Well on the above team I went with Heatproof EQ Bronzong to be Heatran bait, trick him into thinking I'm weak to fire, then EQ it gg Heatran!

Also if I replace Gallade with Azelf what's a good moveset for it, I've know Azelf to be a special sweeper I mean Gallade get STAB Close Combat.
 
Hidden Power Grass is inferior to Grass Knot is every way imaginable. It hits things like Swampert harder, and while it does hit Vaporeon for 10 extra base damage, the fact that both of these moves fail to 2HKO mean that you might as well go for the better leadoff move; Grass Knot. I guess if you want to...nail Lanturn on the switch, HP Grass is your best bet.

Well since you already have Zong as a lead you could try NPElf.

Azelf @ Life Orb
Nature : Timid
EV : 8 HP / 248 SpA / 252 Spe
- Nasty Plot
- Flamethrower
- Psychic
- Grass Knot / Hidden Power [Ice]

^ 8 HP EV's allow you to survive CBScizor Bullet Punch after SR, just NP and sweep =)

Hp Fighting >> HP Ice. So you arent Heatran, Tar etc bait. Grass Knot is also pretty poor tbh, i have yet to see a bulky water wall Azelf lol (Slowking i guess lol, but that is NU soo~)

I also dont like LO on Azelf, alot of teams rely on Scizor to finish it off and LO it kinda kills itself, i honestly prefer expert belt and 42 hp + 216 peed evs (speed ties are eh imo) which lets you live a CB Pursuit from weavile granted you dont switch.
 
Uhh, hi i need a good lead.

My team is basically

(lead)


Blissey (wall)
Leftovers
Evs: 252 Hp 252 Spdef 4 def
Softboiled
Icebeam
Aromatheraphy
Thunder Wave


Rotom-(the washingmachine one) (Wall, SpAtk mix, mainly for countering fighting and water types)
Item: Leftovers
EVs: Uhh i believe Spatk and Spdef
Rest
Sleep Talk
Hydro Pump
Discharge


Heatran (Scarfed SpAtk)
Item: Choice Scarf
Evs: 252 Spd 252 Spatk 4 hp
Earth Power
Flamethrower
Explosion
I believe either hidden power Fighting Grass Ice, or a gyro ball.


Tyranitar (DDtar)
Item: Life Orb
Ev: 252 Atk 182 Spd 74 Def (or 252 Spd)
Dragon Dance
Crunch
Stone Edge
Earthquake

Lucario
Item:uhh Leftover or Life Orb or something ;S
Swords Dance
Close Combat
-?
-?


I have tried both the aerodactyle and gliscor suicide leads, i liked aerodactyle better, but i was wondering wether there are any good leads to support this team, and if it should be suicide or item swapping or stealthrock, or what.

uhh i edited it, but i dont have my own computer with me, and its been two months since i did competitive battling (i was kinda late with this post) but i figured i started improving my team for when i get my computer back. Hope you dont mind some blanks. (I added lucario three days before i had to leave my computer so im the least sure with him.

If it still doesn't help because i can't remember the natures, i can call the person who currently has my computer w/ shoddy wether he can check my team.
 
Metagross makes a good lead :

Metagross @ Occa Berry
Nature : Adamant
Trait : Clear Body
EVs : 252 HP / 236 Atk / 12 Def / 8 Spe
-Stealth Rock
-Meteor Mash
-Bullet Punch / Earthquake
-Explosion

it can Gurrantee you to set up SR

its stupid to run Max SpD on Blissey and forget about maxing its Def , since without SpD EVs blissey still can take on many Special moves , Run 252 Def / 80 SpA / 176 SpD EVs on blissey

RestTalk Rotom is fine

Hidden Power Ice for ScarfTran , its stupid to use Gyro Ball on Tran since it will be fast O.O

use This EV Spread for DDTar : 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP and Jolly Nature

SD Lucario should always run with 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP and Life Orb to wreak havic after 1 SD , and yeah use these 2 moves for the last slots of Lucario :

-ExtremeSpeed
-Ice Punch
 
Ah yes thank you :D

I must have made a mistake, i couldn't remember the last slot so i figured i had a steel type move or a hp, well forgot about gyro ball lower speed more attack XD

Well ty ill see how it works out :D

He was saying to use Azelf's Attack stat so I need Physical moves if he's gonna be replacing Gallade.
 
Too bad Azelf dont have the access to Swords Dance , this is the only good Physical Azelf set :

Azelf @ Choice Band / Choice Scarf
Nature : Adamant / Jolly
Trait : Levitate
EVs : 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP
-U-turn / Trick
-Zen Headbutt
-Explosion
-Ice Punch / Fire Punch
 
hmm i was thinking of a lead tentacruel for my team what ya think
Tentacruel @ black sludge
Timid
Liquid ooze
evs 100spatk/156hp/252speed
-Rapid Spin
-Toxic Spikes
-Sludge Bomb
-Hydro Pump

When you divide the HP EV's you gave your Tentacruel by 4, you get 37.5, which isn't a whole number. Also, you have 8 EV's leftover, which could be used.

use this set for your Lead Tentacruel :

Tentacruel @ Black Sludge
Nature : Calm
Trait : Liquid Ooze
EVs : 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SpD
-Toxic Spikes
-Rapid Spins
-Sludge Bomb / Hidden Power Electric
-Surf

The given EVs allow Tentacruel to counter some of the more threatening sweepers in OU. Max HP with the 120 EVs invested in Defense ensure that standard Infernape's Close Combat is always a 3HKO. Swords Dance variants can only amount to a 2HKO, which means Tentacruel can switch in, take a Close Combat, and then Surf for the KO. The Calm nature and Special Defense EVs make sure that a Choice Scarf Heatran will never 2HKO Tentacruel.

Tenta is a poor lead. It loses to like all of them lol. Roserade is a much better T-Spiker lead.

And has a good chance to get OHKO'd with a SD LO Stone Edge with SR up. ;[
 
I havent used Tentacruel before so yeah .... I agree that Rosereade is better as a lead T-Spiker
 
For Gallade should I use an Adamant or Jolly nature? I know Gallade has an 80 base speed and the only real threats to Gallade are either significantly slower or faster so I think running Jolly for the speed boost he still won't catch up to Adamant Lucario.

The set I will run is...
Gallade @ Life Orb
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Speed
Moves:
-Psycho Cut
-Shadow Sneak
-Fire Punch / Stone Edge
-Close Combat

There's even Shadow Sneak for a priority move. All the sets on Smogon say to take my pick as a nature I would go with Adamant for more power but only if I'm taking a risk with the speed.

You can Surprise SDLuke that Gallade is faster than him using Jolly , or even lol at Gyarados that didnt use Dragon Dance yet , sadly Gallade can be wiped out easily from a Physical hit =(
