Hey

Excellent team man, you've done an excellent job covering majority of the threats. Fighting types do hit this team hard and are problematic. To fix this situation I would suggest you to replace Salamence for Choice Scarf Landorus. Your team desperately needs a scarfed mon and Landorus does a good job putting pressure on opposing teams. It is an effective revenge killer and an amazing late-game sweeper. Landorus also provides you insurance against Sun, Rain and Sand teams better than Salamence. Landorus handles DD Scarfty, resists electric moves (avoids para vs rain teams) which gives him more advantage over Salamence. This set is pretty straight forward and will fit effectively in your team. Earthquake, U-turn, and Stone Edge are there for obvious reasons, Hammer Arm decimates Scarfty and Air Balloon trans. Landorus eliminates your 3/6 rock weakness which is a bonus!

Choice Scarf Landorus


I agree with the above raters to give Abomasnow Giga Drain over Wood Hammer. Wood Hammer isn't doing much for you except for making your survivability less. Giga Drain provides you with some sort of recovery which could be the key to win many weather wars. Hail and entry hazard damage could easily wear down your current Starmie with no problem. Recover over Blizzard allows you to survive longer and support your team mates. Good Luck!
