    And now in need of one more.

    Just a little something I want to try out, I'm getting of my old team even if it does work well enough. I think I'm going a bit over with the Special Attacks and something just doesn't seem right for me (probably because I've never used any of these before). But what do you think?

    You have no reliable form of physical walling at all which means that you're weak to half the metagame. That's no fun.

    Also please tell me lonely was a typo on Porygon-Z...

    Yeah, I knew something was going to be wrong...

    It was a typo.

    Yeah well you might want to take off Silk Scarf.

    Togekiss is dead weight here. FlinchHax togekiss is total garbage and it sucks. Put in a good physical wall for it.

    Charge Beam AND CM is redundant. Moonlight is VERY unreliable. Use Rest with Beller support. Coincidence: That's EXACTLY the same EV spread I used to use.

    Hera mows through this team once Noir is gone. Therefore, you should consider......

    Impish - Sand Veil

    EQ

    Why would you give Porygon-Z a + Atk nature when he doesn't have a physical move on him? Anyway, if Porygon is your lead, get a Scarf to outspeed other leads or that epileptic duck will be eating the Recycle Bin. Silk Scarf only raises the power of Normal moves, so it has little versitility. If you really want the marginal increase in power, go with Wise Glasses or Choice Specs. Just get a new lead if you do.

    I love Dusknoir. Put a bit more focus into Dusk's SDef, though- with Will-o-Wisp, Dusk doesn't have to worry much about physical attacks.

    I hate Togekiss. Seriously. Take off all of Kiss' Speed EVs- if her opponent is paralyzed, she should be able to outrun them even without any investment. Instead, focus on her defenses.

    No Moonlight. You can't see the moon in a Sandstorm. I'm not a Cressy expert, but the rest of the set needs heavy retooling as well.

    This is a just a quick rate- I need to take a better look to give a full rate.

    EDIT: Yeah, take out Kiss for a good physical wall, and take out Cressy or Dusknoir for a good Special one. If you take out Dusknoir, you may want to take out Starmie as well, since you don't have anyone weak to SR, and you have a Levitator.

    I'm still smart enough to know that 29 things outspeed PoryZ and knock the hell out of it.

    Since Heracross is an even bigger ******* than Gyarados, then concentrate on that instead.

    You need a more Defensive Rapid Spinner. Starmie isn't going to survive.

    The heck? Charge Beam AND Calm Mind on the same set?
    Grass Knot instead, hombre.

    Tyranitar = Raise a lot of hell on your team
    Get some hard-hitting Earthquake / Close Combat action for your team, or some really reliable walls. Lose Starmie for another Rapid Spinner. Also, Status infliction screws your team.

    What would be a better spinner than Starmie for this?

    There are very few good Spinners- Donphan is the only other one I can think of. Luckily, your team doesn't have much to fear from SR, so you don't need a Spinner too much.

    Okay.

    Right, then I'll need a different one for my last slot.

    Not really sure what though. =\

    Impish - Sand Veil
    252 HP/252 DEF/6 ATK
    EQ
    Ice Fang/Aerial Ace
    SR
    Roost

    Solid team overall, but has some weaks that need patching up.

    This team laughs at Heracross...giving gliscor is overkill extreme. Also the walling is fine if a physical wall were there. gliscor only makes this team weaker.

    also making Togekiss into a mega-bulky pokemon never works and makes it suck. Brick break also sucks on dusknoir really bad since you can't hit anything you're trying to counter.

    Seriously this team needs a not-Glsicor wall. Skarmory fits really well here so I'd recommend that as it's great with dusknoir.

    As for special walling you'll want to heavily EV Cress with SDef and HP if it's your special wall. You're pretty screwed by anything with Pursuit so that's trouble.

    But the only thing that can stop Cross is the Scarf-Z. (And by the way, I did the team rate back when the Z had Silk Scarf).

    Dusknoir counters all but SD Heracross easily. SD Heracross kills everything except Gliscor but that's why we can send in a random sweeper and scare it off while it sets up.
