    Is it a good team now with my changes
     
    You need a sixth Pokemon, and Garchomp is banned.

    ^This.

    Wait, who allowed this thread ?

    Anyways, for this to fit S+M standards, you need explanations for what each pokemon accomplishes and why they are on the team. So if you could do that for me that would be great. Add that means you will get better rates too.

    Shuckle wants Encore >> Protect to stop it being set up fodder. Leftovers as the item.

    Spiritomb wants Pain Split >> Nightmare for healing. Nightmare is an awful strategy since they can just switch. Also wants Sucker Punch >> Toxic and either Taunt/Pursuit >> Hypnosis. That ev spread is bad too 252 hp / 144 def/ 112 sp.def @ careful please. It needs max hp always to maximize its defensive capabilities. Leftovers as the item.

    Roserade wants Leaf Storm >> Extrasensory for power. Extrasensory offers no additional coverage. Choice Specs as the item.

    Lapras wants leftovers.

    Salamence wants Outrage >> Dragon Claw @ Leftovers or Life Orb

    Metagross wants Life Orb. I prefer Zen Headbutt >> T-Punch these days too. Helps with Zappy, waters (mostly swampert), Gyarados and the Rotom Alts all with one slot.

    Basically Shuckle is dead weight (even more so without that Sandstorm support) and so is Spiritomb. Spiritomb's purpose is to only block Rapid Spin which this team really doesnt need. Lapras is also outclassed by most other bulky waters such as Suicune.

    In addition you dont cover most threats sufficiently, there is really nothing stopping things like Heatran, Gyarados, Tyranitar, Salamence, Scizor amongst various others from sweeping you. Take a gander at this and this, its what they are there for. Not to be mean but this needs a massive revamp.
