ok so I just started net batteling yesterday.
I've lost way more times than I've won and I've pretty much tried out
all my in game teams. I battled a lot not in game but with my in game
team against other people and I win a lot but now with net battle
well let's just say it's way harder.
I've lost way more than I've won but when I do win, it's way more satisfying
and oddly, the battles are always super close.
when I log on to net battle it says this team has a power of 60%
um..is that good?
I need help, so please help me.
I know I shouldn't have 3 flying types so feel free to change them out.
Try and leave me one I like Dodrio and Skarmory best so one of them
mess with the moves as you like. but gotta tell my my skarm and dodrio
are pretty solid so far, they're what help most with the wins.

my original idea was to curse my umbreon all the way then BP to
Arcanine and sweep away with extremespeed but it didn't work.
what'd I do wrong?

lol, can't believe I forgot this, I need major help with items.
can someone please tell me what the pinch berries are and what each does
or at the very least where to find this information?

Mean Look

I like using Double team and toxic instead of curse and mean look, but ur moveset looks fine.

Arcanine
Adamant: Atk 252, Spd 252
Endure <--???
Overheat
Extremespeed
HP: Ground

I cant see a point for endure in this moveset unless its holding a berry (u didnt say...). And HP ground to cover its rock type weakness.

Dodrio
Jolly: Atk 252, Spd 252
Endure
Drill Peck
HP: Ground
Endeavor

hp ground covers rock and electric weaknesses while fighting only covers ice (unless im forgeting something)

Altaria
Careful: Def 252, Sp.Def 252
Aerial Ace
Dragon Dance
Earthquake
Safeguard

Skarmory
Careful: Atk 128, Def 128, Sp.Def 252
@left overs
Roar
Spikes
Counter/Toxic
Drill Peck

with toxic and roar it could poison ur opponents entire party

Lapras
Modest: HP 252, Def 128, Sp.Def 128
@Lum Berry
Psychic
Ice Beam
Rest
Sleep Talk
im new to rating so theres probably some mistakes....

Umbreon
Calm : HP 252, 252 SDef, 4 Def
@Leftovers
Curse
Taunt
Baton Pass
Moonlight

It needs max hp and spdef. It will get enough defense from curse anyway. You won't be using Mean Look on that set effectively, so use Taunt instead to prevent Skarmory/Suicune from Roaring you out.

Arcanine@Leftovers
Adamant: Atk 252, Spd 252, 4 HP
Endure
Overheat
Extremespeed
HP: Fighting

You didn't use those remaining 4 EVs for anything, so I put it into hp. HP Fighting > HP Rock. Use maybe howl over endure or something, but don't use endure on this, since it doesn't help it at all, and your team has a tyranitar weakness already. Use leftovers on it.

Dodrio@Choice Band
Jolly: Atk 252, Spd 252, 4 HP
Return
Drill Peck
HP: Fighting
Quick Attack

Endure + Endeavor isn't such a great idea imo. Your team has a tyranitar weakness, so I wouldn't use Endure on it (to not get KO-ed by Sandstorm.) Use @Choice Band, and Return for STAB, and QA for subrevvers, etc.

Altaria@Leftovers
Careful: Def 252, Sp.Def 252
Aerial Ace
Dragon Dance
Earthquake
Safeguard

The EVs are messed up, and Altaria CAN'T take any sorts of hits in the OU enviroment. If you really want to use it, then go with HP Flying over AA, and maybe Fire Blast over Safeguard. @Leftovers.

Skarmory
Careful: Atk 128, Def 128, Sp.Def 252
@left overs
Roar
Spikes
Rest
Drill Peck

It isn't going to take special hits, so those SDef EVs, and +SDef nature is pointless. Impish nature, 196 HP, 252 Def, 12 Spd, 48 Atk.

Lapras
Modest: HP 252, Def 128, Sp.Def 128
@Lum Berry
Psychic
Ice Beam
Rest
Sleep Talk

Boah easily beats this. Why Lum berry, when it has Sleep Talk? -_-
Anyway, those EVs aren't going to work, tho I haven't really used Lapras before so I can't help with the EVs. Use Thunderbolt over Psychic, Roar over Sleep Talk and Surf over Rest. @Leftovers

can someone please tell me what the pinch berries are and what each does
or at the very least where to find this information?
Liechi berry - attack boosting pinch berry
Salac berry - speed boosting pinch berry
Petaya berry - sp.attack boosting pinch berry
Only these pinch berries are worth using (why would a pokemon between 1%-25% health need a 1.5x def. or sdef. boost anyway?), and they're useful only on certain pokemons.

A huge Tyranitar and Metagross weakness, once Arcanine is out of the way. Skarmory can't wall T-punching gross, and other than Dodrio, the rest of the team isn't going to damage T-tar that much (a reason why to use HP Fighting Arcanine); so watch out for them. If you want to take out one of those flying types, then take out Altaria, since it isn't going to do much for this team. Swampert could help out this team a bit, by being a good counter to Meta and T-tar.

Btw, next time, when you open team builder, you can just use File <--- Export to text. That way you won't have to write that much and it'll also be easier to read.

Well, I hope this helps.
