My game plan is to have Aero out with life orb to do some damage. If I expect a rock or electric attack (or aero dies) I'll take out Bronzong, hypnosis, set up stealth rock and trick room, then explode. Up next would be Tyranitar set up as a mixed sweeper to deal damage. When he dies, I would have Garchomp come in and set up swords dance using subs and sand veil to sweep up. Then I have Heatran as a revenge killer or something to absorb fire attacks and Empoleon toabsorb sleep or more importantly deal with walls, specifically bulky water kind.

It's been several month's hiatus on Pokemon and I'd like to get back into the competitive battling. Basically I'd like any of your suggestions on ways to improve this team and cover up weak points as best as possible. Thanks in advance.

So, you made a Trick Room team with a Jolly Max Speed Aerodactyl, a Jolly Max Speed Garchomp, near Max Speed Heatran, and 4 Speed EVs on your Special Tank?

What's the fucking point of having Bronzong there in the first place?

 

[option.iv]

It's not a full TR team. TR is just for TTar (Bronzong is going to explode anyway) and the SS is mainly for Garchomp. The TR could last what 1-3 turns for TTar depending on when I use Trick Room. Maybe I should change the topic title...

 

[Broken Loose]

Trick Room lasts 5 turns, broseph. Maybe you should go find out what it does before you do this sort of thing.

So, what? Did you expect Tyranitar to kill the entire enemy team in 3 turns, minus the one who died to Bronzong? You're just throwing a bunch of random sweepers together without considering who you're actually attempting to beat with each one. Aero --> Elec/Rock --> Bronzong assumes that you'll beat everything else with Aero, which, frankly, won't happen.


Oh, and 4/6 of your team is Slowbro weak.

Ok. Suppose Trick Room is down (which it may well be with one Pokemon with Trick Room), he needs something to still keep it's speed so his opponent can walk over this team. It's a standard premise to use fast Pokemon on a Trick Room team as "insurance".

 

[option.iv]

TR lasts 5 turns.
Bronzong uses Trick Room (1 turn), 4 turns after that.
I could go, Trick Room, Hypnosis, Stealth Rock, Explosion (leaving 1 TR turn for TTar)
Or I could go, Hypnosis, Stealth Rock, Trick Room, Explosion (leaving 3 TR turns for TTar

What good would a team of slow pokes do if bronzong is down and out after it exploded.

I really should've been more specific in my topic title.

edit: also, machamp can probably roll over my team now that I think about it.

While I understand and am aware of this, only 1 Pokémon on his team is actually going to be utilizing Trick Room, unless Bronzong doesn't explode like he said he was going to do immediately.

It really seems like a waste of a moveslot.
