Alright, sorry that this isn't a rate, but if I don't mention this I won't be able to fall asleep. The title should read: Who said you couldn't be creative and do well (a creative team). Doing good would only apply if you were donating to charity, helping out starving orphans, or just doing good deeds in general.
 
Hi, Nubagator is perfectly correct about the difference between "good" and "well"! But, beyond the fascinating descreptancies in word syntax your team does have a few issues. I like the fact that your trying to be creative! However, Terrakion does bad things to this team outspeeding and OHKOing virtually every Pokemon you have without even using a Choice Scarf. I would suggest dropping Regice in favor of Choice Band Scizor. Regice just adds way too many weaknesses, and I don't really see it doing much for you on the defensive or offensive. Its terrible defensive typing and weakness to Stealth Rock and Fighting moves unfortunately limit its ability to serve this team well. Scizor on the other hand will offer the ability to revenge kill many top threats, the most important of which is Terrakion. I recommend this set:

Scizor
EVs: 248 HP/252 Att./8 Speed
Nature: Adamant
Item:Choice Band
Ability: Technician
-Bullet Punch
-U-turn
-Superpower
-Pursuit

Good luck and I hope this helps!
 
your team is quite offensively oriented. Your different typing of your five sweepers, and their great power will force a lot of switching, therefore I suggest you add SR to your team.

You can either do this by replacing t-wave of ferro, or swithching out regice.

The SR will seirously aid your in getting more 1HKOS, and I believe is necessary.

Also lastly I would say a spinner could be helpful purely to aid with your peeps weak to rock!

So I suggest perhaps putting in a fortress with:
-rapid spin
-toxic
-Stealth rock
-volt switch
He lets you have a nice defensive mon, give you switch intitiative, poison support, RP, and SR. I think he'd help out a lot more then regice ever would.

Hope this helps!
 
From what I gather by your team's members your team is an offensive one that tries to dictate the pace of play, by forcing your opponents to have to switch around you and your attacks. There are a couple of problems with this, however. First of all, you don't have a single Pokemon that sets up hazards thus you can't capitalise on all the switches your attacks would cause (as mklo14 mentioned). Secondly, you are using what are basically weaker versions of more established threats. Feraligatr is a weaker, slower and less bulky version of Gyarados and Eelektross is a slower, weaker less bulky version of Electivire with less type coverage. Therefore I recommend the following changes:

-Change Feraligatr to a bulky Dragon Dance Gyarados. It can set up on a larger variety of Pokemon thanks to Taunt and hits harder than Feraligatr does as well as not having a Grass-type weakness.
130.png

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 176 HP / 128 Atk / 204 Spe
Adamant Nature
-Dragon Dance
-Taunt
-Waterfall
-Stone Edge

-Change Eelektross to Life Orb Mixed Electivire. It hits a little less hard but can act as a wall breaker (something that your team lacks) and is also a good scout thanks to Volt Switch
471.png

Electivire @ Life Orb
Ability: Motor Drive
EVs: 40 Atk / 252 SpA / 216 Spe
Mild Nature
-Thunderbolt
-Cross Chop
-Flamethrower
-Hidden Power [Ice]

And finally: add some hazards to your Ferrothron. It is an imperative or you are completely misusing him. I would replace Gyro Ball with Stealth Rock and Ingrain with Leech Seed.
 
I think i might just switch ferrathorn for fortress beacuse its a physical wall for a physical wall and im not the biggest fan of gyaravire combo(its not like smog just talked about it)
 
Well if you want a special wall use blissey/chansey (doesnt matter which one you choose)
But like another one said you are weak to terakion.
Thats really a major issue. I suggeest switching ur regice to a scizor like Lockeness said.
Its very good and gives your team priority..
 
Hey, just thought I'd stop by and let you know, Victini's ability only helps the accuracy of pokemon that are on the field. So, unless you are in a double or triple battle, nothing is going to get boosted accuracy except for the Victini itself.
 
Well, I'm having a little bit of trouble here. While I wouldn't dare encourage using cookie-cutter teams, this team isn't going to do much in OU. It's essentially a UU team with a couple of OU Pokemon thrown in. I like the idea of Hydreigon as a Lead, but the overpresence of Tyranitar essentially cripples it in a sense. There's no way outside of a critical hit that you're going to avoid Stealth Rock. Adding more Steels would only add/increase a weakness to Magnezone. Victini is doing virtually nothing for your team. You say it can take a beating. Maybe from a Wing Attack off of an unboosted Pidgey. It has terrible typing, making it vulnerable to almost everything in the current metagame. I'd be glad to play you on PO and give you a full analysis of your team. [Brotherhood]Zero.
 
Changes im in the progress of adding/removing to my team:

Feraligatr -> Gyarados(Expert Belt) (X)

Eelectross -> E-Vire(Physical attacker with cell battery) (X)

Victini -> Heatran(Special attacker) (X)

Ferrathorn -> Fortetress(mklo14's set) (X)

Regice -> Blissey(serene grace special wall)(or vaproeon) (X)
 
It's looking a little bit better now. However, you're still having some trouble with
Fighting types. You have 3 Weaknesses and only one resistance. Plus, once your Gyarados is gone, you have nothing to prevent a Conkeldurr sweep. You might want to fix that.
 
should i change blissey for a special wall dragonite or is there any other way to fix my problem and i found that i have problems with darmanitan in the sun.
 
I really like Gyaravire Cores but may i suggest specs Jolteon? its Voltabsorb lets it take electric type attacks aimed at Gyardos and can attack with its high spiecal attack with choice specs and can use its 130 base speed. it is pretty frail however but your Gyarados is pretty bulky and can take hits for it and also has a earth immunity to take earthquake. also can absorb thunderwaves aimed to cripple gyarados.

135.gif

Jolteon @ Choice Specs
Abilty: Volt Absorb
Evs: 252 Spa/ 4 Sp Def/ 252 Spe
Nature: Timid
Moves:
-ThunderBolt
-VoltSwitch
-Shadowball
-Hidden Power Fighting

Note: life orb can also be used
 
I don't really see how your team kills something bulky or something that sets up, so I would put Cross Chop on Electivire over Rock Slide since rock slide doesn't do much and you now have a way to kill chansey. I would also put DD on gyarados since he kind of sucks without it. Your heatran set doesn't really make sense to me. I'd take out substitute or flash cannon and put Roar in there.
 
@ spdude

if i canged vire for jolteon i would only have 1 physical attacker leaving me defenseless to a special tank like chansey or jellicent or vaporen.

@ TransparentOpacity

Rock slide has been very helpful on vire compared to what cross chop would be able to do and pretty much any power physical attack could defeat a chansey,and with the dd thing,what would i even replace for it anf finally heatran,it's part of the reason i can fly be sun teams with the subsitute when the ninetales goes for the fire move on forretress i can get flash fire,set up a sub on the switch then sweep and my heatran is a special attacking one,not a stalling one.
 
I would suggest making gastrodon blky special attacker,replacing blissy.

gastrodon@leftovers
Storm Drain
Modest(+Satk, -Atk)
252hp/252Spatk/4Sdef
-Scald
-Ice Beam
-Earth Power
-Recover

This has great synergy with Heatran and is pretty powerful in its own right
 
how dose it have synergy with heatran,and i have been trying out cress and it helped me out with conkeldurr(and im currently testing my team on PO on the PO server if anyone want to battle me on there)
 
Heatran resists Gastrodons lone weakness, Grass, 4x and Gastrodon absorbs water attacks directed at heatran, while getting a powerup.
 
Oh so its actually sorta like a trio combo actually inbewteen forretress,heatran and gastro(forretress + fire attack + heatran switch = power up,heatran + water attack + gastro switch = power up,gastro + grass attack + switch to forretress or heatran = resist)
