Last Pokemon game I played was Emerald, so i'm still really new to the concept of battling other people. I don't currently have a DS, so Pokemon Showdown is where i'm going to use this team. The doubles battle seem to be allot more interesting for me, so that's my main focus of building this team. If you can point out any obvious weaknesses or which other Pokemon would be a better fit, that would be great. All feedback is appreciated.
I wanted to use Sceptile, it being my favorite Pokemon, and also being able to deal out strong attacks. Him being so fragile, I wanted to build a somewhat bulky team, yet still deal out high damage.
