Will-o-wisp halves an opponent attack stat, you can shove more intp SpDef which it can struggle with.

Immunity

What kinda boost does Muscle band offer? If its something like 10% you're better off with life orb and putting up with recoil. Good set otherwise.

Raichu (male) @ Wide Lens/Focus Sash

Fair enough. Bear in mind that you arent gonna be surviving much off those defences, so NP is gonna need some prediction.

Nice, i haven't seen regular scyther in a while

Overall a good team, but im worried about the defensive side of things. 2 dual-walls is tempting (I used to use 3 lol) but ive discovered that two dedicated walls work better. Still, live and learn. If it works for you, keep it. You could do with a spinner too, seeing as scyther and raichu both take 25% off stealth rock.

I was actually thinking about replacing raichu with a Boltbeam starmie. If someone could reccomend natures, stats, sets and such for that it would be amazing.

172 HP / 120 SP.ATT / 216 SPEED
Timid Nature
Trait : natural Cure
- Rapid Spin
- Thunderbolt /ice Beam
- Recover
- Surf

Is standard, if you dont want it to spin just put ice beam >> Rapid spin, you need a spinner though. So choose between Ice Beam for dragons etc and T-Bolt for Gyarados etc.

Evs give it 352 speed, enough to outspeed max speed timid Gengar and max speed infernape.


As for Empoleon 252 hp / 252 sp.def / 6 sp.att on evs @Calm Nature.


EDIT : Also no reliable physical wall = fail, so get on NOAW !!! lol

Actually, Scyther takes 50% damage from SR, as Bug is also weak to Rock.

This team really does need both a Physical Wall and a Spinner (as all teams do).

Actually Raichu only takes 12.5%, but Scyther takes 50%.

Seriously running a Scyther with no rapid spinner is not smart. Donphan or Forretress turn into your best bets for walling since you need a spinner. Starmie works too but you must be careful of Weavile.
