Hi there! I built my first somewhat cohesive NU team and had moderate success with it. Thought I'd share it here.
Bruxish @ Choice Band
Ability: Strong Jaw
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flip Turn
- Psychic Fangs
- Wave Crash
- Ice Fang
--------------------------------
Bruxish is one of my favourite pokémon, so it was a no-brainer for my first slot. I use it as a banded sweeper/wallbreaker. Psychic Fangs and Wave Crash as STAB damage dealing options. Ice Fang as a surprise coverage and lure move. It also has Flip Turn to act as a pivot in certain situations. I'm not too sold on Tera dark though. What should I change this to?
Toxicroak @ Life Orb
Ability: Dry Skin
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Focus Blast
- Sludge Bomb
- Dark Pulse
--------------------------------
Since Toxicroak resists all types Bruxish is weak to, I added it second. Dry skin is a nice added immunity. I went for a special build because Bruxish is already a physical sweeper. Life orb for added sweeping potential, and dark pulse to cover for Bruxish's ghost weakness. All by all a good mon that complements Bruxish very well.
Gligar @ Eviolite
Ability: Immunity
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 Spe
Impish Nature
- Spikes
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- U-turn
--------------------------------
Since I already added two sweepers I went for a more defensive mon for my third slot. Gligar was the ideal candidate for this. He adds an electric immunity to pivot in Bruxish safely, and can also set up spikes for Toxicroak. I added Knock Off and U-Turn for utility, and earthquake for some great damage. Tera water is a great defensive tera type, so i added that.
Chansey @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Soft-Boiled
- Seismic Toss
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Wave
--------------------------------
Next, I wanted to add some specialized walls. For SpDef, I added Chansey. I honestly don't understand why this mon is only PU. It can easily set up rocks while also being able to spread status and heal with Soft-Boiled. Seismic toss to deal damage, and Tera ghost to block spinners in a pinch.
Avalugg @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Sturdy
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Body Press
- Avalanche
- Recover
- Rapid Spin
--------------------------------
I still needed a spinner, so I added Avalugg. He's also my main physical wall. Dealing damage with Body Press while being able to heal off any damage dealt back with recover seemed very strong to me. I added avalanche for a nice STAB option.
Jolteon @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Volt Absorb
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Thunderbolt
- Tera Blast
- Volt Switch
--------------------------------
I still needed a way to check my opponent's fast mons, so I added Jolteon. It just so happens I also have quite a pet peeve for it :). Volt absorb adds another nice immunity for my Bruxish. I made him a calm mind sweeper, adding Thunderbolt and Fairy Tera Blast to check dragon types. Lastly, I added Volt Switch to pivot into a defensive wall or another sweeper to set up.
--------------------------------
All in all, I believe this is a quite balanced team that can wall quite a bit of threats and deal some good damage in return. Chansey and Gligar are able to set up hazards, while Avalugg can remove my opponent's. Then, I pivot into my sweepers to seal the deal.
What do you guys think?
