    This kind of stuff belongs in the In-Game Team Help, as you're wanting help with your team that's in a game! So, I'm gonna move it to that forum. You should probably get more responses here than you would have done in the 4th Generation board. :D

    Moving on up
     
    The movesets seem a bit.... sameish to me.

    I'll explain what I mean.

    1) First all, why so many crunches? I get it's a good move, but is it really needed on so many 'mons? I'd look at alternative ways of lowering defenses.
    2)If you ignore Dig/Fly You practically have no defensive moves. You have no Sp Wall and no Physical Wall. It's just a team of sweepers, but that's you want. 'Don't wanna change lineup' And there's no wildcard really. :/ I mean a really random move you'd rarely use, and you only do when the situation is right.

    It looks like a team of brute force. If I put a semi-decent mixed wall against that, you'd have trouble.

    Of course, what do I know :P
     
    A valid point, I was always planning to put a Good defensive Pokemon in there, I was going with a rock type then I wanted rampardos... my team kinda just ended up that way
     
    Well Rampardos is a good all out attack 'mon imo. But so are many of your own.

    Without a decent mixed def/Sp def or physical def? I guess your moves are good, but my point remains the same. You'll have problems against a serious battler DX They'll just wall you straight away :( By the time your crunches have their desired effect, you'll by 3-4 pokemon down, in my opinion.

    As I said, what do I know :P
