Try Gyara you already have Quagsire to cover the electric weaknes and btw Quaggy and Salamence also have 4x weaknesses (to Grass and Ice) so ruling out Gyara based on his 4x weakness to Electric is bad. Maybe look into Swampert instead of Quagsire.

ok, i'm completely new to competitive battling,so could someone please give me a basic setup?

Here are a few things to note about competitive Pokemon:
1) Teams that worked in-game will mostly not work in the competitive field
2) Most people battle using only Pokemon with perfect IVs (Individual Values)
3) Since getting perfect IVs is a hassle in-game you can either download a battle simulator such as this one: https://shoddybattle.com/ or for in-game use cheat devices such as this program: https://projectpokemon.org/editing/pokesav/
4) EVs are natures are essential to competitive battling

Here's the best most fair site for all your competitive battling needs.

Please note if you are going to use Pokeav only do legal stuff. Don't use illegal moves, EV spreads, or the like.

But that is a pointless argument, I could say Ice Shard is a weak move and it kills Mence, that doesn't mean not to use it. You just switch out and avoid the Electric attack ;]

I'd honestly switch Gyarados >>> Ferliagatr, it is generally a superior sweeper plus you can use it as bait for Electvire's Motor Drive.

Gyarados @ Life Orb
Nature : Adamant
EV : 4 HP / 242 Atk / 252 Spe
- Dragon Dance
- Ice Fang / Stone Edge
- Waterfall
- Earthquake

Anyways with your team I think you'd benefit from Swampert >>> Quagsire as it's much bulkier amd make it your lead instead of Feraligatr. Something like this would work.

Swampert @ Leftovers
Nature : Relaxed
EV : 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam
- Roar

ok i think i will change feraligatr with gyarados but what movesets should i use for remaining pokemons?
Click to expand...

Gyara wants to run Dragon Dance and Waterfall and Eartquake for coverage.

Salamence also wants to run Dragon Dance and Outrage or Dragon Claw if concerned about the confusion. Also you could try a MixMence and run Draco Meteor and Fire Blast/Flamethrower to scare enemy Ices.

Infernape usually wants moves like Close Combat and Flare Blitz and maybe also Thunderpunch. You could also try a MixNaopw with Fire Blast but I wouldn't use that personally. And have Ape hold Choice Band or you can opt for Life Orb if you dislike being choiced into one move.

Also I would suggest NOT leading with your set-up Pokemon. Use an Anti-Lead to start off the fight. Swampert leads fall to many Anti-Leads running Grass Knot.
 
what would be the best moveset and ev's for a leadape?

the one i use now is
infernape@life orb
adamant
252 attack/252 speed/6 hp
~u-turn
~fake out
~mach punch
~flare blitz
i don't know if i should give it sr instead of flare blitz

and i need a good curselax set.

SR benefits a team alot, I would honestly use this set over your one. It hits hard yet gets the rocks up and beats some common leads ;]

Infernape @ Focus Sash
Nature : Naive
EV : 64 Atk / 252 SpAtk / 192 Spe
- Fake Out
- Stealth Rock
- Fire Blast
- Close Combat

Fake Out if you suspect it has a Sash or in general Fake Out for some early damage then setup the rocks or smack them with Close Combat / Fire Blast.

Snorlax@leftovers
168 HP / 120 Def / 220 SpD
Careful nature
Trait : Thick Fat
- Curse
- Body Slam
- Fire Punch / Crunch / Earthquake
- Rest / Selfdestruct

This set just doesnt work anymore though, its very much set up fodder. ~_~
 
Which move do you guys think work better on a Honchkrow:

Dark Pulse / Sucker Punch
 
Sucker Punch is Ideal since Honchkrow is relatively slow , and Physical Honchkrow is better than Special Honchkrow lol .

This LeadKrow is nice as you play with your opponent Mind Game :

Honchkrow @ Focus Sash
Nature : Hasty / Naive
Trait : Insomnia
EVs : 224 Atk / 48 SpA / 236
-Sucker Punch
-Pursuit
-Heat Wave
-Superpower

Yes I have and prefer Physical Krow better :3
Alright, I'll change Dark Pulse to Sucker Punch, thank you for the help
 
Hey, I'm making a NU team for the heck of it, and I'm wondering if this Medicham set is any good.
[Pretty generic, true. But...]

Medicham @Salac Berry
Pure Power
Adamant
76 HP / 252 Atk / 180 Speed
- Fake Out
- Endure
- Reversal
- Bullet Punch
Basic Endure / Reversal with a Salac Berry. Fake Out for entry lolz really, and Bullet Punch to ensure hitting first [since there is no ExtremeSpeed in NU], and Ghost coverage. 180 Speed EVs with Salac activated put it at 362 Speed, which juuuust outspeed Floatzel and Persian, the fastest NU Pokemon. I stuck 76 in HP... for no reason. I just saw no other place for them. I'm thinking about replacing Fake Out with something that hits Shedinja, and I can't decide between Fire Punch and Rock Slide. Suggestions?

Skuntank (THE most used nu poke)(sucker Punch) and other priority is rife in nu along with weather and scarfers so reversal/f(l)ail sets are still a very poor option there.

Medicham@Life Orb
252 ATT / 252 SPEED / 6 DEF
Adamant Nature
Trait : Pure Power
- Fake Out
- Bullet Punch
- Brick Break
- Zen Headbutt (Psycho Cut is illegal with BP/Fake Out)

Priority cham is your best bet there, its like a nu Technitop being able to keep alot of sweepers in check whilst being a powerfull wall breaker. That or use the standard scarfer.

Shedinja isnt an issue, you should have sr on your team lol

Lulz lead krow doesnt work, it just doesnt. Too slow to be an effective anti lead tbh and even in UU there are better options you just dont stop leads accomplishing set up, which ANY good lead should do.

Best set is the LOer

Honchkrow@Life Orb / Choice Band
252 ATT / 252 SPEED / 6 DEF
Adamant Nature
- Sucker Punch
- Pursuit / Night Slash
- Drill Peck
- Super Power

The standard. Should be played as a revenge killer.

If you are using it in OU, you can use Heat Wave in the second slot and give it a ~48 sp.att evs and a Lonely Nature if you really want to hit Skarm/steels, but even then Super Power does a nice dent to most steels.
 
im really unsure what item to give gyarados, i thought that lefties may be the better option cus intimidate and his great special defense will let him dragon dance lots, which item is better on dragon dance um gyarados lefties or life orb. Please, i must know

what moves should i give him
