Dude I really need to ask you to use better english, it's really quite annoying to read your posts.
Also, the team has changed entirely, i suggest you give it another read
i think you need more investment in speed, expecially for hitmontop: he is very common as lead, and it may happen that you must outspeed another hitmontop with mach punch or another pokemon with a priority attack, so i suggest you max speed for this pkmn. Thundurus is helpful for your team with prankster and taunt/thunder wave, also in the role of zapdos. For a banded arcanine you can try extremespeed: with low speed a +2 priority attack with 80 BP + CB is always good, or you can try a mixed set with heat wave and earthquake/rock slide (i don't know if he learns these two). I'm not pretty sure about heracross, he's good but i think you can find something better for his role, like machamp (conkelldur is too slow). furthermore your team is outspeeded out of tailwind and this can be a risk. you can try a pokemon with the choice scarf, like a late-game sweeper such a hydreigon, or choice specs latios or also the same arcanine with 252 speed and the choice scarf. suicune and zapdos can also be stopped by taunt (prankster thundurus/tornadus/sableye) and you risk to be really vulnerable and slow, in this situation your bulk helps a lot.
Do you not realize that this is a bulky team? Which revolves around tailwind, doubling my speed so i dont need to worry about speed
I'm actually changing the team a lot, the changes should probably be applied at either around 3:30 today or about 8am tomorrow.
I'm going to the pleasanton, ca regionals. I believe it's on April 21st. I plan to have my team out of the planning stage by January/February if I can keep on track. Hopefully then I can start making some pokemon and hopefully ask some friends for some RNGed Pokemon.
Oh that'd be REALLY cool, but I don't know my team set in stone yet, so I probably won't start asking till January
How good are you at RNG? Is there anywhere I can find credited work? Cause I don't want to risk anything being hacked
scarf hydreigon is outspeeded by another scarfed pokemon such as latios and garchomp, it's enought easy to battle against them. A good check for these scarfed pkmns is weavile: priority ice shard OHKOes garchomp and does serious damages to latios. weavile is also the fastest user of fake out. he can get ice punch, ice shard and fake out in the 4th gen. Jellicent is a good replacement for gastrodon, because water absorb with surf is a great combo and water spout takes care of infernape, just watch out for toxicroak's dark gem'd sucker punch
I'll make those changes pronto
But if i replace hydreigon with Weavile, i dont have a surf user, should i run surf on golduck then?
you can also replace ambipom with weavile and keep hydreigon.
You can run surf on golduck too or insert a pokemon that can use it as well like kingdra, that is also useful against rain teams.
With the minimal amounts of comments on this RMT, my team has been just sort of going through hourly changes based on what I see on PO, so everyday it definetly changes a lot. Like yesterday i went from golduck to lickilicky to abomasnow to tyranitar back to spec golduck. So my RMT isn't really that accurate. I think maybe I should do a lot more testing before updating, I might even just make a new RMT post all together.
PO is great to battle on, but at the same time its bad. Because you're not battling that many different people you make irrational changes pretty easily. Like I went from this team which evolved into a gravity based team which is no evolved into a TR team, so I'm just going to make a new RMT for a Trick Room team.
