Okay well.. I'm pretty much new to this stuff, those are the first 4 Pokemon I've EV trained and such, and I haven't exactly had a competitive battle cause my wireless router is a piece of crap, but depending on what physical sweepers are used the most, which physical wall would be able to counter a lot of them?

You may want to use 2 physical walls to take care of most threats. I'd get a fighting resist or immunity (Dusknoir or Tomb work well for the latter) Gliscor and Weezing also serve as fighting resists, I prefer Weezing to be honest.

To deal with Weezing's weakness, you could use something like Bronzong, or Metagross since the latter can Reflect AND hurt it's foes.

Dusknoir sounds good... Would you be able to give me a moveset please? And I not too sure about my other empty slot.. Umbreon seems like a good mixed wall, so what about that? Also, would my Milotic be classifed as a physical/special/mixed wall from the EV training that I've done on it?

Umbreon cannot wall any of today's sweepers to be honest, and if you're interested in Dusknoir:

Dusknoir @ Leftovers
Impish
252 HP/252 Def/6 Att
Will O Wisp
Pain Split
Fire Punch
Ice Punch/Thunderpunch/Shadow Sneak

Really? I thought it was a very good mixed wall, oh well.

Which of the moves in the 4th slot would you recommend?

Umbreon is used to Mean Look + Baton Pass mostly. There are better mixed wall choices now.

I feel that Milotic w/ HP Electric can handle Gyara anyway, so Shadow Sneak would be nice at picking off those enemy Azelf's and Gengar's.

Ohh, okay. Thanks a lot. :classic:
 
I just realized your Milotic has no HP Electric. You may want to opt for Tpunch now.

I guess so. I'm still wondering if its a mixed/special/physical wall from the EV training I've done to it, do you know?
 
Well, can you tell us how you EV'd it?

It says the EVs way down there... But I'll just restate it.
Milotic @ Bold
252 DEF/252 HP/252 SP. ATK

Also, could someone give me a Raichu set? (Preferably without Focus Punch, I seriously hate that move).

Thanks, I have yet to explore a Reversal set but I think I'll go with the first one...

EDIT: Wait, could you please explain to me why Naive?

Naive because Timid and Modest, (the two most common natures on Raichu) lower the Atk stat. This increases Sp. Atk still, but leaves the Atk stat untouched, meaning reversal is more effective. You'll still be wanting to hit from the special side, but reversal likes special walls like Blissey.

Well I'm planning on using the first moveset Vance suggested, Nasty Plot-Thunderbolt-Grass Knot-HP Ice, so using Modest/Timid won't be a problem right?
 
Also know I'd reccomend to use BB on Raichu since it can hit Blissey for a little bit of damage.
 
I'm new to this and could actually miss out a few basic points and counters but anyway I was thinking of a BL team and I thought I'd lead with Typhlosion no only as he is my favourite pokemon but he could beat some things.

Smogon has a set but it wouldnt really be a good idea for me just to completely copy that set.

I stuck a few ideas of my own in and I'm quite sure I'm going to regret that.

Typhlosion @ Choice Scarf
Mild/Rash
144 Atk / 252 SpA / 112 Spe (Didnt really want to mess with the EVs)

Eruption
Focus Punch
Fire Blast (Okay the Smogon set has overheat but that lowers my SpA, this is slightly less accurate and less power, bad judgement?)
Earthquake / HP Ice

As you see I havent changed much for myself but thats probably why I need the help.
 
I like that set, but don't worry, everyone copies Smogon.

If you want, you could use either EQ or FPunch and make room for HP Ice, because Dragons wall you even if you use EQ/FPunch/Eruption/Overheat, etc...
