Hey,

Nice team 2sly4u, I really like seeing stall in the RMT forums for a change. I saw your team has a large weakness to Terrakion, especially the Double Dance + Rock Gem set and to a lesser extent, Choice Band. If he switches in, things aren't going to go down well as unless you predict spot on for what hes running, somethings going to get hurt. I also saw that Mixed Venusaur is a massive threat, being able to beat everything on your team. HP [GROUND] Offensive Quiver Dance Volcarona also looks troublesome due to the fact it can get past Heatran very easily and from there wreck havoc.

First off, seeing as how you lack a spin-blocker, a really good option for your team would be to use Rocky Helmet > Leftovers on Ferrothorn. This makes Rapid Spinning away your precious hazards a bit more penalizing for the other team and means that it will be hard for your opponent to get off more than 2 Rapid Spins a match.

Now, seeing that some of your biggest threats come from weather teams (Tornadus, Terrakion, Venusaur, Volcarona etc.) I thought for somebody to help you counter weather while still being able to do something. Looking at Alakazam, he doesn't quite fit into your team. He adds nothing typing wise, and besides being a safety check, he can't really do much else for you. thats why I think you should replace Alakazam with either Physically Defensive Hippodon or Choice Scarf Tyranitar. Both of these 2 can set up Sandstorm for you, while Tyranitar still can revenge kill like Alakazam did due to his great speed, bulk and strength, Hippowdon can shrug off hits like no tomorrow and can add another PHazer to your team, which you would like.

GL with the team, sets below
