Hey Smogon im here to do a Rate my Team because i have had alot of success lately, but i want to know what can do to make it better. Thanx :3
P.S. all nicknames were chosen for no discernible reason
(Typical) Lead
Lemonade the Ninetales
Gender: Female
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Drought
Moves
Flamethrower
SolarBeam
Hypnosis
Confuse Ray
EV's 252 Speed, 252 Sp. Attack
Nature: Timid
Basicly the sun inducer meant to kill, yet stay alive at the same time
I picked the nature so ninetales can go first with hypnosis or confuse ray rather than have a huge attacking stat (i have no shortage of those). the leftovers are there to increase longetivity while the opponent is asleep or confused (or both) as my weather inducer it needs to stay alive most the game. but if they dont have a weather inducer (or its fainted) i would like ninetales to be able to attack efficiently. the typical is there because if they have a weather team as well im less inclined to lead with it, id rather this guy
Secondary lead/Sweeper
Cheez Samich the Salamence
Gender: Male
Item: Choice Scarf
Ability: Moxie
Moves
Outrage
Fire Blast
Earthquake
Dragon Claw
EV's 252 Speed, 252 Attack, 4 Sp. Attack
Nature: Adamant
Salamence is typically the pokemon who gets the most kills in a game. with the choice scarf moxie, after steel types have been eliminated, salamence can finish up a game with relative ease (confusion hurts like a bitch though, fully able to do more than 50%). Fire Blast is there for the main purpose of killing ferrothorns, which will wall me to oblivion. Dragon claw is for a quick revenge kill when i dont want to be locked in to outrage. earthquake functions the same way.
Early game "lay down the hurt" guy
Fritos the Zoroark
Gender: Female
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Illusion
Moves
Dark Pulse
Focus Blast
Flamethrower
Nasty Plot
Ev's 252 Speed, 252 Sp. Attack, 4 hp
Nature: Modest
If your wondering about his description, zoroarks job is to scare pokes (water, rock or ground types mostly) off as venusaur set up a nasty plot and and put dents in their team, typically this is done before hazards are up to maintain the illusion. thus the name; Early game "lay down the hurt" guy(girl?).
Main Sweeper and threat to rain/sand teams.
Cockwaffle the Venasaur
Gender: Male
Item: Life orb
Ability: Chlorophyll
Moves
Giga Drain
Sludge Bomb
Hidden Power Fire
Growth
Ev's 252 Sp. Attack, 220 Speed, 36 hp
Nature: Modest
Venasaur is my go to guy for numerous things. whether it be wrecking full teams, finishing up a battle, revenge killing, killing politoed or tyranitar, killing sweepers, you name it, if it involves killing, venasaur is good at it. the ev's are so he can get up to 500 even speed which i figured could outrun just about anything without +2 speed and so he has (some) bulk with hp. the hidden power type is for steel types who i wouldnt normally be able to beat.
Most Wall like/ cover for venasaur
Slim Jim the Snorlax
Gender: Female
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Thick Fat
Moves
Body Slam
Fire Punch
Earthquake
Selfdestruct
Ev's 252 Attack, 252 hp, 4 def
Nature: Adamant
Snorlax was originally just another attacker on my team without much use until i figured out he was perfect for Venasaur and salamence with his thick fat and his special bulk. now he was an good switch in for ice beams and people who use my fire against me. also if your wondering, seldestruct is an amazingly handy move for stopping special sweepers late game. snorlax can come in sponge a hit, sponge another then hit with an unexpected selfdestruct and eliminate the threat if there is no one else who can. last resort move for sure, but an effective one.
Jack of all (physical) trades
Donkeyface the Arcanine
Gender: male
Item: Sitrus Berry
Ability: Flash Fire
Moves
Flare Blitz
Wild Charge
Extremespeed
Close Combat
Ev's 252 Speed, 252 Attack
Nature: Adamant
Arcanine has no real role, he's kinda just there, but he still has a spot on the team because hes amazingly good at doing what i need, when i need. these things include sponging fire moves, then killing, using extremespeed, taking out gyarados, who can hurt at times etc. he does the small jobs that are necessary and he does them well. plain and simple. the sitrus berry is for using more flare blitz and wild charge because recoil hurts(i almost killed myself clicking flare blitz instead of close combat on a blissey).
and there you have it the team thats sweeping the nation in a fell swoop (not actually but it does win at least 75% of the time :3)
one main problem this team has is a way to get rid of dragon dance dragonite(say that ten times fast) so help with that and any other adjustments are more than welcome :3
