Please Rate My First OU Team

[Rabid Ditto3 8]

This is my first team for competitive battling. I'm not sure how the team works together, i haven't tried them out yet. I'd like suggestions for different items to use. Also please don't suggest using Hidden Power for a move because except for one of my pokes, i don't really like breeding to get the perfect IV's.

Weavile @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Pressure
Nature: Hardy
EV's: HP 4/ Atk 252/ Speed 252
-Ice Punch
-Ice Shard
-Night Slash
-Taunt

Taunt utilizes speed to beat Stealth Rocks. Night Slash and Ice Punch offer powerful STAB. Ice Shard is to ensure a first strike when necessary.

Ludicolo @ Big Root
Swift Swim
Timid
HP 4/ Def 252/ SpAtk 252
-Rain Dance
-Surf
-Giga Drain
-Toxic

Rain Dance will act as a speed boost and a power boost for Surf. Giga Drain acts with Big Root to restore health. Both attacks take advantage of Ludicolo's high special attack. Toxic is always good to infect your enemy.

Gallade @ Black Belt
Steadfast
Quiet (I know it's bad)
HP 4/ Atk 252/ Speed 252
-Psycho Cut
-Close Combat
-Swords Dance
-Night Slash

Swords Dance can allow a sweep. Close Combat offers a massive STAB attack. Psycho Cut and Night Slash offer coverage against fighting and ghost, respectively.

Mamoswine @ Soft Sand
Oblivious
Careful
HP 4/ Atk 252/ SpDef 252
-Ice Shard
-Earthquake
-Ice Fang
-Stealth Rock

Mamoswine provides a tank who can lay down rocks and deal large amounts of damage with Ice Fang and Earthquake. Ice Shard is always helpful to surprise opponents with speed.

Hitmontop @ Leftovers
Technician
Careful
HP 252/ Def 128/ SpDef 128
-Rapid Spin
-Brick Break
-Triple Kick
-Rest

Hitmontop is here to support the others. Rapid Spin clears the field of hazards. Brick Break can break barriers. Triple Kick is efficient in breaking Substitutes. Rest is obviously to stay alive.

Camerupt @ Insect Plate
Rock Solid
Hardy
HP 4/ Atk 252/ Def 252
-Rock Slide
-Lava Plume
-Earthquake
-Hidden Power Bug

Rock Slide and Earthquake take advantage of Camerupt's good attack. Lava Plume is there for STAB and type coverage. HP is an unexpected offense against psychics.

This is my first team for competitive battling. I'm not sure how the team works together, i haven't tried them out yet. I'd like suggestions for different items to use.

Weavile @ Life Orb
Trait: Pressure
Nature: Hardy / Jolly
EV's: HP 4/ Atk 252/ Speed 252
-Ice Punch / Ice Shard
-Swords Dance
-Night Slash
-Brick Break

Looking at your EV's, your Weavile should be use to sweep late in the game.

Ludicolo @ Life Orb / Damp Rock
Swift Swim
Timid / Modest
HP 4/ Def 252/ SpAtk 252
-Rain Dance
-Surf
-Grass Knot
-Ice Beam

Rain Dance will act as a speed boost and a power boost for Surf. Grass Knot to 2HKO a bulky Gyarados with Life Orb. Ice Beam to OHKO against Salamence and Dragonite who resist Water and Grass.

Gallade @ Life Orb
Steadfast
Quiet (I know it's bad)
HP 4/ Atk 252/ Speed 252
-Psycho Cut
-Close Combat
-Swords Dance
-Night Slash / Ice Punch

Swords Dance can allow a sweep. Close Combat offers a massive STAB attack. Psycho Cut offers coverage against fighting and ghost, respectively. Ice Punch if you want as it can destroy Gliscor, giving Gallade a massive advantage over Heracross, who can otherwise outclass this set.

Mamoswine @Expert Belt / Leftovers
Oblivious / Snow Cloak
Careful / Adamant
HP 4/ Atk 252/ SpDef 252
-Ice Shard
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge / Toxic
-Stealth Rock

Mamoswine provides a tank who can lay down rocks and deal large amounts of damage with Earthquake. Ice Shard is always helpful to surprise opponents with speed. You do not need two ice moves.

Hitmontop @ Life Orb
Technician
Careful / Adamant
HP 252/ Def 128/ SpDef 128
-Fake out
-Close Combat
-Sucker Punch
-Mach Punch

This is an example of a Technician Hitmontop.

Camerupt @ Choice Band
Solid Rock
Hardy / Brave
HP 4/ Atk 252/ Def 252
-Stone Edge
-Overheat
-Earthquake
-Explosion


Camerupt is better for Choice band. Earthquake for STAB, Stone Edge to destroy Flying types. Overheat for secondary STAB. Explosion for destruction.

Changes are in Bold. Please look through it.

Weavile @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Pressure
Nature: Hardy
EV's: HP 4/ Atk 252/ Speed 252
-Ice Punch
-Ice Shard
-Night Slash
-Taunt

ScarfWeavile set is a no-no, if you're going to lead with it I'd suggest Anti-Lead Weavile.

Weavile@ Focus Sash
Nature : Jolly / Hasty
EV : 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
-Taunt
-Fake Out
-Counter
-Ice Punch / Counter

Taunt to stop SR, Counter to knock them out and Fake Out to break Sashes.

Ludicolo @ Big Root
Swift Swim
Timid
HP 4/ Def 252/ SpAtk 252
-Rain Dance
-Surf
-Giga Drain
-Toxic

And that Ludicolo set is pretty ew, Rain Dance doesn't really help your other team members. You could run Offensive Rain Dance for a good clean-up sweeper or Specs could work. Either

Ludicolo@ Life Orb
Nature : Modest
EV : 4 Def / 252 SpAtk / 252 Spe
~ Surf / Hydro Pump
~ Grass Knot / Energy Ball
~ Ice Beam
~ Rain Dance / Focus Punch

Or

Ludicolo@ Choice Specs
Nature : Modest
EV : 252 HP / 252 SpAtk / 4 Spe
~ Surf
~ Grass Knot / Energy Ball
~ Ice Beam
~ Hydro Pump / Focus Punch

Gallade @ Black Belt
Steadfast
Quiet (I know it's bad)
HP 4/ Atk 252/ Speed 252
-Psycho Cut
-Close Combat
-Swords Dance
-Night Slash

Seriously don't run Quiet on Gallade, it is more useless then Bashful lol
Please use this set.

Gallade@ Life Orb
Nature : Adamant / Jolly
EV : 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
-Swords Dance
-Close Combat
-Ice Punch / Stone Edge
-Psycho Cut / Night Slash

Mamoswine @ Soft Sand
Oblivious
Careful
HP 4/ Atk 252/ SpDef 252
-Ice Shard
-Earthquake
-Ice Fang
-Stealth Rock

Use Snow Cloak please, no one uses Attract. Plus Adamant > Careful and throw a Life Orb on him or Leftovers if you like.

Hitmontop @ Leftovers
Technician
Careful
HP 252/ Def 128/ SpDef 128
-Rapid Spin
-Brick Break
-Triple Kick
-Rest

No one uses Spin anymore except for stall teams and here's a better Hitmontop Spinner set :>

Hitmontop@ Leftovers
Nature : Impish
EV : 252 HP / 172 Def / 184 Spe
-Rapid Spin
-Close Combat
-Toxic
-Stone Edge

To be brutally honest, this team could use some replacements. Camerupt just isn't suited to OU play really. I suggest using Scarftran so you can cover some threats by revenge-killing.

Heatran@ Choice Scarf
Nature : Naive
EV : 4 HP / 252 SpAtk / 252 Spe
-Fire Blast
-Explosion
-HP Ice
-Earth Power.

Also you could switch Weavile to the CB variant and make Mamo your lead. Hitmontop isn't doing much to be brutally honest, you should replace him as well. Perhaps with a wall-breaker like Mixmence.

Salamence@ Life Orb
Nature : Mild
EV : 84 Atk / 216 Spe / 208 Spe
~ Draco Meteor
~ Earthquake
~ Fire Blast
~ Outrage / Roost

Or the Old Mixmence

Salamence@ Life Orb
Nature : Rash
EV : 80 Atk / 252 SpAtk / 176 Spe
~ Draco Meteor
~ Fire Blast
~ Brick Break
~ Roost / Crunch

Your altered team would be this :

-Mamoswine
-Ludicolo
-Weavile
-Gallade
-Salamence
-Heatran

Anyways wait for DA or Anti to give you a better rate. I'm just trying to help with the movesets.

 

[Mobile Tsk]

Ludi without a supporting RD team is lol. Otherwise it still has good coverage but is absolutely unusable with that set. If you want a dependent stall:

Ludicolo @ Leftovers
Ability: Swift Swim
252 HP / 200 SpA / 48 SpD / 8 Spe
Modest / Timid Nature
+Leech Seed
+Surf / Ice Beam
+Grass Knot / Energy Ball
+Rain Dance

If you want something more offensive:

Ludicolo @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
+Surf
+Ice Beam
+Grass Knot / Energy Ball
+Rain Dance

 

[Malevolent Mismagius]

Please remove Big Root and Giga Drain from Ludi. I don't have much experience with UU/BL so I don't know what to replace them with though. You could opt for the sets Pokedra mentioned earlier??

 

[Rabid Ditto3 8]

Alright thanks for the suggestions everybody i'm definitely going to change up a lot of the items and move-sets, send Mamo to front, and re-breed Gallade. Although i think i like hitmontop... I already trained him so i'll give him a shot before replacing him.
