    i just made this up today.. and since i'm kinda new with netbattle some of these movesets and ev's may seem weird and crappy, but that's why i came here for help.

    Tauros @ CB
    trait: intimidate
    nature: lonely
    ev: 252att, 252 speed, 6hp
    -double edge
    -flamethrower <--for steel types(haven't encounter many)
    -return <--all i need really
    -surf
    i'm thinking maybe thunderbolt over surf because of the abundance of water pokemon. tauros has weak special attack though, so perhaps it's probably better to just go with return all the way and flamethrower for steels. surf is just in case i run into aerodactyl or something..

    Dodrio @ Salac
    trait: early bird <--useless seeing i don't have rest
    nature: jolly
    ev: 120hp(for setting hp to 291 for flail; maybe i'm off a bit), 138 att, 252 speed
    -sub
    -drill peck
    -flail
    -toxic
    flailing dodrio.. very standard. tyranitar sandstorm kills it but meh, i'll take my chances. if done right he should sweep a couple.

    Persian @ Lefties <--perhaps my weakest pokemon which has done nothing for me
    trait: limber
    nature: jolly
    ev: 252att, 252 speed, 6hp
    -fakeout
    -return
    -roar
    -shadowball
    useless really. his attack sucks. this hurts me because persian used to be one of my favs back in the red/blue/yellow days with his insane speed and crit hit with slash. fakeout doesn't do any damage as the damage he does can often be easily restored by a lefty. roar to get rid of cursing/calm pokemon, IF he survives the hit. pathetic really.

    Blissey @lefties
    trait: natural cure
    nature: relaxed
    ev: 252defense, 252SDef, 6SAtt <--before you say i screw up the ev's, i just want to keep the hp of my blissey down in case of venasaur with sleep powder and leech seed. besides blissey is a good special tank as it is, and i thought i would try to cover its physical defense a little, hence the max ev in Def and relaxed nature. SAtt cuz the left over ev's might as well go somewhere.. and problem with most blissey is that they can't finish.
    -heal bell
    -psychic <--those plant pokemon are in for a surprise
    -seismic toss
    -softboiled
    psychic cuz it's a strong strong attack and blissey's SAtt is actually not too bad.. it's a good way to get rid of those annoying plant types, which are about the only thing that stand a chance against blissey really. seismic toss is standard as the rest of the moveset.

    Kangaskhan @ liechi
    trait:early bird
    nature:adamant
    evs: 6hp, 252att, 252 defense
    -earthquake
    -fakeout
    -rest
    -toxic
    the ev's are weird but my team needs SOMETHING that has decent physical defense aside from snorlax. speed isn't really needed anyway since he has fakeout which buys him a turn... besides.. he has decent speed which allows him to outrun a lot of things, and the faster pokemon, well, they're just faster, even if i put some ev in speed. hence i might as well concentrate on defense. he's not a tank or anything, but i just don't want another pokemon that gets KO'd so easily.

    snorlax@ lefties
    trait:immunity
    nature: sassy
    evs: 252 Def, 252 SDef, 6hp
    -curse
    -rest
    -return
    -shadow ball
    seems to work fine. he was my best pokemon on my ash-wannabe team and he remains the strongest pokemon on this team. it's all about timing and setting up curse, then he's pretty much invincible.

    thanx for the help guys.
     
    U gotta have Girafarig as a baton basser in case you need the extra sp def or speed. I once baton passed max speed to snorlax and swept the oppoinent's whole team, funny. But then again, i always come up with stupid stuff.
     
    btw, u aint gonna hurt anything with Taurus with that crappy sp attack stat, so replace the special attacks with earthquake and rock slide.
    Just a suggestion
     
    hey dont double post or you will be booted out

    Use edit

    yeah, i've replaced those already. i first made this thread when i first created the team and it's been a while since then and i've made some modifications. for one i actually dropped persian(one of my favorite normals) for miltank. so i got 3 tanks and needless to say everybody hates me... i enter the battle feeling a sense of security though.

    anybody has any idea how to beat an aerodactyl though? its got mad speed and is quite the powerhouse from what i know.. what are its weaknesses? will tauro's surf do it any damage or will return+CB be the better choice?
     
    in an any kind of mono team, aim for diversity.

    Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Thick Fat
    EVs: 12 HP / 252 Atk / 244 SDef
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Earthquake
    - Return
    - Curse
    - Rest

    Tauros (M) @ Choice Band
    Trait: Intimidate
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
    Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
    - Return
    - Earthquake
    - Hidden Power [Ghost]
    - Facade

    Miltank (F) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Thick Fat
    EVs: 148 HP / 216 Def / 144 SDef
    Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
    - Thunder Wave
    - Seismic Toss
    - Milk Drink
    - Counter

    Dodrio (M) @ Salac Berry
    Trait: Early Bird
    EVs: 36 HP / 252 Atk / 220 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Flail
    - Drill Peck
    - Substitute
    - Thief

    Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Serene Grace
    EVs: 120 HP / 252 Def / 136 SAtk
    Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
    - Ice Beam
    - Substitute
    - Softboiled
    - Thunderbolt

    Slaking (M) @ Choice Band
    Trait: Truant
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Double-Edge
    - Earthquake
    - Shadow Ball
    - Brick Break

    try this. make sure dodrio doesnt die, cos he's ur only defence against fighting types. slaking and dodrio's evs are set so that they are faster than most pokes, espyjump, heracross , medicham etc.
