    Dragon teams are not good at all; most of your team can be swept with ice attacks. Same goes for Ground teams. I'd suggest putting a variety of types into your team because in competitive play, this won't last long.

    Omg. This is horrible. Whiscash is your ONLY defense against ice beam. Your natures are terrible. Your movesets aren't that hard to fix however. Theme based teams have to cover the expected weaknesses. For a good example of that, check out Azonic's sandstorm team which is..somewhere.
     
    this is atually for my clan battling (i speciallize in Dragon and Ground obviously) but i need to not only sort out my team building skills but i should change the types

    ok thanks :D
     
    My new team im working on haven't done my Evs yet though:

    Rhyperior @ Choice Band
    Solid Rock
    Adamant
    - Megahorn
    - Focus Punch
    - Stone Edge
    - Earthquake

    lol modest lol...Rhyperior is a physical attacker-special attacks are a waste. It also needs solid rock to help survive stuff like EQ. This CB set hammers lots of stuff, especially skarm on the switch with focus punch.

    Flygon @ Choice Band
    Levitate
    Jolly / Adamant
    - Earthquake
    - Rock Slide
    - Dragon Claw
    - Crunch

    Roost isn't so hot, and taking away its best stat with relaxed isn't helping anything.

    Whiscash
    Oblivious
    Lonely
    - Surf
    - Snore
    - Earthquake
    - Rest

    I usually stop reading when I see snore...

    Claydol
    Levitate
    Relaxed
    - Rest
    - Earthquake
    - Ice Beam / Psychic
    - Rapid Spin

    claydol is a defensive pokemon :/ It's best as a spinner with psychic or IB for gengar switch-ins (to absorb rapid spin) and rest to heal. Gentle is lol since it needs defenses.

    Dragonite
    Inner Focus
    Jolly
    - Earthquake
    - Fire Punch
    - Dragon Claw
    - Dragon Dance

    Nuetral natures are made of epic fail. and DD with only one physical attack? lol no. That's the DDnite I used...

    I'm not sure on the last one, i think ill use Torterra but im not sure on a move set

    NO!

    EDIT: Advice is apreciated :D

    Starmie tears this team to shreads, as does weavile. You have claydol, so switch out 2 of your many sweepers for skarmbliss and your defenses are covered. speaking of which, where are they? Anything with HP ice / ice beam, etc. destroys nearly all your team, and nothing can really stopthe beamers. you need to have counters for these kinds of pokemon.
     
    I believe you should keep your torterra and teach it Frenzy PLant.Also your Dragonite, it's really good.
     
    For a Ground/ Dragon team. I would use these pokemon. Though Ice type attacks will be a horror. They can be countered though. Just keep that in mind.

    Swampert
    Hippowdon
    Garchomp
    Swampert
    Claydol
    Dragonite/Salamence
     
    Bleach and Sunshine, Why the poo would there be two Swamperts on one team!? D:

    *reports for bad suggestion*

    lol jk. but seriously, all forms of hyperbeam SUCK. read dunsparce's post.

    Why use Whiscash? Swampert pwns it.

    Nature:Jolly
    Evs:252 Speed, 252 Attack, 4 HP
    - Earthquake
    - Roost/Stone Edge

    The nature was wrong on it.

    Whiscash@Leftovers

    Nature:Adamant
    EVs:252 HP, 120 Defense, 120 Sp.Defense, 18 Attack
    - Waterfall

    Nature:Relaxed
    EVs:252 HP, 129 Defense, 129 Sp.Defense

    HORRIBLE nature on it.This moveset and nature would look better.

    Torterra@Leftovers
    Ability:Overgrow
    Nature:Impish/Adamant
    EVs:252 HP, 129 Attack, 129 Defense
    -Wood Hammer
    -Stone Edge
    -Earthquake

    I think this would be good for a torterra

    or you can go with this poke...it will be about the only one besides wiscash that isnt weak against ice moves.

    Mamoswine@Leftovers
    Ability:Snow Cloak
    Nature:Adamant
    EVs:252 HP, 252 Attack, 6 Speed
    -Ice Shard/Avalanche
    -Earthquake
    -Stone Edge
    -Hail

    Pretty good tank i think...

    or with this moveset

    -Ice Shard/Avalanche
    -Hail/Earthquake
    -Stealth Rock
    -Roar

    You need a stealth rocker

    I'm not sure on the last one, i think ill use Torterra but im not sure on a move set

    EDIT: Advice is apreciated :D

    Well this team will get LOLed at by starmie easily.Oh well i hope i helped:).

    For the record, waterfall doesn't do much for dragonite, especially the dragon dancing variant. And claydol without rapid spin is a sad claydol.
     
    well i edited and put rapid spin before you posted your post...i forgot he needs a rapid spinner.
    And yeah he can go for fire/thunder punch or stone edge i think.......or thunder or fireblast.

    EDIT:Yeah Shirashi in know....im putting some minor adjustments on it.
     
    Eh, might wanna read into some of this before posting a rate next time :)
     
    Anti...are you talking to me??

    Well, yes, since calydol without rapid spin is like Bliss without softboiled kinda.

    But anyhow, whiscash is usable, but yeah, swampert is better (mixpert FTW)
     
    wait but i had rapid spin BEFORE you told me to put it....

    No you didn't :/

    I'm a good 99% sure on thatm, but it's beside the point. Really, claydol needs either IB or psychic for gengar switch-ins, and psychic can even help with heracross switch-ins too, which you lol at with proper prediction. Rest for healing...since it needs it.
