Hello, Im new here on smogon and I really fell in love with this team the moment I saw it.
I would like to give a few suggestions and I would also like you to reply to them, they will be nooby, because im Really new to competitive pokemon
In my opinion, espeons the weakest link and if this team wants to be improved I at least would try other pokemon on espeons place just to see how it goes. Espeons great and the team work well with her and I personally LOVE passin +1-2 CM to heatran and have him rape everything but its a problem with spike stackers who can take a beating(like deoxis-d) that rapid spinners start to feel necessary.
The best rapid spinners in my opinion are: Defensive Cloyster, Hitmontop, Donphan, Forretress, Starmie and Tentacruel.
I doubt forretres and tentacruel would work really well on this team and defensrive cloyster is good to check dragons but you already have victribel and heatran who can do that and shi SDef is just plain shit. Starmie would be good check to heatran to some extent(he is REALLY annoying, I cant blow through teams with victri only because of him ;_;) and she would have that golden fighting resist that espeon has, but I think she is a little too frail, you already have rotom who is a water type and she wouldnt like her water stab nerfed by sun.
The ones that remain are hitmontop and donphan, which in my would suit this team best.( ill leave some calculations, but im a noob with the damage calculator so they might be wrong, I used the one that is on the smogon page which doesnt have genV mon yet, so if you know a calculator that has gen v mon please tell me n_n)
I only have 1 set to hitmontop with a few slashes, he has good resistances to bug, rock(f)uck you terrakion), can but pressure on Ttar, can mess with jellicent with toxic, can bring sun(which would free a slot for rotom-w, or use sun on both if you want), he can take physical and special beating(which i think annoyed you a little about donphan, the fact that he dies easily to special attack) but has lesser power than donphan and cant check the dragons so well, even though he has like 10 priority moves avaible.
The set I would suggest is
Hitmontop (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Close Combat/Hi jump kick
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic/Sunny day/Foresight/Priority/Equake/Fake out/Protect
- Toxic/Sunny day/Foresight/Priority/Equake/Fake out/Protect
Yes, a lot os slashes.The set maximizes physical bulk and is meant to spin and take physical beating, for the special side you already have ninetales. even though this is a physically defensive set it can take some special beating too. Rapid spin to get rid of entry hazards, Stab of choice, one if you prefer accuracy, and the other if you dislike the defense drop and if one wants extra power. Now the crazy slashes, I wont deny that some are more important than others but I put all of them because he really has a lot of options:
-Sunny day for the weather wars, freeing pressure from ninetales
-Foresight so that you can spin on jellicent and gengar
-Toxic so you can cripple some set-up sweepers without lum or sub/annoying jellicent/DIE VOLCARONA
- I hate enemy heatran so I threw Equake there, because why not(it wont do a lot though so i dont really recommend this)
- Priority if you want priority, no ice shard for dragons though, and the priority wont do much
-fake out to be annoying
- Protect to scout
If you test this and test with sunny day, I would recommend on putting pain split on rotom-w, or hidden power, I prefer pain split because I love the move. This takes less damage from physical attacks than donphan, and has a good typing, which donphan also has.
Donphan (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Atk / 128 Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
This is the set that the guy from the first page posted, and I prefer this to a set with 252 def EV because that would basically make him a worser Hitmontop with only a bit more of attack. The moves are pretty obvios, rapid spin por spinnning, rocks because they're rocks, eartquake for stab, heatran and all that and ice shard for revenging dragons. If you test this set I would suggest that you also try putting metal sound to heatran, I promise its so freaking funny to metal sound switch ins and kill everything.
I personally prefer hitmontop because of stronger bulk but I do really miss sturdy, equake and ice shard some thimes. I would like you to test these and give your opinion
