Do give the community some time to respond ^_^; This isn't instant messenger so it does take time for people to get on and post. We discourage double posting (posting 2 times in a row) so try not to do that in the future ^^;

Do review through the advanced trainers' guide stickied in this forum to see what some of the mistakes (especially items) this team commits. The moveset are mostly fine however.


Milotic- [def, sp.atk or sp.def + / atk -] @ leftovers
EV: Hp, def, sp.atk, sp.def
-surf
-ice beam
-recover
-toxic/mirror coat

Mystic water really only boosts damage by x1.1. That's quite minimal so don't use it. Use leftovers instead to help out with tankability.


Machamp- [atk + / sp.atk -] @ quick claw
EV: atk, hp, def
-cross chop
-earthquake
-rock slide/light screen/facade
-HP Ghost/light screen/facade

I'll personally stick HP Ghost on just to hit the very VERY common Dusclops and Gengars out there (not all Gengars have psychic, and if they do, well you're messed.) Facade with guts is always a plus and a killer with Machamp's strength. Light screen is also an option to boost sp.def and pseudo-passing.


Salamence- [atk + / sp.atk-] @ lum berry
EV: anything but sp.atk
-dragon dance
-earthquake
-aerial ace
-rock slide/flamethrower

standard but it can be very useful... you get to choose either rock slide to hit other salamences and a better edge against Aerodactyl (who will most likely OHKO you unless you are at full hp) and Crobat, or flamethrower to hit Skarmory and other physical tanks. Rock slide is most likely the better choice for most teams though...


Tyranitar- [atk or speed + / sp.atk -] @ leftovers
EV: atk, speed
-dragon dance
-earthquake
-rock slide
-brick break

A copy of salamence who traded away the x4 ice weakness for a x4 brick break weakness... however it's your best friend against Weather Teams.


Kingdra- use modest definitely... and throw away rest for HP electric/grass to hit water absorbers. Either way, Omastar > Kingdra.


Metagross- meh another standard... use lum berry instead of leftovers to protect the attack power and speed from will o wisp and thunderwave.


Rating: 4 OU (the high stat ones), 2 UU (Machamp and Kingdra)... pretty much the powerhouse team using 3 of the 4 Pokemon wiht the highest stats in game excluding Slaking and ubars/legendaries.

Gardevoir, Dusclops. Crobat, hercaross, ninjask, chariazrd, snorlax nd espeon

Don't double or triple post. Frosty just told you that. And like Frosty said, give people time to respond.

I don't feel like typing much but you can use Ninjask and Heracross together for BPing and Reversal.

[email protected]/stat raising berry
EVs: Attack and Speed
Subsitute
Baton Pass
Swords Dance
Silver Wind

[email protected] raising berry (Swarm as ability)
Reversal
Endure
Megahorn
Earthquake

Keep subbing with Ninjask until you can't anymore. Then BP to Heracross and endure a bit until you're low on HP. Then use Reversal. Just watch out for QAers.
