RMT: "Not a Sun Team" Team

[dig]

@ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Aromatherapy
- Seismic Toss
- Soft-Boiled
- Toxic

Standard Chansey, it Chansey's well. Probably don't need to change a thing here.

@ Grassium Z
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Magma Storm
- Solar Beam
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Soaks up fire attacks against Tangrowth, kills Magnezones, basically it's a go-to switch in for may problemons.

@ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Rash Nature
- Knock Off
- Giga Drain
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Fire]

Bulky mixed attacker, often get's a surprise kill.

@ Thick Club
Ability: Lightning Rod
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Thunder Punch
- Fire Punch
- Shadow Bone
- Bonemerang

Finishes off a bunch of common switch ins, as well as a being slow as hell late game sweeper.

@ Choice Band
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake
- Icicle Spear
- Knock Off

Star of the team. Hit's like a mammoth ha. Kills pretty much anything my rest of team worries about, but choice band seems like an iffy choice. More power, or more versatility, is my problem with him.

@ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Solar Beam
- Overheat
- Defog
- Roost

Sets Sun, tries to get rid off entry hazards, boosted Overheated kills a decent chunk of Pokemon, solar beam for water types, roost for the odd heal. Frankly it's paper thin and I rarely get an effective defog since the cost of switching in on stealth rock is minus 50% HP.

------

So, what should I try to make this team a bit more successful?

five-minute impressions:

as a note, you want to have something else with defog other than charizard-y. the point of having defog on this sort of team is so zard can come in and not have to worry about rocks; making it your designated defogger means you pretty much have to hard predict the rocks the turn they come out and immediately defog them away, which is really inefficient and exploitable. your defogger comes in at half health and it's also slow and its main stab lowers its satk, so it's also going to be forced to switch a lot. it's going to be really hard to win like that. chansey/mamo locked into moves will also give your opponent free rocks.

here are some things you could try out:

* change the zard set: fire blast/focus blast/roost/solar beam, timid -- 252 speed/252 satk/4 sdef (more speed to help you outpace random stuff in the tier--important since your team's extremely slow for the meta and things like choiced hoopa unbound 6-0 you at the moment)
* stealth rock > hp ice on heatran (stealth rock is really essential)
* tapu fini over marowak: moonblast/taunt/defog/nature's madness (you lose offense, but you get a better defogger and a way of softening up walls for mamoswine)
* consider a wish set on chansey (could be good because fini can't recover, but it's on you ultimately)
* change tangrowth's EV spread (max hp / max spdef and sassy > rash)

might actually try the team out later and report back with anything else. seems interesting
