Please, Need Help With My Team

I like the items on Heracross...

Salac Berry on Heracross was only used on the Endure+Reversal set but thanks to all the Sandstreamers/status-inflictions/etc. the set is rarely used anymore. Plus, chances are if your HP goes low enough to get the Salac-boost, he's pretty much screwed anyway.

Not eaxactly. though it is most common on the failure reversal set. though unless ansstorm is active, hera is fine on low HP.

Oh, chestorest = EPIC fail. Run lefties ALWAYS on snorlax, unless it's some novelty.
 
I'll change the items on the three pokemon. I trust your guy's judgement. Thanks so much, this has helped a ton. =)

Metagross needs no Def EV's. So I would give all of it to speed.

Metagross @ Leftovers/Leichi Berry
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 140 HP / 252 Atk / 118 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Agility
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Meteor Mash

The extra speed will prove to be assisting and Leichi Berry is worth consideration.

Heracross is not a Leftovers type pokemon. It's born into combat.

Heracross (M) @ Salac Berry
Trait: Guts
EVs: 252 Atk / 6 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Brick Break
- Megahorn
- Rock Slide/Endure
- Swords Dance


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

A Bolt Beam set is usually what Starmies needs. The speed will be enough to combat Gengar.

Are Leftovers worth it on Heracross? Aren't there better options in the the 3rd Gen?

EDIT: Just woke up. Really bad grammar at the moment.

IMO Leftovers aren't really my thing for sweepers, I usually go with Life Orb, belts etc etc. but Heracross has Guts so why not try some Status Orbs for Hera?

Fine.

No...if the berry activates and you see skarm come in, expect roar or drill peck...so you'd either switch or kinda be forced to...bye bye salac boost. Pinch berries only work on certain pokemon, heracross not being one of them.

Heracross (M) @ Salac Berry
Trait: Guts
EVs: 252 Atk / 6 HP / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Brick Break
- Megahorn
- Rock Slide/Endure
- Swords Dance

Endure is made of epic fail *coughTTarcough* and I'd still run CBcross, as I've used both sets and the CB hera is far superior, but oh well...

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

Who leaves gengar in against starmie? surf over recover.

Edit in bold. Don't get me started on why slalac berry isn't all people say it can be, bacause it kinda...no sugar coating this...it sucks.
 
I'm winning battles!! Thanks to all of you guys, I appreciate it.
 
Sandstreamers like Tyranitar are growing. I'd rather you not use Endureversaling. Maybe you can give Heracross a Choice Scarf

It's 3rd gen Penguin...I mean, you're like, the 4th person to make that mistake...Netbattle = 3rd gen = ADV, for furure reference...

You have a bit of a TTar weak, so watch out...you better hope heracross isn't dead.
 
If my Dragonite can get one dragon dance off before, he could beat TTar. Also my metagross could take it down same with starmie unless it has crunch. But since these options aren't as reliable as I might hope, it might take a few pokemon to take TTar down.

TTar doesn't need to win. But as long as it even TOUCHES the battle field, Sandstream would kick in - destroying all Endureversalers.

A-gack <.<;

Still, my point is that either way, T-Tar is going to destroy Endureversaling.
 
yes, that makes sense. But my heracross doesn't have endure or reversal. I don't think it ever did.
 
you had endure, which isn't so great itself...but in 3rd gen, CBcross = win.
