    Hey everyone! Im doing some team fixings as my other team didnt work out as well as I had hoped. Im changing 3 Pokemon, and some smaller rrevisions to the others.

    Torkoal-Iron Ball
    Relaxed-252 Defense, 252 HP, 4 Attack
    Gyro Ball
    Rapid Spin
    EQ
    Explosion

    Rapid Spinner/Gyro Baller. Ouch.

    Gallade-Choice Scarf
    Adamant-252 attack, 252 speed, 4 HP
    Leaf Blade
    Night Slash
    Close Combat
    Psycho Cut

    Physical Sweeper. Bang Slam Ouch.

    Dusknoir-Leftovers
    Carefull-Ev help?
    Shadow Sneak
    Will"O"Wisp
    Ice Punch
    Pain Split

    Special Wall. Ice Punch needed for specsmence and such.

    Aerodactyl-Focus Sash
    Jolly-252 attack, 252 speed, 4 HP
    Stealth Rock
    Earthquake
    Rock Slide
    Ice Fang

    Its my SRer, and has served me well. And I prefer Rock Slide to Stone Edge because of accuracy.

    Gengar-Focus Sash
    Modest-252 Special attack, 252 speed, 4 HP
    Hypnosis
    Energy Ball
    Shaodw Ball
    Focus Blast

    Special Sweeper. Not working out as well with Wide Lens, to fragile.

    Tangrowth-Leftovers
    Bold-252 defense, 252 HP, 4 attack
    Leech Seed
    Stun Spore
    Knock Off
    Power Whip

    My status inflictor/physical wall, I love it.

    And help would be great!
     
    Well it all looks good except.
    I'd use TB instead of Energy Ball on Gengar. Not so sure about Ice punch on Dusknoir but I don't see it as absolutely horrible.

    Dusknoir EV's
    252 HP/200 Sp.Def/56 Atk-I'm no expert but since your looking for some power I'd give it a couple Atk EV's at the expense of it's amazing Sp.Def and not its horrid HP.

    I'm not familiar with Tangrowth either.
    And I'd still recomend Wide Lens on Gengar.

    Just noticed something Bold Tangrowth?? O you fixed that.

    Alright... the biggest problem here is your Gengar.

    Don't make him Modest. He's in the same ballpark as Alakazam, where he does SO much more when he's able to outrun the enemy. Timid puts him at more of an advantage than Modest would. I would never use a Modest Gengar, or a Modest Alakazam. They're too fragile not to outrun the opponent.

    Another thing, a Gengar without Thunderbolt is like a day without rain (and I love the rain!). If you want to use Hypnosis, replace Energy Ball. You could go for Choice Specs or even Choice Scarf, and run:

    - Shadow Ball
    - Thunderbolt
    - Energy Ball
    - Focus Blast

    Focus Blast with Choice Specs behind it really hurts Blissey.

    You also may want to use a Fire move on Torkoal, for STAB and because Skarmory would see him as a free switch.
     
    need a bigger spread of status inflicting moves rather than centering them all on tangrowth, just in case you come against an unexpected fire move
     
    Umm, power whip is not a special attack. So a bold nature and no attack ev's means it will not cause much damage.

    Rapid Spinner/Gyro Baller. Ouch.

    Gallade-Choice Scarf

    Leaf Blade
    Night Slash
    Close Combat
    Psycho Cut

    Looks Fine

    Dusknoir-Leftovers
    Carefull-252 HP / 76 DEF / 180 SPDEF
    Shadow Sneak
    Will"O"Wisp
    Ice Punch
    Pain Split

    Special Wall. Ice Punch needed for specsmence and such.

    All well and good coping with Specs Mence, but Taunt Gyarados will laugh at you if this is your last pokemon, which is why Thunderpuch is standard, ill leave this for you to decide

    Aerodactyl-Focus Sash
    Jolly-252 attack, 252 speed, 4 HP
    Stealth Rock
    Earthquake
    Rock Slide
    Ice Fang


    Its my SRer, and has served me well. And I prefer Rock Slide to Stone Edge because of accuracy.

    Fine, Stone Edge actully doesnt have that bad accuracy, i suggest you use it.

    Gengar-Focus Sash/Petaya Perry
    Timid-252 Special attack, 252 speed, 4 HP
    Hypnosis/Substitute
    Thunderbolt
    Shaodw Ball
    Focus Blast/Hidden Power Ice

    Special Sweeper. Not working out as well with Wide Lens, to fragile.

    Mock Bolt-Beaming FTW


    Tangrowth-Leftovers
    Impish - 252 defense, 252 HP, 4 attack
    Leech Seed
    Sleep Powder
    Knock Off
    Power Whip

    My status inflictor/physical wall, I love it.

    Good but Sleep Powder>Stun Spore, it causes more switches, which you can take advantage of with Knock Off

    And help would be great!

    Gallade needs Stone Edge to counters it's biggest threat of flying types. You should prbably remove Night slash, because it already has Psycho Cut to deal with Gengars and other ghost threats like Mismagius and Drifblim will be killed with ease by Stone Edge. Energy Ball isn't needed on Gengar.

    Gengar@Focus Sash
    TIMID ~ Always
    252 Sp.Attack 252 Speed 4 HP
    Levitate

    Shadow Ball
    Focus Blast
    Thunderbolt
    Hypnosis

    But 4 HP is another thing. He has low defenses and HP, with 4 HP, he's not surviving anything. What do you except him to survive, Jimmyray?

    That's kind of the point of focus sash...to survive hits it normally couldn't take.

    No, no you can't.
    Re-read what Iron Ball does and use some logic.





    That means: If YOU'RE holding a really, really, really, REALLY, heavy Iron Ball, and the enemy is flying in the air, who's the one who's stuck on the ground?

    Then iron ball would have no upside, except making you slow...but really, a 0 IV and relaxed does that to you :/

    Really...but yeah, lefties is probably the best option for the steel snake anyways.

    Actually, it's a lava-turtle.
     
    I have found that the entire purpose for Gallade's Psycho Cut was designed for Weezing O_o
     
    I just grabbed it, Stien Edge makes more sense in the end, and Iron Ball makes flying.levitating Pokemon vulnerable to ground moves, see this is off serebii

    Iron ball-Lowers users speed and makes LEvitating Pokemon and Flying Pokemon be hit by ground moves. So Iron ball could make me hit flying types with EQ.

    Iron Ball does that to YOUR Pokemon, not the opponent's :\ Use common-sense XD
