Rate this team before Chuck Norris attacks

[Dragon Tamer Ed]

Yep. I told Chuck to Roundhouse Kick some lucky member of this forum into the Sun if this team is not rated. Will it be you? Anyway...

Salamence@Life Orb
Bashful (It's shiny so I can't exactly get another one with a better nature)
-Earthquake
-Dragon Claw
-Flamethrower
-Roost/Thunder Fang

Flamethrower is there as I wanted a Mixed Sweeper, as well as it being my only counter for Skarmory and Bronzong. The last set I'm not sure about because I have a Wish-Passer so no need for Roost. Thunder Fang is for Bulky Waters but it would only do a little more damage than Dragon Claw.

Feraligatr@Expert Belt
Jolly
-Dragon Dance
-Aqua Tail
-Brick Break
-Ice Punch

Before you say anything, EQ isn't on here because AT and BB cover most of its types, plus Salamence has it already.

Yanmega@King's Rock(Maybe exchange for Wise Glasses)
Modest
Trait: Speed Boost
-Bug Buzz
-Ancientpower
-Giga Drain/Psychic/HP(depending on type)
-Protect

Giga Drain is possibly Yanmega's greatest hope against it's big Rock weakness, but since Roserade will know it too, I thought to maybe exchange it for a move that covers the remaining types that the rest of the team hasn't covered yet.

Roserade@Big Root
Timid
Trait: Natural Cure
-Sleep Powder
-Leech Seed
-Aromatherapy
-Giga Drain

Probably the best cleric that isn't Blissey. (I don't like Cookie-Cutting.) Plus Leech Seed and Sleep Powder for some stalling and annoyance. Big Root to increase the power of Leech Seed and Giga Drain.

Umbreon@Leftovers
Impish
-Mean Look
-Toxic/Confuse Ray
-Baton Pass
-Wish

The Wish-Passer. This baby will provide some very helpful team support. It can absorb hits and frequently heal itself as well as its teammates. And it can also let other pokemon switch in without being clobbered on the same turn, due to its low Speed. Toxic doesn't work on Poison or Steel types which is when I may have to exchange it for Confuse Ray.

Spiritomb@Leftovers(Or Spooky Plate during Item Clause)
Sassy
-Will-o-Wisp
-Calm Mind
-Shadow Ball
-Pain Split

The first two moves form a distinct strategy. Cripple Physical attacks and absorb Special attacks. Shadow Ball over Dark Pulse as the chance of lowering Sp. Def will benefit Spiritomb more than a chance of flinching.

Be careful with that there Wish. It has the potential to backfire.

As for Roserade, it has a better role as a Special Sweeper

Roserade-Choice Specs
Nature: Timid
Leaf Storm
Sludge Bomb
Shadow Ball
Sleep Powder

This is the set I'm running

Roserade
Nature: Timid
Sunny Day/Rain Dance
Weather Ball
Energy Ball/Solarbeam
Sludge Bomb


Now tell Chuck Norris to leave me alone, and to get off my property.

 

[Dragon Tamer Ed]

*Serious evil voice* You only rated one pokemon, not the team. Chuck, get 'im!

Just kidding.

Anyway a nice idea. I am well aware of Rose's sweeping prowess but the Cleric/Annoyer set is the one I want to use.

 

[sims796]

Well, whatever you want to do is fine. I never did that, so let me do a little research.

 

[Samson]

on salamence, i highly suggest hydro pump or brick break for the last slot.

Feraligatr wants Impish nature. it can asborb physical attacks like nothing. also, i highly suggest Waterfall over Aqua Tail.

Yanmega with speed boost is pretty pointless. here's what i suggest:

Yanmega @ Metronome/Leftovers/King's Rock/Razor Fang
Timid Nature
Ability: Color Glasses
-Bug Buzz
-Air Slash
-Hypnosis
-Substitute

color glasses is pretty awesome. it makes all x2 resistances become x1 damage, and x4 resistances become x2 resistance. after you sub up on a switch, you can use hypnosis and then just fire away with w/e move is best to use at the time. Metronome increases the power of moves 10% each time they are used consecutively. so lets say they switch in a Magnezone with x4 resistance to flying and x2 to bug to take care of Yanmega... you can put the thing to sleep then just fire away with Bug Buzz. if they bring in Skarmory who has x4 resist to bug and x2 to flying, then Air Slash is the obvious choice. if you don't want Metronome on there, then you can just go for Leftovers so that it can survive Stealth Rock or you can just go for flinch hax with flinch items.

roserade is fine, but i highly suggest that instead of Big Root + Leech Seed + Giga Drain, go with Black Sludge + Shadow Ball + Energy Ball. roserade is forced to switch in and out all the time, and it's always put in a situation near the end of the battle where it has to do something other than stalling. sleep powder and its solid special defense gives it enough of a hold against threats, so leech seed and giga drain is really unnecessary.
