Okay, so I've updated my decklist taking into consideration the above suggestions. I've also added a few cards to the deck.
3 Bubbleman
3 Neos Alius (I really didn't want to run him but...)
2 Ocean (I had to cut him and the two King of the Swamp for Alius)
1 Stratos
1 Evocator Chevalier...
I am currently running an Elemental Hero deck focusing around Absolute Zero and Acid's effects. So far results from testing the deck have been good but not great. That's where you guys come in. Please help me improve this deck and make it better.
Quick sidenote: I don't run Neos Alius in this...
i: Spinda
Okay... Spinda isn't really suited as a lead. If you must use Spinda (regardless of it's measly stats) then I suggest using another Pokémon as your lead. Your best bet with Spinda is to use a Parafusion set. Below is my recommendation:
Spinda @ Leftovers
Adamant Nature [+Atk, -SpAtk]...
First, I have a question: What tier is this team intended for?
I'm going to assume the Uber tier considering you have Garchomp on your team. I'm going to take this into consideration while rating your team (You should probably edit your post and state the tier).
Anyway, onto the team...
Let me make this clear. This team is far from complete and I am aware of it's many weaknesses. I am open to suggestions regarding teammates though I will say that I am eager to keep Cinccino on my team. This is because I love this Pokémon.
Also, please can you also take the time to help me with...
I will do this Pokémon by Pokémon.
Lets start with Moltres:
If you want to keep Moltres I'd suggest refining his moveset. At the moment, it seems as though Moltres is using a Sunny Day set but I don't get why Air Slash is part of it and why Fire Blast isn't used over Flamethrower. I suggest...
Cinccino @ Life Orb / Choice Band
Nature: Jolly / Adamant
Ability: Technician
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe (Are EVs necessary in-game?)
Moves:
Bullet Seed
Rock Blast
Tail Slap
U-turn / Wake-up Slap
This Pokémon is essential... Why? It's a Cinccino team. :P.
Here is where I need the most help...
OK. I've tested the team and must agree with all of you regarding Infernape's set. It doesn't quite work regardless of whether SR is used against me or not. The only I see it working is if a faster lead hits me with SR then I use SR. Afterwards, I predict EQ and select Endeavor. Infernape holds...
@solarowl Vacuum Wave has priority over EQ. Which means Vacuum Wave will hit first meaning KO. And besides The main purpose of Infernape is to set up Stealth Rock then Endeavor anyway. Also, lead Hippowdon is slower than a lead Infernape which means Stealth Rock strikes first followed by EQ...
Due to my other thread being real quiet, I decided to post my untested team to be. Now, this is by no means finished, so please take that into consideration when rating and suggesting improvements.
i. First Glance:
ii. In Depth Look:
Infernape @ Focus Sash
Nature: Hasty
Ability: Blaze
EV...
I'd recommend that you convert Forretress from specially defensive to physically defensive. Forretress' special defence is terrible anyway, so why put evs into it. It just seems wasteful to me. Here is the build I would for a physically defensive Forretress:
Held Item: Shed Shell
Nature...
OK. Before I start I would like to say that I'm not very good with V Gen Pokemon. But, hey one can try right?
Anyway, on with the suggestions:
Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Sand Stream
EV Spread: 180hp / 252atk / 76spe
Moves:
Stone Edge
Crunch
Earthquake / Pursuit / Fire...
