    Ignore the crappy name for the title :(

    Anyway, my name is Mizaki guys. I've been a competitive battler for a bit last year but some bad events that happened made me leave. Beachy, though wasn't having any of it, so here I am back again. ;D

    This team is more to celebrate the release of Johto so I might aswell have a team with only Johto Pokemans :). Keep in mind this is an OU team for Shoddybattle.

    Teh Team


    Skarmory @ Leftovers
    Keen Eye
    Nature: Impish
    EVs: 252 HP / 64 Atk / 176 Def / 16 Spe
    - Brave Bird
    - Roost
    - Stealth Rock
    - Toxic / Whirlwind

    Classic Skarm really. I'm not sure about the last move though. I'm leaning more towards Whirlwind though.

    Kingdra @ Life Orb
    Sniper
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk / 24 SpA / 232 Spe
    - Dragon Dance
    - Outrage

    - Substitute

    Always loved Kingdra. No real comments bout this Poke.

    Celebi @ Leftovers
    Natural Cure
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 Spe
    - Leech Seed / Thunder Wave
    - Recover
    - Hidden Power Fire
    - Grass Knot

    Need some help with this Pokemon. I'm not exactly sure about the movesets.

    Umbreon @ Leftovers
    Synchronize
    Nature: Careful
    EVs: 252 HP / 92 SpD / 164 Spe
    - Mean Look

    - Wish
    - Taunt

    Passbreon. Still not sure about some parts.


    Herracross @ Choice Scarf
    Guts
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
    - Close Combat
    - Toxic
    - Stone Edge
    - Megahorn

    Choice Scarf Herracross. Yay.

    Tyranitar @ Choice Band
    Sand Stream
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 176 HP / 252 Atk / 80 Spe
    - Pursuit
    - Crunch
    - Stone Edge
    - Aqua Tail

    Choice Band Tyrannitar. Nuff said~


    So yeah, that's pretty much my team. As you can see, I probaby need some help so I hope you guys can grant that.

    Good, but you can use 24 Speed EVs and take away some from Defense, that way you can outrun Tyranitar that try to outrun Skarmory that try to outrun Tyranitar. X3

    Also, don't use this as a lead, it loses to almost all of them (and with Fire Blast being on a lot things...). I guess you can keep it as a lead, it just won't be very effective currently.
    Kingdra @ Life Orb
    Sniper
    Nature: Adamant

    - Dragon Dance
    - Outrage

    No need for SpA EVs if you don't use them. :3 Maybe something like Leftovers could work over LO, because TTar's SS, LO, AND Sub, will kill Kingdra way too fast.

    Celebi @ Leftovers

    Good.

    Umbreon @ Leftovers

    To be honest, Umbreon is just set up fodder in OU. It really just asks for Salamence, Gyarados, Tyranitar, Lucario, etc to come in and just set up. :[ I don't know why Umbreon has been a trend to use in OU lately...

    Herracross @ Choice Scarf
    Guts

    EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe

    Cool.

    Tyranitar @ Choice Band
    Sand Stream
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 176 HP / 252 Atk / 80 Spe
    - Pursuit
    - Crunch
    - Stone Edge
    - Aqua Tail

    Nice, just use 92 Speed EVs (those are really outdated), they outrun the new Skarmory spread (16 Speed EVs).

    So yeah, that's pretty much my team. As you can see, I probaby need some help so I hope you guys can grant that.

    Your team is really weak to DD Salamence. :x It can come in on everything bar Kingdra and Tyranitar (unless it is stuck on Aqua Tail or Pursuit). Sadly, nothing in Johto outruns Salamence after a DD... About nothing in Johto can wall it can deal damage back without using a gimmick set. Maybe Haban Berry Suicune could I guess. :< CB Scizor could work too, deals around 58% some to Salamence with BP, that is enough to OHKO with SR, LO, and SS recoil racking up.

    You're also SD Lucario weak sadly, Skarm is OHKO'd by CC iirc. Nothing in Johto can handle it without using something like Scarf Skarm, which would do more harm than good. I can't really suggest anything, but except maybe CB Azumarill.

    Gengar runs through your team too, but at least Heracross can Stone Edge it (pray it hits lol).

    You have a bit of a hard time handling Rest-talk Rotom-A (the one with WOW and Thunderbolt). Kingdra can stand a chance, just try not a be burned when switching in, and Thunderbolt probably breaks its Subs (not for sure), so yeah...

    Better be glad Bulk Up Machamp is a rare, it OHKOs (2HKO for Skarm) your entire team. :x

    Cool team, just a few weaknesses, but they can be dealt with some by playing smart. Too bad Johto has a really small generation of Pokemon. :[

    My eyes @_@ LOL

    Anyways the berrys only work if its super effective. =[
     
    Lum Berry or Leftovers >> LO on Kingdra, it really kills you too fast with SR and potential weather. Lum Berry is great for setting up while they status you and Lefties recovery is nice. Plus use Swift Swim, Sniper rarely happens and Swift Swim is always nice to have when people use Rain Dance teams.

    SD Luke smashes you, after a SD nothing you have can take a hit from it. I'd replace Umberon, it really isn't doing much and is usually setup fodder maybe replace it with Smeargle and lead with it. It'll be better then leading with Skarmory =)

    ScarfTran or ScarfRachi could solve your problem with SDLuke as well as DDMence but you said you want a Johto-Pokemon only so eh I'm not too sure what to suggest :/
     
    Any substitutes for Umbreon then? No Blissey please. I don't like that Pokemon. :(
