Lickilicky (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Oblivious
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Knock Off
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch
- Gyro Ball
Lickilicky is who I wanted to build an NU team around, and his move pool is pretty good! I originally was running a different Leftovers set, but I took off Heal Bell and replaced it with Gyro Ball to help me against poison types such as Weezing, as well as with Fairy and Dragon types. Fire Punch gives me some fire coverage considering I don't have a Fire type on my team.
Mr. Mime (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Filter
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psyshock
- Dazzling Gleam
- Focus Blast
- Baton Pass
Mr Mime was the second Pokemon I added to my NU team. Psychic/Fairy is such a neat dual typing and gives me a great Fighting switch in. He's also a good Specs user and I gave him Focus Blast in case of a slow Dark switch in.
Samurott @ Life Orb
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 SpA
Rash Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Ice Beam
- Megahorn
- Hydro Pump
Samurott helps me to have Water coverage without using a dual Rock/Water type, thus saving me from an additional unwanted Ground weakness. I have Megahorn for Malamar and Hydro Pump with Life Orb packs a huge punch especially for the tier. Ice Beam is a great coverage move and Aqua Jet gives me priority.
Carnivine @ Watmel Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Sleep Powder
- Power Whip
- Knock Off
- Natural Gift
Carnivine is a great Grass choice for a non-sun team I think. I'm using a set I found online, Natural Gift is an interesting choice and Levitate helps me avoid Ground problems.
Murkrow (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Foul Play
- Brave Bird
- Sucker Punch
- Thunder Wave
Originally I chose Murkrow to be my Defogger but I changed my team after quickly figuring out that Prankster T-Wave is so good. This meant I had to pick out a Defog or Rapid Spin user who isn't weak to Ground.
Sandslash @ Earth Plate
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
Sandslash is a great EQ user and his access to both Rocks and Rapid Spin makes him the perfect addition to my team. He also helps with Fire types who might bother Carnivine and Mr Mime.
Let me know what you think and how I can improve this team!
