    This is my attempt at a water mono-team with no legends ubers. any help will be helpful and please rate it. There are 3 Physical Sweepers...i don't like that

    Starmie (Lum Berry)
    Modest Nature
    Trait: Natural Cure
    109 HP, 128 Def, 137 Spd, 136 Sp. Atk (EV's are messed up but it works)
    Ice Beam
    Psychic
    Recover
    Surf

    Faints most starter pokemon, sometimes give it quick claw if it is a ninjask first. It is pretty good i guess.

    Swampert (Salac Berry) i think it should be chesto berry so i wake up.
    Trait: Torrent
    Adamant Nature
    129 HP, 252 Atk, 63 Def, 66 Sp Def (speed doesn't even help)
    Brick Break
    Earthquake
    Refresh
    Rest

    For electric types, obviously.

    Ludicolo (Leftovers)
    Trait: Rain Dish
    Bold Nature
    252 HP, 129 Def, 129 Sp. Def (again speed doesnt help)
    Attract
    Leech Seed
    Rain Dance
    Seismic Toss

    An annoyer...any changes to make?

    Gyrados (Salac Berry)
    Trait: Intimidate
    Adamant Nature
    65 HP, 129 Atk, 64 Def, 252 Spd
    Taunt
    Dragon Dance
    Earthquake
    HP Flying

    Taunt the annoyer, dragon dance on the switch or struggle, then sweep away.

    Lapras (Leftovers) The Physical sweeper i want to change
    Trait: Shell Armor (or Water Absorb?)
    Adamant Nature
    252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 Def
    Confuse Ray
    Dragon Dance
    Return
    HP Ghost

    Confuse Ray, Dragon Dance while hopefully hurts themselves, then sweep

    Vaporeon (Lum Berry)
    Trait: Water Absorb
    Bold Nature
    64 HP, 129 Def, 129 Spd, Sp. Atk
    Haze
    Surf
    Toxic
    Attract

    Hazer/it can survive hits from an Aerodactyl (and most other things) then surf it and it faints.
     
    Starmie - give it Rapid Spin over Psychic, at least giving you the ability to fight back against spikers. Halts Skarmory dead in it's tracks, since Toxic won't work for long (Natural Cure), and you have Thunderbolt to take out that metal bird. Leftovers over Lum Berry please.

    Swampert: Curse is the order of the day here:

    Swampert@Leftovers
    EV: HP, Att, minor Sp Att, minor Sp Def
    Nature: + Att, - Speed
    Curse
    Earthquake
    Rest
    Surf/Ice Beam

    Mixed Cursepert covers a lot of types.

    Ludicolo - Rain Dish is useless, throw it away for Swift Swim:

    Ludicolo@Leftovers/Lum Berry
    EV: minor HP, Sp Att, Speed
    Nature: + Sp Att, - Att
    Rain Dance
    Surf/Hydro Pump
    Ice Beam/Leech Seed
    Giga Drain/HP Grass/Toxic

    Gyarados - standard. Leftovers over Salac, or maybe Liechi, not like he needs the extra speed

    Lapras - you are joking, right?

    Lapras@Leftovers
    EV: HP, Sp Att, Sp Def, minor Def
    Nature: + Sp Att, - Att
    Surf/Hydro Pump
    Ice Beam
    Thunderbolt/Thunder
    Roar/Confuse Ray/Rest

    You have no idea how annoying a roaring Lapras can be until you face one. Thunder to go with Rain Dance from someone for Thunderdancing, otherwise it's fairly standard.

    Vaporeon - I'd consider Wish for this team:

    Vaporeon@Leftovers
    EV: HP, Def, Sp Att, minor Sp Def
    Nature: + Def/Sp Def, - Att
    Surf
    Toxic
    Haze
    Wish

    I'm surprised at the lack of Lanturn for electric protection, or some Swift Swimmers like Omastar (forget Kingdra). Considering your lack of physical attackers, perhaps Kabutops may help somewhere.
     
    thanks a lot for the help. Now i like the lanturn idea. My question is what i should give it. Also, who should i replace for Lanturn?

    I was thinking:

    Lanturn (Chesto Berry)
    Trait:Volt Absorb
    Nature: Bold
    Surf
    Thunderbolt
    Rest
    (some filler move)

    i dont think it is that good but what would you do?
     
    Why is it that you people like to put an odd number of EVs into stats? The EVs only work if it is a multiple of 4 ._.

    4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32...etc...

    Well, because 252/252 leaves 6 left, so just put them all in, or just leave the extra 2 out, it doesn't really matter, or with that Lanturn I posted, 252 EVS in one stat leaves 258 EVs, so that means to even out two other stats you put in 129 EVs into each one. :D

    EVs: 108 HP / 128 Atk / 138 Spd / 136 SAtk

    My revision gives an extra speed point. Errors like these are all over the team. That's what Kholdstaire was talking about.
