So /vp/ I'm trying to build a team for LC (because why not) and I'm for sure having Mime Jr. on my team. I've been trying to build a team for a few hours now but I always end up with too many weaknesses so I'm growing tire and just want some help. I'm using my Mime Jr. as a bulky special sweeper so I don't really need another. So please /vp/ I need your help!

What sort of set is Mime Jr using?

If you've played LC, you'll notice that most teams are the same (or very similar). You'll need surefire counters for Mienfoo, Murkrow, Misdreavus, Hippopotas and Drilbur.

I personally like using Focus Sash Abra and Choice Scarf Archen.

Building on this, Choice scarf snover shits all over sand.

If you're using a slower pokemon like Mime Jr you'll want probably a Chinchou to spread paralysis

It's moveset is Calm Mind, Hypnosis, Light Screen, and Dream Eater

Alright you're going to want to change that to probably a nasty plot set with psychic, hidden power fighting and probably shadow ball. It will allow you to hit everything incredibly hard.

Alright this seems damn good but I need to give it a different item because light clay is now rendered useless so any tips for that?

Not bad, but hypnosis is far too unreliable to be you're only method of attacking. Not to mention that the sleep cause only allows one Pokemon to be put to sleep, so if they switch out Mime Jr. is useless.

Either go with >>13077258 or try out Calm Mind, Psychic/Psyshock, Reflect and Shadow Ball/Hidden Power Fighting.

Eviolite if you want to be bulky, life orb if you want lots of power.

Also because of the level scaling in little cup you don't need to put in all 252 EVs to reach your maximum in a stat.

Life Orb if you're going all out offensive.

This is a decent set but it is outclassed completely by Abra. If you want to use Mime Jr.'s bulk a bit more, you could try dual screens.

Abra doesn't have access to nasty plot, turning Jr into a powerhouse Abra could never be

I slapped an Eviolite on it and changed its set to Calm Mind, Psychic, Reflect, and Shadow Ball

Mite b cool, you're walled by dark types though. Seems like you're trying to have him do too much at once. Remember you have 5 other pokemon. Pick a role for Jr, and let the other 5 do what he can't

Yeah that's my problem right now is finding a team with balanced weaknesses and resistances and somewhat balances stats

Jr's low base HP and slow speed means that he won't be able to stay in for long. Abra's great Special Attack, Speed and Magic Guard means that he can hit hard with a Life Orb and revenge kill most things when holding a Focus Sash.

That's what I'm using but I just always come up with too many weaknesses and not enough resistances. That's originally why I made this thread is to get suggestions of other team members. And I did decide to give Jr a Life orb instead and give him nasty plot, psychic, hidden power fighting, and shadow ball
