Single Battle Subway Team

[nate890]

So I'm putting together my team for the battle subway and I need some suggestions. The three pokemon I am thinking about using are :

Metagross
Zen Headbutt
Meteor Mash
Earthquake
Rock Polish

Chandelure
Flamethrower
Will o wisp
Shadow Ball
Energy Ball

Haxorus
Outrage
Brick Break
Sword Dance
EarthQuake


If you could give me suggestions in regards to anything within this team it would be greatly appreciated.

I´m only about 51% into competitive battling but I guess I´m gonna give it a go because I know how frustrating it can be not to get any comments...^^ Your team seems pretty straight-forward which I like because it´s just the same with my Battle Subway teams, so I might be able to help!^^

First of all, I think you should make up Metagross´ lack of speed somehow!^^ I´d suggest Rock Polish or Trick Room (If your second and third Pokemon happen to be slow, too then choose the second option!^^) to do exactly that (tested on my Metagross and it works pretty good) !^^ It should be able to take one hit, so setting that up will hardly be a problem!^^

Your Chandelure seems to have a moveset similar to mine!^^ For your last attack, I suggest Energy Ball!^^ With such an outstanding Special Attack, it should be able to sweep annoying Water Pokemon with ease (especially Swampert which can give your team a really hard time...)!^^ I dunno whether it´s just me but for some reason, Will-O-Wisp doesn´t seem to be right on it... Will it be able to make use of the burn? That thought might be only there because I have a preference for Psychics and thus also for Special attacks, so you don´t have to take it seriously but... Dunno!^^

Your Haxorus seems fine, except for one thing I would change: Could be because I love to attack first but I´d teach it Dragon Dance (if you should decide for the Trick Room mentioned above, then of course not!^^) instead of Swords Dance!^^

Your team seems very good, other than the small stuff I pointed out but those are mainly my preferences!^^

Thanks for the help do you have any suggestions for held items?

Hmm, well... Only thing I could think of right on the spot would probably be a Persim Berry to get rid of the confusion after your Outrage or a Life Orb for Haxorus(Life Orbs always go for most sweepers, I think but keep the recoil in mind...)!^^
Maybe a Focus Sash for your Chandelure (I made the experience that Chandelure really can´t take hits that good but that might be because it´s in a Trick Room in my team where the super-strong, slow Pokemon that Chandelure usually sweeps away with ease are faster than it because it´s only average-slow not REALLY slow!^^) ...^^
Maybe an Air Balloon or a Life Orb for Metagross (depends on your style)...^^ If you really want the opponent to die then take the Life Orb but if you wanna have a bit safety against Ground-types, then take Air Balloon because then, it only has one weakness (for the first rounds, of course)!^^ I´d prefer the second one because it can make the opening status move easier!^^

You can try those out but could be that they aren´t that good because items are my weak spot in the competitive sector...^^ But who knows? They could be pretty good, too!^^
