formerly Jac
Hello once again~ As you can see, my name is Jac and im here to showcase a team i've been running since XY has started.
I was excited for Fairy-type once it was announced and so after beating ingame, i decidied to try out these fairies in the meta. Unforetunately not a lot of them are good perse since Steel is a common attacking type and now everyone wants to run Steel moves just to get the drop on them. Plus Fairies arent exactly physically bulky. Most of them at least.
So without further ado~ here's my team!
TEAMBUILDING
First i started with Togekiss because why not. This beauty is my favorite pokemon and i couldnt make a team of fairies without it~
Next i needed a cleric and `most fairies are clerics but who it use... Originally i went with Florges but after it dying so often and not killing much in return, i decided to go with Sylveon, who hits harder thanks to Pixilate.
Now i needed physical attackers. Who else but to go to Mawile and Azumarril?
2 slots left adn :O
Gardevoir is Fairy now ;w; lgi
and then i needed hazards and i didnt have many options. . . after trying Carbink and realizing it doesnt have much after SR, i went for Klefki.
AT A GLANCE
IN DEPTH LOOK AT MY TEAM
You've met with a terrible fate have you?
Sweet Dreams~ (Togekiss) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Calm Nature
- Roost
- Nasty Plot
- Air Slash
- Thunder Wave
The flinchhax queen returns this gen with a new typing~ I opted for Defensive Nasty Kiss because i believe it's the best set it can run. Although it's destroyed by new hard hitting special attackers like LO Gengar and Flash Cannon on Heatran, she can still stand up and paralyze and flinch to death. I tried running Bold 252/252+ but that doesnt mitigate damage well so i just say: fuck it lets go special.
You know what we say in da club?
FAYBAYBAY (Sylveon) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pixilate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 Def
Bold Nature
- Wish
- Heal Bell
- Hyper Voice
- Hidden Power [Ground]
I've found that Phys Def Sylv gets around a few more hits than Phys Def Florges and im okay with that. Self explanitory cleric set with Wish / Heal Bell because my team hates status and likes big wishes. Now for attacking moves, Hyper Voice is trucky af and will maim anything that doesnt resist or that doesnt have good sdef. HP Ground is strictly here for Heatran and other Fire types. I might opt for a different Hidden Power but Ground has served it's purpose for a while now.
OM NOM NOM
Chewy (Mawile) (F) @ Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Iron Head
- Fire Fang
- Sucker Punch
- Play Rough
What a fucking boon you got this gen Mawile!
>new fairy typing that doesnt overly fuck it over
>new moves
>mevo that gives it HUGE POWER and unrivaled damage
I just had to use you! Usually Mawile comes in on a threat that doesnt like to lose atk and then proceed to mevo safely and smash with one of it's devestating moves. Iron Head + Play Rough are STABS and then Fire Fang is for Steels who think they get to come in for free, and Sucker Punch is prio because im slow af.
I've never seen someone fall so gracefully~
Almagest (Gardevoir) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Trace
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Psyshock
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Trick
- Moonblast
As you can tell i clearly love HP Ground. This is my massive answer to Heatran. Scarf Garde doesnt hit as hard but sometimes i need a RK and he usually follows through. Obligitory Psyshock becuase fuck blobs and Moonblast to say fuck you to Spcl threats because based drops are based. Trick is my selling point to fuck over defensive Heatrans who rely on lefties and only carry Lava Plume. Silly bitch you cannot harm me~ Also Trace get some other lucky abilities i can use against my opponent.
Oh WATER you waiting for?!
Mizuchu (Azumarill) (F) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Huge Power
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Waterfall
- Superpower
- Play Rough
- Aqua Jet
I know i know... You're prolly thinking:
>CB has more power
>LO has more power
I want power without being locked in a move AND without losing HP. Asking for too much you think? I dont think so. I still hit pretty hard. And i can sorta bluff CB on those who dont know the power difference. So this set is Waterfall/Play Rough for big damage. Superpower is more or less for Steels and Aqua Jet is sick priority.
The most bullshit pokemon in OU History AKA BooBooKeys
Booboo Keys (Klefki) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 Atk
Impish Nature
- Spikes
- Thunder Wave
- Foul Play
- Substitute
This pokemon singlehandedly will make a mockery out of my opponent if left alone. The set itself is a little odd. I used to run swagplay + spikes but taking out Swagger for Substitute makes it easier for me to set up. I can set up on Galvantula without fault unless it spams Thunder (which is smart cuz leaving my sub up i can still get 3 layers) and i can set up on most non ground SR leads. most EQs are 2hkos so at least i can get one/two spikes up. Also it's quite good at it's job at hindering my opponents. I do wanna find a better attacking move since Foul Play is only good against physically attacking pokemon.
Here's an import (i like em shiny so soz)
If there's something i can do to change it, let me know? I've been quite sucessful but i know my real faults is that i cant deal with other hazards unless i give Togekiss Defog and i would rather not do that. IT is meant to be a monotype team so if you wanna make a change, be mindful of that? Otherwise have at it!
