    [PokeCommunity.com] Need Help with this Team

    Ninetales (F) @ Balloon
    Trait: Drought
    EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
    Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
    - Energy Ball
    - Fire Blast
    - Hidden Power [Ground]
    - Nasty Plot
    This is pretty reliable, kind of obvious as far as how I'm going to use it though,
    it can sometimes get a quick kill in if someone isn't paying attention and
    tries to set up or let me set up.

    Arcanine (F) @ Life Orb
    Trait: Flash Fire
    EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Flare Blitz
    - Nitro Charge
    - Morning Sun
    - Close Combat
    She's alright, I've only used her to take out like Heatran, and Tyranitar.
    No one expects Close Combat on it, and it's like BAM.
    It gets taken out way to easily. I think this needs to go.

    Doredia (F) @ Life Orb
    Trait: Chlorophyll
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
    Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
    - Butterfly Dance
    - Hidden Power [Ice]
    - Giga Drain
    - Sleep Powder
    Very Reliable, my main sweeper, except that she dies if someone sets up before hand and kills one of my pokemon and I have to send this in.
    Sleep Clause really kills this because when it puts something to sleep and
    they switch it out and hide it, and then it has nothing it can do except hit until it dies.

    Hitmontop (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Intimidate
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
    Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
    - Close Combat
    - Rapid Spin
    - Foresight
    - Sucker Punch
    Again, not as reliable as I thought it would be,
    but it's the only good sweeper not hindered by the effects of Drought.
    It's really frail despite the EV's.
    It can't hit anything because it's countered very easily by Gyra and others.

    Venusaur (M) @ Life Orb
    Trait: Chlorophyll
    EVs: 252 Atk / 20 Def / 236 Spd
    Naughty Nature (+Atk, -SDef)
    - Power Whip
    - Growth
    - Hidden Power [Fire]
    - Earthquake
    A very powerful sweeper when used in combination with Doredia.
    I can get at least one growth in and then a powerwhip.
    Some people don't expect the HP fire.

    Rankurusu (M) @ Life Orb
    Trait: Magic Guard
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
    Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
    - Calm Mind
    - Psychic
    - Recover
    - Focus Blast
    Way to expected, and easily countered. It's still good for me.
    Taunted right away to avoid a calm mind.
    I'm thinking of running the trick room set like I did before,
    even though it isn't a trick room team because that caught people off guard
    because I use him middle/late game.​



    Thanks for looking over my team and reviewing it. If you wanna catch me on PO I have the same name on there, and I'm almost always in the Main Chat, Except if Blade needs to talk to me in Trade Corner Chat.
     
    Arcanine: IMO, I'd have Wild Charge over Flame/Nitro Charge because it's fast enough already and needs another way to deal with bulky waters outside of Close Combat.

    Hitmontop: Close Combat kills your defenses, so Hi Jump Kick is a better option over that (HJK got a power boost in Gen V).
     
    I may be crazy, but your team needs SEXY MOTH!! <333
    Butterfly Dance needs to be Spammed! XD
    Urugamosu is even more of a beast in the Sun. :3

    But your team looks nice~
    Hmmm, Doreida needs less speed investment, for one. Between Butterfly Dances and Chlorophyll, she will be fast enough to outspeed most threats. Put some into HP and/or Special Defense for more Bulkiness.
    I also like Raikou for any weather teams! :3
    With the additions of Aura Sphere and Weather Ball, he is a nice addition to any weather Team. And Tyranitar, unless it is heavily invested in Special Defence, is always OHKO'd by a +1 Aura Sphere from Raikou in a Sand Storm.
    Just run it with Modest/Timid Nature
    252 split.
    Calm Mind
    Thunder Bolt
    Aura Sphere
    Substitute/Weather Ball

    You could overwrite Arcanine for him~

    Oh yesh.
    And I'd take the Balloon off Ninetales for a Focus Sash.
    Ninetales is just too weak to take attacks from physical hits, and Stone edge is something commonly run with Earthquake.
