I feel we should have a rate my team thread so i feel like starting one up.

Crobat @ Leftovers
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Satk/252 Spd/6 HP
Timid
-Hypnosis
-Roost
-Air Slash
-Sludge Bomb

Air slash and sludge bombs for STAB. Hypnosis helps me get a T1 sleep if i get lucky that is. If the opponent is asleep i can freely use nasty plot then have crobat proceed to sweep, Focus sash is there incase hypnosis misses and since crobat has horrible defense in general.

Gliscor @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Veil (Too bad i didnt get hyper cutter =/ )
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/6 HP
Impish
-Stealth Rock
-Aerial Ace
-Earthquake
-Roost

Physical wall. Take that you Stag Bettle!.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 152 HP/252 Def/104 SAtk
Bold
-Thunderwave
-Ice Beam
-Seismic Toss
-Softboiled

Special Wall.

Electivire @ Focus Sash
Trait: Motor Drive
EVs: 252 Atk / 176 Spd / 80 SpA
Lonely
- Earthquake
- Cross Chop
- Ice Punch
- Thunderbolt

Safe switch ins against electric type pokemon which i can easily abuse electivres special trait

Garchomp @ Choice Band
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 Atk/240 Spd/16 HP
Jolly
-Outrage
-Fire Fang
-Crunch
-Earthquake

Physical Sweeper. Do you think he should be CB/swords danced version/or have CS on garchomp???

Milotic @ Leftovers
Trait: Marvel Scale
EVs: 212 HP/120 SAtk/176 Def
Bold
-Hypnosis
-Recover
-Ice Beam
-Surf

Incase gliscor goes down i can always use her as a backup. Also she is resistant to pokemon that are ice types since half my pokemon are weak to ice. Milotic would make a perfect switch in for ice punch.

So what do you guys think of the team? :smile:

Light clay might be nice here, with or without item clause. Might want body slam>twave on kiss to avoid elect switch-ins.Might want to max that speed out on garchomp to outspeed other garchomps. Garchomp and sala on the same team doesn't seem all that smart.I think you might also be Gyarados weak to a degree.

thanks moltres for the suggestions. I guess i could replace sally for gyarados since i already have a special sweeper anyways. Besides both of them are weak to ice so gyarados is a good replacement for the moment. With light clay will it still work even though bronzong switches out???
 
i don't like the fact that your two biggest sweepers aren't extremely speed and are limited by choice items.

Pichu Bros, try giving Gyarados Focus Sash, so, you face something electric, thinking they KO you, but use Avalanche, hang on with Focus Sash, and KO them.

Gengar @ Focus Sash
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd/252 Satk/6 HP
Modest
-Focus Blast
-Hypnosis
-Thunderbolt
-Shadow Ball

Focus sash helps me alot against pesky weaviles that like to pursuit or use night slash. Or if im up against alakazam who uses a psychic and i can bounce him back with shadow ball.

Bronzong @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/208 Def/48 SDef
Bold
-Light Screen
-Reflect
-Rest
-Stealth Rock

Hes my team support as my team needs defense and special defense. Hes not really meant to be a attacker as he has no attack moves. Stealth rocks is a good move on him. Rest is there if you want to try to use the light screen and reflect over again. I try to find out if most of the opponents team is either mostly physical sweepers or special sweepers.

Togekiss @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EV: 228 HP/200 Spd/82 SAtk
Timid
-Air Slash
-Grass Knot
-Wish
-Thunder Wave

I like using her since she can often suprise alot of opponents. Grass knot for ground and rocks pokemon like rhyperrior and swampert. Wish is there to heal off my other pokemon that have low HP. So between the reflect/light screen and wish my team and last a long time. Thunder wave is to slow the opponents down. Giving my sweepers access to sweep the opponents entire team.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 152 HP/252 Def/104 SAtk
Bold
-Sing
-Ice Beam
-Seismic Toss
-Softboiled

Special Wall.

Salamence @ Choice Spec
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Spd/252 Satk/6 HP
Modest
-Draco Meteor
-Hydro Pump
-Fire Blast
-Dragon Pulse

Special Sweeper and with the light screen support. He can take 2 hits from an ice beam. Intimidates helps me alot against physical sweepers so their attack power gets lowered which is helpful.

Garchomp @ Choice Band
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 Atk/240 Spd/16 HP
Jolly
-Outrage
-Fire Fang
-Crunch
-Earthquake

This guy can be a beast if using him the right way. He does the same job as salamence except hes a physical sweeper.


So what do you guys think of the team? :smile:

Exploding/Specs/Nasty Plot Azelf with HP Ice and can take out your whole team excl. Gengar, which it takes down to 1HP on the switch if it uses Psychic. Giving Bronzong a -Spd. Nature and Gyro Ball would help alot against most things that counter your team (Weavile, Mamoswine, etc.).
 
Can you help me please? I am not a competetive battler, never played at a tournament before, so I don't understand much. BTW this is my gym leader team so I can only have two Pokemon that aren't psychic-type, and only one non-uber legend.

Since you beat me royally, Skarmbliss, I may not have a right to comment. However, I really like your team. I've always been a Bronzong fan, and your moveset can be particularly helpful for defensive purposes. Infernape may be a problem for it, but I have a feeling, especially with Reflect in place, that it can hold its own. Blissey has always been a great Pokemon, and continues to be in this generation. But do you need it along with Bronzong? Seems like it should be one or the other for me. Fellow Dragon types may be a problem, but if you put your screens into place early, you should be fine. Togekiss...yeah, very good Pokemon.

depends. in a 3v3 format, Choice Items are truly the way to go.


In 6v6, Leech Seed/Stealth Rock Combos are dead sexy- all sweeper partys wil find it hard to remove tanks like Torterra, even with things like Ice beam.

Having both Hypnosis and Nasty Plot on Crobat is impossible as there isn't anyone in the Flying Egg Group that can learn both.
 
Here's my base setup for my team(stats and attack later but suggestible.

Empoleon
Kingdra
kyogre
Suicune
Swampert
Ludicolo

And if amy team member changes must be made, the replacements need to be water typed.No if ands or buts!
