Need To Know My Weaks/Item Clause

Sunsatzu

okay, my friends and i play BL/OU and Item Clause(important). i started with CharmBliss because i wanted to use Blissey and didnt have access to Emerald, so im using pokes i both like in general, and who benefit from a lot of switches. i really need to know what i should be wary of, but i think i have most pokes covered. EV's are done to what they 'should' be; although i have them rearranged so to accomodate for a 29 IV or whatever.


Uxie @Sitrus Berry
Bold
252 HP / 252 DEF / 4 SPE
- Thunderbolt
- Yawn
- Stealth Rock
- U-Turn

i have no clue what to use for Uxie's Item, but other than that, typical Uxie, i use Thunderbolt both for Gyara leads, and so i have 'BoltBeam', with my CharmBliss


Blissey @Leftovers
Bold
148 HP / 252 DEF / 108 SPA
- Charm
- Light Screen
- Ice Beam
- Softboiled

i use CharmBliss mostly because its the only set i have access to, and its like blasphemy not to use a Blissey


Breloom @Toxic Orb
Adamant
44 HP / 252 ATK / 212 SPE
- Spore
- Substitute
- Leech Seed
- Focus Punch

i absolutely adore Breloom and this set! i will not consider a team without him, so death to all you weird Heracross/Lucario/Infenape lovers, Brelom is the only 'fighter' for me. =p


Skarmory @Shed Shell
Impish
252 HP / 252 DEF / 4 SPE
- Brave Bird
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
- Roost

again typical, i figured that if i want stall while complying with Item Clause, Skarm would be a sure fit


Starmie @Choice Specs
Modest
4 HP / 252 SPA / 252 SPE
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- HP Fighting

SkarmBliss and Starmie are supposed to 'counter everything', right? i chose HP Fighting because i was thinking TTar, Snorlax, and coverage so i could use Expert Belt in-game. who else can be choiced and boast 'immunity' from status?


Garchomp @Choice Scarf
Lonely
252 ATK / 4 SPD / 252 SPE
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Crunch
- Fire Blast

i was thinking who my 6th poke shold be, i knew i was lacking a earthquake, a fire move, physical power, and a speedy Revenge killer. Heatran wasnt fast enough, or physical, so Garchomp it was. usually my group doesnt use OU legendarys and dragons, but i couldnt think of a better poke to fill the spot

i believe i have most roles filled, but am unsure as i am nowhere near 'pro-level' lol. all critique is appreciated, thank you very much
 
OMG Skarmory and blissey on the same team. Did you make that up all by your self? If Starmie is dead You can expect to get swept by a Mixape.
 
lets see, would i rather be original, or use what is already known to work?
on mixape, both Starmie & Garchomp would both have to be dead, and i dont see Uxie dying before being able to Yawn

You must not have much experience if you think skarmbliss works. Any Mixed sweeper can take it out without a problem, Mainly mix ape and Mix Cario.

I dislike this as a lead because gengar beats it too easily. Switch it for Starmie.


Blissey @Leftovers
Bold
148 HP / 252 DEF / 108 SPA
- Charm
- Light Screen
- Ice Beam
- Softboiled

...No...This will not work in todays metagame


Breloom @Toxic Orb
Adamant
44 HP / 252 ATK / 212 SPE
- Spore
- Substitute
- Leech Seed
- Focus Punch

Use Stone Edge over Leech Seed or Seed Bomb and Mach Punch.


Skarmory @Shed Shell
Impish
252 HP / 252 DEF / 4 SPE
- Brave Bird
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
- Roost

standard...


Starmie @Choice Specs
Modest
4 HP / 252 SPA / 252 SPE
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- HP Fighting

Grass Knot or Psychic depending on your needs. HP Fighting is useless.


Garchomp @Choice Scarf
Lonely
252 ATK / 4 SPD / 252 SPE
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Crunch
- Fire Blast

Stone Edge over Crunch

Actually I dislike this team because it lacks synergy and uses outdated strategies. I think you will be swept away in todays metagame.
 
On Starmie, if you went with Hydro Pump there'd be no need for HP Fight as it OHKOs T-Tar and friends. This'd allow you to use a move better suited for Starmie. I've been using alot of Starmie recently and've noticed that the most common switch in is Celebi. HP Bug sounds situational but it will OHKO Celebi which doesn't really fear anything on your team. If that's not a problem (Ice Beam 2 OHKOs) then you'd be better off with the likes of Psychic for foolish Fighting Pogeymans. Basically, the current HP is moveslot waste and Grass Knot isn't gonna kill anything Surf won't (Surf does >50% on incoming Swampert and KO next turn).
Good luck!
 
Forgot... that Blissey won't get too far and I don't recommend Fire Blast on Chomp. It fails to KO Skarm and you'll just be roared away anyway.
 
Everybody needs to lighten up a little. If this is between Sunsatzu and his friends, then there's no need to get all "IT FAILS TEH METAGAMEZ LOLZ" on him.

My experience with subseed Breloom is terrible. By that, I mean it NEEDS another move. If Breloom is all by it's lonesome and your opponent has a ghost, good game to you, sir. Get rid of Leech Seed and switch to Seed Bomb, or find another reliable sleep-inducer and trash Spore.

This is an off-strategy, but why not experiment with Shell Bell on Starmie? That way, you can have a rapid spinner and a leftovers-wannabe item to heal Starmie. I don't recommend it, but it's something you can experiment with.

Your team isn't terrible defensively, but mixed attackers will have a field day. Maybe Cresselia deserves a shot over Blissey? Once again, another experimental suggestion.
