Preparing a team for a tourney...

[Strawberry Delcatty]

Before I get to the team, here are the rules from the site:

1. All the main server rules apply. Type !rules to see what those are.
2. Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, Self-KO Clause, and Battle Timeout must be on.
3. Stadium Mode, Level Balance, and Disallow Spectators must be off.
4. Your team of six must consist of no more than 1 BorderLine-ranked Pokemon and no more than 3 UnderUsed-ranked Pokemon. All OverUsed-ranked Pokemon are forbidden. For a list of the Pokemon and their ranks, scroll down.
5. No Quick Claws. Deal with it!
6. No more than 2 Leftovers per team. Also, deal with it!

I know. Kinda weird...

Persian (M) @ Liechi Berry
Trait: Limber
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Double-Edgei like return better. no recoil
- Fake Outquite useless. you usually get to attack first anyway. flinching is nice but let's face it's not doing much damage anyway. consider "psych up".
- Hypnosislow accuracy but works. you can also try a different physical attack. steel/fighting/ground works nicely.
- Shadow Ball

Delcatty (F) @ Leftovers

i don't use delcatty.. but if you want a heal beller.. you can try vilepume? vilepume is UU i think.. and he's pretty good, very underrated. his stats are similar to that of venasaur's except slower. i like:
vilepume @ lefties
evs: 252hp, 129def, 129sp.def
calm/bold nature
-aromatherapy
-hp fire
-sunny day
-solar beam
you can mess around with the ev's a bit. i had it on my mono grass team for heal belling. with cholorophyll and sunny day raises its speed and its sp.att is pretty good. don't be afraid to put some ev's in sp.att, vilepume is quite versatile. you can also go with annoyer with synthesis, leech seed, sleep powder.

Pidgeot (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Keen Eye
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Hidden Power [Ground]hp ghost
- Aerial Ace
- Return
- Substitutequick attack
i like adament better because at jolly he ain't gonna do anything. also forget lefties on him. you're allowed 2 lefties, and pidgeot doesn't have the defense to warrant lefties. give it "choice band" and he's like a poor man's tauros... well, homeless man's tauros

Grumpig (F) @ White Herb
Trait: Own Tempo
EVs: 129 HP / 129 SAtk / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Confuse Rayrest? or recover if it can learn it
- Psychic
- Calm Mind
- Light Screen
what's with the white herb? might as well put lefties on this guy cuz he's a tank. not familiar with grumpig.. but i think for a tank it's standard if they can recover hp.

Electabuzz (M) @ BrightPowder
Trait: Static
EVs: 44 Def / 252 Spd / 214 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Barriermaybe you can consider fitting in another elemental attack? hp grass perhaps.. even though your tourny disallows swamperts
- Thunderbolt
- Thunder Wave
- Ice Punch
i don't use him, but for a special sweepert you might want to consider lum berry to avoid annoying status(nothing ticks me off than to see my sweepert get put to sleep and KO'd in their sleep when you bring them out later on). you can also try petaya berry since you have a beller.

Venomoth (F) @ Shell Bell
Trait: Shield Dust
EVs: 129 HP / 129 Atk / 252 SAtk
Naughty Nature (+Atk, -SDef)
- Signal Beam
- Sleep Powder
- Substituteyou may consider another status effect like toxic or stun spore. they make him a very annoying pokemon
- Hidden Power [Water]
is venomoth as good as it was in r/b/y? i haven't check out its stats yet but if it's att is pretty good then shell bell works...

i think your team is alright. i'm not familiar with most of the pokes you picked except persian and pidgeot. i think you can probably pick better pokemon even if the tourny banned OU's.. there are some very good BL and UUs.. even NU's.

I responded in your other topic else where

but, you should use the other pokemon suggested

 

[Smeargle_boy]

This is the reccommended team from my crystal guidebook (no moves)

Hitmonlee
Lapras
Jolteon
Houndoom
Lugia
Donphan


Well!?!

 

[Strawberry Delcatty]

I doubt that team will be allowed.
Besides, the tournament will be starting in a few minutes (7 Central time)
