Talonflame, and chansey

Not being rude but can I ask why. And what specifics?

Ferrothorn can set up spikes and stealth rock and it can have a rocky helmet. It's tanky. Talonflame's ability gives priority to flying moves and with the sharp beak, brave bird can be stronger. It's also pretty fast. Chansey is pretty tanky and with seismic toss and soft boiled it can be pretty dangerous

Oooh thank you
