lol yeah I've seen this team before, something similar... and once one of the guys who's taking advantage of whatever weather you have on is gone, it's basically pointless. With everyone and their mother trying to counter weather teams, one with almost zero sense of teamwork (as a whole of 6) is...

As you know, normal doesn't get SE on anything, and is resisted by steel, rock, and immune by ghosts. Popular ghosts will be able to easily get past Sawsbuck, since Jump Kick and Double Edge don't do a thing.

To take care of opposing fires or chandelure/heatran, maybe Nature Power on your deer thing can take care of those (so long as no ballons are present) since it turns into earthquake. replace double-edge

Gliscor: Great choice as a lead, but near pointless when you're not using Poison Heal. Giving him a Toxic Orb as an item + Poison Heal makes him immune to status, while healing him at the same time. (Suggested set) Gliscor (M) @ Toxic Orb Trait: Poison Heal EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / 72 Spd Impish...

Yes, basically any fighting type is going to destroy this team. One resistance to 4 weaknesses is not good for team synergy. Start by thinking about all of the weaknesses and resistances of one or two pokemon you must have on your team, and go from there. (Who will resist weaknesses, who will...

Yes, I agree with Kamitsure, as most steels you are hitting a Physically-based, so Fire Blast is definitely a better choice on Chomp. However, it might be good to have Dual Chop instead of Outrage, since Outrage confuses him in the end, and Dual Chop is good to get through Subs and Dragonite's...

Yeah, for Ferro it would be better to have Leftovers and Leech Seed, Leech replacing Power Whip since Gyro Ball + Curse would be effective enough on its own. Also, Excadrill w/ Sand Rush in a non-SS team is somewhat pointless. It is also better if a Rapid Spinner is not hurt by common Super...

Ohmygod fail, I was going to suggest Tentacruel, since I just discovered his greatness... And actually, this a pretty good set that works really well (for me at least): Tentacruel (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Liquid Ooze EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Hydro Pump - Giga...

Crustle and Terrakion should deserve a mention. Crustle would be way better defensively than Regirock, while also having decent attack and coverage with its Bug and Rock STAB moves (X-scissor and Stone Edge/Rock Slide), as well as Sturdy. He also has SR. Terrakion would also be better than...

If you want a replacement for reuniclus, a suggestion would be maybe Latias- bulk, and still decent spA stat, and while she isn't resistant to hail, she provides a helpful fire resistance.

Salamence would also be a good replacement for Garchomp as a phazer as he has roost, plus Intimidate and decent bulk. Personally, this is the set I run: Salamence (M) @ Lum Berry (Leftovers is an alternate option) Trait: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 16 Def / 216 SDef / 24 Spd Careful Nature (+SDef...

Adding carracosta is another fighting and ground weakness. Any of the other water types would be a superior choice- Jellicent especially, but there's also Seismitoad, and Swanna.

Vaporeon actually has decent SpA, as well as Wish and other great moves, except Vappy would just be a bulky counterpart to Starmie, with the addition of Wish. (boo more grass issues) But since whether you have a rapid spinner or not basically makes or breaks this team, the only thing that might...

After testing many different combinations and teams, this certain lineup has done the best for me so far. I’m sure it’s sorta whiny to say, ohmygosh it’s my first team please heeeelp! But, after beginning competitive pokemon only back in March (with help including only countless analysis’ read...

To replace Kabutops, I'd suggest Donphan. Both of its abilities help, either having a built in focus sash, or the potential for a miss in sandstorms. Also, with rapid spin, and decent defenses as well as a great attack stat, it can still put dents in things with Earthquake, plus Ice Shard as a...

To replace Slowbro- Unaware Quagsire? Rotom-W? Anything boosting does nothing to Quag, and rotom has only one weakness, but is not 4X like quagsire.

Tyranitar and steels like Ferro/Forry/Skarm benefit. Basically any slow powerhouse made "faster" by TR nearly sweep a team, while slow walls can set up and do their thing.

Yaay I'm not the only one who really loves Shaymin ;_; So Milotic and Aerodactyl aren't doing well, and Sigilyph is an issue... First, to replace Milotic as a phazer and Bulky Water. Personally, my favourite phazers are Salamence and Skarmory (Dragon Tail and Whirlwind, respectively). As...

Yeah Reuniclus is a good choice for this team, especially to cover the fighting-type issue, but in my experience Recover isn't the best move on him. This set does really well for me: Reuniclus (M) @ Leftovers (or LO since recoil is non-existent) Trait: Magic Guard EVs: 252 HP / 100 Def / 156...
