Well no wonder why, you're leading with Agiligross >.> Focus sash is a big no-no on something with 130 base Defense. this team has nowhere close to the proper support for this thing, I'd either run a different set or scrap it.

If it was Electivire would be UU. In other words, run the real Mixed Electivire (Fthrower/Tbolt/CC/HP Ice) or physical Vire.

The above sentence...baffles me. Either way, it's probably fine, but none of your walls can heal.

That won't be happening compadre :0 HP Electric is probably more useful than HP Grass.

The real problem is that this team can't take any repeated hits, even those it takes very well. This is because your walls can't heal. Blastoise, Claydol...they can't recover off damage. Weezing's recovery is all a bit shaky, and status ruins it.

Considering you don't have a cleric, I would replace Blastoise with Milotic. It takes status extremely well and Claydol can spin for you (over SR). It can also learn Recover.

With Metagross, most of your basic physical walling need are about covered, so I would urge you to get a better special wall than Claydol or Blastoise. Snorlax, Articuno, Regice, Blissey, Cresselia...a lot of pokemon work. Pick whichever you like.

I would replace Vire for your special wall, it's a dead weight here in all honesty and you need a special wall a lot.

Also, I'm quite worried about Dugtrio, who traps and kills half of your team. With that, I suggest choosing a special wall that isn't totally owned by it.

Run CB/CS if you intend to keep him as lead.

Consider Haze or just changing altogether. You don't seem to need a Spinner with the current team.

Actually, Anti, I ran this for a while and it only ever ran into problems with Swampert and Hippowdon. I think I put HP [Grass] over Ice Punch and it worked.
Mind you, I had Skarm and Vaporeon for it to switch from. You only have Blastoise.

Please, not Sludge Bomb. Explosion is fine, if not, HP ICE? Pain Split is less effective if you are draining health with WoW.

Considering you have no SR weaknesses(3 resist), 4 Immunities to Tox Spikes, and nothing particularly fragile, I doubt you even need any. Just get a Cleric instead.

You might want to redo the whole thing.

That Vire is walled by more than that. Forretress, Bronzong, Donphan, Weezing...they all hammer that Electivire VERY easily. What's ironic is that CB Thunderpunch 2HKOs Skarmory, that's a much better answer than a below average mixed set IMO. My real issue is that it still can't help this team much...it just doesn't. Even better versions don't help...Vire just isn't made for this team.

Also, I would agree with Archer that a spinner actually isn't as necessary for this team as it is on others. Your team lols at Stealth Rock. Still, you'll want to put in a lot more healing options, or sweepers of all kinds will walk over this team.

Problem with Physical vire, is that it has no stat up move to actually sweep, i sometimes use Screech or Meditate to suffice. It causes switches so you get plenty of opportunities to use it, it works ok, and beats Cressy, but dont expect to be "Zomg metagame raep !111", It still has problems with some of the more defensive ground pokemon though. Ill run some calcs for you all to see what Screech ice Punch does on Donphan, Hippowdon etc.

I strongly disagree, Gyarados can't sweep in the early game. All it does IMO is let your opponent know that they should be sure their Gyarados counter doesn't die, and it can't even sweep. IMO it is THE most overrated lead in today's metagame and is one of the worst in general.

You don't have many good leads on this team though, so my advice is just to use what you like best for it.

HypnoGar could make a nice lead. You really need some status support if you expect those walls to survive. WishBliss with Heal Bell/Aromatherapy would be good and maybe if you can fit in a PHazer. Donphan w/roar? Or you can just give Weezing Haze.

Quick Team Analysis
-------------------------
> Phys Sweeper - CBGross{Lead}
> Spec Sweeper - Heatran
> Phys Wall - Weezing {Hazer?}
> Spec Wall - Blissey {Wish and Cleric}
> Mixed Wall - Claydol {Spinner/Reflect}
> Physical Tank - Donphan {PHazer?}

@Anti - Though I should mention that CB Blissey's Double-Edge, with max damage, can OHKO Dugtrio. Lol.

EDIT: Check my post count - Two Thirds Evil...

Heal Bell/Aromatherapy with Wish on Blissey is illegal I'm afraid :(

Claydol @Leftovers
Impish, Levitate
252 HP, 252 Def, 6 Atk
-Power Trick
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Explosion / Substitute / Stealth Rock


Claydol is the second bulkiest user of Power Trick, after Shuckle. What Claydol offers over Shuckle is mainly a more reasonable Spd and the ability to survive more than five minutes after using Power Trick.

Earthquake and Stone Edge give it a fair level of type coverage, and the fact that Power Trick switches your actual Atk and Def stat means you can push everything you've got into Def and tank to a certain degree if the situation calls for it, but what really makes this set work is sheer surprise. Claydol tends to draw in Pokemon like Metagross and Tyranitar in OU, and Swellow and Absol in UU. While Claydol can take a Pursuit with a base power of 40, none of those Pokemon like a Power Tricked Earthquake or Stone Edge to the face.

Claydol has a number of options for the last slot. Substitute is the most practical, as it'll prevent opponents from using Will o Wisp or Hypnosis on Claydol, and might protect him from an otherwise fatal special attack. Stealth Rock is useful mainly because it makes the opponent think you're running a support set, while Explosion earns a mention for being an extremely powerful move of last resort.
