  • Salamence (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Intimidate
    EVs: 116 HP / 252 Atk / 140 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Dragon Dance
    - Earthquake
    - Flamethrower Fire Blast
    - Hidden Power [Flying]

    A rule of thumb: Never, EVER use sucky neutral natures. On NB you really need to push your pokémon's abilities to the limit, and without that 10% stat boost it's not going to happen. Just drop Flamethrower for Fire Blast and the little drop in SAtk shouldn't be a bother.

    Ludicolo (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Swift Swim
    EVs: 252 HP / 36 SAtk / 220 SDef
    Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
    - Giga Drain Hidden Power [Grass]/Ice Beam
    - Leech Seed
    - Surf
    - Toxic/Substitute

    More like HP Grass since you're going all stally with it. Higher PP and base damage > pitiful HP recovery. Ice Beam is also an option over one of the damaging moves to hit Mence on the switch, and Substitute could be a useful predictionary measure over Leech Seed since you don't want to be forced to switch whenever a physical sweep jumps in.

    Skarmory (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Keen Eye
    EVs: 252 HP / 88 Atk / 84 Def / 84 Spd
    Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
    - Rest
    - Spikes
    - Steel Wing Drill Peck
    - Whirlwind

    Bleah, Steel Wing. More like Drill Peck imo, it has better type coverage and is the mortal enemy of Hera. I prefer subskarm but to each their own.

    Alakazam (M) @ Choice Band
    Trait: Synchronize
    EVs: 112 HP / 252 Spd / 146 SAtk
    Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
    - Fire Punch
    - Psychic
    - Recover Calm Mind
    - Trick

    Meh, Zam...don't bother with Recover, it doesn't have the defenses for it. Calm Mind is a far cooler and more useful option. Great for exploiting CBed victims, at least when you don't know what's coming. Also, it could use more SAtk, I think, but I'm not that good with Zam's EVs. >.<

    Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Torrent
    EVs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 120 SAtk
    Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
    - Earthquake
    - Ice Beam
    - Roar
    - Surf Rest

    With no real prospects for healing, a wall like Swampert needs Rest to survive.

    Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Immunity Thick Fat
    EVs: 108 HP / 200 Def / 200 SDef
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Body Slam
    - Curse
    - Earthquake
    - Rest

    Eww...Curselax... .___. Thick Fat over immunity, because ice attacks are much more common than Toxic in the OU. The STalker is so much cooler than this, though. Besides, you've got a status weak which it would ease a bit:

    Snorlax @ Leftovers
    Trait: Thick Fat
    EVs: 240 HP / 152 Atk / 116 Def
    Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
    Double-Edge
    Earthquake/Shadow Ball
    Rest
    Sleep Talk

    Suggestions?

    Big-arse status weak because you lack both cleric and STalker. A Jynx played right could sweep through this whole team, I'm afraid. You also seem to rely quite heavily on setups, maybe CB Sala over the DD build for a quick sweeping type. Also, cleric Celebi over Ludi might not be a bad idea considering the kind of havoc that status effects wreak on this team. Ehh...that's all I can think of at the moment, although I have the distinct feeling that there's something fishy with the EVs.

  • Yeah I changed the natures and gave rest over roar on Swampert. I don't really use it... I used aerial ace over, wouldn't allow drill peck. Used fireblast over flame thrower on salamence, good idea on that. I didn't replace anything on Snorlax, it's quite good as it is actually. And finally I left the recover, its good as it keeps me alive against blisseys.
