Okay, I'm our resident strategy bonehead, ACC, and I'm here to ask for you to please yell at me for being such a freaking boneheaded idiot- ahem, I mean rate my Netbattle team. (Yes, I, ACC, finally have Netbattle- only, I'm called Incumbus there. Those looking for an easy win may feel free to challenge me.)

Anyway, I have a team that has lost more then it has won, but is still (fairly) decent, since I am using only Pokemon/Move combinations that existed in R/S since I can't figure out how to switch version compatibility. (Anyone want to tell me how this works?) Well, here they are- my team of idiots. (Feel free to suggest a new one for the squad.)

Sceptile (Female, nickname Sakura)@Lum Berry
Nature:Timid
Evs: 4 hp, 252 Special attack, 252 Speed.

Moveset:
Attract
Leech Seed
Leaf Blade
Dragon Claw

A basic sweeping Sceptile- I wanted it to be a combo Subseeder/Sweeper, but since Substitute isn't avaiable due to my earlier problem, I make do with Attract. I don't like the setup either.

Metagross (Nickname Genderless)@Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
Evs: Atk 152, Def 131, SpDef 227

Moveset:
Agility
Earthquake
Meteor Mash
Psychic

Milotic (Female, Nickname Uber)@Leftovers
Nature: Modest
Evs: HP 4, Def 255, Sp. Def 251

Moveset:
Surf
Ice Beam
Recover
Toxic

I made the nature modest to give this one a fighting chance. I love Uber, but she is willing to change, and so am I if anyone wants to give me a better moveset.

Flygon (male, nickname ROAR!)@Leftovers
Nature:Hardy
Evs: Speed 252, HP 4, Atk 252

Moveset:
HP rock
Sandstorm
Earthquake
Flamethrower

Umm... no comment.

Skarmory (female, nickname Evil Shiny One)@Leftovers
Nature: Bold
Evs: 6 Hp, 252 Def, 252 Speed

Moveset:
Toxic
Spikes
Drill Peck
Roar

Roarspiker. Not much else to say.

Dusclops (female, nickname Mrs. Death)@Leftovers
Nature:Bold
Evs: 6 Hp, 252 Def, 252 Sp. Def

Moveset:
Will O' the Wisp
Mean Look
Confuse Ray
Night Shade

Pull 'em in with Mean Look, confuse 'em, then hit 'em with night shade. I should probably replace will o' the wisp with a chesto rest, but I'm feeling a bit lazy at the moment.

Okay, now rate/flame away!

If you were gonna stall with Attract, you could've at least used sub. Better yet, just get rid of Attract and Dragon Claw, give it HP Ice/Fire and Substitute, add leftovers/Petaya Berry, and call it a day.

Metagross (Nickname Genderless)@Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
Evs: Atk 152, Def 131, SpDef 227

Moveset:
Agility
Earthquake
Meteor Mash
Psychic

Why you'd make it Adamant and give it Psychic, I do not understand. Though Psychic has its uses on the right Metagross set, Agility doesnt really further its cause as Metagross doesnt really special sweep that well. Use Explosion or Rock Slide over Psychic. Y.our EVs are not divisible by 4. Use the "Snap" checkbox

Milotic (Female, Nickname Uber)@Leftovers
Nature: Modest
Evs: HP 4, Def 255, Sp. Def 251

Moveset:
Surf
Ice Beam
Recover
Toxic

Modest doesnt give Milo a "fighting chance" as it wont get a "chance" to attack without the proper EVs. Not to mention Milotic doesn't really damage any of the special walls/counters coming in to really try to give it a +SAtk nature. You'll need 212+ EVs in HP and a Bold Nature to make Milotic work properly. Consider Hypnosis over toxic.

Flygon (male, nickname ROAR!)@Leftovers
Nature:Hardy
Evs: Speed 252, HP 4, Atk 252

Moveset:
HP rock
Sandstorm
Earthquake
Flamethrower

Umm... no comment.

Can't really fathom why you bother with Sandstorm. You can keep Leftovers and use Substitute in that slot, or you can switch HP Rock for Bug, put Rock Slide over Sandstorm, and slap a Choice Band on it. Adamant or Jolly nature please. Please note that Rock Slide is generally a better choice than HP Rock, and you'll more than likely fare better with Fire Blast over Flamethrower

Skarmory (female, nickname Evil Shiny One)@Leftovers
Nature: Bold
Evs: 6 Hp, 252 Def, 252 Speed

Moveset:
Toxic
Spikes
Drill Peck
Roar

Roarspiker. Not much else to say.

[b]Max HP before you do anything else to its EVs. You dont really need a mukload of speed unless you're running Taunt tbh. I also kinda snickered that you're running Bold Nature while using Drill Peck. Go with Impish. Toxic would probably be good for a TSS team, but since you have no Tyranitar, use Substitute.

Dusclops (female, nickname Mrs. Death)@Leftovers
Nature:Bold
Evs: 6 Hp, 252 Def, 252 Sp. Def

Moveset:
Will O' the Wisp
Mean Look
Confuse Ray
Night Shade

Pull 'em in with Mean Look, confuse 'em, then hit 'em with night shade. I should probably replace will o' the wisp with a chesto rest, but I'm feeling a bit lazy at the moment.

Clops's HP is too pitiful not to Max out first. Do so, and use Shadow Ball over Night Shade and either Seismic Toss/Focus Punch over Confuse Ray. Pain Split is the general choice for regaining lost HP so put that over Mean Look. Annoyer sets rarely work I'm afraid.

Okay, now rate/flame away!
My main concern is that you neglect HP on tanks and walls. You should know the importance of how HP helps out your defenses and remake your EVs accordingly. My second concern is that Magneton can single-handedly take out your team, especially if its one of those cooler ones that use HP Ice and are behind a sub when Flygon comes in. With that in mind, Zapdos and Raikou do the same thing. Since you have alot of Toxic in your movesets and a good number of sandstorm resistors, you should try Tyranitar in your team for starters. After that you can try replacing a party member with a special wall to take on some of the electric types that Flygon cant handle.

Also use File -> Export to Text while you're in the Team Builder.

Umm... you weren't listening, were you. I said that I couldn't change my Team Builder's compatibility, and as a result am limited to Pokemon/attacks that exist in Ruby and Sapphire. Unless you are willing to tell me exaactly how, half of the moves you suggested I can't use. I would though- sounds like a good set.

To change compatability, simply go you your Team Builder, click on "versions" at the top, and choose "Full Advance".

Or Mod: Smogon Netbattle if you want to use XD moves.

'Kay, will do, thanks. I'll be away for a bit, but when I return, I will have a tougher team with me!
