Gardevoir lead NU - RMT

Quick nitpicks, on Gardy, drop Wish for Psychic, otherwise it gets ripped apart by Taunt + Pursuit Skunktank.

Sudowoodo is p bad, Its outclassed by Bastiadon, so you that doesn't give it much to stand on lol. Use Slowking, its got better defenses, attack coverage, and a healing move.

Slowking @ Leftovers
252HP/200Def/56SpDef
Bold Nature
-Slack Off
-Thunder Wave/Toxic
-Surf
-Grass Knot

Butterfree is outclassed by Venomoth, so use that instead.

On Ninetails use Dark Pulse over the other options.

Everything else is fine, I might consider dropping Fearow for Sandslash for a Rapid Spinner since most of your team is SR weak.
 
Skuntank is part dark, so no Psychic should hit it. If I see one, I'll immediately switch to an appropriate counter (Taunt that, ya butt showing numbnut)
TBolt can be used OR Focus Blast. Ghosts can give me a little problem, but Sudowoodo can help that. But since Wish helps Gardevoir become even more a special sponge, with max sp.def and Light Screen and Reflect it can take a few hits.
I'd should consider that Sandslash, and just a day ago I pal parked a Venomoth. Should come in handy.

EDIT: I prefer Sudowoodo since it's spared from 4x weaknesses. 4x weakness = You won't even have time to say your prayers.

Well i Very Recently Switched out my Butterfree for a Venomoth and the difference is very noticeable but it is set up like a Toxic Spikes Venomoth lost the stun powder and dream eater and U Turn but having the spikes Bug buzz and Psychic has been a Healthy switch
 
Yes, Skunktank is part dark, but other pursuiters can skill KO it if it has no attacking move by simply using taunt.
 
@Gamer
That's the point, the moment Skuntank goes out I without any hesitation stright switch to a counter.
I've been looking over Venomoth for a little while now, I came up with this

Venomoth @ Life Orb / Leftovers
252 Sp.att, 252 Spd, 4 Sp.d
-Sleep Powder
-Stun Spore
-Leech Seed
-Bug Buzz

It's a set for bugging with the Double Status concept. Sleep something, paralyze something, and then leech seed it. A switch is highly predictable in this case. Nobody likes getting their HP sapped + having to worry about being paralyzed. I thought about giving it Toxic, because I'd rather burn physical attackers than poison them.

@Tree
Dream Eater isn't worth a slot. Sleeping Pokemon = switch = you lost a good turn = epic fail.
Don't get me wrong, DE is more than good on CPU opponents, but in online.. That's a whole other story.
U-Turn is physical, so Venomoth won't have too many uses for it. Little damage doesn't hurt, but a move slot real hurts.

Click to expand...

Umm Pursuit kinda does double damage when you switch. :/

NU isnt about slapping a bunch of random pokes together you know that right ?

Fearow is inferior to Dodrio, Butterfree is an inferior Venomoth for the most part. Not 4x SR weak, tinted lense, absorbs t-spikes (which sink your whole team) etc.

Though anything with Close Combat and a good speed stat KO's your whole team. Gardy gets 2hko'd by Scarf Primape with CC. :/

Also nothing can take on Slowking...like at all or Curse Miltank and nothing can take boosted Psychics. Heck you are even Haunter weak.

I suggest you take a look at this and get familiar with the metagame.
 
Actually I'm dropping this team and building a new one.
I said if I see a Skuntank most chances that it will taunt, but I'll just switch to something else. But It won't matter because this team changes.
