So I might keep my original set, plus Richard's EV spread.

I could use a second opinion on my team. I don't urgently need the help, but I could use the advice.

Noctowl-Light Clay
Reflect
Hypnosis
Whirlwind
Air Slash
EV:200 HP, 152 SP.DEF, 108 DEF, 50 SPEED

She is meant to be my Reflect support. She can also use Hypnosis & Whirlwind, effectivly shutting down teams. And with Sthealth Rock support, Whirlwind can do some side damage as well.

The problem here is that i dont know how your going to switch it in with out getting murdered. It can take some special hits so i guess you can bring it in on a weaker special attacker or something. I like the movelist however. But Unless you have a reflect up, Your gonna have a really hard time bring it in.



Raichu-Light Clay/Leftovers/Zap Plate
Nature:Modest
Thunderbolt
Grass Knot
Nasty Plot
Light Screen/Focus Blast
252 SPEED, 252 SP.ATK, 6 SP.DEF

Raichu cam make to be a sweeper. His moves are obvious, but I added Light Screen to support my team. I have a knack for setting up Light Screen & Reflect, ask c-dog.

pretty standard list so its pretty good. I would probably prefer life orb over leftovers or lightclay because this pretty much acts as your teams special sweeper. Would have been nice if you could get HP ice though for boltbeam combo. Other than that nice list

Gyarados-Leftovers???(My lead)
Nature:Adamant
Waterfall
Ice Fang/Taunt
Earthquake
Dragon Dance
EV:252 ATK, 252 SPEED, 6 SP.DEF

From what I hear, Gyarados can make an effevtive sweeper. She is my lead, butI don't know if I should keep Ice Fang or Taunt.

Yet again, Pretty standard, Your list isnt really for bulkados so i wouldnt suggest taunt, I would probably go with Ice fang for this paticular list, Considering there arent THAT many things nowadays that really need to be taunted. Taunt is something to keep in mind however.


Torterra-Leftovers
Nature:Impish
Wood Hammer
Earthquake
Rock Slide/Stone Edge
Synthesis
EV:252 HP, 148 ATK, 108 DEF

He is my wall, I believe? I don't know if he should go for the power of Stone Edge, or the accuracy of Rock Slide.

with reflect and lightscreen support it will be alot easier for you to bring him in. move list is perfectly fine, I think you might wanna put just a bit more EV's into defense but with lightscreen and reflect support. Might not need to.



Vileplume-Black Sludge
Nature:Calm
Energy Ball
Stun Spore/Toxic
Aromatherapy
Hidden Power(Ground)
EV:252 HP, 124 SP.ATK, 136 SP.DEF

Vileplume is my favorite pokemon, so I had to make a place for him. When I learned that he could use Aromatherapy, I was excited. I know I should get a different HP, maybe Ice, but it took soooooo long for this, I said the hell with this.

Dont worry about your HPice, Its hard to get lol. HP ground is good though, I do wanna suggest using stun spore. Your gonna need to keep some pokemon down especially with as many threats as they are out there.



Claydol-???leftovers
Nature: Bold
Earthpower
Ice Beam
Stealth Rock
Rapid Spin
EV:252 HP, 160 DEF, 40 SP.ATK, 58 DEF(spdef???)

I was in dire need of a Stealth Rocker, I thought, why not kill three birds with one stone? Now I got a Rapid-Spinner, Stealth Rocker, and Ice Beamer, I needed an anti-Dragon move.

Claydol is cool Great spinner and nice move set.



I'm not replacing any pokemon, these are my feavorites. If I can't play with what I want, there is no point in playing. I tried to make them as usable as possible, and I think I did a pretty damn good job. Give me a rating, and any opinions/suggestions.

If there are any bad scores, please post why.

I think your team is gonna be a tad hard to play but i think it can win. So good luck. Hopefully what i said helps.
 
That really lifted my mood, thanks Nighty, and to everyone else that helped.
 
Always play what you like, thats what i do =P
 
Would Stone Edge work better than Rock Slide?

okay, unfortunately i disagree with richard here. i think claydol needs earthpower as it has better sp.att base power. it would make sense since you're giving him ev's in sp.att as well as ice beam.

claydol is a great physical wall with levitate ability. garchomp you can take out with ice beam but you definitely need to prevent him from setting up. i think think your original set for claydol is the best. Don't change it.

The problem here is dusknoir is a physical wall(one of the best at it too) but you really need a special wall. dusknoir can pull off as a special wall but my experience is it's a much better phyical wall. i mean being immune to fighting, normal and ground type moves(most of them are physical moves), and if you buff up its defense, it becomes a pain to beat. WoW also weakens their attack.

Ummm... two things:

1.) Claydol's base Attack and Special Attack is the same (70, if I'm correct), so his attacking power can go either way, depending on the EVs.

2.) Dusknoir doesn't have Levitate, so it's not immune to Ground attacks (it has Pressure).

Will-O-Wisp on Special Wall Dusknoir works out better, since it makes him capable of taking both kinds of hits. You wall Special Attacks, wait for a Physical Sweeper switch in, and Will-O-Wisp. Works perfectly together. I'd only suggest Will-O-Wisp on Physical Wall Dusknoir when it has Mean Look, that way you can absorb hits, and stall 'till the enemy faints.
 
I was gonna do that before you said it. I have no choice. I need a special wall, and I personally like Dusknoir. So he will have to fill that role. I even thought of his name-Grim. Nice, eh?

So, which should Torterra have? The accuracy & PP of Rock Slide, or the sheer power of Stone Edge?
 
So should I change Rock Slide with Stone Edge, then?
 
@_@ ah yes, dusknoir has pressure. with so many ghost and other pokemon with levitate i can't believe i forgot.

still think it's a way better physical wall though. special wall with WoW is just asking anything with guts to come in and sweep your entire team.
 
I might not have a choice in the matter, if I desprately need one, he might be it.
 
Raichu@Enigma
Trait: Static
Nature: Modest/Timid

Rain Dance
Thunder
Nasty Plot
Hp Water

Now in love with this Raichu. *hates Torkoal
 
I am not willing to breed for Water. Took me long enough to get Oddish with ground.
 
Personally I'm not a big fan of that team. Vileplume is one of my favorites. I don't understand your love of Noctowl. I think that pokemon blows. Sorry. I also like the Gyrados. Claydoll doesn't make much sense in my opinion. Torterra is a good pokemon, but I don't use starter pokemon simply because well...I hate them and they seem so...well I just hate them. I'll give you a 3 for Adequate.
 
I'm a bit confused. I see what you mean, but that post was basically personal opinion. Not liking starters? Not like he's hindering my team. Just cause my team is not OU, doesn't mean they can't work in that enviorment. But still, thanks for the post & rate. At least it wasn't a one.


EDIT: And Noctowl stays. She has been pretty good, ask c-dog. I just didn't EV train yet. Unlike most members, I don't play just to win. I just had to find a way to make my favorites as sucessful as possible.

As Nightofshadow said, it will be hard, but I can still win.

I cbf checking if it has already been said, But Starmie owns this team. 4 pokemon weak to ice, also, a HP Ice gengar can own, which is rare, yes, but I do have one :P
 
I knew it! Ice! I was always aware of that, so I wanna teach someone on my team a fire move, or teporarily switch Gyarados with Arcanine.

But a fire move doesn't help against starmie, who would just you know, own (I can remember that gay battle with richard steel, *sigh* starmie owns)

I gave you 5 btw, because your pokemon are so awesomely unique, Kinda like my new team I am making right nows.
