Hi. I'm new to the Smogon community and I wanted to see if I could get any help perfecting a team I have been working on. I appreciate any advice.
Preview:
1.Archeops @Focus Sash
Jolly
252 Spe/252 Atk/4 HP
Stone Edge
Aerial Ace
Taunt
Knock Off
Archeops is an anit-lead. Taunt is there for obvious reasons. Knock Off is to get rid of any Scarfs or Leftovers the opposing Pokemon may have. Stone Edge and Aerial Ace are there so that Archeops can use his monstruous Attack stat to destroy common leads like Ninetales.
2.Clefable @Leftovers
Calm
252 SpD/252 HP/4 SpA
Calm Mind
Wish
Stealth Rock
Stored Power
Clefable is my special wall. It is the Stealth Rock user on my team. Also it can give Wish support to the rest of my team or to heal itself. After a couple of Calm Minds it is even more bulky, plus it can do tons of damage with Stored Power. It has the Magic Guard ability which lets it get a free switch in to status moves like Toxic or Whimsicott's Leech Seed.
3.Carracosta @Rindo Berry
Jolly
252 Spe/252 Atk/4 HP
Shell Smash
Stone Edge
Aqua Tail
Earthquake
Carracosta is a monster after a Sheel Smash boost. With a Jolly nature it is able to clear the 350 Speed mark, outspeeding most non-scarfed Pokemon. With Rindo Berry and Solid Rock combined it can take atleast one Grass attack and hit back with STAB Stone Edge. Aqua Tail takes care of Ground types and is STABed. Finally, Earthquake is there for coverage or to take out the occasional Electric type.
4.Hydreigon @Life Orb
Modest
252 SpA/252 Spe/4 HP
Dragon Pulse
Dark Pulse
Flamethrower
Hidden Power(Psychic)
Hydreigon is my special, Life Orb sweeper. It has Dragon and Dark Pulse for STAB. Flamethrower takes care of Bugs and Steels while Hidden Power Psychic takes care of any Fighting types. I gave it a Modest nature for more attacking power in exchange for speed.
5.Cofagrigusk @Custap Berry
Bold
252 Def/212 HP/44 SpA
Shadow Ball
Will-O-Wisp
Toxic
Destiny Bond
Cofagrigusk is there mainly as a counter to Fighting types but is also a very good physical wall. It has Will-O-Wisp to cripple Sweepers and Toxic to cripple Walls. Thanks to a little investment in SpA, Shadow Ball can do decent damage when needed. Finally, it has a Custap Berry which goes with Destiny Bond to knock out one more Pokemon before it goes down.
6.Roserade @Choice Scarf
Timid
252 Spe/252 SpA/4 HP
Sludge Bomb
Energy Ball
Hidden Power(Ice)
Extrasensory
Roserade is a revenge-killer. Sludge Bomb is solely for STAB and to get rid of Whimsicott. Energy Ball is STABed and has great coverage with Hidden Power Ice. Extrasensory is there to possibly take out Fightings like Conkeldurr. Lastly, it has Poison Point to possibly poison the opponent if they try to take it out with a priority move such as Mach Punch.
Well that's my team. Please offer any advice that you have. As I said I want to improve this team any way I can. Thanks!
