Ok guys, a slot for gym leader opened up over at the Rayquaza forums and I am going for it. Eight people are applying and a tourney is been done for it. The rules are 6on6 single battles with no ubers, and all of your guys must be at least part of the type that your gym will be. Each participant picks one of the given types to participate with and if they win, there gym will be that type.
So my competition will be normal, ghost, psychic, steel, water, ice and grass. I myself will be using water, so the idea of this thread is I want you guys to help me make a kick-ass water team so I can become leader.
So the main thing is I want to mix it up, have as many different types in there while also having water. Here's what I've got so far:
Cloyster - Relaxed @ Sitrus Berry
252HP/252SpD/6A
Toxic Spikes/Spikes
Rapid Spin
Ice Shard
Explosion
Gastrodon - Calm @ Leftovers
252HP/252SpD/6SpA
Recover
Stockpile
Earthpower
Surf
Starmie - Timid @ Life Orb
252SpA/252Speed/6HP
Thunderbolt
Surf
Recover
Psychic
Feraligatr - Adamant @ Choice Scarf
252A/252Speed/6HP
Waterfall
Superpower
Crunch
Earthquake/Aerial Ace
Ludicolo - Calm @ Shell Bell
204HP/180SpA/124SpD
Rain Dance
Ice Beam
Energy Ball
Leech Seed
Kingler - Jolly @ Focus Sash
252A/252Speed/6D
Crabhammer
Flail
Swords Dance
X-Scissor
I considered Toxic on Gastrodon over Earthpower, but figured mostly thinks will already be poisoned by poison spikes.
Feraligatr is the MVP here, having the set to be able to easily take down 5 of the 7 other types, 6 if I take Aerial Ace over Earthquake, though that will leave only one option against Steels and that option lowers defenses and attack.
Starmie is there to deal with other waters.
Ludicolo provides rain support while being annoying and being able to handle grass types well.
Kingler rounds out the set with some good stats and nifty moves. X-scissor helps against grass types and the Ludicolo I was concerned about.
