The team seems a mix between heavy stall and heavy offence, which never work that well. It's better to decide between all out offence, or all out defence (heavy stall). Semi-Stall is pretty viable, but you'd need to redo the whole team pretty much. So let's say this is a stall team: Scrap...

I recommend Weavile over Medicham with this set: Weavile @ focus sash 252spe 252att 4hp Jolly ~ Swords Dance ~ Ice Shard ~ Night Slash ~ Low Kick / Ice Punch

Hey guys, long time since i made an RMT, but i recently got back into gen V PO, so i thought id share what i came up with :) (And hopefully get some input). No long intro, here it is, Its based around Scizor sweeping. That guy ^ Team Building Process: So Scizor has some pretty...

I think lead should be heatran, partly cause you gain a chance too set up early SR depending on their lead, partly cause it's a good idea to hide gliscor as he's your main answer to sand teams. Not much to improve, maybe thundurus over zapdos for Twave support. But this is solid and pretty damn...

I think tailwind on latios seems excessive, especially cause scizor and wind genie will set it up and switch out more effectively. Maybe try recover or calm mind instead. Or even revert to the classic specs set, its common for a reason. Gyarados sorta looks like extra weight that would just...

Heh i think ur better than you give urself credit for. This is a good team. I personally use Vaporeon as my bulky water, and love it. The two you put down are fine, this is what works for me: Vap @ leftovers 252hp 200def 56spD Bold Water absorb ~ Wish ~ Protect ~ Boiling water ~ Toxic / Ice...

Volcarona gets hurricane which is a pretty good stab flyin move, so thats good for its last slot. Also flame dance is probably better thn flamethrower for the chance of spA boosts. Using 252/252 EVs, you can 6 spare so 1 more stat point :P may aswell use it.

The team seems kinda unstructured, and looks like you just chose random sweeper after random sweeper. While that sometimes works, its better to have a base strategy e.g. Setting up a sweep for SD Lucario. To do that you need to think of ways to support Lucario, and get it in safely. So say you...

For latios, a more useful set goes like this: Latios @ choice specs Timid 252spe 252spA 4hp ~ Draco Meteor ~ Psycho Shock ~ Hp Fire ~ Trick Hp fire hits the common switch-in Nattorei, and psycho shock hits common specially defensive switch-ins harder (Blissey etc). Thing with the other moves...

This team got me back into gen IV for a while, and i love using it :) especially ur zapos with T spikes down. Honestly cant think of any improvements just wanted 2 say thanks. I might come back later when ive used it some more.

I tried out a great (similar) rotom W set that used hp fire and more bulk to surprise nattorei, its on smogon somewhere, ill try and find and post it. Reccomend highly :) Even though your team is swampert based, i think you should replace it for a better cber: i used terakion for a while, does...

Eh... that's ridiculous. Misunderstood check nvm lol, at least it can be revenge killed.

I wasn't denying it being broken, just that it has "no checks". A check doesn't have to switch into it, that's a counter- I agree it has no reliable counter. The only way it has of avoiding the checks I mentioned is to set up both sub and rock polish (wouldn't be surprised if a more defensive...

Landlos has checks, many carry HP ice now for Gliscor so ice shard checks those, among many things... and even sub versions (assuming they can set up) can be checked by icicle spear scarf cloyster. These are 100% checks aswell as being useful in other situations.

I think all of these barring manaphy can be stopped consistently, and will just lead to increased usage of certain pokes like spD Scizor, toxic heal Gliscor, Sableye, which is cool... I don't wanna be playing the same metagame. SD chomp is worse than Landlos to me, with sand veil there's no...
