New member here, and new to the competitive scene. Trying out this team, and it's kinda rushed, but I did spend a good amount of time thinking about it (yes I just contradicted myself :/)
Defense Tenshi
Item: Lum Berry
Ability: Hisouten
EVs: 252HP, 252DEF, 4SPDEF
- Rest
- Roar
- Sleep Talk
- Spikes
I had this dream back when I was a kid that I wanted to somehow be an annoying prick on almost every game I played where I play against others. I think D-Tenshi here can satisfy that dream of mine of being a complete arse. Simply, Spike three layers and Roar everything. If I'm running out of health, just Rest and continue on with Sleep Talk. Of course it's easy to get shut down by an early spinner or with Taunt, but hey, even at lategame, as long as I can keep the opponent from running a Nasty Plot to Baton Pass onto a special sweeper, I could get by (or I could just roar the spinner and continue spiking :V (loljk)).
Lily Black
Item: Liechi Berry
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252DEF, 252SPDEF, 4HP
- Baton Pass
- Detect
- Swords Dance
- Substitute
Yet another member that can be completely shut down with Taunt. Well, anyway, Lily Black is a dedicated passer of the Speed Boost, and if possible, Swords Dance. To that extent, she can just keep on trying Substitute until she can sink a Swords Dance in and/or have the berry activate. Then, she'll pass the boost on. Detect at the last try, for even just the speed boost.
Attack Suika
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252HP, 252ATK, 4SPD
- Earthquake
- Rest
- Roar
- Strength
Dedicated to my recently-deceased friend (hold the feels ;w;). The goal of Lily Black is to pass the boost, hopefully with an Attack boost at that, to this; one of two possible switch-ins for the Baton Pass move. Attack Suika boasts a great ATK stat, and has the always-reliable Earthquake move. She also has the Sand Stream ability, wherein the resulting sandstorm doesn't affect the team's four main members. If resistant/ineffective, she could either just switch out or make do with Strength, hopefully being able to raise her own Attack in the process. If I'm lucky enough that Spikes are still up, I could also resort to repetitive Roars.
Goliath
Item: Special Bloomers
Special Ability: Maintenance
EVs: 252HP, 252ATK, 4DEF
- Fury Cutty
- Braver
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
The second physical sweeper. Lily Black being able to pass Swords Dance and Speed Boost onto this one mains a lot of pain, due to Special Bloomers and Fury Cutter. If the initial damage of Fury Cutter ain't reliable, then it's easy to use either Braver or Earthquake instead anyway. Either way, they all benefit from the passes and item. And if someone successfully steals her underwear, she could throw in a Swords Dance somewhere.
Speed Yorihime
Item: Scope Lens
Ability: Keen Eye
EVs: 252HP, 252SPATK, 4SPDEF
- Flamethrower
- Rest
- Thunderbolt
- Sonicboom
The team's only special sweeper, and one that can benefit from Lily Black only from Speed Boost. She's mostly there to fill out the gaps in Suika and Goliath's offense. Of course I can replace her with someone else that could probably handle the job better, but as for now, nope. Also, favoritism lol.
Advent Meiling
Item: Leftovers
Special Ability: Advent
EVs: 252HP, 128DEF, 128SPDEF
- Heal Bell
- Roar
- Slack Off
- Vital Throw
Honestly I was only looking for a cleric, but when I saw that this one can not only be a cleric, but can also use Roar, Slack off, and Vital throw, she instantly caught my eye. Heal Bell to cure the team, obviously, Roar to, if Spikes has been set, to continue the harassment, Vital throw to remove any possibly or obviously unwanted items from their puppets, and Slack off to, well, slack off.
Yeah that's my first team. Honestly though, I'm pretty new at this since I've only been recently taught by a female Fil-Am friend of mine about the competitive scene. Sorry if the team is bad xD that's why I'm asking for reviews and criticisms/suggestions on how to improve this.
