Eh, I decided to come here for advice...
 
Nothing special, it's just my team.

http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpmfa/dpmfa282.png

Gardevior @Colbur Berry
Modest Nature
EVs:148spattk/252hp/108spd
Ability: Trace

Psychic
Thundrbolt
Grass Knot
Wish

Of course, this is my starter. Garde just about hits every other starter. The only things I see being a problem are Heracross and Weavile who both outspeed and OHKO Garde.
I've tried Gardevoir in the past and redid the set and EVs. But, that's about it. Wish heals up my sweepers and tanks when I need to.

Hitmontop @Leftovers
Adamant Nature
EVs:200hp/220attk/88def
Ability: Intimidate

Mach Punch
Rapid Spin
Toxic
Aerial Ace

I was looking for a nice Weavile counter and found one. Only a handful of Weaviles carry Aerial Ace. Even if they did, Intimidate would scare them away. If one decides to stay in, Mach Punch should provide a nice Vile Killer. Aerial Ace makes Hitmontop a nice way to kill Heracross if it decides to stay in.

__________________________________________________ ______________________
Current Analysis of my team-

So far, I have a Weavile counter/Spinner plus a nice starter. So, what's next? I need a good wall.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Slowking @ Leftovers
Calm Nature
EVs:212HP/44spattk/252spdef
Ability: Own Tempo

Surf
Ice Beam
Slack Off
Reflect/Thunder Wave

This is my special wall. I used the EVs from the analysis since that was the only EV Spread that made sense on a Slowking. Reflect supports my team better against things like Metagross and Tyranitar. It's also my SpecsMence counter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpmfa/dpmfa184.png

Azumaril @Leftovers
Adamant Nature
EVs:252hp/232attk/24def
Ability: Huge Power

Waterfall
Refresh
Ice Punch
Brick Break

This is my tank. Burns just screw up Azumaril, especially when then most unexpected burns occour (That Heatran's Lava Pume still haunts Azumaril to this day =_=). Ice Punch hits harder and better than Aqua Jet. Aqua Jet 3KO's an Electrode while Ice Punch 2KO's it. It also hits the likes of Mence and Chomp harder than Aqua Jet can ever do.

__________________________________________________ ______________________
Current Analysis of my team-

As you can see, I have my tanks and walls, it's time for the speed portion of my team. I'm going to use 2 sweepers to fill in the last 2 slots on my team - one Special and one Physical.

Metagross @Leftovers
Adamant Nature
EVs:252attk/184spd/72hp

Earthquake
Meteor Mash
Thunderpunch
Agility

My Agiligross. Thanks to DevilinDenial, I was able to make a new physical sweeper and elimiate a few weaknesses.

Porygon-Z @Life Orb/Choice Scarf
Modest Nature
EVs:252spattk/252spd/4hp
Ability: Adaptivity

Hyper Beam
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
HP Ground

My Pory. Hyper Beam serves a nice OHKO on Blissey, making it abe to keep my team from getting crippled/put to sleep by Blissey. HP Ground for Tran and Zone. I could give it a Scarf to outspeed a LOT of things so it can kill easier or, give it a LO to make it a lot more powerful since its base 90 speed allows it to outspeed its basic threats.

Personal Team Analysis and rating-

My Team is mostly UU/BL, yes, I know. That doesn't mean they can't do anything in OU. I have my Hera/Chomp/Vile weaknesses covered. It just seems like I need a little more extra protection from other threats in OU. ScarfZam is the perfect example of one. Once Slowking is down, ScarfZam has enough power and speed to demolish a good protion of my team. Although, Proygon-Z has a small chance of surviving a Focus Blast and is able to OHKO it with Hyper Beam. Nape is another example. PlotApe can be outsped by Porygon-Z if it has a Scarf. If Nape is Scarfed, it'll take a little more to kill it.

My own rating-

For my own team, I'd give it an 7/10. It's the only team that I took the time to research on and get. I can see a few things causing my team a little trouble, so, I'm gonna try to figure a way around those.

I've been to Smogon and got some advice, so, I decided to come here for advice.

Hyper Beam doesn't OHKO Blissey unless it's life orbed with a nasty plot under its belt >.>

Azonic January 27th, 2008 9:52 AM

Ew. Hyper Beam is horrible. Even on Porygon-Z. It won't be getting very far.

Use Tri Attack, it can get you status too.

"Hai, my name is MSZapdos, I like to Roost out LO recoil and other forms of residue damage, and 2HKO/0HKO everything with Metal Sound LO Thunderbolts"

Metagross's Clear Body prevents the SpDef drop, but you'll just get 2HKOed by LO Thunderbolt unless you run a bulky Metagross with at least 252HP / 136SpDef EVs.
