How should I build a team around my Lanturn? Hes my all time favorite pokemon and I have him perfectly Iv breed and ev trained with a good move set. Hes a tank for me with good type coverage. What should i put around him?
Oh, Lanturn’s one of my favorite electric types! Water/Electric is great and Lanturn is a natural tank ; v ;
I think good choices could be levitate/flying types for a safe switching (in case you gave it Volt Switch), so I’d advise Crobat, Golbat or even others such as Mantine (though careful about the type redundancy), Flygon and Claydol.
Now I advise adding a Grass as well as a Fire OR Dragon pokemon to the set, which is why I advised Flygon. A fantastic choice could also be a sweeping Noivern. For added coverage, I’d get a psychic and a dark pokemon.
So, cutting to the chase, this is the team that could accompany a tank Lanturn (again, this is my opinion and I’ll give added possibilities after the team build)
Noivern - Special Sweeper
Allows a safe switching against any ground type if your Lanturn’s facing one.Â
Timid (EVs in Speed and SpAtk) / Infiltrator / Life Orb
Hurricane OR Boomburst / Flamethrower / Water Pulse / Dragon Pulse
Can be used as a Lead or not, it’s up to you.
Adamant (EVs in Def, 126 in HP and SpDef) / Lightning Rod / Eviolite
Swords Dance / Earthquake / Stone Edge OR Rock Slide / Stealth Rock
Leafeon - Mixed Attacking Wall
This is a personal Leafeon set that I’m experimenting.Â
Impish (EVs in Def, 126 in Atk and 126 in Speed) / any nature / Lum Berry
Synthesis / Leaf Blade / X-Scissors / Swords Dance
Camerupt - Special Sweeper
Modest (EVs in SpAtk, 126 in HP and Speed) / Solid Rock / Cameruptite
Earth Power / Flamethrower / Toxic / Stone Edge
Durant - Physical Sweeper
Jolly or Adamant (EVs in Atk and Speed) / Hustle / Choice BandÂ
X-Scissor / Superpower / Iron Head / Crunch
Added possibilities for those who prefer heavier damage could be
Salamence (Mega) - Jolly w/D-Dance - Outrage - Earthquake - Return
Bisharp - Jolly/Adamant W/Knock Off - Iron Head - Pursuit - Psycho Cut
Granbull - Adamant w/Play Rough - Ice Punch - Fire Punch - Earthquake
Toxicroak - Jolly w/Drain Punch - Sucker Punch - Knock Off and Gunk Shot (Or instead of Knock Off, Swords Dance)
Abomasnow (Mega) - Adamant (NO SPEED INVESTMENT) w/Seed Bomb - Ice Shard - Avalanche - Earthquake OR Brick Break
