Good in theory, but will it work?

    Here's my team, I just built it. Theoretically, it should work, but? theory just isn't enough nowadays ^^

    Smeargle (M) @ Chesto Berry ** AutoSketch
    Trait: Own Tempo
    EVs: 255 HP / 255 Spd
    Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
    - Baton Pass
    - Dragon Dance
    - Spider Web
    - Spore
    A Dragon Dancer for Pok?mon without Dragon Dance, Spore keeps webbed enemies ensnared [SW because it has more PP]. Works well, I imagine, with Big Momma.

    Kangaskhan (F) @ Liechi Berry ** Big Momma
    Trait: Early Bird
    EVs: 4 HP / 253 Atk / 253 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Attract
    - Brick Break
    - Frustration
    - Shadow Ball
    Female attracter, DDed, and ready to power through. SB for Ghosts, BB for Tyranitar and the like, Frustration for 153 power of STABbed goodness!

    Charizard (F) @ Liechi Berry ** Dracona
    Trait: Blaze
    EVs: 4 HP / 253 Atk / 253 Spd
    Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
    - Aerial Ace
    - Dragon Dance
    - Earthquake
    - Flamethrower
    Another physical sweeper, and an alternate BP from Smeargle [which can DD while the opponent's asleep, as well].

    Seviper (M) @ Petaya Berry ** BladeScale
    Trait: Shed Skin
    EVs: 4 Atk / 253 Spd / 253 SAtk
    Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
    - Crunch
    - Flamethrower
    - Haze
    - Hidden Power [Ice]
    Special user, hazer, anti-Dragon. Nice power XD

    Aggron (M) @ Ganlon Berry ** IronStone
    Trait: Sturdy
    EVs: 253 HP / 4 Atk / 253 Def
    Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
    - Counter
    - Iron Defense
    - Rest
    - Rock Slide
    My wall, counter dishes out major damage against *most* physical sweepers using BB or EQ. ID is for a bit of extra Defense on the side ^^ RS is because I don't want to rely only on Counter.

    Espeon (M) @ Petaya Berry ** PsyBlast
    Trait: Synchronize
    EVs: 253 Spd / 253 SAtk / 4 SDef
    Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
    - Calm Mind
    - Psych Up
    - Psychic
    - Toxic
    True Special Sweeper, with a bit more defensive abilities than Alakazam [who knows, it may last where 'Zam doesn't, and continue its sweeping run XD] Another possible DD BP, but for Speed only.



    Of course, this is only theoretical. There are probably a million counters for it? please let me know!
     
    I see a choice banded Salamence not having much trouble taking care of this team
     
    Put EQ over Iron Defense on Aggron
    and put liechi on him
    that makes him a possible DD reciever
     
    Spike Razzor said:
    Theres a mistake you made. You only need 252 to have a maxed out stat. Reduce it and throw the remaining into HP.
    Ya, but 6 EVs on a stat is the same as 4, so it doesn't matter either way.

    EQ, eh? I'll try it.
     
    Up pops the Skarmory to Roar little Smeargle/Kangaskhan away.

    Charizards set might want Overheat > Flamethrower due to lack of Sp.Atk EV's.

    I've never, ever, sussed out Seviper, but that looks alright, he'll get raped by Houndoom though.

    Using Aggron as a wall isn't that great of an idea, considering he has a 4x weakness to one of the types he supposed to be protecting..
    He'll get raped by Boahtar, I'm thinking he needs Earthquake over Counter.

    Espeon, obviously can't attack Dark types, which is why you pass to your Sp.Atker when one comes out right?
    To bad your Sp.Atker already has problems with a Dark type, so, I'm thinking, consider having HP Water over Psych Up.

    Your team has a massive McGar weakness, with Focus Punch being Super Effective against 3 of your pokemon, and Thunderbolt taking care of Charizard.

    Theoretically, the idea is there, but the Smeargle pass is stopped by Skarmory, and the Espeon pass is stopped by Blissey..

    As for a rating, I'm thinking 5-6/10, as I can see a few problems with it.
     
    Aggron can take Boah if it has quake

    Boah can't sub and its not like It'll be doing anything with crunch or T-Bolt

    I like

    Aggron@ Lefties
    ~T-Wave
    ~Sub
    ~Focus Punch
    ~HP [Bug/Ghost/Steel/Rock]/ Rockslide

    It screws boah if it has HP: steel or Bug and it can get set up on stuff

    if it has a sub up it can T-wave mence and then Rockslide it for the OHKO
     
    Why not just Rock Slide Salamence anyway if it's a OHKO.

    And Boahtar WILL deal some decent damage with Thunderbolt, remember Aggron isn't immune to it, and he has low, LOW, Special Defense.
     
    T-Wave is in case you miss and
    it can T-wave random stuff too
     
    Fair enough.

    He's ruined by Ground pokemon though.
     
    you can't stop that tho, if he was faster it might have been avoidable but, he's too slow
     
    True.

    >_>

    Hp Ice.

    <_<

    I know, I know, it was a joke.

    He could still hurt things like Duggy, I mean, EQ couldn't be a OHKO could it?

    Actually it's 4x effective isn't it?

    Poor Aggron.
     
    FP is a OHKO to duggy so if it as its sub up....
     
    Oh that's cool then.

    I thought Duggy could take it like a man.

    Guess I was wrong.
     
    lol 212 hp and neglible defense don't make a man
     
    Hey he can take a Flail at least.
     
    I see a major problem whenever a Smeargle with Mean Look / Spider Web comes up. If you use Spore first, your opponent will just switch out. If you use Mean Look first, you most likely won't survive the hit that you will probably receive before using Spore. I think an Umbreon needs to Baton Pass Mean Look. Take care.
     
    theres a way to solve that.
    send smeargle out on bliss.
    use mean look. most ppl let bliss take the spore for natural cure to kick in.
    then spore.
    another way is to spore bliss first.
    then spore again.
     
    That's not a bad idea, it'll depend who you are battling, I personally don't like using Smeargle, for any reason, his stats are to low to be of any use to me I'm afraid.

    Precisely.
