Yup, I need help. Moved again, or retyped...
Anywhos...
I need a sixth pokemon to complement my team. I think I might want to add a Staraptor, but I don't know yet. Trying to chain for a shiny Starly right now...

My team is...

Umbreon
Double Team
Last Resort
Moonlight
Baton Pass

Tyranitar
Dragon Dance
Rock Slide
Crunch
Earthquake

Metagross
Psychic
Meteor Mash
Protect
Light Screen

Gliscor
Baton Pass
Swords Dance
Earthquake
Aerial Ace

Weezing
Haze
Double Team
Explosion
Sludge Bomb


I need some assistance. This is the Staraptor I hope to add, if just.

Staraptor
Brave Bird
Close Combat
Roost
Giga Impact

Someone gave me a little help earlier, and I'm considering it, but I also want to see what everyone else has to say. If you don't think I should add Staraptor or change my team, attacks, etc. tell me. Also, natures are something I could use help with.

You assistance is crucial to my victory!

Baton Pass

This moveset needs some help. You didn't post the nature or EV's. If you want to baton pass something, Baton Pass Wish or something of that sort. Double Team is h4x. I don't know much about Umbreons, but I know you need to add Wish somewhere here.

Tyranitar
Dragon Dance
Rock Slide
Crunch
Earthquake

You tried but missed the nail's head. Rock Slide is a no no when Stone Edge is a much better alternative. If you want something really strong use the following moveset.

[email protected] Leftovers
Jolly
Sand Stream
252 Spe, 252 Att, 6 HP
Crunch/Taunt
Stone Edge
Dragon Dance
Earthquake

After a Dragon Dance, it can outspeed and KO many things with ease. I use it, and it works pretty nicely. Or go for the awesome Tyraniboah set.

[email protected] Leftovers
Quiet
Sand Stream
252 HP, 168 Sp Att, 24 Spe, 64 Att (or switch Attack with Speed, whichever)
Substitute
Focus Punch
Dark Pulse/Crunch
Ice Beam/Thunderbolt


Metagross
Psychic
Meteor Mash
Protect
Light Screen

Light screen and Protect are pretty meh. Walls use these two moves usually, so ditch them for something else. Preferably EQ and Bullet Punch. Psychic is pretty weak this gen, I usually use Agiligross

[email protected] Life Orb/Leftovers
Adamant
Clear Body
152 HP, 252 Att, 104 Spd
Agility
EQ
Meteor Mash
Thunderpunch/Explosion

Gliscor
Baton Pass
Swords Dance
Earthquake
Aerial Ace

No Roost on Gliscor is almost a sin. Maybe you should get rid of AA for something like Agility if you want to Baton Pass it. Even though flyers can wall you, just BP to Tyranitar.

Weezing
Haze
Double Team
Explosion
Sludge Bomb

If you want a Defense Oriented Weezing, give it the following set:

Weezing @ Leftovers/Black Sludge
Brave
Levitate
252 HP, 252 Def, 6 Spe
Sludge Bomb/Flamethrower
Haze
Will O Wisp
Pain Split

I reccomend this over the Offense Weezing.

I need some assistance. This is the Staraptor I hope to add, if just.

Staraptor
Brave Bird
Close Combat
Roost
Giga Impact

No, no Giga Impact...At all. No Roost either, it's way too fragile. I'd rather have the following set:

Staraptor @Choice Scarf
Adamant
Intimidate
60 HP, 252 Att, 196 Spe
Brave Bird
Close Combat
Return/Pursuit
U-Turn



Someone gave me a little help earlier, and I'm considering it, but I also want to see what everyone else has to say. If you don't think I should add Staraptor or change my team, attacks, etc. tell me. Also, natures are something I could use help with.

Hope I help.

Thanks, I'm gonna try out the Weezing. You gave me a lot of doors to open and I humbly thank you.

No problems. I get everything from Smogon University, go there, and you'll become much better.

Except it's called Smogon, not Smogon University. But yeah, it's helpful if you're learning the ropes.

I'm too tired to pick this team apart bit by bit, but King Tyranitar got most of the stuff right. I guess.
