Guide to Competitive Battling by MMawile
Hey guys and girls it’s me MMawile from perfectpokemon.com and today I’m here to talk about team building and competitive. First and foremost im not an expert on this, but im pretty damn close anyways this is a guide built for the new guy or newb (to put thing crudely) that want to make a splash in the meta game. I’ll be using my team as example
(Bisharp, rotom-w, furfrou, florges, noivern, and mawile(mega)
Ok let’s get started
First step to building your team is to select your all time #1 favorite Pokémon.
"Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best.” - Elite 4 Karen
Bisharp (M) @ Dread Plate
Ability: Defiant, Shiny: Yes
EVs: 68 HP / 252 Atk / 188 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Knock Off
- Iron Head
- Stealth Rock
- Sucker Punch
Let’s begin. I love bisharp! He’s so badass! Great ghost and fairy killer (and a lot of other types). IMO he was introduced a generation too early. But never the less he’s a great Pokémon. Most of the time I lead with him if he isn’t needed for later I set up SR and then use knock off on their lead. Most of the time its usually a ferrothorn and kinda relies on its item to be pretty annoying. Iron head is for Fairies and Ice types which are troublesome for another Pokémon of mine. Finally sucker punch is used to hit faster Pokémon. The Evs are custom max ATK to make Bisharp hit as hard as possible, 68 HP to give him some bulk, and 188 Speed to out speed bulky rotom forms and knock off their item (cause they really rely on their item). Defiant is the ability of choice because of stick web (-speed, +2 in ATK).
Florges (f) @ Pixie Plate
Ability: Flower Veil, Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 176 SAtk / 80 SDef
Calm Nature
- Wish
- Moonblast
- Calm Mind
- Aromatherapy
My 2nd Pokemon is Florges. Florges’s role on the team is clerk support (wish + aromatherapy). However when push comes to shove florges can fend for herself. With Moonblast + STAB + Pixie plate = lolz
She also has calm mind to boost even further. With this set florges can single handedly defeat a special attacking Aegislash… WOW. The Evs are also custom, Max HP to have a lot of bulk, 176 SP.Atk to reach 304 with a calm nature, and dump the rest on to SP.Def to bring you up to 400. With this EV spread Florges can sweep unprepared teams that only expect her to be a clerk.
Rotom-Wash @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 Spd
Bold Nature
- Rest
- Volt Switch
- Will-O-Wisp
- Hydro Pump
My 3rd Pokemon is Rotom-W. Rotom-w not only forms ½ of my volt turn core but it’s role is also to spread status. Its also the classic ChestoRest strategy. He helps against heatran which is a bother to Florges and Bisharp and serves a counter to talonflame. That’s pretty much it for rotom-w its quite common so people know a lot about it…
Furfrou (f) @ leftovers
Ability: Fur Coat, shiny: yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SP.Def
Impish nature
- Roar
- U-Turn
- Return
- Thunder Wave
As we all know I love furfrou! (Especially the Matron trim!). Furfrou serves as my pivot, parashuffler, the other ½ of my volt turn core and completes a defense core with florges. All four of which she does beautifully. The EVs are staples and should not be messed with as are the moves, with the ev spread furfrou can survive a max attack (adamant nature) life orb close combat from Tarrakion…DAMN!!! And paralyze him then dip with U-turn. Leftovers is the item of choice, but if you want rocky helmet is also a good choice just be aware though that even though you gain more passive damage you lose passive recovery, besides furfrou is mainly targeted on her special side. Which is why florges exist on the team.
Noivern (f) @ life orb
Female
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 SP.Atk / 252 Speed / 6 SP.Def
Timid nature
- Hurricane
- Focus Blast
- Shadow Ball
- Draco Meteor
Noivern is my baby, and wall breaker (wall avoider…lolz) the standard life orb noivern set. No need to explain. Shares type synergy with rotom-w, bisharp, and mawile. Hurricane kills literally almost all fighting types even assault vest conkeldurr. Focus blast mames lucario and terrakion. Draco meteor is STAB, and shadow ball is coverage. Infiltrator is a must!!! Besides its funny seeing people freak out when a move goes through substitute…lolz
Mawile (F) @ Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate = Huge Power
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 6 Def
Adamant Nature
- Iron Head
- Play Rough
- Sucker Punch
- Power-Up Punch
Mega Mawile is the star of my team and is my absolute favorite Pokemon since ruby version!!! She is also the most extreme “rags to riches” pokemon in this generation shift. For those that don’t know Mega Mawile is now known for having the HIGHEST ATTACK stat in Pokemon history. Factoring 339 ATK (adamant nature and 252 EVs) with Huge Power (339 x 2 = 678) that’s the equivalent of having a base 259 Attack stat. that’s Crazy ! She has perfect synergy with noivern and Rotom-w cause they cover each other’s weaknesses. She is basically my late game cleaner and last resort. Not having to set up swords dance because of power-up punch (albeit its slower to gain the boost but it does damage, can’t be taunted, and offers coverage).
