Greetings, dear reader. This is the first RMT that I actually make at this forum so I hope to follow all the rules and everything else. I want to apologize for my english too, it isnt my main language so maybe I have a couple mistakes in my writing. Whatever, lets start. Spoiler: My team Spoiler: Details Keyblade (Manectric) (M) @ Manectite Trait: Lightningrod EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Flamethrower - Thunderbolt - Volt Switch - Hidden Power [Ice] The star of my team, Mega Manectric. I usually lead with him as I can gain momentum with Volt Switch and have great coverage with Flamethrower. I absorb electric attacks (These dont come a lot since this is an Electric Monotype) before Mega Evolving him whenever I can. Hidden Power Ice serves me pretty good to beat speedy Dragons that dont expect a 405 Speed and for that silly new frog with amazing Speed. Roar (Raikou) @ Leftovers Trait: Pressure EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Shadow Ball - Calm Mind - Hidden Power [Ice] - Thunderbolt Raikou. Maybe the best electric set up sweeper after Nasty Plot Thundurus. He can take lots of hits and after he sets up with 1 or 2 calm minds, he is ready to sweep and sweep almost unstoppably. I use him as a lead sometimes because I can take advantage of the hazards being set while I set up. Shadow Ball is for coverage, Hidde Power Ice for problematic Earth types and Dragons. Thunderbolt as my always trustful STAB. With his nature, I can outspeed Gengar who is very annoying to the team. Basilisk (Heliolisk) (M) @ Choice Specs Trait: Dry Skin EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Surf - Grass Knot - Focus Blast - Thunderbolt Heliolisk is an awesome help to an Electric Monotype Team because of its ability to freely absorb water attacks and great stats to strike back and 2HKO almost anything. He usually acts as my late game cleaner because it can be a pain to lose him too early in the game. He revenge kills pretty well too. Thunder Bolt is a great STAB, Surf, Grass Knot and Focus Blast are for coverage. One of his main problems is that he can't take lots of hits but still, he is one of the biggest additions to my team. Since I'm getting the SpAtk boost, I choose to give him a nature that gives him more speed. Blitz (Zapdos) @ Leftovers Trait: Pressure EVs: 248 HP / 240 SDef / 20 Spd Bold Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Roost - Defog - Discharge - Heat Wave The good old Zapdos. He serves as the tank of my team, as he can stand lots of hits and hit back pretty good. Heat Wave is very good for coverage because it can help me to beat those Steel types relatively easily. Roost for durability and Defog for those problematic hazards. I choose Discharge over Thunderbolt because of the 30% paralyzing percentage and almost similar strength. It has saved me lots of times and it will keep doing so. Zeus (Thundurus) (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Prankster EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Thunder Wave - Thunderbolt - Psychic - Hidden Power [Ice] Thundurus. He serves pretty good as the speed boosts stopper as he can TW them and let me try to take them down with whatever I have. He is pretty good at sweeping too. Still, I feel like a Mixed Thundurus would be better but I don't know which moves to use. Psychic is for Fighting Types and Hidden Power Ice for Earth types. H.G.N. (Electivire) (M) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Vital Spirit EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Volt Switch - Ice Punch - Earthquake - Low Kick Electivire (H.G.N. stands for Here Goes Nothing). The revenge killer of my team. With this almost never seen set, I surprise everyone and revenge kill efficiently. Low Kick over Cross Chop for TTar and MTTar. Volt Switch over Wild Charge for momentum. Spoiler: Threats Chansey and Blissey. They can stall my whole team with no problem at all. Mega Venasaur. He stands all my attacks with ease, hitting me back harder. Thanks for reading and rating. Please, Sol de Jote and Carlmurray gave me amazing sugestions, but I would like to know who should go out in order for one of those pokemons to go in. That has been my biggest problem changing the team, There are many good pokemons but I don't really know where to add them. Spoiler: Importable Basilisk (Heliolisk) (M) @ Choice Specs Trait: Dry Skin EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Surf - Grass Knot - Focus Blast - Thunderbolt Blitz (Zapdos) @ Leftovers Trait: Pressure EVs: 248 HP / 240 SDef / 20 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Roost - Defog - Discharge - Heat Wave Roar (Raikou) @ Leftovers Trait: Pressure EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Shadow Ball - Calm Mind - Hidden Power [Ice] - Thunderbolt Zeus (Thundurus) (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Prankster EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Thunder Wave - Thunderbolt - Psychic - Hidden Power [Ice] Keyblade (Manectric) (M) @ Manectite Trait: Lightningrod EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Flamethrower - Thunderbolt - Volt Switch - Hidden Power [Ice] H.G.N. (Electivire) (M) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Vital Spirit EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Volt Switch - Ice Punch - Earthquake - Low Kick
I'm not a Monotype expert, but I think you have too many mono-electric typing mons, anything with a Ground and rock/ice move will simply destroy you easily. We have to think about something to take M-Vena, because he takes Electric, ice and fire attacks easily, and thats pretty much all you have. I'm not sure though about what you should use, so I will leave here some suggestions for you to choose: Magnezone: Magnezone has amazing typing and power, and can help you trap the steel mon of choice to kill him. He resists rock and ice. Galvantula: Bug stab is always nice, he can set-up Sticky web, and Sticky web + speedy electrics will let you outspeed so many thing. He is neutral to ice and ground. Stunfisk: Only electric able to set up Stealth Rock, so i think its worth considering. He also resists rock and has access to the always useful Scald. Eeleektros: Eeleektros can be useful as he has no weaknesses, and he is really versatile. Rotom: Any Rotom form you like, he has levitate for ground types and you can choose from all the others. I would suggest using Electric-ghost, as you have nothing to stop Normal pokémon from destroying you, and he has access to Will-O-Wisp to cripple physical attackers, which are probably Electric types' worst nightmare. Lanturn: Great tank with great typing and abilities, he has access to Heal Bell too. I would leave Manectric/Raikou, and change the other one and Electivire for these options. I'm not sure about Zapdos and heliolisk, Lanturn can also absorb water and tank, so you can change those for Lanturn + something else? I don't know if I helped at all...
Electric has some Niche in Mono, so my suggestions would be: - You can use T-wave/Substitute on Tornadus, Psychic isn't really needed, Tbolt will always hurt lot more. - Magnezone is very good at using Substitute with Charge beam ( you can trap Ferrothorn for exemple) - Change your zapdos spread to Bold, I don't see the point of running Modest and not having any invest in it, especialy for a Defensive mon. - Galvantula isn't needed but can be an addition. - Evire.. I don't know why GameFreak hates Evire for giving him such an horrible moveset, maybe mixed with LO can be better ( and Heliolisk scarf) - You can run any Rotom form, which makes the difference, In my opinion Rotom-W is the most apropriate since it can touch your biggest weakness: ground. -Eelektross can be played with Assault vest, with drain punch, knock off, tbolt and flamethrower. Good luck!
Thanks a lot for your suggestions, they are very appreciated. I thought about all those Pokemons but I don't really know who of my guys should go out for one of them to come in. You did help me Sol de Jote, I'm really thinking in switching one of my guys...I don't know who though. But you suggestions were very good. Yours were too, Carlmurray. I used to run Rotom but the lack of physical attackers was a problem. My bad xD, I never really saw what was his nature. That was a noobish mistake hahah. I will try this, but I'm not really sure. Electivire's Speed isn't very good. It out speeds almost nothing. I will also try this. ^^
