Hello. I am very new to competitive Pokemon battling, and I've only played 2 battles (a victory in NU and a loss in RU). However, I am experienced in all of the terms, EVs, and roles of Pokemon. Also I want to be more of an aggressive player. Here is my team and I would like you to makes suggestions about the Pokemon I have or even switching Pokemon:
Kangaskhan: Silk Scarf
Ability: Scrappy
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA)
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spe, 4 HP
-Body Slam
-Earthquake
-Outrage
-Fake Out
I don't know if this is a good idea, but I would use Kangaskhan as my lead and try to flinch something first turn. He is one of my physical sweepers, so I gave him max attack and 3 other attacking moves. I chose Body Slam over Return for my STAB move because of the paralysis chance. I also chose Earthquake and Outrage as my 2 other attacking moves.
Arbok: Black Sludge
Ability: Intimidate
Jolly Nature (+Spe, -SpA)
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spe, 4 HP
-Coil
-Gunk Shot
-Earthquake
-Seed Bomb
I really love Arbok. He is one of my favorite Pokémon. I would like to use him as my physical set-up sweeper. I have max Speed on him so I can attack first most of the time. Gunk Shot is my STAB move, and I have Earthquake and Seed Bomb for type coverage.
Gardevoir: Wise Glasses/Life Orb
Ability: Trace
Modest Nature (+SpA, -Spe)
EVs: 252 SpA, 252 Spe, 4 HP
-Calm Mind
-Psychic
-Thunderbolt
-Shadow Ball
I want to use Gardevoir as my Special set-up sweeper. I have max Special Attack for maximum damage. Psychic is for STAB, and Thunderbolt and Shadow Ball for type coverge.
Charizard: Choice Specs
Ability: Blaze
Modest Nature (+SpA, -Spe)
EVs: 252 SpA, 252 Spe, 4 HP
-Flamethrower
-Air Slash
-Dragon Pulse
-Focus Blast
I am using Charizard as a full-out powerhouse for Special Attack. Just like Gardevoir, I have max Special Attack for maximum damage output. I chose Flamethrower over Fire Blast for my STAB move because Flamethrower has decent damage and I don't want to miss with Charizard. I have Air Slash as my second STAB and Dragon Pulse and Focus Blast for type coverage. I want to get rid of Focus Blast because it's not that reliable; but there is no other good special attacking move. I am thinking of swapping Focus Blast with Roost.
Lickilicky: Leftovers
Ability: Own Tempo
Impish Nature (+Def, -SpA)
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Atk
-Protect
-Toxic
-Earthquake
-Body Slam
I really don't like the idea of using Lickilicky as a cleric because I am more of an aggressive battler. I think Lickilicky is a very good physical wall with a lot of potential. My EVs make Lickilicky a better wall. However, I also want Lickilicky to do some damage and get kills, so I gave him Body Slam for STAB and Earthquake for type coverage. I want to stall with him too, but I can't figure out a stalling set. I honestly think there is something wrong with my Lickilicky and I need your help.
Articuno: Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Calm Nature (+SpD, -Atk)
EVs: 252 SpD, 88 HP, 84 SpA, 84 Spe
-Protect
-Toxic
-Roost
-Ice Beam
Articuno is my Special Defense wall and is a Pokémon I feel confident in stalling with. Protect + Roost allows Articuno to stall effectively when paired up with Toxic. I also have Ice Beam as my STAB attack to do some damage when I can.
Well, here is my NU tier team. I really need your helps and suggestions and I will be very grateful for it.
(P.S.) How do I put in the animated Pokémon sprites that I see in other RMTs?
