    Lol yeah, lame title.

    Yeah, I revamped my old team (well not old, but meh) to cover up a few weaknesses and I tested it. It works great (31-4-0 as of now) but I still want to see if any improvements can be made. So without further ado....

    At A Glance...

    IN DEPTH


    *pokemonelite2000 image removed*

    Aerodactyl @ Focus Sash
    Jolly Nature
    Trait: Pressure
    252 Attack | 252 Speed | 4 HP
    -Stealth Rock
    -Taunt
    -Rock Slide
    -Earthquake
    -----
    Aero here obviously serves as my lead. He sts up rocks, which can break sashes and do a great bit of damage to some things. I use Rock Slide over Stone Edge for accuracy, and that chance to flinch.
    *pokemonelite2000 image removed*
    Heracross @ Choice Band
    Adamant | Jolly Nature
    Trait: Guts
    252 Attack | 252 Speed | 4 HP
    -Close Combat
    -Megahorn
    -Night Slash
    -Stone Edge
    -----
    Heracross is an amazing physical sweeper. The problem is, I can decide If I want to use a Choice Band and Adamant for late game, or Jolly and a scarf for revenge killing.Im also thinking about slapping a Life Orb on it and using it as a SD sweeper.Sooo many options here


    *pokemonelite2000 image removed*
    Infernape @ Choice Specs
    Timid Nature
    Trait: Blaze
    252 Special Attack | 252 Speed | 4 HP
    -Focus Blast
    -Fire Blast | Flamethrower
    -Grass Knot
    -Vaccum Wave
    -----
    SpecsApe here helps against faster threats like SD Weavile, who my team would otherwise hae problems with.


    *pokemonelite2000 image removed*
    Mamoswine @ Life orb
    Adamant Nature
    Trait: Snow Cloak
    252 Attack | 252 Speed | 4 HP
    -Ice Shard
    -Ice Fang
    -Earthquake
    -Stone Edge
    -----
    Mamo stops the likes of Salamence, Dragonite, Latias etc. cold. Ice shard provides Priority and Ice fang is there if I need more power. Stone Edge can aldo hit Gyara and Tokekiss for SE damage, while Earthquake is STAB.


    *pokemonelite2000 image removed*
    Gengar @ Choice Scarf
    Timid Nature
    Trait: Levitate
    252 Special Attack | 252 Speed | 4 Special Defense
    -Shadow Ball
    -Thunderbolt
    -Will-o-Wisp | Hypnosis
    -Focus Blast
    -----
    Gengar here plays a vital role in his team,crippling things like DDMence and Gyara. He also provides a spin blocker, which can be useful at points.



    "image removed"
    Tyranitar @ Life Orb
    Jolly Nature
    Trait: Sand Stream
    252 Attack | 252 Speed | 4 HP
    -Crunch
    -Stone Edge
    -Earthquake | Fire Punch
    -Dragon Dance
    -----
    T-tar here provides a nice psychic type resist, and sorta smashes Azelf and Alakazam to bits. He also is able to handle a few special attacker very well, with sand stream boosting his sp. def.

    Drop a couple sweepers and get some walls.

    I hope to god you're joking. This is CLEARLY meant to be an offensive team, where you rely on resistances instead of walling to set-up sweeps.

    Anyways, I'll probably drop in later for a full rate, just be weary of the fact you have 3 choice item users. It can be risky, so it could be better to drop one of them for a different set or a different Pokemon all together.
     
    Yeah, I noticed that aswell. If I do change one, its most likely going to be Infernape, most likely from Specs to life orb or something else, I am open to opinions.
