I think the same about that but I realize that Staraptor will always attack first over an rock or steel type, so you can use U-turn to get a free switch so it's not a big deal

Lucas González Fiorillo U-turn, even with all the boosts does very little damage to those Pokémon. It also gives it life orb recoil from switching out, when it could just attack with close combat and be done with it.

[@joeham6547]

TheKingtutt01 hmm yea I see lopunny as a decent mega but chatot I believe I’d just subpar to be used competitively but I guess if you like it it’s cool. Also all of your Pokémon are physical attackers (I don’t know if zangoose is tho) so there’s not much diversity in that field. I hope you don’t and this as an offense, just feedback for a fellow human 😉

[@TheKingtutt01]

@@joeham6547 no worries, I personally just like using these pokemon. I'm not a competitive battler so i just use pokemon for play through. Chatot is useless in the eliot 4 when I played with it but it's adorable. Keep being awesome my friend :)

How did you not include a Skill Link Cinccino? I've made a Normal-Type team before, and that thing is absolutely destructive to anything it faces. Another one that people overlook simply because of its ability is Slaking. I will say, though, that having a Slaking on your team can be devastating to the opponent. A maxed out attack stat, using Retaliate along with a Normal Gem? Not much is going to survive that.

Honestly, if I were a gym leader, Normal-types would be one of if not my primary type.

[@dtexdarkus]

Give porygon-z normalium z, make thunderbolt its first move, then replace tri attack with conversion. Now you have a terrifying sweep machine which gets an omniboost after just one turn which fixes its speed tier and gives it a ridiculous potent electric stab and boltbeam coverage, as well as making its lackluster speed ridiculously good.

[@FireheartSamurai]

I thought Staraptor could use Close Combat on its moveset. Since it could use that move to handle a lot of rock & ice type Pokémon.

[@dtexdarkus]

Give staraptor close combat. That’s one of the main reasons it’s better than other regional bird. Replace u-turn with close combat. Although pivoting around is nice, hitting steel and rock types super effectively is so amazing for a Pokémon like this. It makes it an even better wall breaker. U-turn combined with life orb means that it takes 10% of its health away every time it switches, meaning that it’s often better to hard switch if you can anyway.

[@jeffhirsh5722]

I love all the best teams but i really wish every team had a mega and "a Z-Move user" because all of these teams are from gen 7 and its beneficial to have a mega and a Z-move user. you could've easily given Snorlax the Snorlium-Z so he wouldn't be locked in to one move

Normal types get a bad rap yet tend to be tanks and some of the most sought after Pokemon. Miltank, Snorlax, Blissey, Slaking, Kangaskhan, etc. All normal yet some of the best pokemon offensively or defensively

So this might be a dumb question but how exactly are you able to choose which EVs you put into these Pokémon. I’m not too experienced when it comes to EV training.

Any pokemon you KO and gain experience off of yields EVs depending on the pokemon. Fighting a bunch of Ponyta will get you speed for example.
