My Netbattle Team Needs A LOT of work

[Heat7]

Hello everyone! I'm new here and I was just checking out the different sections of the forum, and I saw this. Since I recently started playing Netbattle (and losing) I thought you guys could help me out.
I have already started editing my team and I think it's made some improvement, but now is only 5 pokemon.

Dragonite (M) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk / 180 Spd / 78 SAtk
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Brick Break
- Dragon Dance
- Fire Blast
- Hidden Power [Flying]

I would like to take out Brick Break and add Earthquake, but I'm not sure how to do that, and still have a Pokemon that can take out Blissey, Snorlax etc.

Armaldo (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Battle Armor
EVs: 116 HP / 76 Atk / 222 Def / 96 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Bug]
- Rock Blast
- Swords Dance

I got the motivation to build the team with Armaldo, and He has proved to be very good. I would like to keep him.

Starmie @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 6 SDef
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Psychic
- Surf
- Thunderbolt

I like Starmie, but with previous teams, I've been more successful with it. On this team it seems to fragile. I'm not sure why, but it could be just me.

Forretress (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 192 Def / 66 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Rest
- Spikes

I've never used Forretress before so, I'm unsure about the strategy around using him.

Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 HP / 6 Def / 252 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Curse
- Rest
- Return
- Shadow Ball

Snorlax has been very reliable and I've been able to sweep teams with him.


Also:
I would like to keep my team legendary free.

Thanks!

Starmie needs to get a Timid Nature. It needs the extra speed to outrun, outrunning pokemon is important for sweeping.

k...and yeah, EQ over BB.

Armaldo (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Battle Armor
EVs: 116 HP / 76 Atk / 222 Def / 96 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Bug]
- Rock Blast / Rock slide
- Swords Dance

Fine, but run a bit more attack. Rapid spin is an option.

Starmie @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 6 SDef
timid Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Psychic / Rapid spin
- Surf
- Thunderbolt

Fine. But you need timid.

Forretress (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 192 Def / 66 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Rest
- Spikes

Never mibnd on the spinner suggestion above then ^_^ Fine...

I've never used Forretress before so, I'm unsure about the strategy around using him.

Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 HP / 6 Def / 252 SDef
careful Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Curse
- Rest
- Return
- Shadow Ball

Snorlax has been very reliable and I've been able to sweep teams with him.

Run more complex EVs, but I can't remember them and Netbattle is being all funky with me. Careful nature, otherwise fine.

Thanks!

You WILL have to watch out for legends though. Heracross gives this team trouble, weezing might be good over Forry and maybe put rapid spin on starmie.

Rapid Spin with Armaldo doesn't work too well, SR is super effective on him =(

Stealth rock isn't in 3rd gen :/

 

[Heat7]

Thanks for the suggestions, I will makes some changes. Do you guys have any suggestions for my last slot?

 

[Archer]

BPasser ninjask could work well with Snorlax, Dragonite and Armaldo.

 

[Heat7]

Yeah, but then curse would be pointless on snorlax. Also I'm trying to add in a fighting move somewhere.

 

[Anti]

For the record, ninjask is fail. SO easy to counter. If you want a fighting move, you could run Boah or McIceGar to counter teh skarmbliss.
