Claydol isn't that fast and is quite vulnerae to Taunt. I'd change it to a faster lead like Ambipom or Persian to set up Sunny Day. They can also give you quick sun when you need it.

Nothing wrong here. Maybe replace Toxic with Sunny Day so Arcanine can continually restore it's health by 2/3.

I'd use an Exxegutor as it's more powerful and I think a bit faster. Not sure though.

I'd switch out Leaf Storm to Rock Slide so that Moltres can't come in and start abusing your sun.

Good Pokemon. Can't see any flaws with it.

I've found that Shuckle does so much better in Sandstorm. Maybe throw in a supporting Rhyperior in place, but if Shuckle works for you, then ok.

Comments in Blue. Hope I helped! :)

You have nothing that can really set up and sweep that well. I'd change Tangrowth's EVs to 252 Atk / 212 Spe / 40 HP and use Swords Dance >> Leaf Storm. The extra HP EVs still give you a decent amount of bulk which is what Tangrowth really needs.

Thunder Fang >> Toxic on Arcanine. This allows you to scare Moltres away which can be a real pain to this team.

Use Earth Power/Shadow Ball >> Reflect on Claydol, so you aren't so taunt-weak. Claydol is also a big part of the Sunny Day, so I'd also go Rapid Spin >> boom, which helps Arcanine sweep better.

I don't know what Shuckle is doing here on this team. It seems like massive set-up fodder to me, plus you already have Stealth Rock on Claydol, so tht makes it even more useless. I'd suggest replacing it with something that can surprise your opponent or can also help setting up with Spikes or something. I'd recommend Bulk Up Hitmontop since it really helps with Arcanine's inability to hit Rock types.

Lapras is outclassed by Milotic, so you might want to change that. Milotic can really abuse the Restalk strategy if you want to go with that.

I'd change Bellossom to a Timid Nature so you can at least outrun neutral base 50 speed Pokemon when your sun runs out.


Other major weaknesses I see... not a lot. Maybe with a sharper eye could point those out.
