[Gen 5] My RU Team

[twistedspoon]

So I decided to fix up my RU team a bit.
This is the one I use in RU, and it's great, it could also hold its own in other tiers such as UU and OU. c:

Ninjask (M) @ Choice Band
Nature: Speed Boost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Night Slash
- X-Scissor
- U-turn
- Aerial Ace

Typically Ninjask is used as a Baton Passer, but I decided to experiment with him and use him as my attacking lead. People tend to overlook Ninjask's exceptional attack stat due to its speed.
This one devastates leads, 'specially ones with Taunt. Took advantage of the attack stat and choice banded it. Outspeeds nearly everyhting with its high speed stat and ability.
Night Slash for high crit and STAB.
X-Scissor for a decent STAB move.
U-Turn to get out of there.
Aerial Ace for STAB that never misses. <3

Galvantula (F) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Compoundeyes
EVs: 76 SAtk / 180 SDef / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Bug Buzz
- Energy Ball
- Volt Switch

Galvantula has some great Sp. Atk.

Thunderbolt is great for STAB. If it doesn't take 'em out, it can paralyze them.
Bug Buzz for a decent STAB attack.
Energy Ball for some type coverage. Just to be safe.
Volt Switch in case I needa get outta there.

Flareon (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 132 HP / 124 Def / 252 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Protect
- Flamethrower
- Wish
- Heal Bell
Basically a Special Bulky supporter. Hands out Wishes to itself or the team. Heal Bell to get rid of those annoying status problems.

Flamethrower so Taunt doesn't shut me down completely.

Mandibuzz (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Big Pecks
EVs: 100 HP / 220 Def / 188 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Roost
- Toxic
- Taunt
- Brave Bird
Pretty good wall if I say so myself.
Brave Bird 'cause it's a great move plus STAB.
Roost and Toxic for Toxic stalling. Taunt to prevent people.

Swellow (M) @ Flame Orb
Trait: Guts
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Lonely Nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Protect
- Facade
- Brave Bird
- U-turn
This is really one of the only Pokes that doesn't have a custom set. I love this one, so I'd rather not change it.

Tangela (F) @ Eviolite
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 120 HP / 136 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Attract
- Substitute
- Leech Seed
- Giga Drain

This Poke right here is a great SubSeeder.
People on PO tend to not change the gender of their Pokemon, so I took that into account and added Attract.
After Attract, go ahead and Substitute. It'll survive fire type attacks with some decent sized health thanks to its bulkiness and EV spread.
As soon as Sub is set up, I just go ahead and fire Giga Drain. Then spam Leech Seed and Attract when needed.
