Movesets are fine, Watch out for pretty much all Sp sweepers :/ Most of ur pokes have very bad Sp def, and empoleon can probably get 2 hit KOd by T-bolt.

The idea is that hopefully Scizor can get enough Agilities to Metagross/Lucario that they can out speed the Special Sweepers and hopefully KO them... if not well you know the rest

Well if you bothered to read, this isn't for competitive reasons outside of my group of friends. And I'm also guessing that you are gonna beat my team by hoping Focus Blast hits most of the time. Right

-----
Sure T-bolt takes care of both the walls, so maybe I should go for an Earthquake on Forry and use him against electric threats, or prehaps switch one to Magnezone to give more of a neutralization effect

The Magnezone idea is good because you rarely get any electrics using thunderbolt, usually special sweepers. Has anyone else got electric?
What are the Other Types?

Well if they normally come from the Sp Sweepers, would it be a good idea to give Magnezone Mirror Coat? Probably a +Sp Def nature and a decent chunk of EVs as well just to make sure I can get a mirror coat off

But yeah if I do switch to Magnezone I would like ideas on it, as well as who to replace in my team (possibly Scizor)

[email protected]/Focus Sash
-Thunderbolt
-Mirror Coat
-Thunderwave
-Tri Attack

As you can tell I don't really have a lot of knowledge when it comes to Magnezone

Magnezone with agility BPd would be a monster X.x Give it magnet rise :x

Magnezone used magnet rise!
[insert poke here] used Earthquake!
It didnt affect magnezone..
Magnezone used tri attack!
Pain.

The reason why steel teams are a little bit obsolete this generation is because of Infernape, and since it is one of the most common pkmn in battles...

You probably need a special wall. Probopass.

As for the weaknesses, you can just switch out.

Every mono team is obselete, but this is just for fun. And yes Infernape is my teams worst nightmare due to his STABs being super effective against all my team. But then again Agility BPed Empoleon might be able to nail a Surf before being KOed

Yes, but with no pokemon that can resist his weaknesses doesn't really sound like a good idea to me (Skarmory can, but what if it is out already)

Maybe, but that would only work if Scizor is holding a focus shash.

Probopass is supposed to be a Special Wall. most Fighting Type and Ground type Moves are physical. So Probopass is a good choice.

Your Gengar.

"Gengar @Choice scarf
Levitate
Timid (+SPD -ATK)
EVS:252 SPD,SPATK and 6 Defense
Focus Blast
Thunderbolt
Psychic
Shadow Ball"

Gengar vs Metagross

Gengar used Focus Blast

Metagross used Stabbed Zen Headbutt.

Metagross wins.

Bronzorg is worth good considersation. The same goes with Steelix and Jirachi.

Though Bronzorg would be best out of them.

Bronzorg @ Light Clay
Impish/Brave
EV" 252 HP 200 Def 52 Atk
-Gyro Ball
-Trick Room
-Explosion
-Light Screen
