Hi everyone,
I've been playing PokeMMO PvP since September, and I know what are the most relevant mons for the actual metagame.
I managed to made a decent team with a good strategy; however, I started to get bored to use always the same Pokémon.
I often see rain teams, but I rarely see sun teams. I then started to think of a sun team which could potentially be competitive also in OU. I know it's not that easy, since Ninetales can't have Draught up to now... but I want to give a try.
I've already chosen the first three mons of the team:
Exeggutor is my favourite Pokémon and must be there... in the past I used to run it with Sunny Day to keep the sun after Pelipper/Tyranitar switchs in, but recently I found it much more useful to use Hidden Power fire to counter a lot 4x weak mons such as Ferrothorm, Scizor, and also other annoying steel types such as Magnezone.
Torkal is needed to set up the sun upon switching. I'm still in doubt for what move to take out for Stealth Rock... Solar Beam could be a bless for countering x4 weak mons (Swampert), however I almost never use it, due to the low Special Attack stat of Torkoal.
Arcanine is just perfect for this team: Flare Blitz under the sun is devastating, and a fire physical sweeper comes really handy against Will-O-Wisp walls.
For the other three Pokémon of the team, I have no Idea what could be the best choices. Up to now, I'm using for the fourth and fifth:
I like Umbreon as a general wall. Foul Play is a need to counter Dragon Dance/Swords Dance physical sweepers, and is useful to heal teammates HP. I can't decide whether Toxic should be replaced with Heal Bell or not... however, since my physical sweeper can't be burned, I think I'll stick with Toxic.
Gengar is just a temporary special sweeper, with different coverage from Exeggutor, but maybe it doesn't fits well in this team.
About the last Pokémon, I have really no idea... I'm trying with a couple of walls I already had in the previous team:
Or even another physical sweeper:
However, non of these seems to work well (I tryed one of these last three mons since I already had them available).
Can you give me any advices on the last 2-3 Pokémon to invest in for this sun team?
