Hey I'm crobats and i have played shoddybattle for a few months now (formerly under the name "Redsword") and I decided to see how good my latest team was. Guess it'll probably be my last Gen IV team with Gen IV coming to a close.
Skarmory(F)@Lum Berry "Kylier"
Ability: Keen Eye
EVs:252HP/128SDef/128Spe
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
-Taunt
-Spikes
-Roost
-Whirlwind
This Skarmory is a very good lead against many of the slower leads except heatran. Yes it's vashta's set but it works very well with my team and with the lum berry also taunts smearagle and roserade. It helps late game by whirl-winding physical threats away.
SYNERGY
Electric: Rotom-W, Celebi
Fire: Heatran, Gyarados, Kingdra, Snorlax's thick fat
Agaisnt top 10 leads:
Heatran(M)@Leftovers "Durant"
EVs:244HP/32SAtk/12SpD/220Spe
Calm (+SDef, -Atk)
-Substitue
-Roar
-Earth Power
-Lava Plume
Changed to sub roar Heatran. Switches into something it threatens and subs. Roar for racking up damage with my spikes and stealth rock. Also can take on Rotom-H.Testing SOMALIA's set with toxic and Fire Blast.
SYNERGY
Water: Gyarados, Celebi, Kingdra
Fighting: Gyarados, Celebi, Rotom-W
Ground: Gyarados, Skarmory, Celebi, Rotom-W
Celebi(F)@Leftovers "Rosary"
EVs:252HP/220Def/36Spe
Bold (+Def, -Atk)
-Grass Knot
-Recover
-Thunder Wave
-Stealth Rock
My mid game Stealth Rocker and also helps deal with Blissey through leech seeding it. It takes earthquakes aimed at Heatran and water moves from Vaporeon and Starmie. Grass Knot is for a STAB move dealing with opposing Swamperts ,Hippowdons, Gyarados and sometimes Starmie. T-wave for slowing down threats to my team such as Gengar.
SYNERGY
Fire: Heatran, Gyarados, Kingdra, Snorlax due to think fat
Ice: Heatran, Snorlax
Bug: Gyarados, Heatran, Skarmory
Poison: Skarmory, Heatran
Flying: Skarmory, heatran, Jolteon
Ghost: Heatran, Skarmory Snorlax
Dark: Heatran, Skarmory
Gyarados(M)@Leftovers "Milanor"
EVs:248HP/248Def/12Spe
Impish (+Def, -SAtk)
-Rest
-Waterfall
-Roar
-Sleep Talk
This thing is very bulky and takes hits like a champ. I usually let it take on most leads my Skarmory can't defeat as well as provide roar support for my team. He takes on Machamps and Scizors for my team. Along with Celebi he absorbs status for my team while also providing a good check for fire types like Heatran and Infernape.
SYNERGY
Electric: Jolteon, Celebi
Rock: erm well... Skarm and Celebi sorta.
Rotom-W@Leftovers "Princess Yggdra"
EVs:252HP/6Def/252Spe
Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
-Pain Split
-Will-O-Wisp
-Thunderbolt
-Substitute
This thing is quite annoying and can help get some key threats burnt such as Tyranitar. Also is my spinblocker. More speed seems good so far.
SYNERGY
Dark: Skarmory, Heatran
Ghost: Heatran, Skarmory, Snorlax
Snorlax(M)@Leftovers "Cruz"
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs (a little unsure here): 252HP/252SpD/4Def
Careful (+SpD -SpA)
-Whirlwind
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-Crunch
Snorlax seems to work better for checking the LO sweepers that dent my team and was placed where Kingdra formerly was. I'm still a bit unsure on the evs and the moveset but so far this set is fine. Crunch is especially for gengar but the rest is the main set from the analysis.
SYNERGY
Fighting: Rotom-W, Gyarados, Celebi
Some trouble stuff for my team:
DD Tyranitar have given me the most trouble so far testing this team. Gyarados can to a point can if it has bounce and dragon dance and Rotoms are a bit of a pain if they are Rotom-w.
Please Rate my Team and help me with what needs fixing. Also Yggdra Union is a really fun game for GBA/PSP and worth playing.
Team Yggdra Union: We'll Never Fight Alone

Metagross- Taunt, then spikes.
Swampert- Taunt, then spikes.
Infernape- I go to Gyarados and waterfall.
Heatran- I either switch out to Heatran or Gyarados
