Kisame (Carvanha) @ Life Orb
Ability: Speed Boost
Level: 5
EVs: 196 Atk / 36 SpD / 236 Spe
Adamant Nature
IVs: 9 HP
- Flip Turn
- Crunch
- Psychic Fangs
- Protect
I decided to build a team around Carvanha. Speed boost/Protect is an amazing combo and it hits like a truck. Psychic Fangs has a small chance of killing an eviolite Mienfoo at full health. Flip turn helps to keep momentum and Crunch hits almost everything very hard. Also serves as a psychic immune. Great late game cleaner if its checks have been killed or weakened.

Grookey is the main Carvanha counter. So I decided to add a Larvestra which is one of the best Grookey counters. Larv not only resists Grookey's attacks but also threatens to burn it. Also does great against Mienfoo as it resists HJK and can also burn it. Stab U Turn is great as it helps to keep momentum while dealing good damage.

Ability: Regenerator
Level: 5

- High Jump Kick
- U-turn
- Knock Off
- Fake Out
Standard Mienfoo set. Not much to say about it.
Naruto (Grookey) @ Life Orb
Ability: Grassy Surge
Level: 5
EVs: 236 Atk / 36 Def / 236 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Grassy Glide
- Knock Off
- Drain Punch
- U-turn
As Larvestra will often U Turn into a water type, I decided to add a Grookey. Also acts as a great revenge killer. Drain Punch helps to recover some health and KO Pawniard. Knock Off is always useful and U Turn helps to keep momentum.
Sai (Natu) @ Eviolite
Ability: Magic Bounce
Level: 5
EVs: 36 HP / 236 Def / 36 SpA / 196 Spe
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Heat Wave
- Roost
- U-turn
As Larvestra is very weak to rocks, I decided to add a magic bouncer. Also acts as a spore absorber. Heat wave is great against steel and grass types and I love U Turn which you must have realized by now.
Tsunade (Staryu) @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
Level: 5
EVs: 116 HP / 156 Def / 236 Spe
Timid Nature
- Scald
- Thunderbolt
- Rapid Spin
- Recover
Natu can't always prevent rocks. And if they are up, Larvestra which is my main Mienfoo and Grookey becomes very difficult to use. Also I was weak to fire types.
So i decided to add a defensive Staryu. Thunderbolt helps against opposing water types
PS: I took inspiration from MagikarpIsAg to build this team. I saw him using a Carvanha/Larvestra team and it felt very interesting. So i decided to build a team around it.
