My First RMT (UPDATED)

[Jukain-Arashi]

I'm reposting my team since the last thread died and I didn't want to bump a month old thread. So here goes, introducing the line up:

The Lead *image removed*
Yanmega @ Focus Sash
Modest
Speed Boost
4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Bug Buzz
~ Air Slash
~ Signal Beam
~ Hypnosis

Protect seems a bit like a un-needed precaution in there, seeing as it is acting as a lead here. Signal Beam is a decent attack, and it also has a 10% chance to confuse. Although it is a small chance, it still does work. Hypnosis seems like you can keep it in there, just hope it hits or they have a free swing at you.


THE TANK
*image removed*
Gliscor @ Focus Sash
Impish
Hyper Cutter
252 HP / 40 Atk / 216 Spe
~ Stealth Rock
~ Earthquake
~ Roost
~ Fire Fang

I don't personally use Gliscor anymore due to the fact that he was constantly getting torn up by Heatran, Mamoswine, Alakazam, you name it. Change the Lefties to a Sash because there's no guarantee that this thing will hold against a good HP Ice.


THE REVENGE KILLER

Mamoswine @ Choice Band
Jolly
Snow Cloak
252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
~ Earthquake
~ Ice Shard
~ Stone Edge
~ Ice Fang

Nice Guy. I like him. He does some pretty good damage on those frail special sweepers.


THE SPECIAL SWEEPER
*image removed*
Starmie @ Life Orb
Timid
Natural Cure
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Surf/Hydro Pump
~ Thunderbolt
~ Ice Beam
~ Waterfall

Good Special Sweeper, but you don't need Rapid Spin. You're keeping away from a stall team here, so it's not essential. Replace it with Waterfall (love the 30% flinch chance).


THE PHYSICAL SWEEPER
*image removed*
Scizor @ Choice Band
Adamant
Technician
248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spe
~ U-turn
~ Bullet Punch
~ Superpower
~ Pursuit

Another Revenge Killer? Some teams go without one. Plus, he's not really suited for the role "Revenge Killer". He's more of a physical sweeper. Anyway, I love him too.


THE END GAME SWEEPER

Salamence @ Life Orb
Naive
Intimidate
232 Atk / 24 SpA / 252 Spe

I haven't seen this set before. You should probably change the EVs and Nature to make it the typical DDMence.

Yeah. My criticism sucks. Not totally experienced at reviewing, but that's just what I saw. All in all, it's a semi-well-rounded team. Maybe I should just let Anti or Dark Azelf review.

 

[Jukain-Arashi]

I like Rapid Spin to get rid of those entry hazards. I needed Fire Blast on Salamence so I can put a dent into the likes of Skarmory. Protect is there to scout. I guess Scizor can be my physical sweeper.

@icepyro

sigh..

protect screws trick leads, forcing them to switch...

team is pretty weak to SR, hence RS on Starmie.

sash is way <lefties on a tank...besides, if he comes out when SR is up, ay bye bye sash..if he wants something for an ice move, yache>sash...that or just do the obvious move when an obvious ice move is coming and switch.

and...that is the standard ddmence set.lol

 

[Dark Azelf]

Yeah. My criticism sucks. Not totally experienced at reviewing, but that's just what I saw. All in all, it's a semi-well-rounded team. Maybe I should just let Anti or Dark Azelf review.

Yeah maybe learn a bit more before rating ?

2 Bug moves on the same set ? No

Sash sucks on gliscor its way too bulky and you know wouldnt you just switch out of those threats anyway ? That and SR ruin it so you gain nothing from it.

Waterfall is physical and Starmie has poor attack and no starmie isnt going to kept away from a stall team which doesnt make any sense lol

 

[Jukain-Arashi]

Let's keep this clean. I only want posts that are helpful to me. Overall, is this well balanced?

Can't I use Detect over Protect on Yanmega? Just wondering, because I don't really see a difference in the two attacks.
