XY OU please help me rating my pokemon team :)

leon extint

Well im a newby trainer, started on old school like many of us i think, but well im trying to make my pokemon team based on some investigation i made and i want to ask you all if u can rate my team, and suggest me what to change and maybe which items use hehe like i said im a little big newb. Thank u all here comes my team.

Forretress @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD

Another one of the suggestions thanks =).


Dragonite @ Lum Berry
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
Dragon Dance
Outrage
Extreme Speed
Fire Punch

He is my main physical sweeper, i picked him because his bulkiness and thanks to multiscale, which is a great ability to kim him alive on the battle field, i use roost to keep him healty and for multiscale to be up as much as posible, dragon claw covers him from other dragons and makes a good STAB move from dragonite, extreme speed only use is to sweep everything that survives to a dragon claw attack, fire punch hits ferrothorn and other steels, plants and ice pokemon that can treat him


Talonflame @ Leftovers
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpD / 8 Spe
Bulk Up
Roost
Will-O-Wisp
Brave Bird


Thanks to suggestions i picked up talon flame =)


Clefable Bold Nature
Item?
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 SpD
Moves:
Moonblast
Wish
Protect
Aromatherapy

Shes my teams cleric, i took her because she has a good movepool including moonblast and aromatherapy, wish keeps my team healty when needed, aromatherapy to eliminate burns, paralisis or other stats that treat my pokemon, her main rol is to switch in, aromatherapy my team, heal pokemon when needed and then go back to his pokeball,


Rotom wash Calm nature
Item?
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP, 136 SpA, 120 SpD
Moves:
Hydro pump
Volt Switch
WIll o wisp
Pain split

I took rotom washer as my Sp Sweeper/wall because hes only weak to ground and grass, and thanks to levitate hes protected from moves like earthquake, hydropump is there because of his high base attack and with thunderbolt makes 2 good stab moves, will o wisp help me to get rid of many walls much faster and im not sure if i should use pain split or protect on rotom thats why i need help hehe.


Scizor @ Scizorite
Ability: Light Metal
EVs: 248 HP / 84 Atk / 176 SpD
Impish Nature
Swords Dance
Roost
Bullet Punch
Pursuit
I love the resistances mega scizor has andhigh attack and defense he has thats why i picked him up for the team, hes my mega attack sweeper, bullet punch hits fairies when they hurt the most also helps me with rock pokemon, its speed makes it a must have to my set, sword's dance is to boost its already high attack, and with u turn in case that i need to change him and with his bug type makes it a very high STAB move, my other choice here is batton pass so i can pass the buff from sword's dance to dragonite, id love that someone suggest me here, pursuit is there because i cant get knock off on my scizor =/ i dont have B/W.



Well thats it hope some of u guys can help me a little with my team thank you!!!
Hope u can help me with my team and with which items i should pick. THANK U ALL AGAIN FOR UR HELP :D

hi leon extint I would recommend messaging one of the mods to get this moved to OU Teams, since this looks like one. The Pokemon you have are not really viable in Ubers outside of Clefable and Mega Scizor and you would get a lot more help in the OU subforum.

Thank you for asking lemonade :D, already msged MOD Aim so maybe he can change this post to the OU forum =)
 
Hiya! I like this team, and as suggested before it should be moved to the OU Forum.
Just as a protip for the future, try to post your sets in this format:
<Sprite>
Pokemon @ Item
Ability:
Nature:
EVs:
- Move 1
- Move 2
- Move 3
- Move 4
<Description of Pokemon, detailing its role in the team and why you chose it>
Now, onto some suggestions:
  • For Probopass, this may be a typo, but make sure you have Leftovers as an item. Leftovers is necessary because Probopass has no way to heal itself, and the constant recovery is useful to help Probopass wall. Also, I would maybe try Earth Power over Flash Cannon. While Flash Cannon is a great STAB for Probopass to take advantage of, your team doesn't have that much of a way to hit Poison types that threaten Clefable and Togekiss.
  • For Dragonite, I would try this set over the set you have:
    Dragonite @ Lum Berry
    Ability: Multiscale
    EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
    Adamant Nature
    - Dragon Dance
    - Outrage
    - Extreme Speed
    - Fire Punch
    The reason I'm suggesting this is because you noted that Dragonite is your main physical sweeper. You want it to hit as hard as possible, and this set will allow you to do so. Max Attack + Adamant allows you to hit extremely hard, and the speed EVs are invested to outspeed most threats after a Dragon Dance. Lum Berry is vital to this set, as it stops Pokemon from breaking Multiscale with status (and stops confusion after an Outrage if not used previously). Dragon Dance is the glue of this set, making Dragonite a threatening sweeper at just +1. Outrage is the main STAB that wrecks many Pokemon, Extreme Speed as a secondary move to hit +1 priority users, and Fire Punch to hit Steel-types that Dragonite cannot hit without. Dragonite synergizes pretty well with Clefable, as it can provide Wish
  • Go for Leftovers on Togekiss. Since you're running a bulkier set, Leftovers is important to allow Togekiss to absorb attacks more efficiently. This is the same situation for Rotom-W and Clefable.
  • On Rotom-W, I would try Volt Switch over Thunderbolt and Pain Split over Protect. Volt Switch is the preferred option because it allows Rotom-W to gain offensive momentum, while allowing it to escape from certain situations. Pain Split is the better option because it allows you to damage the opponent while healing yourself (in a majority of the cases, at least) and works well in conjunction with Leftovers. Finally, I would suggest using a 252 HP / 212 SpD / 44 Spe spread, because you want to be able to outspeed certain Pokemon (like Belly Drum Azumarill) while getting that jump point (basically when your stat increases by one more point on a certain EV) in Sp.Def and maximizing bulk.
  • For Scizor, I wouldn't go for Baton Pass or U-Turn, but Knock Off. Knock Off is Scizor's greatest utility, and provides great coverage with Bullet Punch. It's a staple on every Scizor, and necessary for Scizor to hit a lot of Pokemon that it can't hit with Bullet Punch.
Keep in mind that these are only suggestions, so you don't have to follow them. I hope I helped!
Good luck on your team =)
 
Thank you for your fast answer lunistrius i wanted to go with knock off with my scizor, my only issue here is that i dont have a gen 5 game that can get me knock off on scyther.

And PD: I think the post is already on the OU forum hehe xD
 
Im thinking on using bug bite instead of superpower nor knock off, gives utility when the enemy uses berries and noticed that i didnt selected the ability on scizor xD i might use technisian what do u think?

Edit: Nvm just noticed that bug bite is also fromt the 5° gen u_u
Edit #2: Cant figure out which move to use that is boosted with technician and maybe boosted by stab

Hi! You asked me for a rate, so here goes :]

This team is unique to say the least. I'm intrigued by the use of Probopass. What does it do that Aggron/Mega Aggron and Forretress don't already do better? I suggest you change it to one of those two, as I feel the team could greatly benefit from their presence:

Aggron @ Aggronite
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Stealth rock
- Heavy Slam
- Thunder wave
- Earthquake

OR

Forretress @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
IVs: 12 Spe
Impish Nature
- Stealth rock
- Gyro Ball
- Volt Switch
- Rapid Spin

I suggest replacing Togekiss. It is rather redundant if you have Clefable on your team, so I suggest changing it to Tornadus-T as it provides better synergy with the team. This is the set I recommend for this team:

Tornadus-Therian @ Assault Vest
Ablity: Regenerator
EVs: 132 HP / 160 SpA / 216 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hurricane
- Focus Blast
- Knock Off
- U-turn

On Rotom-W, I suggest using Leftovers. Additionally, don't run Protect on it in singles as it is a poor choice of move for Rotom-W. Additionally, I suggest using Volt Switch over Thunderbolt as Rotom-W needs to be able to create momentum.

You seem rather unsure about the Scizor set. However, it is quite clear you want to go for a Swords Dance set. My recommendation for its moveset is as follows:

Scizor @ Scizorite
Ability: Light Metal
EVs: 248 HP / 84 Atk / 176 SpD
Impish Nature
- Swords Dance
- Roost
- Bullet Punch
- Knock Off

This fits the role that you want to fill perfectly.

I hope I've helped! It was a tough rate, and I am sure that I will get counter arguments and criticism for this one, but I will take it in my stride.

I suggest that you have more certainty when you post RMTs in the future. This team seems rather unfinished, and it kinda takes away from the main reason the subforum exists. The main purpose of the subforum is to post tried and tested teams and have them evaluated by other members of the community, rather than have them help you build it from an uncertain start. Keep that in mind in the future, and it will make rates significantly easier to do.

Once again, I hope I've helped!
