My team

[_yata]

I've taken a highly academic approach to teambuilding. Here's my "beat the snot out of 'em" team that has nearly perfect element structure, and the movesets. Can't decide which to drop so Steelix and Snorlax are alternates.


alakazam
-------------
psychic
recover
hyper beam
counter

dragonite
---------------
outrage
surf
ice punch
fire punch


steelix
--------------
rock slide
rollout
rest
toxic

machamp
--------------
cross chop
ice punch
counter
thunderpunch

gengar
--------------
confuse ray
hypnosis
shadow ball
dream eater

snorlax
--------------
curse
rollout
double edge or solar beam
rest

a team with perfect element structure would be:
(you can't get a team that has good balance with a bigger advantage b/w # of plus matchups and # of minus matchups than the following...)
Skarmory
Latios
Kingdra
[Steel/Fighting]
[Ghost/Dark]
[Fire/Grass]

 

[Ice demon]

whether or not u have all the type coverage the fact that the movesets can't work will make all that work useless...

alakazam[timid]
EVs - Sp,SpAtt,hp
psychic
ice punch/recover
fire punch/recover
thunderpunch/recover

He can't survive any physical hit, so counter is out of the question and he has no attacking stat to speak of so hyper beam is gone.

dragonite[+SpAtt,-Sp]
EVs - hp,SpAtt,Att,Def
focus punch
substitute
ice beam
thunderbolt

ice beam > ice punch
flamethrower > fire punch


Steelix[+Att,-SpAtt]
EVs - hp,Att,Def
earthquake
roar
double edge/rockslide/rest
double edge/explosion/toxic/rest


Please no SpAtts on machamp......unless its fire blast but that sucks neway
Machamp[adamant]@choice band
EVs - Att,Def,hp
focus punch
earthquake
cross chop
rockslide

I like this one but a bulk up set could work

gengar[+Att,-Def]
EVs - Att,SpAtt,Sp
substitute
focus punch
thunderbolt
ice punch

i don't like it buh it works [to some extent]
or just go with - psychic,thunderbolt,ice punch,destiny bond/will-o-wisp/giga drain


Snorlax[adamant]
EVs - hp,Att,SpDef,Def
rest
shadow ball/earthquake
return
curse

or use
snorlax - subsitute,focus punch,shadow ball,return

@ leftovers to all except when otherwise stated


ghost/dark?
as in sableye?

A water type with the moves surf and ice beam could easily take out 5 of your pokemon. Element structure pssh.

 

[Spike Razzor]

I dunno where you got the idea that Hyper Beam Kazam was good... Even if Hyper Beam was usable, Kazam has extremly low physical attack power, so it does close to nothing... Just take Ice Demons advice.
