[1st PvP Team (OU) on PokeMMO, help would be appreciate]

Honestly guys I really appreciate the fact that you parcipate that much but at the end it does not help me: what I'm supposed to understand about this scizor... I'm even more lost than the previous page.

The idea behind Gengar's Psychic was to deal with Fighting-type pokes since I do not have a Psychic poke. Same idea behind Chandelure's one :)

Thanks all for the feedback! 

 

Even if i'm not answering a lot, I'm reading all your comments and learning from it. I understand my flaws better. Time to work on it :)

 Hey guys,

 

started the game 2-3 weeks ago with friends and god we enjoy it! Since we finished the storyline of Kanto Hoenn & Unova, we're excited to build/play in PvP!

Here is what I would like to play: https://www.poketools.fr/equipe/948720180406120233.html

I'm well aware that it's in french therefore i'll just translate it below (linked it so you can get a quick idea of what I would like to play):

 

Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet

Ability: Iron Barbs

Evs : 4 SpD / 252 HP / 252 Def

Relaxed Nature

-Stealth Rock

-Thunder Wave

-Power Whip

-Gyro Ball

 

 

Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 Def / 252 HP / 252 Atk
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Crunch
- Stone Edge
- Superpower

 

 

Excadrill @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Iron Head

 

 

Chandelure @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Fire Blast
- Shadow Ball
- Psychic
- Energy Ball

 

 

Jellicent @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 4 Def / 252 HP / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Scald
- Recover
- Will-O-Wisp
- Hex

 

 

Gengar @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Sludge Wave
- Psychic

 

So the main idea is to play around sandstorm and allow Excadrill to sweep! It somehow makes sense in my head:

- 1 climat inducer & 1 climat abuser

- 1 DEF tank

- 1 DEFSPE tank

-  decent immunities (Normal-,Fighting-,Water-,Fire-,Ground-,Electrik-,Psychic-type)

-2 ATK poke

-2 ATKSPE poke

-Some moves (Thunder Wave/Will-O-Wisp) to make Excadrill's life easier

 

Here's my issues:

 

- I find myself with 3 Specter-type (Gengar, Jellicent & Chandelure)

- Fighting-type: Don't have one (chose to use Focus Blast on Gengar but might be tricky) and no counter (that's why I chose Psychic on Chandelure's & Gengar's moveset)

- Dragon-type: I lack counters and I don't even have a Dragon-type myself (is it mandatory?)

- Water-type: even if Jellicent is immune to it, I do not have any Electrik-type move - only Ferrothorn's Power Whip to hit super effectively (is it enough?)

 

 

So that's what I can see when I look back on my team. I'm thinking about switching:

 

- Chandelure -> Arcanine: still immune to Fire and I do get priority move that I lack so much (Extrem speed) & an Electrik-type move (Wild Charge).

--> Issue: I might have too much ATK pokes and not enough ATKSPE

 

- Gengar->Kingdra: I do get access to a Dragon-type poke, can still contest Grass-type (Ice beam I guess?) and might be able to deal with Rain team.

--> Issue: I lose my only Ground-type immunity and I have a lot of Ground weaknesses...

 

-Jellicent->Starmie: Psychic STAB! It would allow me to deal effectively with Fighting-type pokes while getting an offensive slot for Water-type at the same time.

--> Issue: I lose Water-type immunity and my DEFSPE tank. 

 

 

---------

 

As you probably figured out, I'm just a casual poke player with little knowledge about PvP. Feel free to tell/suggest/explain me how do you see my team and what I should focus on to improve it overall!

 

Thanks for reading :^)
