    Hi! Welcome to my First ever RMT. Recently RMTs got active so I thought wynaut. I made this team when i started playing LC and it also gave me decent success.

    I decided to make a team around Rufflet + Chinchou.

    [​IMG]
    Rufflet (M) @ Choice Scarf
    Trait: Hustle
    EVs: 252 Atk / 60 Def / 196 Spd
    Jolly Nature
    - Aerial Ace
    - U-turn
    - Superpower
    - Return


    I mainly used Rufflet for revenge killing. With Scarf and Jolly it almost outspeeds whole meta. Aerial Ace for Stab 100% accuracy move with Hustle. Return another STAB move. Superpower for those nasty Steel and Rock types mon and U-turn for maintaing the momentum. Hustle means its Atk is one of thing to be feared.



    [​IMG]
    Chinchou (M) @ Eviolite
    Trait: Volt Absorb
    EVs: 76 HP / 212 Def / 148 SpD / 60 Spd
    Modest Nature
    - Rest
    - Volt Switch
    - Sleep Talk
    - Scald


    Chinchou has lots of Sets. It maintains both Defensive as well as Offensive presense. I chose RestTalk set b/c its hard to take down. Scald STAB move which often give much needed burns to wear down Physical Threats and Volt Switch for momentum and also makes it VoltTurn Core.


    [​IMG]
    Archen @ Berry Juice
    Ability: Defeatist
    EVs: 236 HP / 156 Def / 76 SpD / 36 Spe
    Impish Nature
    - Earthquake
    - Stealth Rock
    - Acrobatics
    - Defog

    Replaced Drilbur with Archen as per @gengar17 's suggestion as it fulfills both hazard setter + removal and it also solved my weakness to flying spam. I chose Earthquake over Rock Slide to hit Pawniard if it tries to use defiant boost need some good predicts tho.


    [​IMG]
    Croagunk (M) @ Eviolite
    Trait: Dry Skin
    EVs: 132 HP / 28 Atk / 116 Def / 106 SAtk / 116 SDef
    Quiet Nature
    - Vacuum Wave
    - Sludge Bomb
    - Knock Off
    - Drain Punch

    Drain Punch for recovering health and Keep it healthy. Sludge Bomb is Croagunk’s most powerful move in this set, hitting Fairy-types super effectively, allowing Croagunk to 2HKO Spritzee. Vacuum Wave for priorty and taking on faster weakened threats. Knock Off is one of the best moves in the game, and it allows Croagunk to knock the items of its switch-ins.



    [​IMG]
    Foongus (M) @ Eviolite
    Trait: Regenerator
    EVs: 124 HP / 156 Def / 72 SAtk / 156 SDef
    Bold Nature
    - Spore
    - Sludge Bomb
    - Giga Drain
    - Clear Smog Hidden Power [Fighting]

    Foongus is one of the best wall in this meta. Spore to put a not Grass type to sleep. Sludge Bomb to hit Fairy types and Spore opposing Grass Types. Giga Drain for its longetivity. I chose Clear Smog for the last slot to clear the boosts as its has good bulk after eviolite to tank some boosted moves. Make sure no to get knocked off too soon.



    [​IMG]
    Carvanha (M) @ Life Orb
    Trait: Speed Boost
    EVs: 196 Atk / 36 Def / 80 SAtk / 36 SDef / 160 236 Spd
    Admant Nature
    - Waterfall
    - Crunch
    - Protect
    - Ice Beam Destiny Bond

    For the last slot i chose Carvanha for the late game sweeper. 90 Base Attack + Life Orb with Speed Boost hits hard. Waterfall and Crunch two much needed STAB moves. Protect to get that necessary Speed Boost. For the last slot i opted for Ice Beam to kill so weakened opposing threats like snivy foongus etc.


    So thats all for the team. I hope you liked it. Ik it might be bad so Suggestions are always welcomed.

    Hi nice team there!

    I find your team to be solid however it has some issues with Sub Diglett. I also find Destiny bond to be a superior choice on Carvanha just so you ohko opposite Snivy or mons that resist you/hold a sash ( such as Abra late game if you don't have another priority mon).
    You also have no counters to Bunnelby which is anyway a big threat in LC ( maybe considering a ghost mon such as yamask could help dealing with this )

    Overall I think it's solid team I quite like your Chinchou set which comes handy against most electric and water threat. Hope I helped :)

    I changed Ice Beam to Destiny Bond and EVs on Carvanha accordingly. I'll try to fit a bulky ghost in the team (Pumpkaboo or Yamask).
    Thx for the suggestion Carl :]

    Hi and Congrats on your first RMT.
    Solid team mate but I guess SD Fletchling might give you problem.
    +2 252+ Atk Fletchling Return vs. 76 HP/212 Def Eviolite Chinchou: 16 - 21 (64 - 84%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
    And since you have two poison type Pokemon so the core of Shadow Tag Gothita and Sprtizee can be a problem.
    But overall nice team.

    Fletchling doesn't run Return.

    Nice Team! i see that you're tad weak to flying spam since you only have 1 resist named chinchou but i think you can play around it anyway, good job i guess.

    cool team jethahax, since u have a bird weakness, namely little tflame, and considering chinchou will likely get knocked off at some point, the first thing that came to mind to fix this issue is probably archen with defog + sr over drilbur, although defogging isnt as good as spinning, it would fix ur issue somewhat
    Archen @ Eviolite
    Level: 5
    Ability: Defeatist
    EVs: 236 HP / 156 Def / 76 SpD / 36 Spe
    Impish Nature
    - Rock Slide
    - Roost
    - U-turn
    - Defog

    and i recommend hp fighting on little mushroom over clear smog to not be set up fodder vs little bish, and also in case u have to defog with archen and it gets problematic
    edit: the rmt title is creepy af btw

    Replaced Drilbur with Archen thx to gengu :] as it did both hazard setter remove + resists flying spam as pawn might try to set up on foongus which will sweeep so hp fight over clear smog is better option.

    Also i agree Spritzee+Goth can be problem but i can play it around w/ other mons i think needed good predictions tho. Thanks for the suggestion Jad :]
