Let's try this again (OU Team)

Well, my first RMT didn't go so well, so let's have a lot more info on this one.

My team at a glance:

Lead Pokemon/Revenge Killer/Fast Special Sweeper


dpmfa157.png

Nature: Timid
Ability: Blaze
Item: Choice Scarf
IVs:31/X/31/30/31/31
EVs: 252 SA/252 S/ 6 ?
HP Electric 70
Moves:

~Eruption
~Flamethrower
~Focus Blast
~ HP Electric

I personally like this lead, it makes most Pokemon switch to a Fire resistant Pokemon, and even then Eruption will put a sizeable dent in them. If they switch to Heatran and absorb Eruption I can go to Blissey. HP Electric takes care of Gyarados, something I didn't have on my old team. Focus Blast will almost OHKO Heatran, OHKOing with SR Damage. (I think, can someone check?)


Physical Wall/Rapid Spinner/SR support

dpmfsa205.png

Nature: Relaxed
Ability: Sturdy
Item: Leftovers
Ivs: 31/31/31/31/31/31
Evs: 252 HP/112 Atk/144 Def
Moves:

~Stealth Rock
~Rapid Spin
~Earthquake
~Explosion

My Rapid Spin and Stealth Rock support, a great Scizor counter. If you can predict well enough, you can EQ on a Heatran switch. It can usually survive a Special hit, but only one. Very good for Exploding on Pokemon that have to many Stat boosts.


Special Wall/Support

dpffa242.png

Nature: Bold
Ability: Natural Cure
Item: Leftovers
IVs: 29/x/31/31/30/30
EVs:252 HP/252 DEF
Moves:

~Aromatherapy
~Thunder Wave
~Seismic Toss
~Softboiled

Perfect for switching into special attacks, can also take a Physical hit or two as long as they aren't SE. Thunder Wave is a huge help to my team, making Pokemon that some can't outrun slower, and there's always the nice times when they're fully paralyzed. Aromatherapy helps with Toxic Spikes when I can't Rapid Spin, also good for when my Physical attackers get burned. Softboiled is basic Recovery, Seismic Toss is basic damage.


Frail Physical Attacker

dpffsa025.png

Nature:Jolly
Ability: Static
Light Ball
IVs: 15/31/30/31/27/31
EVs: 252 A/252 S/ 6 HP
Moves:

~Encore
~Fake Out
~Volt Tackle
~Brick Break


Yeah, I know Jolteon or Vire might do better, but I don't have them for now. Fake Out is great Priority, sometimes doing a lot of damage on weaker Pokemon, also good for picking off low HP Pokemon. Volt Tackle is STAB, even though the recoil can kill Pika, especially if it's against Drifblim or Blissey. Brick Break OHKO's T-tar every time, also almost OHKOing Blissey. Now Encore is tricky, it needs good prediction. Get your opponent's Pokemon stuck on a Status, Stat Boost or recovery move and force a switch. VERY good against Rest-Talkers.



Special/Physical Wall/ Support/ Special Attacker
dpffsa380.png

Nature: Bold
Ability: Levitate
Item: Leftovers
IVs:24/x/27/31/24/28
EVs: 252 S/ ?/? (Lol, I need someone to check, I forgot them =P)
Moves:

~Dragon Pulse
~Surf
~Toxic
~Healing Wish

Dragon Pulse is STAB, not Draco Meteor. Draco Meteor makes you have to switch, and I would like to be able to finish the job without switching if I don't KO. Surf helps with the one major weakness I have, Mix Ape. Toxic is Status Support, very helpful against Blissey. Now, you might say Healing Wish is a stupid last move, I disagree. When your opponent has a major weakness against one of your Pokemon, they try to kill it in any way possible, often losing a Pokemon in the process. Now, Healing Wish gives full recovery to ANY of your Pokemon, thought it's at the price of Latias. I know some people might say "Use Wish Baton Pass", but I'd rather do this.


Physical Attacker

dpmfa130.png

Nature: Adamant
Ability: Intimidate
Item: Life Orb
IVs: 31/31/31/x/31/31
EVs: 216 HP/16 Atk/176 Def/100 S
Moves:

~Dragon Dance
~Taunt
~Waterfall
~Stone Edge

The simplest Pokemon on my team.=P Dragon Dance gets Speed and Attack boost when they need to switch, Taunt stops them from all kinds of nasty things, like Burning, Paralyzing, Subbing, Wishing, Stat Boosting, etc. Waterfall is STAB, with the added chance at Flinching. Stone Edge counters other Gyaras and Dragons, as well as just being a powerful move.

Problem Pokemon:
Mixed Ape with Ice Punch
Physical Ape with Shadow Claw or U-turn
Gengar
Latias

Well, that's it. Please feel free to post with ideas, suggestions or comments.

But what I really need is another Physical attacker, I'd use Vire I guess, but as I said, I DO NOT have a vire or jolteon, Pika is there until I get one.
 
You mentioned a Gengar weakness, and I see one through the Sub-Punching variant. I would change Blissey to a Wish Bliss, giving you some form of hitting Gengar (Flamethrower/Toxic) and breaking the sub. You might wanna get the Ev's straightened out too lol. Here's your Typhlosion- Heatran Focus Blast damage calc:

Damage: 68.52% - 80.86% against a typical 6/0/0 Heatran, not an OHKO even with SR damage.

Good luck!
 
If you give Heatran a Flash Fire boost with Eruption, Blissey is probably going down with the set you're running; it's not specially defensive enough and can't PP stall with Wish-Protect.

Your lead doesn't really seem to be a lead, actually. It neither sets up rocks or stops your opponent from doing so. You'd be better off running it as a revenge killer in Pikachu's slot, and switching something like Aerodactyl (or maybe even Forretress) in as your lead.

Healing Wish isn't doing enough on Latias; you only have one set-up sweeper. I would either run normal Wish or add something like DDMence or SDLuke/Scizor alongside Gyarados. That way, you can weaken/kill the main counters with your first two sweepers, and then Healing Wish crushes them. Another thing you might consider is Cresselia over Latias. It bulks up your physical defense a bit more, and gives you the same sort of moveset options (Psychic/TBolt-Ice Beam as attacks).
 
If you don't have an Electivire, go to the WiFi forums and ask for a mixed set. I am absolutely positive someone will give you one. You seem to be lacking in synergy. I would consider re editing this team. Look up your movesets here. Also, you could sign up for Smogon's tutor program if you want some hardcore advice from the pros. Its a great way to learn.

Good Luck, Hope I helped.
 
Thanks everyone, I'll address this one at a time.

This is a Wifi team, I can't get Wishbliss unless I hack, and I do not like hacking. As for Heatran, I guess I've been playing against a lot of Naivetrans.=P Toxic doesn't affect Gengar, he's a Poison type, so if anything, I'd change other team pokemon.

If you give Heatran a Flash Fire boost with Eruption, Blissey is probably going down with the set you're running; it's not specially defensive enough and can't PP stall with Wish-Protect.

Thunder Wave is an excellent way to avoid losing to Heatran, even when they get the FF boost.

As for Typhlosion lead, I've tried Forretress, it hasn't worked for me. Typhlosion with a Scarf KO's Sash Azelf after it sets up rocks, scares off lead Metagross, and before I changed the HP, (it was HP Grass) easily took out Swampert. If I change my lead, I'd rather have something like Crobat there, something to resist Fighting.

Cresselia is definitely an option, I need to get one, but I'm going to replace Latias with it. BTW, I need an Electric type, so Pika (soon to be Vire) is going to stay.)

If you don't have an Electivire, go to the WiFi forums and ask for a mixed set. I am absolutely positive someone will give you one. You seem to be lacking in synergy. I would consider re editing this team. Look up your movesets here. Also, you could sign up for Smogon's tutor program if you want some hardcore advice from the pros. Its a great way to learn.

Good Luck, Hope I helped.

I'm trying to find a good vire, just haven't found one I want yet.

Synergy, I don't think I'm lacking to much, but I need to change my team before I can really address that problem.=P

I'm definitely going to sign up for the tutor program, I'm trying to be more hardcore, but I really haven't played anyone good (there are 2 exceptions), this team has 2-3 0d almost every team I've played.

Ok, I'm going to be getting an Electivire, so what do you guys think of these changes.

-Pikachu :(
+Rash/Mild HP Grass Electivire
