    tyranitar(Adamant)
    item:choice band
    25/31/18/20/17/31
    EV'S:176 HP / 252 Attack / 80 Speed
    -stone edge
    -crunch
    -Pursuit
    -e-quake / Aqua Tail

    Pursuit is one of its biggest selling points, since they cant switch out. Fire Punch is petty useless tbh. Aqua Tail >> Earthquake imo, so you can beat Hippowdon and freinds. 80 speed evs beats most Skarmory so they cant Roost on your stone edges.

    lucario(Jolly)
    item:life orb
    20/31/15/29/10/31
    EV'S:252 attack,252 speed,4 hp
    -Stone Edge / Ice Punch
    -extreme speed
    -close combat
    -swords dance

    Close Combat already OHKO's steels so no need for Blaze Kick. Jolly>> Naive since you arent using any special attacks.

    salamence(Adamant)
    item:Leftovers
    EV'S: 80 hp / 252 att / 176 speed.

    31/30/15/18/20/31
    -d-dance
    -outrage
    -Fire Fang
    -Earthquake


    Bulky mence is poop in the current metagame. Use sweeper DD Mence.

    gengar (Modest)
    item:Choice Scarf
    31/15/10/31/17/31
    EV'S:
    -Shadow Ball
    -Thunderbolt
    -Focus Blast
    -Will-o-Wisp

    Put a choice scarf on this, because you lose to foe DD Gyara etc pretty badly, so use this to revenge kill it. Will-o-Wisp is a great move and i highly reccomend it, it eases up on prediction with common switch ins such as Scizor, Tyranitar, Metagross, Jirachi etc.

    Breloom(adamant)
    item:toxic orb(ability:Poison heal)
    EV'S:44 HP / 252 Attack / 212 Speed
    ~ Substitute
    ~ Leech Seed
    ~ Focus Punch
    ~ Spore

    Comments in bold.

    Right, well firstly you lack a special sweeper (gengar doesnt count). So put one over that Gyarados since its doing nothing. This will also give your team a bit of strategy e.g you Pursuit Blissey or something with CB Tar and your special sweeper will have a heck of an easier time sweeping.

    Next, you lack Stealth Rock. A must for ANY team, it helps ensure Lucario gets those OHKO's and that your team can actually sweep. Since Breloom isnt doing much, i reccomend putting a SR user >> it.

    Rules said:
    → An explanation of each Pokémon's moveset, strategy, and function(s) on the team

    Why? If the team raters do not know what each Pokémon is trying to accomplish, then they will probably question the Pokémon's spot on the team (especially with sets that aren't very common).

    Also do this for me and it would be great, thanks.

    i am fairly new to this and i dont know many good stratagies
    but i was thinking about adding skarbliss
    or just add gliscor cus gliscor works well with t-tar(i think)

    (oh and for the rules im sorry im still new to this)
