    Uh, yeah. Should look familiar, but plenty of changes. 3rd Gen BTW.

    Kingdra@Lum Berry**Hydromotor
    Trait: Swift Swim
    Modest Nature
    EVs: 252 HP, 240 Special Attack, 18 Speed
    ~Rain Dance
    ~Surf
    ~HP Electric
    ~Ice Beam

    QUICK QUESTION: Is a 15 IV in special attack enough?

    Kingdra is my special sweeper, and can take a hit too. HP Electric takes out most bulky waters, excluding the likes of swampert, but it's a good pokemon. Not the star of the team, but it can inflict some deadly damage if it can set up and the special wall is taken care of *coughblisseycough*.

    Hypno@Leftovers**Hypyes
    Trait: Insomnia
    Calm Nature
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 Special Defense, 6 Special Attack
    ~Reflect
    ~Light Screen
    ~Thunder Wave
    ~Psychic

    Hypno is my special wall and pseudo-passer. Reflect and Light Screen give my team a little more bulk, and thunder wave slows down sweepers so my other pokemon can be set up to take out the opposition. Psychic is for STAB. The ability is great because I can absorb sleep attacks I suspect are coming, like gengar and hypnosis. My set up pokemon really.

    Steelix@Leftovers**Chromo
    Trait: Sturdy
    Impish Nature
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 6 Attack
    ~Earthquake
    ~Explosion
    ~Rock Slide
    ~Roar

    My all-out physical wall. I've been toying with the moveset, but I like it this way. Gengar totally walls it though. It really can take the nastiest physical hits and survive. With reflect up, it has a maximum 1096 defense I think. Pretty much invincible, until the special sweeper comes out. NOTE: It is EV trained at level 100, but I need great help with that dang moveset.

    Rhydon@Leftovers**Superior
    Trait: Rock Head
    Relaxed/Adamant Nature
    EVs: 240 Attack, 160 HP, 110 Defense
    ~Megahorn
    ~EQ
    ~Swords Dance
    ~Rock Slide

    Rhydon is my physical tank. Works best when I can switch in on something like zapdos and get a free SD turn. Can inflict some heavy damage, and Rhydon is way cool. I hope it can wall some physical sweepers that can't take a hit. Not much to say really.
    However, I'm really unsure about the EVs and moveset. It has a 31IV in both attack and HP if that means anything.

    Blastoise@Leftovers**Tank-Elite
    Trait: Torrent
    Bold Nature
    EVs: 252 HP, 36 Defense, 216 Special Defense
    ~???
    ~Mirror Coat
    ~Surf
    ~Rapid Spin

    Uh, a tank. Need help with the first moveslot. Maybe ice beam or toxic?

    Dragonite@Leftovers**Dragondoom
    Trait: Inner Focus
    Jolly Nature
    EVs: 200 Speed, 100 Special Attack, 136 Attack, 74 HP
    ~Dragon Dance
    ~Thunder
    ~Aerial Ace
    ~Earthquake

    Dragonite counters the pokemon the rest of my team struggle with for the most part. I was thinking of using it as my lead, but I'm not so sure, especially about the moveset and EVs...and nature...and item. Thunder for skarm...

    Okay, so it has a bit of flaws. I was thinking of using umbreon as a wisher and trapper, but 3 pokemon weak to fighting bug me. I'm open to all suggestions, though I don't take all of them. Usually I do if they are...smart, or make sense in any way. I feel I'm getting closer to a great team. Closer, and closer...but not there yet.
     
    I am very bad at 3rd gen teams, but I will say that 15 isn't enough. It's only enough to almost KO an opponent, in the red, so you can curse & wish it did more.
     
    Dang, time to rebreed for Hidden power...and IVs. Joy. Right now rhydon is my focus. Should I replace it for umbreon (or something else for umbreon), or keep it? I have a feeling my rhydon isn't all too great as far as EVs and moveset are concered? It's a lot like rhyinferior, so could somebody help?

    EDIT: BTW, thanks Sims.
