Rate My First Team

[GreyShadow]

This is the team I want to use but I still need some help

Lucario@ Salac Berry
Inner Focus
252 Spd 252 Atk 4 HP
Jolly
-Close Combat
-Swords Dance
-Extremespeed?
-Shadow Claw/Crunch

Role: Lucario, the Swords Dance Sweeper. I don't know what I could replace for Extremespeed or should I just use it? But Close Combat has great type coverage and STAB. I'm also debating for Shadow Claw and Crunch.

Metagross@ Leftovers
Clear Body
252 Atk 252 HP 4 Def
Adamant
-Meteor Mash
-Ice Punch
-Zen Headbutt
-Explosion

Role: Meteor Mash and Zen provide STAB and together have great type coverage. Ice Punch is there for other types out there and Explosion is used for those tough situations when Meta is going to die.

Gengar@ Life Orb
Levitate
252 SAtk 252 Spd 4 HP
Modest
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast
-Thunder Bolt
-HP Fire

Role: A typical Special Sweeper. Shadow Ball may not have the best type coverage but it is a great move for Gengar. Focus Blast gets rid of many types and is very powerful overall. Thunder Bolt gets rid of other types as well and HP Fire causes problems for many types too, Steel in paticular.

Electivire@ Expert Belt
Moter Drive
252 Atk 252 Spd 4 HP
Adamant
-Thunder Punch
-Ice Punch
-Earthquake
-Cross Chop

Role: The MUST HAVE Electivire that does an amazing job in most situations. The rest is self-explanitory.

Magmortar@ Choice Specs
Flame Body
252 Atk 252 Spd 4 HP
Modest
-HP Ice
-Psychic
-Overheat
-???

Role: Although very slow, Magmortar is very powerful and a Choice Moveset can be deadly. I just need help picking a final move because I've got no ideas whatsoever.

DD-tar@ Leftovers
Sand Stream
252 Atk 25d Spd 4 Def
Adamant
-Crunch
-Stone Edge
-Dragon Dance
-Taunt

Role: 2 Great STAB moves and 1 or 2 Dragon Dances pretty much gets the job done. Taunt helps a lot too.

Please rate and help me out a bit because this is my first attempt at a competitive team. Thanks :D

-Swords Dance

-Shadow Claw/Crunch

Yes, but Salac Berry sucks. Adamant >>>> Jolly. ~_~

Metagross@ Lum Berry
Clear Body
252 Atk 252 HP 4 Def
Adamant
-Meteor Mash
-Bullet Punch
-Stealth Rock
-Explosion / Earthquake

Lead with this. You need BP for sash leads. Any team without SR = lol.


Gengar@ Life Orb
Levitate
216 SAtk 252 Spd 42 Att
Hasty
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast
-Explosion
-HP Fire

Hasty>> Modest.

Use Explosion, this lets you lure in Blissey which helps Mag sweep

Electivire@ Life Orb
Moter Drive
252 Atk 252 Spd 4 HP
Adamant
-Thunder Punch
-Ice Punch
-Earthquake
-Meditate


Role: The MUST HAVE Electivire that does an amazing job in most situations. <---No, it sucks and is walled by everything lol.

Physical Vire needs Meditate or its honestly even more horrible.

Magmortar@ Choice Specs
Flame Body
252 Atk 252 Spd 4 HP
Modest
-HP Ice
-Thunderbolt
-Overheat
-Focus Blast

Yes.

lol Psychic.

DD-tar@ Bibari Berry
Sand Stream
252 Atk 25d Spd 4 Def
Jolly
-Crunch
-Stone Edge
-Dragon Dance
-Fire Punch

You NEED Jolly to beat Starmie etc after a boost.

Taunt doesn't help DDTar anymore. Use Fire Punch + Bibari Berry for Scizor.

Ok, no answer to Gyarados is really bad or even a water resistance. Id replace the rather useless Magmortar with something like;

Suicune@Leftovers
172 HP / 120 DEF / 216 SPEED
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- HP Electric
- Ice Beam
- Hydro Pump

Helps with Gyarados and is able to sweep once Bliss has been lured in by Gar. Also cushions bullet punches from Scizor easier.

Thank you :D. I was thinking about giving up on Magmortar anyway.

One more thing, any other choices besides Suicune? Nothing wrong with it infact I really like this suggestion, It's just that when my friends play we don't use legendaries when we have tournaments (which is quite often).

The Rotom formes do great against Gyara, so you can try out those. Ehh outside of that Starmie and Vaporeon are ok checks I guess.

Well I guess I'm ging with a water type but the thing is which one? I think I might go with Starmie.

 

[Tinhead Bruce]

Hah, well I haven't played in a while, but from what I know Vappy counters Gyara much better than Starmie (Starmie as a wall, rofl).
Then again, what do I know?
