I’ve put together a group that I think has good synergy, but I want to make sure it’s well-rounded in terms of type coverage. The Pokémon Type Calculator shows that my team has solid defense but can struggle against some types. Here is a summary of my group.
Talonflame @ Leftovers
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
Brave Bird
Flare Blitz
Roost
U-turn
Talonflame is my go-to for dealing with threats weak to Flying and Fire. Gale Wings provides priority, making it useful for taking out faster opponents.
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SpD
Relaxed Nature
Stealth Rock
Gyro Ball
Leech Seed
Protect
Ferrothorn offers great utility with Stealth Rock and Leech Seed. It’s meant to handle Water, Fairy, and Rock types, and its typing provides a good defense against many threats.
Rotom-Wash @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 44 SpA / 212 Spe
Modest Nature
Hydro Pump
Thunderbolt
Will-O-Wisp
Volt Switch
Rotom-Wash provides coverage against Flying and Water types, and its ability to burn opponents can help in dealing with physical attackers.
Garchomp @ Life Orb
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
Earthquake
Dragon Claw
Swords Dance
Fire Fang
Garchomp serves as a physical attacker and can take on Dragon, Ground, and Steel types effectively.
Blissey @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
Seismic Toss
Soft-Boiled
Toxic
Heal Bell
Blissey is my special wall, meant to handle special attackers and provide team support with Toxic and Heal Bell.
Using the pokemon type calculator, I have improved my team's coverage to address its weaknesses more effectively. Now, I’m excited to continue to refine my system by finding specific pokemon types or variations that can further increase my team’s performance. I’m looking forward to continuing to refine my lineup to deal with different types of threats and shine in battles!
