RMT Competative First Shot *competitive (lol, sorry i had to x])

[RenzokukenofCerberus]

Well this is my transitional team so to speak from friendly battling to competative. So pointers on where to fix the lineup would be greatly appreciated.

Dragonite
Item: Choice Band Nature: Brave E/Vs: 252 Atk/158 Def/ 100 Hp
Move-Set:
Ariel Ace
Outrage
Earthquake
Aqua Tail

Position in the party was usually as a tank to start things out, cause from his training ( though friendly and not competative competition) he can usually put a good hurting on anything and take a Dragon type shot to the face and still be able to get off his outrage.

Swampert
Item: Leftovers Nature: Relaxed E/vs: 152 Atk/252 Def/ 56 Hp/50 Spec Atk
Move-Set:
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Ice Beam
Surf

Used mainly as a physical wall with big moves to lay a hurt on whatever he comes across.

Electivire
Item: Choice Scarf Nature: Hasty E/Vs: Didn't follow at the time
Move-Set:
Fire Punch
Thunder Punch
Cross Chop
Ice Punch

A physical sweeper that's job was mainly just to do some quick damage, maybe get a cheap KO here or there, but really more just clean up.

Toxicroak
Item: Choice Band Nature: Adamant E/Vs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/ 6 Hp
Move-Set:
Sucker Punch
Poison Jab
Stone Edge
Cross Chop

Another physical sweeper built around baiting out the over used Alakazam or Gardevoir and knocking it's head off with a Sucker Punch. And things that aren't Psychic still take some nice damage from him.

Snorlax
Item: Leftovers Nature: Sassy E/vs: 252 Spec Def/202 Hp/ 56 Atk
Move-Set:
Earthquake
Giga Impact
Toxic
Body Slam

The special wall with the ability to just sit back and watch you die thanks to Toxic, or a paralyze from Body Slam, and in desperate situation can hit you pretty hard with a Giga or Quake.

Houndoom
Item: Choice Specs Nature: Modest E/vs: 252 Spec Atk/ 252 Spd/6 spec def
Move-Set:
Flamethrower
Shadow Ball
Dark Pulse
Hyper Beam

Special sweeper who is fairly balanced but instantly taken down from an Earthquake or heavy hitting physical atk.

So like I said, this team is in transition... so any and all comments would be helpful.

 

[Dark Azelf]

Well, imma allow this because S+M is about learning too after all.

Dragonite
Item: Choice Band Nature: Brave E/Vs: 252 Atk/158 Def/ 100 Hp
Move-Set:
Ariel Ace
Outrage
Earthquake
Aqua Tail


Salamence@Choice Band
252 ATT / 252 SPEED / 6 DEF
Adamant Nature
- Outrage
- Fire Fang
- Aqua Tail
- Dragon Claw

Fully physical salamence outclasses nite always with platinum. Aerial Ace isnt needed and lacks coverage even though it gains stab, besides you already hit everything for neutral with the above set. D-Claw for early game and to scout counters without locking yourself in and Outrage for late game sweeps.


Swampert
Item: Leftovers Nature: Relaxed E/vs: 252 HP / 252 DEF / 6 SP.ATT
Move-Set:
Earthquake
Stealth Rock
Ice Beam
Surf / Roar

This evs were eh. Stealth Rock is needed, also LEAD WITH THIS.

Electivire
Item: Choice Scarf Nature: Hasty/Jolly E/Vs: 252 SPEED / 252 ATT / 6 HP.
Move-Set:
Fire Punch
Thunder Punch
Cross Chop
Ice Punch

Scarf Vire =o! Well since you are Gyara weak i guess this will work.


Toxicroak
Item: Choice Band Nature: Adamant E/Vs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/ 6 Hp
Move-Set:
Sucker Punch
Poison Jab
Stone Edge
Cross Chop

Lucario@Life Orb
252 ATT / 252 SPEED / 6 HP
Adamant Nature
Inner Focus
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Extremespeed
- Crunch

As much as i love Toxicroak, Lucario does outclass him in pretty much every department. Dont use too many choicers, 2 is fine, but getting your whole team locked in isnt really good tbh.



Snorlax
Item: Leftovers Nature: Adamant Nature
252 ATT / 252 S.DEF / 6 hp
Move-Set:
Earthquake
Selfdestruct
Fire Punch / Crunch
Body Slam

Try offensive lax, its pretty sweet. Dont use Hyper Beam moves. EVER.

Houndoom
Item: Choice Specs Nature: Modest E/vs: 252 Spec Atk/ 252 Spd/6 spec def
Move-Set:
Flamethrower
Overheat
Dark Pulse
Hidden Power Fighting


Dont use Hyper Beam ever, it just leaves you as set up fodder. HP Fighting hits Tar and tran who are two huge counters to this. Shadow Ball has redundant coverage with dark. Overheat plz.

Ok, well you are Scizor weak and i have to say that speaking of Heatran, i would actually put that >> Houndoom because it is kinda better and does give you an outrage resist too. Id not choice it though since you already have a few choicers and getting your whole team locked in is annoying. So use orb tran.

Heatran@Life Orb
4 Hp / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Dragon Pulse
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Earth Power

Mence
Pert
Vire
Lucario
Lax
Tran

^something like this.

 

[Samson]

i wouldn't keep cross chop on electivire on a scarf set. the idea is for it to be a surprise kill. you'd probably be better off with Earthquake to hit heatran, metagross, lucario, other electivire, etc for assured kills.

not an effective set as it'll be pointless the minute they figure it's a scarf set. i'd much rather run a scarf flygon set who has tpunch and covers vire's resistances and more. better defenses and has u-turn to boot.

 

[Relevant]

I agree with D_A, Houndoom is not that great. Change it to Heatran. Also, I agree with Samson. Flygon is much better than Vire (w/ scarf and tpunch).

Swampert wants lead.
