It seems to me that this team is based around Medicham sweeping, so if that's the case I'm gonna suggest that you make Mew the Baton Passer. Something like:
Mew @Lagging Tail Trait: Sychronize EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Swords Dance - Rock Polish - Baton Pass - Psychic The crux of this set is Lagging Tail. It always makes you go last, which means the opponent will always, always, always hit you before you baton pass, therefore getting Medicham in at full HP (assuming no hazards) and give him 10 turns to annihilate foe's teams. That leaves the Nasty Plotter slot open. I would recommend Azelf, but considering you already have 3 Psychic types in your team, perhaps Togekiss would be a better option (although it totally goes off what Mew was originally planning to do). Maybe you can just forget Nasty Plot as a whole and try LO Shaymin. |
I recommend Weavile over Medicham with this set:
Weavile @ focus sash 252spe 252att 4hp Jolly ~ Swords Dance ~ Ice Shard ~ Night Slash ~ Low Kick / Ice Punch |

I really like this team, the only problem I see is a lot of fighting weakness, but then you have a lot of fighting resistance, so... In a strange way, this team actually looks weak to opposing Medicham, haha, but I don't know how often you'll see that, and you can always T-Wave it with Slowbro before it can Thunderpunch you into oblivion, and then it isn't much of a threat. |
Hi. I don't have a whole lot of time because I'm about ready to collapse from practice but I just wanted to say that this team is actually very Durant weak, notably if you don't get Slowbro out to Flamethrower on the first Hone Claws. X-Scissor and Iron Head rips through your team save Gligar, who doesn't do much in return off of that nice uninvested base 75 Atk, while Iron Head can drop it because of flinches from Iron Head. Plus it outspeeds like everything on your team.
I'd recommend something far more sturdy than Armaldo. Plenty of other Pokemon get SR and your team doesn't have any need to run Rapid Spin. Plus, Armaldo is honestly not going to hit hard -or- take hits well, meaning its a wasted team slot. I'd look into Pokemon like Nidoqueen who can take a hit or two and scare Durant out with the threat of Fllamethrower. ...yep I'm starting to lose focus now so if I said anything confusing please alert me! /falls asleep |

Now, if Slowbro dies before Durant even sees the battlefield, that's a different problem. Mixed Electivire, if he is still UU, could be the pokemon that causes this problem? I also agree with the sentiment that Armaldo is probably the easiest to replace on this team, but I don't know with what. I've always been interested in an Aggron, and this may be my only opportunity to suggest using him? He's not as "wall-like," though. Still, though, if you have been using Armaldo, and he has been effective, no reason to switch it up. |
Well.. I like this team a lot. On an individual basis I think each Pokemon is constructed really well. Good job!
Maybe you'd want to try Psychic on Slowbro? It's a great STAB attack and will give you a good advantage against a lot of types for neutral damage. Yawn may also be a good idea for some pseudo-hazing. |
I've updated the main post, I took Conjurer's advice and added the Mew in over Gligar, I lacked a special sweeper and couldn't use Azelf because Durant truly would destroy this team. I choose Kyurem, who's been doing fine, by the time Durant has +1'd I would of Hp Fire'd it and ended it. Slowbro doesn't die to a +1 X-Scissor which means I can get in a Flamethrower. I've replaced ThunderPunch on Medicham for Fire Punch since it does more, I was wall'd by horribad steels. Armaldo has been doing well, Rapid Spin is needed because of the Toxic Spikers coming in, which could wreck Medicham, Kyurem & Slowbro. Although I made need something that resists Bug and Fighting all together...

^ That's an itemless Durant @ log and calc. This is a Durant with a LO: 712 Atk vs 350 Def & 394 HP (80 Base Power): 456 - 536 (115.74% - 136.04%) As you can see, guaranteed OHKO with +1. I apologize as I myelf didn't know exactly how much it did and assumed it didn't KO Slowbro but it seems more like Durant just mauls that defensive core of yours. Lastly, Durant's Iron Head to Gligar; 712 Atk vs 486 Def & 334 HP (80 Base Power): 165 - 195 (49.40% - 58.38%) That's a 98.36% chance to 2HKO it normally and a 100% with any prior damage at all. And since your Gligar has no recovery it'll be even easier to wear it down. edit: Quote:

Nidoqueen has been added to the team after some consideration.
I find that I'm having a load of trouble dealing with SubPlot Mismagius running Substitute/Nasty Plot/Thunderbolt/Shadow Ball. Having 105 base speed it out runs everything on my team. \: If it's Np'd it's all over since Mew can't survive a +2 SE STAB'd Shadow Ball, plus it has to use Rock Polish and then pass it on. \: So any help for dealing with this little "thing" I was thinking that I could give Kyurem a choice scarf and just let him rip away. Chansey maybe an amazing special wall although it's completely walled by Mismagius, Toxic can't do anything whilst it has a Sub and Seismic Toss cannot touch it. D: |
CM Mismag sets up on Kyurem regardless. Escavlier might be useful here, over something to beat said Mismag.
Escavlier @ Chesto Berry 248 HP / 24 Atk / 232 SpD / 4 Speed Adamant Nature Trait : Shell Armour - Swords Dance - Iron Head - Megahorn(y) ;] - Rest This is prolly my fav set for it. That or you can use another attack move over Rest and Leftovers or just the flat out CBer. ThunderPunch is alot better than Fire Punch to hit Slowbro and the like on Medicham. Fire Punch doesn't cover hardly anything. Zen Headbutt over Psychic on Mew if you're using SD. This team also lacks SR. :/ |

I've added in Escavalier over Chansey. [Don't ask how I came to that decision. Chansey was being terrible and I kept seeing more and more things walling her, if the worst comes I'll put her back on]
Nidoqueen cannot have Toxic Spikes/Sheer Force/Stealth Rock. |: |
