    [PokeCommunity.com] My Bad Team. :/

    Ninetales (F) @ BalloonTrait: Drought
    EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
    Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
    - Energy Ball
    - Fire Blast
    - Hidden Power [Ground]
    - Nasty Plot

    For obvious reasons, to set up drought, and sometimes when the player expects a switch out to preserve my only(yeah I should probably get another) way of setting up sunlight, I can get a hit or two in.

    Salamence (M) @ Choice Specs
    Trait: Intimidate
    EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
    Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
    - Draco Meteor
    - Hydro Pump
    - Fire Blast
    - Dragon Pulse

    Mixed Mence isn't at all expected. Catches most players off guard. Except for like you pros and whatnot.

    Doredia (F) @ Life Orb
    Trait: Chlorophyll
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
    Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
    - Butterfly Dance
    - Hidden Power [Ice]
    - Giga Drain
    - Sleep Powder

    Standard Sweeper, sets up after a quick sleep powder and sweeps. Not as effective as i would like it to be seeing as most people counter it with ease.

    Kabutops (M) @ Life Orb
    Trait: Swift Swim
    EVs: 52 HP / 252 Atk / 204 Spd
    Adamant Nature
    - Rapid Spin
    - Waterfall
    - X-Scissor
    - Stone Edge

    I need to get rid of this. It's awful, and only helps in those situations when someone runs FireMoth.

    Venusaur (M) @ Life Orb
    Trait: Chlorophyll
    EVs: 252 Atk / 20 Def / 236 Spd
    Naughty Nature (+Atk, -SDef)
    - Power Whip
    - Growth
    - Hidden Power [Fire]
    - Earthquake

    Powerhouse of the team, as it takes hits and throws them back. I usually can set up +4 growth before having to resort to attacking cause of Venasaur's bulk.

    [PokeCommunity.com] My Bad Team. :/

    Rankurusu (M) @ Life Orb
    Trait: Magic Guard
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
    Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
    - Calm Mind
    - Psychic
    - Recover
    - Focus Blast

    Tank. Ranku takes hits an heals. I can set up a full +6 Calm Mind on most people who don't find a counter right away, or have had their Rankurusu counter already killed.

    I know I need to get rid of Kabutops, because why should I use a Swift Swim pokemon on a Drought team? I just really needed a Spinner, should I replace it with Dory?
    Thanks for your input in advance you guys.​
     
    Hitmontop could be useful for Spinning. Its the only useful Spinner which isn't really hindered by the sun.

    Specs Mence wants HP Fighting over Hydro Pump on a sun team. All hit the same junk anyway so yeah lol.

    Id also try and find a way to absorb fire attacks because you cannot deal with Balloon Heatran. Something with Flash Fire like Arcanine would be nice, probably over Salamence.
     
    What's Kabutops doing in a Sun team? The Sun weakens its STAB Waterfall. And I agree with Dark_Azelf on Arcanine:
    -Flare Blitz
    -Morning Sun
    -Close Combat
    -Wild Charge
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item:Leftovers/Life Orb
    Ability: Flash Fire
     
    Alright thanks guys, I'll switch them over, and then I'll try them out.
