{RMT} Need help building my team

[J-Dubb]

Ok so my last team I planned on building didn't do as well as I wished so i've built a new team and want to get some possitive marks before actually trying to build this team.

Team at first Glance:

*pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed*

Ev's: 64 HP/ 252 Sp.att/ 192 Spe

Thunderbolt
Shadow ball
Energy Ball

My Lead for this team, With Choice Scarf he can outspeed any lead that I've ever faced plus can pack a big punch with it's moves

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* @ Choice Band

Nature: Adament
Ability: Huge Power
Ev's: 212 HP/ 252 Att/ 44 Spe

Waterfall
Return
Focus Punch
Aqua Jet

My Choice banner usally I'll use Aqua Jet cause STAB + Choice band + Huge Power = deadly water attack and with aqua jet hitting first can put a dent is alot of pokemon

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* @ Life Orb
Nature: Timid
Ability: Flash Fire
Ev's: 40 HP / 252 SpA / 216 Spe

Hidden Power Fighting
Flamethrower
Dark Pulse
Overheat

My special sweeper can take fire hits for me and melt Steels back into oblivion

*image removed* @ Leftovers?

Nature: Impish
Ability: Torrent
Ev's: 252 HP / 6 Atk / 252 Def

Earthquake
Avalanche
Stone Edge
Roar

Ya i know he dosn't have a stab water move but i think it for better coverage on my weaknesses


*pokemonelite2000 image removed* @ Leftovers

Nature: Relaxed
Ability: Levitate
Ev's: 252 HP / 152 Atk / 8 Def / 96 SpD

Hypnosis
Stealth Rock
Gyro Ball
Earthquake

Ah my Tank only weakness if fire and if they try to attack with a fire move I switch to houndoom to take the hit.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* @ Leftovers

Nature: calm
Ability: Sences Grace
Ev's: 252 HP / 6 Def / 252 SpD

Air Slash
Thunder Wave
Roost
Aura Sphere

My Special Tank, can paralize opponits and moves can make for great coverage

Well hope this team better then my old one please critigue and post feedback good or bad.

 

[Anti]

Um Shadow Ball AND Dark Pulse on Gengar? Ew.

Um, nothing can switch into most powerful sweepers in today's metagame. SD Garchomp 6-0s your team and DDtar/CBtar end you. Heatran is a HUGE problem since it has Earth Power to kill Houndoom adn will sweep the rest of your team with Fire Blast.

MixVire causes your team a few problems. With some Motor Drive action, it's game, set, and match. Heracross blows right through your walls and you'll have to rely on the shaky Gengar to take hits from Heracross, and and a Night Slash or stone edge will end you. DDmence sets up on anything on your team and Gyarados is even worse. If you send out Gengar to bolt it, you run the risk of having vire ccome in and sweep your team so yeah.

Also Swampert walls your entire team and doesn't really fear most of your pokemon. Calm Minf raikou and Suicune will also beat you down with STAB attacks and take nothign from your special attackers. You have Raikou covered pretty well but suicune is trouble. If Raikou is paired with Dugtrio, it's gg. Dugtrio can also kill half our team which is no fun.

Gengar@ Choice Scarf

Nature: Timid
Ability: Levitate
Ev's: 252 Speed 252 Sp.Attack 6 HP

Thunderbolt
Shadow ball
Energy ball/HP [ICE]
Focus Blast

Unnecessary HP EVs if it's your lead, and Timid please to unsure you outspeed any other choice leads. Why Dark Pulse? It has the same coverage as Shadow ball, without the STAB, HP [ICE] or Energy ball please.

My Lead for this team, With Choice Scarf he can outspeed any lead that I've ever faced plus can pack a big punch with it's moves

Azumarril@Choice Band

Nature: Adamant
Ability: Huge Power
Ev's: 212 HP/ 252 Att/ 44 Spe

Waterfall
Double Edge/Return
Brick Break
Aqua Jet

I don't like the idea of Focus Punch running on something without Substitute, so if you really want it, remove DE or Waterfall for Sub.

My Choice banner usally I'll use Aqua Jet cause STAB + Choice band + Huge Power = deadly water attack and with aqua jet hitting first can put a dent is alot of pokemon

Houndoom@Choice Specs

Nature: Timid
Ability: Flash Fire
Ev's: 40 HP / 252 SpA / 216 Spe

Hidden Power Fighting
Flamethrower/Sludge Bomb

Why run 2 fire moves?

My special sweeper can take fire hits for me and melt Steels back into oblivion

Electivire@Life Orb

Nature: Mild/ Lonely
Ability: Motor Drive
Ev's: 252 Atk / 80 SpA / 176 Spe

Ice Punch
Thunderbolt
Cross Chop
Earthquake/Fire Punch

Hmm, not the best choice of pokemon, but sure why not.

My second Attacker thunderbolt to suprise people expecting all physical and can help support my Tougekiss and Azumaraill

Bronzong@ Leftovers

Nature: Relaxed
Ability: Levitate
Ev's: 252 HP / 96 Atk / 8 Def / 152 SpD

Hypnosis
Stealth Rock
Gyro Ball/Toxic

Switched the EVs a little, you're gonna need the defensive EVs more.

Ah my Tank only weakness if fire and if they try to attack with a fire move I switch to houndoom to take the hit.

Togekiss@Leftovers

Nature: Bold
Ability: Serene Grace
Ev's: 252 HP / 6 Def / 252 SpD

Air Slash
Thunder Wave
Roost/Wish

A bulky Togekiss is gonna need a healing move. Bold nature.

Shadow Ball and Dark Pulse pretty much accomplish the same thing. One or the other please.

Getting stuck on a move with recoil and not much coverage is a vicious cycle. Same goes for a move which requires constant charging. Besides, two brick breaks do the same damage as a single focus punch and doesnt run the risk of missing out on two turns of attacks.

Nasty Plot

My special sweeper can take fire hits for me and melt Steels back into oblivion
Base 95 isnt really fast enough unless you max its speed out. Besides, with base 50 Def its not gonna be taking any hits. You already have two choice users, go nasty plot life orb please

Mostly OK, but you lack a physical wall. Bronzong acting as a tank isnt enough. 3 choice users will get you into a world of trouble, you'll be giving opponents free hits on the switch all day long.

Wheres your walls ?

Quoted for truth.

@ Jimmy Ray

Max speed and Timid Nature is overkill on SCARF Gengar.

Have you ever heard of specs mence either Dragon pulse for late game and Draco meteor for early game, same with Specs Doom, one is for Early game, which should be overheat. and one for late game aka flamethrower ?

Whats fire punch for on e-vire for ? As in what does it acomplish in terms of coverage that the other moves dont grant ? Bronzong ? EQ has much better coverage.



@ most people, you do realize if you can predict you do not need sub with focus punch.

 

[Outlawed]

To be honest, this team fails in many ways. as listed above by Anti ..
However, the only thing I disagree with Anti is that this team covers it's ground weakness perfectly. if you look at it again he has 3 levitaters to take EQ from other pokes and earthmoves are not a problem. However, strong physical sweepers and things like swampert will end your day.

Hmm that IS a big problem then I guess I need some counters for them instead.
ok made a switch at top of page I added Swampert Cause then it counters Heatran,Tyranitar, And can hold off a Swampert. If there is any better ideas that would drop two pokemon max I'd greatly appreciate it.

Gengar doesn't learn Grass Knot

 

[El Gofre]

Sell bell over lefties on swampy, you're going to be attacking almost every turn so you may aswel get twice the healing power from it.

 

[J-Dubb]

my mistake I ment Energy ball Changed it

Ok that also helps with the item cluase delema I had

 

[Dark Azelf]

Firstly no one uses Item caluse.

Secondly @Gofre, Shell Bell is absolute suckage, Leftovers is much more reliable.

 

[El Gofre]

When he has 3 attack moves, shell bell works better then lefties IMO. As long as you avoid status conditions its generally a more efficient healing method on swampy.

 

[Outlawed]

Even though, sometimes lefties is THE only thing that stops a poke from 2OHKOing you and if you dont heal everyturn your done. I say Lefties over Shell Bell.

 

[Anti]

Um guys focus Punch is REALLY good on Azumarill if you know how to predict. you know, not everything with Focus Punch needs substitute.

Also Shell Bell is lol on Swampy, it doesn't even cause that much damage. Hydro Pump that Skarmory? Switch to Vaporeon! Earthquake that Vaporeon? Switch to Skarmory! Getting outpredicted even once will cause you to not gain health back. Meaning Leftovers is far superior.
