    My team needs a few tweaks so give me the best rates you know. Also, don't bag my team, you may be a pro but guess what? I'm not. Maybe suggest some other pokemon to fix up my team. I suck at EVs. (Remember, NetBattle doesn't have Diamond & Pearl pokemon, don't suggest new pokemon and moves, I'm not using Shoddy Battle yet.)

    Heracross (M) @ Salac Berry/Choice Band
    Trait: Guts
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Brick Break
    - Earthquake
    - Megahorn
    - Rock Slide

    Good start. Jolly over adamant maybe, but it's fine. I'd give it guts, though it's up to you

    Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Natural Cure
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Defense / 6 Special Defense
    Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
    - Aromatherapy
    - Seismic Toss
    - Softboiled
    - Thunder Wave

    Again, looks great. Fixed the EVs for ya. That EV spread is the best, trust me. Moveset is a-okay.

    Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers ** Fatty-Poomba
    Trait: Thick Fat
    EVs: 252 HP / 132 Defense / 126 Attack
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Curse
    - Rest
    - Shadow Ball
    - Return

    Standard Curselax. Works very well. Pretty simple, use curse a few times and punish the foe! Since you already have bliss as your sp. wall, I meesed with Curselax's EVs a bit.

    Metagross @ Leftovers
    Trait: Clear Body
    EVs: 252 Atk / the rest in Defense/HP and speed...can't give exact numbers
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Earthquake
    - Explosion
    - Meteor Mash
    - Agility

    Agiligross at its finest. Pretty easy to use...not much more to say here.

    Gengar (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Levitate
    EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
    Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
    - Destiny bond
    - Ice Punch
    - Wiil-o-Wisp/Hypnosis/Haze/HP special
    - Thunderbolt

    Gengar has 65 base attack...not good. Use special attacks and status moves only on Gar. Lots of choices, some I didn't even mention. Choices choices choices!

    Entei @ Leftovers
    Trait: Pressure
    EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Def / 4 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - HP physical
    - Iron Tail
    - Roar
    - Return

    You've chosen Entei, possibly the worst legendary ever...EVER. It's movepool is the size of Vatican City (very small) and I just don't recommend it. If you have to use Iron tail, something's not right. Replacing it is in your best interest. I'll post a set though...

    Overall it's a good team. No glaring weaknesses...nice job!

    Okay, thanks. Since you said Entei is possibly the worst legendary, could you suggest a poke to replace it?

    Since you don't really have a physical wall, sure. S-T-E-E-L-I-X! Its monster defense is matched only by regirock and shuckle. Geodude can get it EQ and Explosion as egg moves. USe those as well as roar and rest/toxic and you're set. Forretress and Skarm are good options as well.

    CB over salac

    Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Natural Cure

    Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
    - Aromatherapy
    - Seismic Toss
    - Softboiled
    - Thunder Wave

    Snorlax and blissey dont work well together. replace one of them. if your keeping bliss then the set is alright (i like ice beam better than thunder wave), though evs are a bit wtf and nature should be bold (if ya using ice beam).

    Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers ** Fatty-Poomba
    Trait: Thick Fat
    EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Body Slam
    - Rest
    - Shadow Ball
    - Sleep Talk

    if your keeping snorlax then use curselax set.

    Metagross @ Leftovers
    Trait: Clear Body
    EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 SAtk
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Earthquake
    - Explosion
    - Rock Slide
    - Thunderpunch

    a hoi hoi, you said it wasn't dp right? then no thunderpunch. needs more meteor mash.

    Gengar (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Levitate
    EVs: 91 Def / 160 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
    Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
    - Brick Break
    - Ice Punch
    - Shadow Ball
    - Thunderbolt

    focus punch over brick break and sub over shadow ball/ice punch.

    Entei @ Leftovers
    Trait: Pressure
    EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Def / 4 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Flamethrower
    - Iron Tail
    - Substitute
    - Toxic

    hmm tough one. i would imagine sunny day to be useful over here but idk tbh. fire blast over flamethrower. moltres is always better than this.

    lacks physical defence but a solid team overall. evs are a bit wack though.

    For Entei, what about a sunnybeamer? Or are you going for physical?

    Entei @ Leftovers
    Trait: Pressure
    Modest Nature (+SAtk ,-Atk)
    - Solarbeam
    - Sunny Day
    - Calm Mind
    - Flamethrower

    I don't know about EV spreads for this though...

    If you still decide to use Entei, you should use him in the following way:

    Entei @ Leftovers
    Ability: Pressure
    EVs: 132 HP / 80 Def / 220 Spd / 76 SAtk
    Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
    - Calm Mind
    - Flamethrower
    - Hidden Power (Grass)
    - Substitute
    Entei gets one thing the other legends don't get. 404 Subs against Blissey. Scores you a free CM, and a chance at actually sweeping the opponent's team. But since Salamence and a few selected Ground Types wall it, it's no wonder why Entei is hardly used.

    Gengar (M) @ Petaya Berry
    Trait: Levitate
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 Satk
    Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
    - Focus Blast
    - Substitute
    - Shadow Ball
    - Sludge Bomb

    works well for me

    Sludge Bomb is a no-no, only covers one type, grass. Put Hypnosis instead of sub with the wide glasses. T-bolt over Sludge Bomb. Now it covers many types, and can "boltbeam" when you add HP ice if you'd like. I prefer Focus Blast, Hyp., Tbolt, and Shad. Ball. Works very well.

    EDIT: I feel this needs to be brought up: I am a member of pe2k, but I found lugialord on pe2k posting his team:

    "My team needs a few tweaks so give me the best rates you know. Also, don't bag my team, you may be a pro but guess what? I'm not. Maybe suggest some other pokemon to fix up my team. I suck at EVs. (Remember, NetBattle doesn't have Diamond & Pearl pokemon, don't suggest new pokemon and moves, I'm not using Shoddy Battle yet.)

    *insert team here*

    I also use Pkmncommunity so I copied my team (not using their suggestions) so I could get your suggestions/opinions about this team. No flaming."

    Uh, then why post? At least tell us you're not taking our suggestions. BTW, most of our suggestions are correct, but, whatever. I'll make sure to leave a reply, you'll know who I am, quickly. Really, couldn't you have at least told us? No physical wall is never good. And, 252 sp. att. EVs on a physical Metagross? Uh, okay. If I were a mod this would be locked. Really, all is forgiven if you just tell me why...because tomorrow is my last day of summer and I'm not wasting it responding to people who don't need the help. Sorry for going bananas, but this doesn't make sense...
