    Okay so m pretty new to the competitve scene and built my first personal team (i used to play with other people's team to get to know the game better) and have had quite success with it.Went from 1200 to 1400 on pokemon showdown.I want to know if there is some way i can improve this team.

    Pinsir@Pinsirite
    Ability:Moxie
    Adamant:252Atk/252 HP/4 Sdef
    - Quick Attack
    - Earthquake
    - Swords Dance
    - Return
    This guy is the main sweeper of my time and comes in after main threats such as talonflame etc are gone...i us
    ually use him to revenge kill to get the moxie bonus and then mega evolve

    Greninja@Life Orb
    Ability: Protean
    Timid:252 SpA/252 Spd/4Hp
    - Scald
    - Dark Pulse
    - Ice Beam
    - Extrasensory
    My Special sweeper who really helps a lot...but dies too quickly i have been thinking about switching life orb with choice specs or getting a pokemon with wish

    Klefki@Light Clay
    Ability: Prankster
    Bold 252 Hp/252 def/4 SpDef
    - Reflect
    - Light Screen
    - Thunder Wave
    - Foul Play
    my lead and also one of my favourites...Klefki is realllyyy awesome as that thunder wave and dual screens almost always help me get a great start....if there is one pokemon i dont wanna replace its this guy

    Goodra@Assault Vest
    Ability: Gooey
    Sassy 248 HP / 8 SAtk / 252 SDef
    - Dragon Pulse
    - Flamethrower
    - Thunderbolt
    - Dragon Tail
    My lovely special wall and also the bane of setups...except for belly drum azumarill :'(...it has great coverage and takes special hits like a champ

    Excadrill (F) @ Air Balloon
    Ability: Mold Breaker
    Jolly 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
    - Swords Dance
    - Earthquake
    - Rock Slide
    - Rapid Spin
    Rapid Spinner and also a great counter to rotom wash and Talonflame and deals a lot of damage...however he is kinda frail

    Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
    Ability: Poison Heal
    EVs: 244 HP / 32 Def / 232 Spd
    - Substitute
    - Toxic
    - Protect
    - Earthquake
    Poison Stall and dat phsyical defense <3

    and this is my team. Would really appreciate some help. Thanks:)
     
    For Mega Pinsir, use Jolly with max Attack and max Speed. You're wasting away its good 105 Speed.

    Hydro Pump > Scald on Greninja; it needs the extra power.
     
    wouldnt surf be a better option due to hydro pumps accuracy?

    Surf may have 100% accuracy, but 90 BP is still weaker than Hydro Pump's 110. While the risk of missing is a 2 out of 10 chance (Hydro Pump has 80% accuracy) the power makes all the difference. That's why he wants you to run Hydro Pump, it'll basically hit harder in the end. Greninja needs the power it can get.

    Based on my past experience reading Platinum's team help posts, Scald only sees use on more defensive Water-types.
