    • Thanks for the constructive comments you will post to help my team.
    I need help to find the sixth member of my team.
    I need a special sweeper that is fast, but I don't know wich one to use.
    My team is made for WI-FI OU battle.

    My team:
    448.png

    Lucario @ Focus sash
    Adamant - Inner Focus
    EV: 252 ATK/4 Sp. DEF/252 Speed
    - Extreme Speed
    - Counter
    - Close Combat
    - Crunch

    He is one really good Anti-Lead.
    I usually use Close Combat as my first move to bait a physical on the second turn to do Counter.
    If my opponent also have have Focus Shash, I use priority.

    Gyarados @ Leftovers
    Adamant - Intimidate
    EV: 156 HP/72 Atk/96 Def/184 Spe
    - Waterfall
    - Dragon Dance
    - Taunt
    - Bounce

    Bulky gyarados to resist many things.
    I usually have time to do DD.
    I use Bounce for the paralyze chance and for the free turn of recover by leftovers.
    He is also the best bait for electric move to raise the speed of my electivire.

    Togekiss @ Lum berry
    Calm - Serene Grace
    EV: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SpD
    - Thunder Wave
    - Air Slash
    - Roost
    - Substitute

    He is also a bait for electric move to raise Electivire speed.
    Easy set: paralyse and flinch until your opponent faint.
    I use substitute to help him to absorb move if the opponent switch and to paralyse a second pokemon easily.

    Electivire @ Life Orb
    Adamant - Motor Drive
    EV: 4 HP/25 ATK/252 Speed
    - Thunder Punch
    - Ice Punch
    - Fire Punch
    - Earthquake

    I choose Life Orb over Expert Belt to get more power when I do neutral damage on my opponent.
    High chance to raise my speed if I predict well.

    442.png

    Spiritomb @ Choice Band
    Adamant - Pressure
    EV: 252 HP/140 DEF/114 Sp. DEF
    - Trick
    - Pursuit
    - Shadow Sneak
    - Will-O-Wisp

    I use him for many reason.
    Good defense.
    I need a trick pokemon to destroy stall pokemon.
    No weakness.
    I choose adamant to hit allitle harder.
    After a trick, the opponent will often switch, so I will use Pursuit.

    Here I will have my sixth pokemon.
    I need a special sweeper and is really fast since my team miss a little speed and priority.

    What you need is a Stealth Rock user. No good team should be without one.

    He is right. Stealth Rock is one of the most important moves in the game.
    Lucario is a good anti-lead, but if you don't have a backup Stealth Rocker, your team will be at a disadvantage against teams that do have it. Swampert is a good choice because it resists Fire and has good Defenses.
    You should replace Spiritomb for Swampert.

    Swampert @Leftovers
    Impish/Relaxed Nature
    252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def

    -Earthquake
    -Waterfall/Surf
    -Stealth Rock
    -Protect/Roar/Ice Beam

    Choice Band Spiritomb isn't really a good choice for OU teams. It's meant more for UU teams because in UU, there are more Psychic, Ghost, and Normal Pokemon on teams.

    About Electivire:

    Many new battlers use physical Electivire because they look at Electivire's higher Attack stat, but Mixed Electivire generally performs better in OU battles.

    Electivire @Expert Belt
    Mild Nature
    36 Atk / 252 SpA / 220 Spd

    -Thunderbolt
    -Flamethrower
    -Cross Chop
    -Ice Punch/Hidden Power Grass

    Physical Electivire's Thunderpunch vs. Bold Vaporeon: 67.9% - 80.8%
    Mixed Electivire's Thunderbolt vs. Bold Vaporeon: 77% - 90.4%

    Physical Electivire's Thunderpunch vs. Bold Suicune: 50.5% - 60.4%
    Mixed Electivire's Thunderbolt vs. Bold Suicune: 73% - 86.1%

    Physical Electivire's Thunderpunch vs. Impish Skarmory: 56% - 66.8%
    Mixed Electivire's Thunderbolt vs. Impish Skarmory: 132% - 155.7%

    Physical Electivire's Fire/Ice Punch vs. Bold Celebi: 38.1% - 45.6%
    Mixed Electivire's Flamethrower vs. Bold Celebi: 54.5% - 64.6%

    Physical Electivire's Fire Punch vs. Relaxed Forretress: 71.8% - 85.3%
    Mixed Electivire's Flamethrower vs. Relaxed Forretress: 188.4% - 222.3%

    Physical Electivire's Earthquake vs. Relaxed Swampert: 24.3% - 28.7%
    Mixed Electivire's HP Grass vs. Relaxed Swampert: 87.9% - 104.5%

    So you see, even though Electivire's Attack is greater than its Special Attack, most walls in OU are physically defensive which means you need focus more on special attacks to beat them.

    Physical Electivire is still good, just not AS GOOD as Mixed Electivire.

    As for a sixth Pokemon, you really do need a special attackingPokemon. But you don't really need a fast sweeper. Your team is fairly offensive, but it's also pretty bulky.
    What you do need is something that can absorb status. Gyarados and Electivire both hate Will-o-wisp and Lucario risks getting put to Sleep by Roserade and Smeargle leads.

    Try Celebi:

    Celebi @Leftovers
    Modest Nature
    232 HP / 244 SpA / 32 Spd

    -Leaf Storm
    -Thunder Wave
    -Recover
    -Psychic/U-Turn

    Celebi is a good choice for your team because it makes a great partner for Electivire and Gyarados by resisting Ground and Electric attacks. It can paralyze opponents with Thunder Wave which helps out some of the slower Pokemon on your team. It has Natural Cure so status moves won't bother it much. And finally, it has plenty of special attack to deal damage with.
