Sceptile @ Life Orb
Leaf Blade (for power)
Giga Drain (to heal)
Aerial Ace (u dont have a flying move in the whole team)
Iron Tail

Nice.Physical Sweeper?

Metagross @ Quick Claw
Meteor Mash
Hammer Arm as someone told me Psychic is waste on Metgross
Earthquake
Explosion

I take it this is your physical wall.

Gyarados @
Dragon Dance
Aqua Tail
Hydro Pump

Earthquake
Surf
Ice Beam
Facade

Garchomp @ Leftovers
Sword Dance
Crunch
Earthquake
Dragon Rush

Blastoise @ ???

Alakazam @ (your choice)
Modest

EVs:252sp.atk,252spd,4hp
Psychic
Energy Ball
Shadow Ball
Fire/Ice/Thunderpunch

This is a good spec. sweeper

Here's another
[email protected] (Your Choice)
Rash/Timid
EVs:same as Kazam
Flamethrower (accuracy over power)
Ancientpower (you will need to breed for this move)
EQ
Dragon Pulse

Or try this one (actually more of a mix. sweep)

Salamence
Rash/Timid
EVs: yet again, same as Kazam
EQ
Dragon Pulse
Shadow Claw
Flamethrower

And here's an good spec, wall

(from Dark_Azelf) [email protected]
40 HP / 252 DEF / 216 S.DEF
Calm nature
Trait : natural Cure
- Thunderwave
- Seismic Toss

Remember, just pick one of the special / mix. sweepers. I am only rating this becausei have been given good advice by others.

Kiddo, your advice still isn't very good...

Flying type moves aren't really necessary unless you really fear Heracross. And even then, Aerial Ace is too weak to really be worth a spot on Sceptile.

Psychic is a waste on Meta, but Hammer Arm still isn't very good- Fighting covers most of the same types as Ground, which he already has (EQ). Pursuit or Bullet Punch would be better options.

Quote:

Alakazam @ Life Orb/ Choice Specs
Modest
EVs:252sp.atk,252spd,4hp
Psychic
Energy Ball
Focus Blast
Calm Mind/ Trick

Elemental Punches? Why would you do that? This is fourth gen, meaning those attacks are physical now- and Alakazam's Atk stat is horrible. Go with Calm Mind or Trick, depending on your item. And Focus Blast is a much better choice over Shadow Ball, as FB takes care of most Dark types that like to switch in and give Ally hell.

Here's another
[email protected] Choice Specs
Modest /Timid
EVs:same as Kazam
Flamethrower /Overheat
Air Slash
Focus Blast
Dragon Pulse

Ancient Power only has 60 Base Power, why would you use it? And Earthquake doesn't really have a place on a Special sweeping set, especially when Charizard already has access to Focus Blast.

Salamence @ Life Orb
Rash/Mild
EVs: yet again, same as Kazam
Brick Break
Draco Meteor
Crunch/ Dragon Claw/ Roost
Flamethrower

First, why are you investing in only one Atk stat on a mixed set? You should divide your EVs between both Atks and Spd. Also, Salamence prefers Atk-boosting natures to Spd-boosting ones.

Anyway, Draco Meteor goes on ANY Salamence set that uses Special attacks- it's too powerful to pass up. Earthquake isn't much good, as its main job is to hit Steels- which Flamethrower/ Fire Blast already does well enough. Shadow Claw doesn't really help Sally much, as it's overshadowed by Crunch, which has better coverage. Dragon Claw and Roost are better, too.


And here's an good spec, wall

(from Dark_Azelf) [email protected]
40 HP / 252 DEF / 216 S.DEF
Calm nature
Trait : natural Cure
- Thunderwave
- Seismic Toss
- Aromatherapy
- Softboiled

Yeah, this is good. Mainly because it's the (new) standard.
Remember, rate with knowledge- know what you're doing. And don't just suggest sets because 'someone told you' it was good.

And anyone else, don't call me a hypocrite for copy-pasting Smogon's sets.

I think a ParaFlinch Togekiss might slot nicely with your team.

[email protected]
Trait: Serene Grace important
Bold Nature (+Def -Atk)
EVs: 252 HP 252 Def 4 Spe
Thunder Wave
Air Slash
Aura Sphere
Roost/Wish

This thing is the meaning of annoying. Important that you use Serene Grace or this phails. Paralyze them, and STAB Air Slash and watch them flinch away or be unable to move due to Paralysis. Aura Sphere is for any Rock/Steel/Ice threats, and Roost or Wish to heal if you happen to take any damage.

This is just an idea for an addition to your team. I think it would slot nicely.
