What do you think of this team?
this is my team mixed with UU, BL, & OU pokemon...i won a few battles on shoddy with this team, but i wanna know if you guys could help me make improvements...
Fearow w/ Choice Band Adamant Ability: Keen Eye EV's: 255 Att./ 255 Spd Attacks: U-Turn Drill Peck Steel Wing Pursuit Houndoom w/ Choice Specs Timid Ability: Flash Fire EV's: 255 Spd/ 255 SpAtt Attacks: Dark Pulse Flamethrower Hidden Power (Water) Sludge Bomb Omastar w/ Splash Plate Relaxed Ability: Swift Swim EV's: 255 Def/ 255 Sp. Att Attacks: Rain Dance Surf Ancientpower Stealth Rock Gyrados w/ Wacan Berry Careful Ability: Intimidate EV's: 255 Att./ 255 SpDef Attacks: Aqua Tail Earthquake Avalanche Body Slam Mamoswine w/ Leichi Berry Adamant Ability: Oblivious EV's: 255 HP/ 255 Att Attacks: Ice Shard Earthquake Stone Edge Substitute Porygon-Z w/ Petaya Berry Modest Ability: Adaptibility EV's: 255 Spd/ 255 Spatt Attacks: Hyper Beam Recover Nasty Plot Thunderbolt |
Staraptor @ Choice Scarf
Intimidate Adamant - 252 Atk, 112 Def, 144 Spd ~ Brave Bird ~ Close Combat ~ Pursuit ~ U-Turn In all honesty, use Staraptor > Fearow because everything Fearow can do, Staraptor can do better, but anyways.. allow me to explain my custom set here. BulkRaptor can surprisingly take some decent hits with 112 Def + Intimidate, 144 Spd + Choice Scarf puts you at 396 Spd which outspeeds all base 130 Spd pkmn such as Crobat and Aerodactyl, max Atk is obvious. Houndoom @ Life Orb/Focus Sash Flash Fire Timid - 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Spd, 6 Hp ~ Dark Pulse ~ Flamethrower/Fire Blast ~ HP (Ground)/Nasty Plot ~ Substitute/Nasty Plot I'm guessing this guy covers your Mamoswines Fire weakness? But moving on.... I wouldn't recommend giving it a Focus Sash due to Stealth Rocks/SS/Hail etc.. being so common. Choose FB > Flamethrower if the accuracy doesn't bother you, HP (Ground) is for opposing Houndooms/Heatran who otherwise screw your Dark + Fire coverage and Sub makes sure you don't get OHKO. Nasty Plot is there incase you feel as if though your attacks need that extra oomph! lol Omastar w/ Splash Plate Relaxed Ability: Swift Swim EV's: 255 Def/ 255 Sp. Att Attacks: Rain Dance Surf Ancientpower Stealth Rock This guy really isn't contributing much to the team, I suggest dropping him for something that resists that nasty Rock/Electric weakness your team has. Perhaps a Ground type? Gyrados @ Leftovers Intimidate Adamant - 212 Hp, 16 Atk, 136 Def, 144 Spd ~ Dragon Dance ~ Waterfall/Aqua Tail ~ Earthquake ~ Taunt/Ice Fang/Stone Edge If you were trying to make your Gyarados survive Thunderbolts, please don't cause that's what your Mamo's Ground typing is there for, predict and switch. But anyways.. this set relies on the DD set up to work effectively. After 1 DD you hit 351 Spd outspeeding all + natured base 110 Spd pkmn such as Gengar. Mamoswine @ Life Orb Oblivious Brave - 252 Atk, 16 Def, 232 Sp. Atk, 8 Spd ~ With HP (Fire) Brave - 252 Atk, 220 Def, 28 Sp. Atk, 8 Spd ~ With Blizzard ~ Ice Shard ~ Earthquake ~ Stone Edge ~ HP (Fire)/Blizzard Brave nature so it won't hinder your Sp. Atk stat, the 8 Spd Ev's are there to outspeed Skarmory and 2HKO it with either HP (Fire)/Blizzard Porygon-Z w/ Petaya Berry Modest Ability: Adaptibility EV's: 255 Spd/ 255 Spatt Hyper Beam Recover Nasty Plot Thunderbolt If you were looking for a Sp. Sweeper here, Porygon-Z isn't the way to go because it's too slow to sweep, it's too fragile, It requires set upwhich is hard to successfully pull off with this guy and it gets walled too easily |

Btw, Splash Plate is kinda meh; use Leftovers >> that on Omastar. |
Well, first, as genesis said, a Staraptor is much better than Fearow in everything practically, especially with: brave bird, close combat, Uturn, and pursuit, but if u still wanna use fearow use a Jolly one, not an adamant one, especially that ur using Choice Band!
second, ur houndoom, a focus sash is much better than a choice specs, and it'd be better if u switch "sludge bomb" with "Nasty Plot", because sludge bomb is only supereffective against grass types, and flamethrower covers that, also HP ground is better than water, but water is not bad. third, a Jolly gyarados with dragon dance, is MUCH better than a careful one with Body slam, also ev traing the gyarados 252 in speed and att, 6 HP. fourth, Mamoswine is fine, but Leftovers would be good on it. fifth, ur Porygon-z.. download is better than adaptability, because if u plan to call it out infront of a pokemon with a low sp.def, it's sp.att will automatically rise, which for a special sweeper is a great gift. You should use this moveset: Nasty Plot Tri-attack Ice beam Dark pulse finally, ur omastar, I think u should remove it TOTALLY from ur team, because with a 4x grass weakness, it won't stand a chance, not to mention that some of ur team members don't benefit from Rain (ex:Houndoom.), it's also slow and many other water sp. sweepers are better, (empoleon, if u want a slow one.) |

You might need to rethink the structure of your team. If you're running an Offensive Team, then run a Scarfer to revenge kill. Otherwise, you need some walls. |
You sir, have a nasty Heracross weak, try giving Gyara some HP to solve the problem

thanks guys i'll try to accommodate the advice....

I think that mixing tiers is not a good idea. The UU's will be outclassed by the OU's and BLs that they face, and you can't use it in UU play because of the OU's and BL's.
Also, 255/255 EV spreads are a bit wasteful, while I know that the 6 extra EVs is only...lol one stat point or so, its still something. |
BidoofMaster, this thread is not for rating your team. If you want to have your team rated, create a thread for it. (and type out the EVs, moves, items and natures so that it will get approved while you're at it.)
