Yanmega 2hko's Quagsire and the rest of he team cannot switch into it.

Extremespeed actually does pitiful damage to yanmega it doesnt even 2hko.

It will only 3HKO Yanmega? This team may need Registeel instead of Quagsire or something.
EDIT: Rest+Sleep Talk Regirock could be useful instead of Quagsire as well.

I don't like Registeel to be honest, i've used him and he doesn't suit this team. Yanmega is a threat and I might put SR on Sandslash but as of the moment I still need to test this team =/

As I said, if Altraia gets a DD in, I'll shut him down with sleep.

Swellow is a threat...I'll do some testing and see what happens :D

They switch out, something else absorbs the Sleep, switch back in Altaria, DD, death.
You need Stealth Rock on your team.
 
haha i run the same Glaceon set. it's a beast. one suggestion, however. drop water pulse for yawn. it's a lot more handy than water pulse as STAB Specs Ice Beam does more damage anyway. mine actually has hp fight for probobass/bastiodon, the latter gaining popularity for some reason... stupid stall ._.

i'd try something a little different on scyther. i'd drop x-scissor for sub and instead of life orb give it salac. this way, you can shield it from priority and scarfers. after switching in on Srock, it only takes a sub with 12 HP investment to activate the salac berry. i mean, honestly, scyther obviously isn't fit for switching in and out. giving it a bit of assurance against prepared counters will give you more opportunities for a sweep.

only other thing i can suggest is dropping waterfall on quag for earthquake. quag hits other waters harder and has better coverage w/ both eq and ip anyway.

but yeah, cacturne would give this team trouble lol. sandslash is very cool but having two defensive tanks with grass weaks is going to hurt you. rapid spin is so overrated =/
 
HP electric is useful for all the Water-types running around.
Dropping X-Scissor on Scyther leaves him at the mercy of Psychic-types.
I'll consider dropping Waterfall for EQ
Thnks for the rate :D
 
aerial ace does hard damage on it's own. what psychic do you know outspeeds scyther and sets reflect or has a very strong defensive stat in UU? your only concern would be rock polish Solrock. luckily, i am the only person who will probably ever try it lol, who gets nuetral from brick break anyway (and who might end up using explosion). scarf psychics are probably going to trick/paralyze/burn you, which is what sub is super handy for. focus sashers w/ reflect (if these exist) will just result in you brick breaking them to death and breaking the barrier.

the only psychic who is a relative threat to scizor is scarf Xatu (which i've never seen/used) and aerial ace does more damage to it than X-Scissor anyway.

so yeah, i really don't see any added benefit of X-Scissor as opposed to sub.
 
I should've taken your advice of EQ over Waterfall Samson.

X-Scissor have a few benefits and I like running Smogon's set, it just works for me though I am keen to try your SubSalac Scyther maybe on another team 8D
