    I have been playing Battle Frontier a lot recently, and I need some suggestions for my team. I am willing to replace all the Pokemon if yall think necessary, I just ask you that you have mercy on me.

    I would never have thought about making a thread like this, but Zapdos is about to drive me crazy in every area except Factory, of course, so if could replace that I'd appreciate it.

    Oh yeah, and EVs are sorta a problem for Suicune and Zapdos since they can only be caught at level 50, and it would take to long to get them to lvl 100 right now. Metagross is odd, I can retrain a different Metagross to get perfect EVs, but currently, I can't remember how this current Metagross was trained. I could give you its current stats if that would help, just let me know.

    Current team:

    Metagross @ Shell Bell
    Trait: Clear Body
    Lax Nature (+Def, -Sp. Def)
    - Earthquake
    - Rock Slide
    - Meteor Mash
    - Sludge Bomb

    Zapdos @ Lum Berry
    Trait: Pressure
    Quirky Nature (-) and I also have a Calm Nature (+Sp. Def, -Atk.)
    - Thunderbolt
    - Drill Peck
    - Thunderwave
    - Light Screen

    ^Remember, I'd like to get rid of this one^

    Suicune @ Leftovers
    Trait: Pressure
    Careful Nature (+ Sp. Def, -Sp. Atk)
    - Surf
    - Ice Beam
    - Rest
    - Calm Mind

    Alright! Give me some suggestions, and be nice while doing it. Also keep in mind that someone helped me build this so it wasn't exactly all my ideas.
     
    Metagross @ Leftovers
    Adamant
    76 HP / 229 Atk / 56 Def / 92 Spd / 56 Sp Def
    - Agility
    - Earthquake
    - Explosion
    - Meteor Mash

    OR

    Metagross @ Choice Band
    Adamant
    252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
    - Earthquake
    - Explosion
    - Meteor Mash
    - Shadow Ball

    Alakazam @ Leftovers
    Timid
    20 HP / 220 Spd / 224 Sp Atk / 40 Sp Def
    - Calm Mind
    - Fire Punch
    - Ice Punch / Thunderpunch
    - Psychic

    Your Suicune has got an absolutely terrible nature, so just get rid of it alltogether.

    Milotic @ Leftovers
    Bold / Calm
    148 HP / 104 Def / 16 Spd / 184 Sp Atk / 56 Sp Def
    - Surf
    - Ice Beam
    - Recover / Rest
    - Hypnosis / Sleep Talk / Mirror Coat

    I guess that could work.

    CB on a full physical Metagross, please. Too bad about the nature, although it could be worse.

    Mmmmyees...I can see why you'd want to get rid of this one. See my comment outside of the quote for suggestions.

    Suicune @ Leftovers
    Trait: Pressure
    Careful Nature (+ Sp. Def, -Sp. Atk)
    - Surf
    - Ice Beam/Sleep Talk/Toxic
    - Rest
    - Calm Mind

    Standard Calmcune, although since you've got a -SAtk nature you could try improving its staying power by letting it STalk away. Toxic is also pretty cool against water types like Vaporeon or Lapras since they can shrug of Ice Beams even with Calm Mind on.

    Alright! Give me some suggestions, and be nice while doing it. Also keep in mind that someone helped me build this so it wasn't exactly all my ideas.

    For the special sweeper, I'd normally say Starmie, but since you've already got Suicune on the team...maybe one of these?

    Ludicolo @ Lum Berry
    Trait: Swift Swim
    Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
    Surf
    Ice Beam
    Giga Drain
    Rain Dance

    Standard sweeping Ludi. Because it's half-grass it doesn't have Cune's weaknesses, and since it has a decent SDef it can also switch into some stuff.

    or

    Jynx @ Lum Berry
    Trait: Oblivious
    Timid Nature (+Speed, -SAtk)
    Ice Beam
    Psychic/Calm Mind
    Lovely Kiss
    Substitute

    one of my favourite spec. sweepers. It can't take hits too well, but it screws over special walls by putting them to sleep, subing up and then boosting its SAtk to the max (if you're using CM). With a CM or two its subs can even take some special attacks at which point it's basically gg time for your opponent unless they've got a roaring Suicune lurking in their team.

    or possibly

    Alakazam @ Lum Berry
    Trait: Synchronize
    Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
    Psychic
    Fire Punch
    Ice Punch/Thunderpunch
    Calm Mind

    Hope some of that helped. Also, if you go for Jynx or Alakazam then it's probably a good idea to put them into the lead slot since they aren't very good at switching in.

    Hope some of that helped. ^^

    By the way, House of Numbers: don't forget about Stalker Milo. It's far more efficient as a wall because of its status immunity and shameless Marvel Scale exploit:

    Milotic @ Leftovers
    Trait: Marvel Scale
    Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
    Surf
    Toxic
    Rest
    Sleep Talk

    Some say Ice Beam over Toxic, I say never. Toxic is awesome because it hurts bulky waters. Besides, STalker Milo loves to drag battles out so why not take a move that benefits from just that? :3

    Your EVs are pretty off, House of Numbers.

    Agiligross:
    EVs: 104 HP / 252 Atk / 56 Def / 96 Spd

    CBGross:
    EVs: 108 HP / 216 Atk / 56 Def / 128 Spd

    Alakazam:
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk

    Milotic:
    EVs: 214 HP / 252 Def / 44 SAtk

    If you're using Metagross, you'll need a Ground resist and special sweeper. Gengar can do both.

    Gengar @Lum Berry
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
    Modest/Timid Nature
    -Thunderbolt
    -Ice Punch
    -Hypnosis
    -Giga Drain

    You will have Houndoom problems though, so fill your last spot with Milotic (RestTalk version).

    Alternatively, you can use Salamence as Metagross and Salamence complement each other perfectly.

    Salamence @ Choice Band
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
    Adamant Nature
    - Earthquake
    - Fire Blast
    - Aerial Ace
    - Rock Slide

    However, you will have trouble with Bulky Waters, so get a Ludicolo.

    Ludicolo @ Leftovers
    EVs: 252 HP / 96 Def / 160 SDef
    Calm Nature
    - Leech Seed
    - Protect
    - Surf
    - Toxic
