Black Panda's Pokemon Showdown Team!

Hey guys, I'm Black Panda and I'm usually on Breakdown. I realized (after like a year of playing this game, sad I know) that setting up entry hazards as well as being able to get rid of them are important. I built this team and it's done fairly well so far. I wish to make it better, and all comments are appreciated




Deoxys-Defense @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Taunt
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- Seismic Toss

Deoxys-D. It's pretty much the easiest thing to use to set up SR and Spikes due to its great defenses. ANother plus about this is that if timed correctly, you can be able to stop Baton Pass teams before they get too far and hopefully stop it (I've actually never been able to fully defeat it but I've been able to stop it temporarily)



Mamoswine @ Choice Band
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake
- Icicle Crash
- Stone Edge

Here is Mamoswine, my most useful pokemon. It stops all dragons and therian forms. It's also useful against volt switchers.



Volcarona @ Flame Plate
Trait: Flame Body
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Fiery Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Giga Drain

Volcarona is here to ruin everything. Giga Drain is downright nasty, and Fiery Dance and Bug Buzz need no explanation. I decided to use Flame Plate because I didn't want Life Orb or Leftovers, but wanted something to boost attack power.


Salamence @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Moxie
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SAtk
Lonely Nature
- Outrage
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast

When the steel types have been knocked out by Volcarona, it's officially over for you unless you have a Mamoswine. If this thing gets on a roll, it's unstoppable due to Moxie. However, if Steel Types are still standing, Salamence can still always outspeed a pokemon with its scarf.


Starmie @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Rapid Spin

Starmie is the MVP of this team. Without it, Volcarona would be useless. It can defeat Gengar by outspeeding and Psychic, and defeat Jellicent, as Will-o-Wisp is useless.


Conkeldurr @ Leftovers
Trait: Guts
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Bulk Up
- Mach Punch
- Ice Punch
- Drain Punch

Conkeldurr is possibly one of the most hard to get rid of pokemon in the planet in my opinion. With Bulk Up it easily braces Psyshock and can take any physical hit. It's pretty fun to use.


So there's my team! All rating would be nice, and in case you want to use this team, the importable is in the spoiler. When I get suggestions, I'll change them in the spoiler. Thanks .



Importable:

Spoiler:

Volcarona. Go Life Orb over Flame Plate, since you have Giga Drain. Also, go Timid Nature over Modest Nature so you can outrun more Pokemon after a boost. Other than that, I have nothing to say for your rather offensive team.

Well, whenever you have a Deoxys-D on a team to set up hazards, it is always good to have a spinblocker. Chandelure, Gengar, Jellicent or Sableye would work. Its your choice which one you use. In my opinion, I would probably say SubDisable Gengar could work very well for you.

Ok, a few things:

For Mamoswine, I would try out a Jolly nature over the Adamant nature. Joly enables Mamoswine to outspeed certain Pokemon, most notably Heatran.

For Volcarona, either Wise Glasses, Life Orb, or Leftovers will be more useful than Flame Plate. Flame Plate only boosts the power of fire moves, and Wise Glasses and Life Orb both boost power of all of Volcarona's moves. Leftovers enables Volcarona to survive in battles longer.

For Slamence, I would try out Aqua Tail over Fire Blast (and Adamant over Lonely for the nature), since Aqua Tail gets boosted by Moxie (and Rain at times), whereas Fire Blast does not.
