please rate my first team! :)

[shadowmoon]

this is the first team that i built. it is mostly based on which pokemon are my favorites, but i think it is pretty decent and rounded.

i cant give evs because im not quite sure how to calculate them

Ivysaur(not going evolve it)
nature: sassy
ability: overgrow
moves:
giga drain
leech seed
toxic
sludge bomb

i think this move set is fine. i don't want to get rid of sludge bomb since it was a tm move and it feels like i wasted it if i take it out.

Froslass
nature: lax
ability: snow cloak
moves:
blizzard
hail
double team
shadow ball

i'm thinking of replacing double team with thunder wave, is that a good idea? however, double team seems to be a good move with hail because of froslass' ability

Skarmory
nature: hasty
ability: sturdy
moves:
spikes
drill peck
roost
steel wing

i like this move set. i don't think i'll replace any moves, except, maybe switch drill peck for fly

houndoom
nature:mild
ability: flash fire
moves, currently:
flamethrower
dark pulse
embargo
nasty plot

my special sweeper. should i switch embargo for will-o-wisp? i like embargo because no items can be used (and most of the time, i'm not battling competitively) yet will-o-wisp provides more status support

gallade
ability: steadfast
nature: relaxed
moves:
night slash
psycho cut
brick break
swords dance

my physical sweeper.

lanturn
ability: volt absorb
nature: gentle
moves:
thunder bolt
surf
ice beam
confuse ray

any improvements?

 

[t99zz]

personally this would suck as an online team but for in game it's ok

a good moveset for your
Gallade
Ability: Steadfast
Item: Choice Scarf/Life Orb (depends on the nature you want)
Nature: Jolly/Adamant
Moveset:
Leaf Blade
Close Combat
Earthquake
Psycho Cut

those are the moves mine has and online battles work well with this setup

also to ev train you beat a certain amount of pokemon with the pokemon you are ev training for example if you beat 252 starlys you will get 252 speed ev's the max you can have for one stat is 255 but since they work in sets of 4 you would only want to get 252 as a max. also the maximum one pokemon can have is 510 so you want to be mindful of which stats you want to be the best. for info on what each pokemon gives out as ev points go to serebii.
Hope this helps

Changes for your ivysaur are listed below.
Ivysaur(not going evolve it)
nature: sassy
ability: overgrow
moves:
Instead of Giga drain, which only has 5pp, how 'bout energy ball?
Two moves of the same type is a waste. How about facade?
I will let the "no two moves of the same type rule" slide here 'cause toxic is not an attacking move.
sludge bomb

My rating before- 2/5
My rating after-4/5

 

[Ghostrk9]

i will try to help in bold for you

Ivysaur(not going evolve it) why not!?
nature: sassy
ability: overgrow

Froslass
nature: lax
ability: snow cloak
moves:
ice beam!
thunderbolt, hail will hurt the rest of your team
double team or maybe twave

i'm thinking of replacing double team with thunder wave, is that a good idea? yep however, double team seems to be a good move with hail because of froslass' ability

Skarmory

depending on how much attack he has go for thunder fang or something else not embargo!
nasty plot

my special sweeper. should i switch embargo for will-o-wisp? i like embargo because no items can be used (and most of the time, i'm not battling competitively) yet will-o-wisp provides more status support how in the world is this a special sweeper?
