What's your pokemon team?
- Thread starter Splash_King
- Start date
Sounds like a plan
I'll edit this post with the review, so check back later. Unless someone posts after me.
Edit: Yeah it's not happening today, I'm feeling extremely sick and I've been asleep for like 4 hours. Maybe not tomorrow either. Sorry man.

There ya go Nick.
Rhyperior (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Solid Rock
EVs: 148 HP / 4 Atk / 152 Def / 204 SDef
Impish Nature
- Stone Edge
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Megahorn
Good ole Rhyperior. Well, it's a relatively standard set from what i see, double STAB and Megahorn for coverage is great, SR helps to build up damage to make things easier for the rest of your team. Honestly I think you should change the EVs around just a bit. Keep the ones you have in Special Defense the way you have it cuz u obviously want this to be more defensive and able to take a hit and counter back after getting up SR, so I would say either keep your SD EVs and Max the Attack and HP as much as you can, or straight up max out the Attack and HP. That's my only recommendation for this set.
Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 200 HP / 180 SDef / 128 Def
Adamant Nature
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Body Slam
- Whirlwind
I honestly like this Moveset alot. Only thing really I could see crippling it is a Taunt Bannette (if such a thing exists) or something to that effect. It could also be hurt by the random Choice Trick sets that run a far-apart-muck, but otherwise, not much to say.
Sableye (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 132 SDef / 4 Spd
Calm Nature
- Will-O-Wisp
- Foul Play
- Recover
- Taunt
Interesting. I like your set here. Only thing I would change, and it's just me personally bc I don't like Taunt, is to replace Taunt or Recover with Swagger. Confuses enemy to force switches, and if they don't switch hey, it makes ur Foul Play that much stronger cuz it raises their attack.
Sharpedo (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- Crunch
- Protect
I feel everything is good here except for the EVs. Now I say this because your ability is speed boost. There are a few routes you could go here. I say forget the EVs on your speed, bc with sharpedos natural base 95 speed after a single speed boost, it outpaces everything in the UU that is running around with a Choice Scarf and speed under base 95. I think the only threat really that could still outpace it is Scarf Sceptile. Now, you could go defensive and throw those extra EVs into HP to allow Sharpedo to take an extra hit (cuz otherwise one will knock this sucker out.) the biggest thing you have to fear with him is a priority move in the form of Mach Punch. Without investment in HP (and or Def) Sharpedos rant will come to an abrupt stop. That's the route I would go, much safer that way I think.
Roserade (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 132 SDef / 4 Spd
Calm Nature
- Aromatherapy
- Spikes
- Giga Drain
- Synthesis
I don't think you should run synthesis, ima say that up front. Reason why is the extreme prevalence of weather based teams in today's metagame. 2 of the 3, being Sandstorm and Rain, both mitigate Synthesis into being more of a liability than a way out. My advice, find a different move that you can phase with (possibly Toxic or something to that extent) or give it a STAB move in Sludge Bomb and have the EVs reflect SpAtk investment.
Porygon-Z @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Adaptability
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid Nature
- Tri Attack
- Dark Pulse
- Trick
- Hyper Beam
Porygon Z. Oh me, oh my... It's a beast. Plain and simple. Obviously Tri-Attack is your STAB move of choice, factoring Adaptability to make it one of the, if not the hardest hitting move in UU. However, all is not good for this collection of shapes. Steel types litter the UU environment, and I fear without an answer in the form of Flamethrower, Porygon Z becomes Set up fodder. I see the reason for Hyper Beam, but it lacks synergy with the team. Don't get me wrong, it's stupidly strong with STAB and Adabtability, but you need the coverage of Flamethrower. Moreover, you have Spikes, SR, WoW, and a plethora of other field hazards working for you, that triattack should be more than enough to pick off your opponents. The power Porygon Z can bring to the table with that Hyper Beam with STAB and Adaptability is frightening, but not necessary on a team that obviously does not focus on straight brute force.
All in all, I like the line up. I like your types, I like the coverage, I think it works well together. If I were to change anything, I would say change out Roserade. I understand why you are using it being one of the only users of Spikes in this tier, but it honestly lacks the bulk to set up multiple layers of spikes. I would suggest something like Claydol who can spin away opponents entry hazards while setting up screens to ensure your sweepers (namely Porygon Z and Sharpedo) stay alive long enough to cause good damage.

About my team. I'm unsure on whether or not I wanna raise Rhyperior's attack or not. I'm more concerned about it taking hits then dealing them out. I'm considering replacing Megahorn with Roar, mainly for Substitutes.
Snorlax in particular has some problems with Mismagius due to its Taunt, which leaves Snorlax an absolute sitting duck. I've been considering a more offensive approach, but I don't want to lose out on recovery or Whirlwind. Ugh.
Swagger on Sableye? Interesting. Taunt's really useful against defensive Pokemon, but if I had a 5th moveslot I think Swagger would be a great option for it.
The thing with Sharpy is that it absolutely needs to outspeed everything after one turn of Protect. In particular Choice Scarf Pokemon irritate it. Scarf Darmanitan, Flygon, and similar things are big thorns in my side. Without the speed EV's slower choice scarf Pokemon beat it too, such as Chandelure.
I'm pretty sure that Hail is the only permanent weather condition allowed in UU. Synthesis is crucial for outstalling some Pokemon, as well as setting up Spikes on things like Bronzong.
Porygon Z doesn't learn Flamethrower, sadly. The only other option is HP Fighting, which I used before and I didn't like it. Hyper Beam is good as a last resort attack, though it usually involves Porygon Z getting itself killed next turn.
My team could use some work, but I outright refuse to scrap Sharpedo, Porygon Z, and Sableye, cause they're some of my top favorites. If anything I think I could use another super bulky Pokemon to counter/check hard hitting threats. I would say Slowbro, but it has problems with Heracross, something nothing on my team (aside from, ironically, often Rhyperior) can really switch into it. Maybe Gligar would work.
Anyway, here's my review.

I also check this thread often, it's just I don't post as much.
