RMT, and maybe then I can win for once?

[D3FAULT]

At a glance:

Pokemon:

Metagross @ Life Orb
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 152 HP/252 SpAtk/104 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Zen Headbutt
- Agility

My starter. Agility, and then wreck as many opposing PKMN as I can. It has taken an entire team out before.

Cresselia (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/108 Def/150 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Moonlight
- Psychic
- Thunder Wave

EVs make Cresselia DEADLY, in a wall-ish sort of way. Psychic for STAB. Ice Beam is really there as a filler I guess, although with all the Dragons running around, it doesn't hurt.

Umbreon (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP/129 Def/129 SDef
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Toxic
- Wish
- Baton Pass
- Confuse Ray

Another wall. Unlike Cresselia, this one doesn't attack at all though. It's slow w/ Baton Pass + Wish for a reason: It Wishes, takes the hit for the next turn, then safely Baton Passes to the next pkmn who will get half of its health back if it needs it, as well as getting in for free. Confuse Ray and Toxic are there if I want to have fun with my opponent... or if he's my last Pokemon left.

Donphan (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs:
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Ice Shard
- Knock Off

Rapid spinner, and Knock Off is REALLY annoying. I have him come in on Bronzong a lot to take away his Leftovers, and to remove the Rocks which he more-than-likely decided to put there.

Porygonz @ Leftovers
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Agility
- Tri Attack
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam

Special sweeper. He normally does some pretty sick things to the opposing team, with not many things being much faster than him after an Agility. Might stick a Life Orb on him.

Garchomp (F) @ Yache Berry
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Dragon Claw
- Fire Fang
- Earthquake

SDYacheChomp, or however you say that. A late-game physical sweeper... that sweeps.. a lot.

And: Team Weaknesses/Resistances by Type

 

[Corrupted]

Big problems on both sides of the attacking spectrum. I hope to address these problems with a few changes.

First, having Donphan Vappy and Swampert isn't a good idea. Donphan and swampert dont have reliable recovery and do about the same thing.
No special walling going on, vappy is the only one that came come in on heatran. And even she is going to get worn down.

I think changing Donphan and Swampert to gliscor and WishBliss would really help you. Standard sets would do fine.

Magmortar doesn't do too well in OU. I think Heatran in this place would do the trick. As you lack a steel and he packs some handy resists.
I would make this a ScarfTran, as this team lacks speed and explosion is good for Blissey-killing, something your team also lacks. Fire Blast / Earth Power / HP Ice / Explosion would do fine.

Ambipom really isnt doing anything for thing team. I think sleep support would be really helpful. Life Orb Gengar with hypnosis would do the trick.
HP Ice isnt a necessarity as heatran would revenge kill dragons just fine.

Electivire is meh, but if he does it for you, stick with it. You might have trouble predicting a electric type move as most people just tend to batter it with powerful no SE attacks. Predict wrong and you might loose your Main physical sweeper.

Give Vappy HP Electric as Gliscor counters dragons just fine.

Just to recap my suggestions:

Gengar @ Life Orb
Timid 4 HP / 252 SpAtk / 252 Spe
Hypnosis
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Focus blast


Heatran @ Choice Scarf
Modest 4 HP / 252 SpAtk / 252 Spe
Fire Blast
Earth Power
HP Ice
Explosion


Gliscor @ Leftovers
Impish 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Earthquake
Ice Fang
Stealth Rock
Roost


Blissey @ Leftovers
Calm 252 Def / 40 SpAtk / 216 SpDef
Toxic
Wish
Flamethrower
Protect


Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Bold 188 HP / 252 Def / 68 SpAtk
Surf
HP Electric
Wish
Protect

Sorry about trying to change so much, but I thick this would do alot better.

Good Luck with the team!

Holy crap, lol. xD

Okay, I'll start from the top:

Big problems on both sides of the attacking spectrum. I hope to address these problems with a few changes.

First, having Donphan Vappy and Swampert isn't a good idea. Donphan and swampert dont have reliable recovery and do about the same thing. No special walling going on, vappy is the only one that came come in on heatran. And even she is going to get worn down.

Well, I want to try out Donphan. I think he has real potential with his defense. However, Swampert and Vaporeon can leave the team.

I think changing Donphan and Swampert to gliscor and WishBliss would really help you. Standard sets would do fine.

I will change Swampert to Gliscor. I've never used a Gliscor before, but always wanted to.

Magmortar doesn't do too well in OU. I think Heatran in this place would do the trick. As you lack a steel and he packs some handy resists.
I would make this a ScarfTran, as this team lacks speed and explosion is good for Blissey-killing, something your team also lacks. Fire Blast / Earth Power / HP Ice / Explosion would do fine.

I dislike Heatran for some reason. I don't really know why.

Ambipom really isnt doing anything for thing team. I think sleep support would be really helpful. Life Orb Gengar with hypnosis would do the trick. HP Ice isnt a necessarity as heatran would revenge kill dragons just fine.

With sleep clauses, I find having Hypnosis and such pretty useless. Plus I want to try Ambipom out.

Electivire is meh, but if he does it for you, stick with it. You might have trouble predicting a electric type move as most people just tend to batter it with powerful no SE attacks. Predict wrong and you might loose your Main physical sweeper.

I'll replace Electivire I guess. My predicting is pretty bad, and there are definitely better physical sweepers out there.

Sorry about trying to change so much, but I thick this would do alot better.

Good Luck with the team!

It's cool. Like I said, my team building isn't good. This is what I posted for. :P

 

[Jigo]

use life orb on ambipom for sure.

 

[D3FAULT]

use life orb on ambipom for sure.

I just completely changed my team.. I don't even use Ambipomin the new one, even though I really wanted to. I'll use him in another team I want to make though.

 

[D3FAULT]

Bump.. I changed the team from what it was originally, so that's why Corrupted's comment seems to make no sense.

 

[Dormin]

Hmmmmm I don't think DDtar is a good starter....ever. The reason DDtar is dangerous is because he can easily sweep late-game--from the get-go your just going to be countered. Focus Sash on a bulky poke like t-tar is usually not a good idea as well.

Porygon-z and Metagross seem to be fulfilling the same role, and Azelf covers the special attacking side of the spectrum rather well.

I would probably replace your lead with Metagross with either a Choice Band or a Scarf--with Bullet Punch it makes a decent lead against stuff like Gengar and opposing Azelf.

That being said, I'll say again that Porygon-z and Azelf are fulfilling the same role, as is Tyranitar and Garchomp. Personally, I would consider replacements for Porygon and Tyranitar, preferably for supporting pokes. If you still want Sandstream then Hippowdon could be a bulky option which also sets up rocks, or you could stay with T-tar but use the boah or mixed sets. In place of Porygon I would probably slap a Celebi to help your somewhat Gyarados weakness. Hippowdon, Dusknoir, and Celebi form a relatively solid defensive core--it will only have trouble with maybe Gengar/Azelf, whom CB/Scarf Metagross takes care of.

Infernape might become a problem as well, but Azelf can counter it (though it isn't a safe switch in) or you could Scarf your Garchomp to make an easy fix.

I think I'll just remove him then. He has been useful that way, but I'm sure there could be something better.

I despise Choice items. =( I end up switching a lot (too much) when I use them. People normally switch in pokes that are resistant to whatever I just used, or something that Metagross (or whoever the Pokemon may be) obviously doesn't match up well against. They either get a free hit on the next Pokemon, or set up.

I will replace Tyranitar with a Celebi then. However, I prefer Porygon-Z over Azelf. I can't tell you how much Agility + Porygon's high SpAtk has helped near the end of a battle. Without Sand Storm from my Tyranitar, I can probably afford to stick a Life Orb on it too. And I don't care for Hippowdon. Do you think a Donphan could work there instead?

Infernape might become a problem as well, but Azelf can counter it (though it isn't a safe switch in) or you could Scarf your Garchomp to make an easy fix.

Again, being locked in to one move sucks for me. I've encountered Infernapes before, and I don't remember them being a problem.

I think I'll try some of your ideas on Shoddy and see how it goes. If it works well there, I'll probably change my D/P team up a bit to match it.

 

[Dormin]

Well, Choice items rely of course on prediction, but if your uncomfortable with it that's fine.

I think Azelf's speed should be enough late-game, but agility porygon has some originality to it.

Donphan could work if you don't want that sandstream like you said.

Alright, so:

Replace Tyranitar with Celebi
Make Metagross new starter
Replace Azelf with Donphan

Should I keep Metagross as an Agiligross even as starter?
