A 5th Gen Dream Team


Created by Lolman

Its a 5th Gen dream team which is composed of my favourites.
Big Shield the Deoxys
Holding Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Moves: Nature: Careful
Defense EV: 248
Special Defense EV: 248
HP EV: 14

A deoxys defence lead is not common but can be proved to be quite effective when done well. Stealth Rock gives you some entry hazards against your opponents and you then have Taunt to stop stallers that like to use Toxic, Wish, etc. Night Shade then deals 100 damage after every hit which is always useful. Then Recover just adds to his bulkiness by restoring his health.

Big Oven the Rotom
Holding Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
Moves: Nature: Timid
Defense EV: 6
Special Attack EV: 252
Speed EV: 252

My Oven Rotom, as a choice Spec'ed Pokemon it should only need one Overheat to OHKO a lot of things in the OU environment. Next I have Volt Switch in case i sence a switch about to happen. Hp Grass is used to take out Bulky waters like Swampert and Vaporeon. Finally i've got Trick to just screw up my opponent.

Mind F*ck the Zoroark
Holding Life Orb
Ability: Illusion
Moves: Nature: Timid
Special Attack EV: 252
Speed EV: 252
HP EV: 6

As the name suggests this guy is annoying, as disguised as a Roserade, most people whould be thinking I am trying to set up either Spikes or Sunny Day. They might even try to use a psychic attack against me. Well with Nasty Plot i can boost my Sp Atk to crazy high before using Night Daze as my main STAB or use Focus Blast/ Flamethrower for type coverage.

Cobotanium the Cobalion
Holding Air Balloon
Ability: Justified
Moves: Nature: Adamant
Attack EV: 252
Speed EV: 240
HP EV: 18

Pretty Standard really

Big Blade the Gallade
Holding Leftovers
Ability: Steadfast
Moves: Nature: Impish
Attack EV: 252
Defense EV: 124
Speed EV: 124
HP EV: 6

My Bulky Gallade, it worked well last gen, and this gen Drain Punch only got stronger.

Big Rose the Roserade
Holding Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Moves: Nature: Calm
Special Attack EV: 6
Special Defense EV: 252
HP EV: 252

Aroma Therapy heals my team, Rest heals Roserade, Natural Cure heals Roserade. Sleep Powder puts opponents to sleep. Energy Ball is STAB. Simples

Is this a favorites team? If so I can dig it, you've done really well if you're restricting yourself to favorites. The only thing I'd have to say is that Close Combat is probably more worthwhile on Cobalion. Also, Deo-D wants max HP. It already has the Defenses, so staying alive is top priority, and it does that best when it has more HP.

Excadrill X-Scissor vs 14 HP/ 248 Defense Deoxys: 49-58%

Excadrill X-Scissor vs. 252 HP/ 6 Defense Deoxys: 39-46%

As is apparent, HP should be maximized first and foremost. From there, you can either split the defenses, or focus primarily on one side of the spectrum to make Deo-D bulky on.

If this isn't a favorites team, I can give better advice as to how it can be improved; for one example, your Cobalion is completely outclassed by Terrakion who is stronger and gets STAB on Stone Edge.
