Rate My Team
I just started getting into competitive battling so as u can tell my team can use a lot of work but any recommendations would be appreciated
This is my team: [email protected] trait: torrent nature: modest ev: 252 hp, 129 def, 129 sdef hydro pump ice beam rapid spin aqua ring Going 4 a mixed wall [email protected] specs trait: Flame body nature: timid ev: 252 spa, 252 spd, 6 hp fire blast overheat thunderbolt psychic Sp. sweeper [email protected] belt trait: motor drive nature: hasty ev: 252 spd, 158 atk, 100 spa thunderbolt cross chop earthquake ice punch Phy. sweeper [email protected] trait: lightning rod nature: adamant ev: 252 hp, 129 atk, 129 def earthquake stone edge megahorn sword dance Tank [email protected] spec trait: synchronize nature: timid ev: 252 spa, 252 spd, 6 sdef psychic shadow ball focus blast energy ball Sp. sweeper [email protected] scarf trait: no guard nature: adamant ev: 252 atk, 129 def, 129 hp dynamic punch cross chop ice punch thunder punch Phy. sweeper |
1) Get rid of Blastoise. If you want a Bulky Water, it's severly outclassed by Suicune, Swampert, Vaporeon, and Slowbro. As a Spinner, it's thoroughly (sp?) outclassed by Starmie, who's much faster, has an instant recovery move, and a magnificent special movepool (not to mention a pretty decent 100 base SPATK to back it up).
2) Grass Knot works on Alakazam better; most of the targets will get hit harder by it (Suicune, Milotic, and Spiritomb all get hit by a 100 BP attack) than Energy Ball. 3) lol psychic Magmortar. Use something else for a special sweeper; Azelf and Heatran are both excellent choices. 4) Rhyperior's too slow to really SD effectively. |

Thats pretty much the standard set for it. But I might suggest using something over this. Possibly Snorlax or Vaporeon. I also hope this isn't your lead... Quote:
Use Focus Blast over Psychic because Psychic doesn't really increase it's coverage more then Focus Blast would. To fill your last slot, use HP Ice. Modest over Timid to add more power to your Overheat. Quote:
I'm pretty sure everyone who rates this team is going to say the same thing about Electivire so, I'll leave the in depth explaining to them. Quote:
So I suggest using the Choice Band set. or use a Rock Polish set that almost swept me D: I like to use Avalanche instead of Ice Fang because it does more damage to attacking Pokemon, but Ice Fang does more to incoming Pokemon. Your choice. Lightningrod is a useless ability in single battles. If you want to use a defensive set:- Rhyperior @ Leftovers Solid Rock Impish 252 HP/ 6 Atk/ 252 Def - Earthquake - Stone Edge - Megahorn/ Avalanche - Stealth Rock/ Roar Quote:

Use Guts so you could switch Machamp in on a Will-o-Wisp, make sure it's not a Thunder Wave though, pretty much makes Choice Scarf useless. Since you really don't have a lead and ScarfChamp is kinda... eh. Why not use Anti-Lead Machamp. Machamp @ Lum Berry No guard Adamant 252 HP / 160 Atk / 96 SpD - Substitute - Dynamicpunch - Stone Edge / ThunderPunch - Payback / Ice Punch - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Salamence, Infernape, Tyranitar, and Gyarados might/will give you some problems. You could make Machamp bulkier to take on Tyranitar, but Haryiama will do that better. Vaporeon can go against Infernape and Gyarados (and Salamence?) but a NP Grass Knot actually does hurt it. |
Just at a glance:
- Gyara eats this team after 1 DD. - The excess of choice item seems to also be a problem. - You need a pokemon to set up Stealth Rock. - Your walls and tanks need defensive natures. - You should also consider what each of your moves are covering. Sure they're good moves, but they can be dead weight on a certain pokemon. -You may want to also consider some pokemon that can take hits(Usually a pokemon with a recovery move and that is holding leftovers.) My advice is more conceptual since Kanye covered the sets, but there are pokemon that can fit the description of what you need better, the issue is whether you're willing to change them or not. Oh, and on an unrelated note: It'd look a lot nicer with pictures =P |

other than that, I can say swampert weak.half your team gets ko'd by swampy. btw, the evs might not be exactly good, but I'm just doing it from my head and from what I think it's good for it. |
