Rate my team

This is my first team in Diamond and couldn't be more of a OU Team, but I like it :) I'd like some advice on Items and Moves, please.. Here it Goes:

Snorlax @ ???
Careful
168 HP/ 220 Sp.Def/ 120 Def
-Body Slam
-Curse
-Earthquake
-Rest

A standard Curselax. Do leftovers go nice here? Also, is EQ A good choice? It's been proven good after a few curses, but Crunch also seems appealing..

Skarmory@ Leftovers
Impish
252 HP/252 Def/ 6 Sp. Def
-Drill Peck
-Roost
-Roar
-Stealth Rock

Yeah, not the best EV spread, probably. Stealth rock or Spikes.. I had a few problem picking on Stealth Rock or Spikes.. I'm thinking about Getting a Weezing or Tangrowth here, though..

Electivire@ Expert Belt/ Life ORb
Mild
76 Atk / 252 SpA / 180 Spd
-Thunderbolt
-Flamethrower
-Cross Chop
-Earthquake

I decided to go with a Mix Set because I found out my Electivire had Flawless IV's in Sp. Atk. It has worked quite good with me, despite the lack of a HP Ice or Ice Punch.. 2 EQ in my team :P

Salamence@ Expert Belt/ Life Orb
Mild
120 Atk / 252 SpA / 136 Spe
-Brick Break
-Draco Meteor
-Flamethrower
-Crunch/EQ/Roost

MixMence. If I pick a Life Orb, I'd like to go with Roost on the last set... Hmm.. How o you see this one?

Tyranitar@ ???
Jolly
252 Atk/252 Spd/6 HP
-Crunch
-Ice Fang
-EQ
-Dragon Dance
A Dragon Dancing Tyranitar. I picked Ice Fang over Ice Beam for the Dragon Dances and EV's, but I might have trouble with Hippowdon or Gliscor, won't I? Item Please?

Starmie@ ???
Timid
172 HP / 120 SpA / 216 Spd
-Ice Beam
-Surf
-Recover
-Rapid Spin

My Spinner.. Again, I suck at Items...

So tell me what do ya think and what should I change, people. Thanks:)

 

[Espreon]

Yeah Curselax goes with Leftovers, give Tyranitar and Starmie leftovers as well. Go with Life Orb on Salamence.

replace snorlax's rest with toxic. World proest move

I hope you are rating with proper knowledge, AFAIK Blueberry told us not to give advice w/o proper knowledge...

Earthquake is Ok on Snorlax, but without crunch, Gengar's will wall you completely.


and i think a Skarmory set looks something like this.

Skarmory@Shed Shell / Leftovers
Impish
252 Hp / 64 Atk / 194 Def or 252 Hp / 44 Attack / 214 Def
-Drill Peck / BraveBird
-Roost
-Spikes/Stealth Rock
-Roar/Whirlwind

3 layers of spikes will take like 25% of a pokemons Hp if they switch in, but it doesn't hurt flyer's and Pokemon with levitate.

Stealth Rock is rock based attack that can hit any Pokemon
it can take 3.125% ,6.25%, 12.5%, 25% or 50% out of your max hp depending on their resistance to rock type.

Snorlax @Leftovers
Careful
168 HP/ 220 Sp.Def/ 120 Def
-Body Slam
-Curse
-Earthquake
-Rest



Skarmory@ Shed Shell
Impish
252 HP/16 att / 200 def / 40 sp.def
-Brave Bird
-Roost
-Whirlwind
-Stealth Rock / Spikes


This team cant do anything to Gyarados, so Brave Bird will at least allow you to dent it, also ohkoing infernape switch ins and can actually do damage when called for, Drill peck sucks ass tbh. Also as this is your primary phys wall, use shed shell, or Magnezone goes lol

Whirlwind >> Roar, Soundproof users may be rare, but they screw you over otherwise, i found this out the hard way =[




Electivire@ Expert Belt/ Life ORb
Mild
76 Atk / 252 SpA / 180 Spd
-Thunderbolt
-Flamethrower
-Cross Chop
-Hidden power Ice

Walled by dragons otherwise=)

Salamence@Life Orb
Mild
120 Atk / 252 SpA / 136 speed
-Brick Break
-Draco Meteor
-Flamethrower
-Crunch / Roost / Dragon Claw

No Draco meteor = Fail This 110% needs a Life Orb

Tyranitar@Black Glasses / Leftovers
Jolly
252 Atk/252 Spd/6 HP
-Crunch
-Stone Edge / Taunt
-EQ
-Dragon Dance

Ewww Ice fang ? Just use Stone Edge or Taunt, you already have overkill on Mixed sweepers anyways, Black Glasses lets you 2hko Swampert with Crunch after a DD.

Starmie@Leftovers
Timid
172 HP / 120 SpA / 216 Spd
-Thunderbolt
-Surf
-Recover
-Rapid Spin

Thunderbolt or Gyarados says Kthnxbai to this team.

Yeah,changes and suggestions in bold.


Electivire, Tyranitar, Gyarados weak. Ive fixed the latter, but you need a counter for the first two, T-Tar just Taunts Skarm, DD's up and owns your team. Electivire, is just electivire and you have nothing that even takes less than SE damage from it.

Bulky ground types are handy for the two former.

 

[flamehaze94]

I don't like Brick Break on MixMence :/

252/252 is perfectly fine for Skarm anyway

Snorlax REALLY wants Leftovers, always, unless it has Choice Band

 

[_Diego//]

Hmm.. I see. Oh, by the way, I do have Draco Meteor on my Mence. Mistake right there :P Ok. Thanks for help people.. I what I can do here.

Thing is.. my Electivire's HP is Ice with a power of 43 >.< Is that worth it?

Hm.. and, would it be of some help if I replaced Skarmory with a Tangrowth?
