Call me stupid, but what does Rapid Spin do?
|
It goes without saying that a team of all sweepers will fail. An enemy will switch in a wall, forcing you to switch, then hammering whichever frail sweeper you need to send in. A team needs Pokemon that can take a hit. Otherwise you'll get walled and raped. However, since I'm assuming this is a novelty team of some sort, I may as well help.
-Dragonite pulls off DD+Damage much better than Salamence. Use him for that role instead. If you want to keep Salamence, give him the Specmence set. -Porygon-Z without Scarf wants Timid Nature. Give him LO over Focus Sash, as Stealth Rock and Spikes ruin that. -Give Starmie a bulkier EV spread, as well as Recover. Like I said, you need Pokemon that can take a hit. Starmie's hardly the best candidate for this, but since you already have her, you may as well take care of her decent defenses. EDIT: Rapid Spin is a 20 BP Normal type move. It clears your side of the field of Spikes, Toxic Spikes, and Stealth Rock. Starmie can learn Rapid Spin, by the way. |

EDIT: RS gets rid of Leech Seed? This is news to me. |

Should I replace Yache Berry with Focus Sash? If Salamence gets hit with an ice attack, he will be more likely to survive and I'll pull off Dragon Dance.

EDIT: This reply was directly at your first post, before I got to see the changes.
A sweeper team without a choice scarfer? It REALLY needs one if you're planning on dealing high damage and quickly. Also, you said it yourself - Bronzong can wall you, set up stealth rock and even put one of your sweepers to sleep, which may cost you the battle. Infernape says hi ^_^ Furthermore, I wouldn't lead with Electivire (going by the order you posted), mainly because it needs to be lured in and make your opponent wish he didn't use an electric attack. Gyarados works extremely well with Electivire, and would be a great starter in general. Don't forget Dugtrio, which is why you would wanna start usually with a flying type / levitator / Choice Scarfer / fast U-turner. So now you have 2 pokemon to consider - Gyarados and Infernape. PorygonZ with Choice Scarf is usually better then the focus sasher, namely for the common weather teams that make it useless. Muscle Band on Tyranitar? the 10% boost won't do much, you'd be better with Expert Belt of Life Orb. Rock Polish Tyranitar is also not a good idea, especially on a sweeper team, since it will invite other choice scarfers (like Garchomp) and without speed EVs it's even more useless - even Infernape will outspeed it and easily 1HKO with Close Combat. Even if you put speed EVs in Tyranitar, then it won't have 252 EVs in defence and will be extremely hard to switch in on other attacks, I doubt it will even get the chance to attack. So basically I'm saying Tyranitar doesn't fit in this team, not to mention is will also negate the focus sash on your PorygonZ, lol. Overall suggestions: Electivire @ Expert Belt Ability: Motor Drive EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Ice Punch - Thunderbolt - Earthquake - Cross Chop Swellow @ Flame Orb Ability: Guts EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Quick Attack - Facade - Brave Bird - Pursuit (it doesn't want Protect if it's not leading your team) Hope I helped. |

I might replace Quick Attack though and replace it with U Turn. |
No, Yache Berry is much better. Like I said, SR and Spikes (well, in Salamence's case, only SR) ruin Focus Sashes. But really, Dragonite pulls off Salamence's set much better.
[email protected] Yache Berry Jolly 252 Atk/ 228 Spd/ 30 HP -Dragon Dance -Outrage/ Dragon Claw -Earthquake -Fire Punch With those EVs, he can outrun a Scarfed neutral-natured Base 90 (like Porygon-Z). Remember, this guy's a late game sweeper, use him when much of the opponents walls are either worn down or defeated. EDIT: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Gamerman/Image%20Macros/079.png By the way, you may want to consider a mixed sweeper for your team (Mixape?). You're gonna get walled like it's nothing, so you'll need a mixed sweeper to take them out. Actually, Chainchomp might help this team a bit... |

Thanks Iceman. Yes, the Starmie and Swellow you just traded me.
I may now give Tyranitar either Leftovers or a Chople Berry(fighting damage reduction). 252 HP might be more helpful than 252 Def, because Aura Sphere and Earth Power. |
And that Swellow set Stays the same. Running Brave Bird w/Toxic Status is instant suicide. Somebody here mentioned it, so I thought I'd point it out
|
Ok, I'm done for right now. I'll make the changes and battle some people over the PBR Wi-fi to see any improvements.
|
Mixed Sweeping Electivire is probably better than Physical Sweeping.
Electivire @ Expert Belt Trait: Motor Drive Nature: Naive EVs: 252 Speed / 228 Attack / 80 SAttack - Thunderbolt - Icepunch - Earthquake - Cross Chop |

That's not really mixed, all it is is Electivire with Thunderbolt, which I run with this EV Spread: 232 Atk / 176 Spd / 100 SAtk
And you have WAY too much Speed on it. If you want to talk mixed Electivire, here's a REAL mixed one: Electivire @ Expert Belt Ability: Motor Drive EV: 116 Atk, 216 SAtk, 176 Spd Mild Nature (+SAtk, -Def) -Hidden Power(ICE) -Thunderbolt -Fire Punch -Cross Chop This thing can be a proven beast.
