However, there are still a few things that you need to iron out before the raters here can give you the best advice they can. For one thing, RMTs are best when constructed in this format. Example: you're Weavile Weavile @ Nevermeltice Pressure 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 4 HP Hardy - Slash - Beat Up - Metal Claw - Ice Shard **A description of how Weavile works on on your team and why. Now, I made this with the information you provided, granted I'm assuming that you're running a Weavile with 252 in Attack and Speed. If you are not, well than, that's what RMTs are for! :D Anyway, I'll just work with Weavile for now. I recommend: Weavile @ Choice Band / Expert Belt / Focus Sash Pressure 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 4 HP Jolly [+Speed; -Sp.Attack] - Brick Break - Night Slash / Pursuit - Ice Punch - Taunt / Ice Shard / Swords Dance Nevermeltice and items of this kind, are not a very good as it does not give you the same benefits as the aforementioned items from the set. Choice Band gives you the best boost, easily, but you will not want to run Swords Dance if you use it. The Expert Belt gives you the 1.2x boost to super effective attacks, so that's a good option. And the Focus Sash can be good to help with Weavile's fragility. Hardy is one natures that does not offer a boost in any stat. This is not good. In Weavile's case, it has a very low Special Attack and a very high Speed. It's safe to say that you can take the 10% hit in Special Attack simply because you won't teach it any Special Attacks, and in return, give the 10% boost to Speed, because it's Weavile's most valued stat. As for your moves, Slash is a good attack, but Night Slash does the same damage and has the same chance of getting a critical hit, plus it has the added bonus of STAB. Making it the superior choice. You'll also see that Pursuit is mentioned in this set. Pursuit is an excellent move for Weavile, and deserved mentioning. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but Beat-Up causes more damage based on how many Pokemon are in your party. So the potential power of that attack stops at 60. Brick Break is another attack that you may find more useful than your original choice. It's a great way to deal with Steel types and other Dar types that Weavile has trouble dealing with. It also has the added effect of destroying screens (Light Screen and Reflect). Ice Shard is a good attack, as you can see, it's also on the set I suggested. However, based on Weavile's Speed, you're guaranteed to be faster than the majority of your opponents. Therefore, STAB Ice Punch (75 base power) is going to do more damage, just without the priority. The bottom slot can be filled with any move you want, really. But I suggested Taunt, Ice Shard, and Swords Dance. Not many opponents will try to set up around Weavile, (Except Skarmory) but if they do, Taunt will solve that. Thing is, it may be hard to pull off. Ice Shard, priority attack, not much to mention there as I'm sure you're aware of the benefits. And finally, Sword Dance has amazing sweeping potential. However, Weavile is pretty frail so you might find this difficult to execute as well. Anyway, if you could edit your team to the required format, that would be great. Otherwise, I'll post something later on for the rest of your team. :) Best of luck! Hope this helped!

You should use Metagross if you can - Metang isn't powerful enough nor useful enough to do anything. :( Plus, tanking hits means nothing if you can't do anything back - you'll just take abuse with Metang until your opponent is strong enough to take it down, and then you'll get swept. You should try a more offensive build of Metagross if you can. C/Ping from Smogon because I am lazy. :)  name: Stealth Rock move 1: Stealth Rock move 2: Meteor Mash move 3: Hammer Arm move 4: Bullet Punch nature: Adamant item: Leftovers / Air Balloon / Occa Berry evs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe

Metagross does learn Stealth Rock. I don't quite understand why you prefer this set over the one Vrai suggested. I mean, you don't have a Pokemon that sets up entry hazards, so why not Metagross? Plus, Meteor Mash is Metagross's best STAB attack. You pretty much have to use it. (Obviously, you don't have to do anything, but it is highly suggested.) I really think you should consider using the set Vrai gave you. Quote:
Quote:
Emboar @ Life Orb / Leftovers / Choice Band (w/o Bulk Up) Blaze 252 HP / 252 Attack / 4 Speed Adamant [+Attack; -Sp.Attack] - Flare Blitz - Hammer Arm - Stone Edge - Bulk Up / Wild Charge / Earthquake / Assurance This way, you've got STAB Flare Blitz, which is crazy strong (with Reckless it would be insane) and will deal recoil damage to activate Blaze. The Life Orb will do that too. Hammer Arm is another STAB great attack at the cost of some Speed, which with Emboar, doesn't really matter. Stone Edge will deal with Salamence and Pokemon that resist Fire. Now, Bulk Up speaks for itself, boosting your Attack and Defense (not recommended with the Choice Band). Wild Charge with deal recoil damage and also help activate Blaze. Earthquake is universally awesome and should always be considered if you have the option. And finally, Assurance will really hurt any switch-ins Emboar will face. Quote:
Blissey @ Leftoves Natural Cure 252 Defense / 176 Sp.Defense / 80 HP Bold [+Defense; -Attack] - Aromatherapy - Softboiled - Seismic Toss - Flamethrower / Ice Beam / Thunder Wave Aromatherapy will cure your team, however, it may be hard to predict when to use it. Softboiled will heal you. Seismic Toss is Blissey's only real way of dealing damage (and not being Taunt bait if you go with TWave). Ice Beam, Thunder Wave, and Flamethrower speak for themselves. or Blissey @ Leftovers Natural Cure 252 Defense / 172 Sp.Defense / 84 HP Bold [+Defense; -Attack] - Wish - Protect - Toxic - Flamethrower Wish heals you and Toxic hurts them. The thing that pulls it all together is Protect, which stalls for the turn after you use Wish and stalls so Toxic can do more damage. Flamethrower is recommended over Ice Beam because it had better coverage with Toxic. Simple. One thing that you may have noticed is the small change in the distribution of EVs. This is just so you get the most out of Wish.

Weavile: here. I don't play the games so I'm unsure exactly how to go about that. ;( You'll have to transfer it too, iirc.
