This is my team for compititive battling, please help rate, meaning make suggestions on: weaknesses, coverage, change of members, and change in movesets.
SKARMORY
Physical Wall & Shuffler
Impish, 252 HP, 252 Def
Item: leftovers
-spikes
-stealth rock
-whirlwind
-roost
This set has seemed to work for me as a general wall and spiker, some may be put off by the lack of attack move(s) but with this type of skarmory i dont need any attacks. The combined damage done from whirlwinding the enemy team into spikes and rocks is much more than skarmory could ever do with a direct attack.
Jirachi
Support and healer
bold, 252 HP, 100 Def, 158 Sp. Def
Item: leftovers
-Cosmic Power
-wish
-thunder
-water pulse
i switched gardevoir for this, thunder and pulse are for stalling and serene grace abuse. wish is for team healing. cosmic power is to stall earthquakers, it's probably not the best choice of moves, but i dont want to run u-turn...
Flygon
general lead and good type coverage.
Naughty, 252 Atk, 252 Spd
Item: choice band
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
-Fire blast
-Dragon claw
changed from garchomp to flygon, i like flygon b/c he is a good switch in. immune to ground and electic, resists fire (which i have a weakness to) and is immune to spikes and resists stealth rock.
Heracross
Scarf Sweeper & Revenge Killer
Adamant, 252 Atk, 252 Spd
Item: Choice Scarf
-Close Combat
-Megahorn
-Pursuit
-Stone Edge
replaced lucario, heracross is a better scarf-user in my opinion and experience. might do heracross with choice band, might not.
DRAGONITE
Dragon Dancer, stat booster, sweeper
Jolly, 252 Atk, 252 Spd
Item: Lum Berry
-Dragon Dance
-Outrage
-Thunderpunch
-Earthquake
This is basically what i save once the opposing player's walls are weak and his team is almost gone. after one D-dance i can usually sweep a few guys in a row with outrage, then have lum berry stop my confusion to use the other moves. I like this thing becasue the type coverage is good and with jolly and one d-dance it is only outrun by fast choice scarf users (scarf chomp, scarf-gar etc)
Cresselia
Special Wall, staller, special coverage
Calm, 252 HP, 252 Def
Item: Leftovers
-Calm mind
-Grass knot
-Ice Beam
-Moonlight
Basically special wall once it gets up one calm mind. with a C-mind or two, this thing has a great defense stat and sp. def stat. The g-knot and ice beam are for type coverage. Because no one else on my team has ice or grass, cresselia make a good canidate for the two moves. Ice is for dragons and grass is for the bulky water types.
Please help make changes to my team as well as suggestions. I have alot of small untouched shinies. If you leave a GOOD comment and actually HELP. I will clone one and give it to you for free, your choice. I have things like, shiny nidoran (adamant) shiny gastly (mild) shiny bagon (modest) and much more (about 15 in total) Post help. and thanks
