  • You have a large Fire and Ground-type weakness! To fix this, I suggest adding a Water-type Pokemon, since you'll also need it to Surf anyway. I would replace Darmanitan with Swanna, Seismitoad, or Jellicent. It really depends on what you want. I could help you more if you could provide the movesets! Don't really want to be doing ALL the work for you ;) Plus, your playstyle might be different than mine.

    Why would you replace your Lucario with a Sawk? You already have Emboar as your Fighting type. If anything, you should replace Lucario with a Drapion.

    Also, since you already have a Krookodile, you should replace your Excadrill with something like Roserade or Tangrowth. You need more Special attackers, anyway.

    Emboar fire/fighting
    Drapion Bug/Poison
    Leavanny grass/bug
    Krookodile dark/ground
    Golduck Water
    Skarmoy Steel/flying
    ???????
    Is this a GOOD team?

    your better off ditching drapion as Leavanny is a faster bug pokemon which can learn poison type moves like poison jab and toxic, also your team is somewhat very weak to ground types which is also covered by leavanny's grass type moves.

    If you get rid of Golduck for Palitoad (water/ground) you remove it's weakness from electric and then replace your unneeded Drapion with Gothita (Black exclusive) or Duosion (White exclusive) which are both psychic types, which their weakness to dark can be covered by fighting types like your emboar.

    EDIT: MOVESETS;

    Emboar;
    Heat Crash or Flamethrower
    Earthquake or Bulldoze
    Stone Edge or Wild Charge
    Brick Break or Focus Blast

    Gothita
    Psychic
    Focus Blast
    Thunder bolt
    shadow ball

    Leavanny
    Poison Jab
    Leaf Blade
    X-scissor
    False Wipe (for the legendaries)

    Krookodile
    Crunch
    Earthquake
    Stone Edge
    Outrage
    (try and get a bunch of lum berries and let Krookodile hold them)

    Palitoad
    Hydro Pump
    Poison Jab
    Earthquake
    Drain Punch

    Skarmory
    Fly
    Steel Wing
    Air Slash
    Rock Slide

    Emboar
    Drapion
    Leavanny
    Krookodile
    Golduck
    Skarmoy

    Personally -I think with this team you have only two pokemon strong against fire while 3 are at a huge disadvantage. I would suggest replacing Golduck for Seismitoad also, flying pokemon can harm you badly so you can replace one of the two bug pokemon or get a strong moveset.
    Analysis
    Against Fire you are- Weak
    Against Grass- Very strong
    Water- Medium range(but with good moveset, strong)
    Dragon- kind of weak
    Flying- Weak
    You can overpower Ice with Emboar but Leavanny and Krookadile would suffer. Skarmory would be okay

    Hope this helps sorry i only included main types

    Drapion is actually a Poison/Dark type, so you can keep that. If you're going to replace anything, you should replace Leavanny. I already suggested Tangrowth and Roserade as good replacements.

  • You also don't need super effective moves to beat dragons. Golduck can learn Ice Beam for all dragons and Surf for Aggron and Archeops; Emboar can learn fighting moves for Hydreigon, Aggron, and Lapras; Leavanny can learn Leaf Blade to take care of Lapras; etc, etc. I think you will be just fine with the team you have now, if you like it :)
