I would bump grass knot for Energy orb. 9 times out of 10 it will hit harder.

Second, 2 SR pokes is redundant. By the time the second one makes it into the game, its often to late to have a very noticeable impact.

Love you're Rueiniclus btw, I used to run 1 on my SS team. Very helpful indeed.

Yeah my bad on that. For some reason I thought he was allowed in 5th gen OU.

Anyways I've made some changes to my team in the OP.

Is there anything else that should be changed?

Where's gastrodon on your first edit? Dunno if it's my computer or if you just haven't added it but i can't see it :/

Sorry about that. I hit save before I had finished.

I've made some changes due to some advice from different places.

So what do you guys think about the team after the "First Edit?"

@Saxon5

If you want some better explanations I'll come up with some tomorrow. It is just too late right now to think.:p

Sorry about that.

At a glance: Ferrothorn@ Leftovers Iron Barbs EV's: 252 Hp / 216 SpD / 40 Spe Sassy Spikes Leach Seed Gyro Ball Power Whip Ferrothorn will help against any pesky water types. Plus it just overall an amazing wall that can be annoying to get rid of. Tyranitar@ Chople Berry Sandstream EV’s: 252 HP / 200 SpD / 48 SpA / 8 Spe Sassy Stealth Rock Fire Blast Crunch Ice Beam Tyranitar will be the obvious lead to get sandstorm going and to set Stealth Rock up right away. Fire Blast counters any steal types like Ferratorn or Skarmory that try to wall. Excadrill@ Air Balloon Sand Rush EV’s: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 Hp Adamant Earthquake Sword Dance Rock Slide X-Scissor Excadrill is the main physical attacker on the team. There isn't much competition out there for him. He just Sword Dances and prepares to sweep. Jellicent@ Leftovers Water Absorb Bold EV's: 248 HP / 216 Def / 48 Sp3 Will-O-Wisp Recover Scald Taunt Jellicent is the counter to waters. It'll wall them all day long. Plus it'll stop others from setting up with Taunt. Will-O-Wisp will cripple any sweepers. Gliscor@ Toxic Orb Poison Heal EV’s: 252 HP / 172 Def / 84 Spe Impish Sword Dance Taunt Ice Fang Earthquake Gliscor is here to make sure fighting types that would otherwise wreck this team don't last long. Reuniclus @ Leftovers Magic Guard Evs: 252 SpA / 252 Def / 4 HP Modest Psyshock Focus Blast Calm Mind Recover Reuniclus is the only special attacker on the team. He stops a lot of the fighting pokemon that some members are weak to. Plus can hit waters harder than anyone else on the team can. This is my first time trying to make a competitive team. I'm playing it pretty safe and am for the most part using movesets that are tried and true. Are there any major weaknesses that I've overlooked? Thanks in advance! Original: ... At a glance: Magnezone @ Light Clay Magnet Pull EV's: 252 Hp / 96 Def / 162 SpD Calm Light Screen Reflect Thunder Wave Volt Charge Magnezone will lead the team and set up Light Screen and Reflect before switching out with Volt Change to Hippowdon. It will also cripple sweepers with Thunder Wave. Hippowdon@ Leftovers Sandstream EV’s: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Impish Earthquake Stealth Rock Slack Off Ice Fang Hippowdon will be the one Magnezone switches out with to get the sandstorm going. Once in she'll set up SR and just wall any physical attackers. She'll also be the counter for Excadrill. Ice Fang can pop any balloon and help some against dragons. Excadrill@ Air Balloon Sand Rush EV’s: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 Hp Adamant Earthquake Sword Dance Rock Slide X-Scissor Excadrill is the main physical attacker on the team. There isn't much competition out there for him. He just Sword Dances and prepares to sweep. Swampert@ Leftovers Torrent Evs: 240 HP / 216 Def / 52 SpD Relaxed Stealth Rock Earthquake Ice Beam Roar Swampert is the one I'm not really sure about. Can re-set up SR if Hippowdon can't and also be able to phase pokemon out. Plus can be a thread to some dragons. However I'm not really sure if he's the best pick for this spot. He's mostly here since he has some resistances that others don't have on the team and doesn't bring really anymore weaknesses. Garchomp@ Leftovers Sand Veil EV’s: 252 HP / 120 SpD / 76 Def / 60 Spe Jolly Dragon Claw Dragon Tail Earthquake Protect Unlike most Garchomp mine here is for mostly scouting and phasing out any annoyances. It has STAB EQ and Dragon Claw to it's disposal though. Reuniclus @ Leftovers Magic Guard Evs: 252 SpA / 252 Def / 4 HP Modest Psyshock Focus Blast Calm Mind Recover Reuniclus is the only special attacker on the team. He stops a lot of the fighting pokemon that some members are weak to. Plus can hit waters harder than anyone else on the team can. This is my first time trying to make a competitive team. I'm playing it pretty safe and am for the most part using movesets that are tried and true. I feel that everyone on the team has a definite spot besides Swampert. I feel that there could be a someone better however I'm unable to find one. Are there any major weaknesses that I've overlooked? Thanks in advance! __________________ † I am a Christian and proud of it! Copy and paste this if you are too.† Last edited by KingDustero; Jun 25th, 2011 at 3:59:32 AM.
