what's messed up? everything except the last two alternative moves on the last slot is fine.

Please don't say "I can't change that, it's on GBA"
Meh. I won't go any more in-depth. if you only use this to play link up with your friends, it's fine.

What do you mean by that ?

and RS= Rock Slide

+I searched for a special sweeper that fits in this team but I coudn't find a good one so I made flygon mixed...

 

[touched]

IMO having Flygon Swampert and Claydol on the same team is overkill in terms of Rock resisters, especially if Claydol isn't spinning, which is one of its only uses. Just because you have Tar doesn't mean all your guys have to resist sand. Put a Special wall over one of them, probably Claydol, since as it is now you'll be hard pressed to take special attacks. If you can't get access to FRLG then Regice is your wall of choice.

Also when you play link up w/ friends do you guys play with sleep clause / dtohko clause or any of it? And also do you or they have access to FRLG guys?

 

[saki]

I have acces to FR/LG

and we don't play with sleep cause/species clase/OHKO clause

Who do you suggest over claydol than

I wanted a special wall that is not hitted by SandStorm

 

[snookajam]

as previously mentioned you don't need to make everyone immune to sandstream.
as u know rock, steel, ground types generally have lower special defences than defence

everyone would recommend blissey and so would I
just get the standard moveset:
softboiled, thunderwave, seismic toss, filler
filler can use stuff like healbell (if you have time to breed) or icebeam, toxic etc
cradily is somewhat a special wall compared to the rest of your team, but of course blissey would be better

hmm the standard bliss

I was breeding for it but I coun't find the right nature but I have aromatherapy on it

IMO having Flygon Swampert and Claydol on the same team is overkill in terms of Rock resisters

that's like saying it's overkill to have more than two pokemon with EQ.

 

[Taylor]

No it's not. There are reasons you use Swampert, Flygon and Claydol seperatly. However, having the 3 together? I mean, I understand Swampert's synergy with Flygon or Claydol. I don't understand Flygon and Claydol on the same team. They both have their own unique abilities, but, in the end - they're really similar.

Thus, it's a waste of space if these 3 fill 3 slots on one team.

 

[z0MG]

Having three vastly different pokemon that all are part ground type on the same team doesn't make them a waste of space

Than who do you suggest to replace some of them?

 

[133tSneasel]

You can use Steel types, and you might be able to use Rock types too. Also, High HP Pokemon work well it into it. I think I saw Blissey one, Magneton on another, I saw Scizor and Cradily Once...Also, Metagross, one time I saw Suicune on there too.

 

[saki]

Fixed a few things any more suggestions

I think I shoud have a lot of problems against my friends kindra...

 

[touched]

Blissey takes on Kingdra any day.
You'll probably want to lead with Swampert or Tar.
