I need to use somebody to rate my team.​





Swampert.jpg

Swampert @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 Def
Nature: relaxed (+Def, -Spd)

Earthquake

Ice Beam

Roar

Stealth Rock

This is my lead pokemon. Earthquake & Stealth Rock are both must for Swampert. Ice Beam keeps salamence and latias at bay.Roar is good for scouting out threats to keep salamence and magnezone from sweeping.
Its Ev set just provides the best bulky lead.​


380_Latias.jpg

Latias @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spa/252 Spe
Nature: Timid (+Spe, -Atk)

Calm Mind

With a choice scarf anything is possible! Latias is naturally very fast with Choice Scarf it can outspeeding every Pokémon thats not boosted in OU. Latias can be used to revenge kill opposingSalamence, take care of other Scarfers, and generally cover a my team's weakness to fast sweepers. My Favorite move is trick because it can shutdown walls.​

Jirachi.jpg

Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs:80 HP/252 Atk/176 Spe
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -Spa)

Iron Head

Fire Punch

PsychicIC_Big.png
Trick

bugicbig.png
U-turn

Synergy. Fire Punch is a good move for killing sword dancing scizor, with jirachi's ability Fire Punch has a 20% of burning a foe.Iron Head provides Jirachi with a stab able to kill tyranitar. Trick is good for shutting down walls. And for unfavorable match-ups U-Turn is key.​

Gengar.png

Gengar @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Def/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spe, -Atk)
fightingicbig.png
Focus Blast

Thunderbolt

Explosion

Shadow Ball

Magnezone makes for a great partner. Not only can it trap and take down Scizor, it can also utilize Substitute and Charge Bream to kill traped steels (Metagross, Jirachi, etc.). Shadow Ball is a great stab move for gengar. Focus Blast kills Tyranitar. It also does a also puts a dent into snorlax and Heatran. Thunderbolt is good for taking down gyarados and suicune.​

Magnezone.jpg

Magnezone @Salac Berry
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 28 HP/228 Spa/252 Spe
Nature: Modest (+Spa, -Atk)
electricicbig.png
Charge Beam

Hidden Power/Ice

Substitute

Thunderbolt

Magnezone is the number one player on my team. It gets an equal chance of sweeping as Salamence does. With the classic Sub Salac set and the awesome type coverage of Ice and Electric this thing is incredible. What makes it better than other pokemon that have the Sub Salac set is the ability "Magnet Pull" which lets it trap Choiced Steels (scizor) and set up and the move "Charge Beam" which lets it power up its Sp. Atk readying it for a sweep. Many people may predict that magnezone as the "Steel Killer" set or the "Scarf" set, so this Magnezone does have an element of surprise.​

373_Salamence.jpg

Salamence @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe/4 HP
Nature: Naive (+Spe, -Spd)
dragonicbig.png
Outrage

groundicbig.png
Earthquake

fireicbig.png
Fire Blast

dragonicbig.png
Dragon Dance

Dragon Dancing then outraging make salamence deadly. Salamence gets a boost from dd and with life orb it becomes pretty beastly. I also tried to get salamence to be as fast as possible with a naive nature and 252 speed ev. Fire Blast is good for taking down grass types and put a dent into trickzong.​
 
A well-timed scarfed Rotom-h can seriously hurt this team as it can revenge kill all of your Pokemon bar Salamence who will take a bunch after residual damage and thunder bolt. A possible solution to this will be changing your current latias set to a calm minder.

Latias @ Lefties
Timid | 4 hp / 252 sp.atk / 252 spe
Calm mind, recover, dragon pulse,

With this set you're able to set up on rotom's or even stall it out. It gives you a second calm mind sweeper as well.

The reason I suggested this is because whatever latias is supposed to revenge kill, Scizor can already do.

Without Trick, stall can be a pain. A solution to this will be to change your current Salamence set.

Salamence @ Life orb
Naive | 232 atk / 24 sp.atk / 252 spe
Fire blast, dragon dance, earthquake, outrage / dragon claw

Your average DD mence. With the given attacks, even skarmory doesn't stand a chance. You shouldn't really use a lum berry on Salamence because by the time it comes out, those stat users should already be down. All of your members do an excelent job into getting mence to sweep.


Great time, bog standard :)
 
Hi there!

This team looks extremely well made. You have every major threat covered in some way. One thing I think can be changed however is removing Protect on Gengar. I know this is a big game changer, but a Dragon Dance Tyranitar or Swords Dance Scizor late in the game can really tear you apart (especially if Scizor is faster than Magnezone). Good prediction, knowing your opponent well and deciphering his/her moves will easily take the place of Protect. (Protect also won't save you from Choice Scarf Tyranitar who is rising in usage). As for the 4th move, Explosion (alongside a Hasty nature) may serve your team far better. By weakening Blissey (or outright killing a damage one) you can then sweep with Magnezone or Latias later in the game. You may also want Draco Meteor on Latias over Dragon Pulse. Dragon Pulse is not powerful to one shot Pokemon such as Jolteon, Starmie, et cetera, when it may be difference between your Gyarados check surviving or not.

Good luck.
 
Actually, I think you should keep your scarf Latias. Trick-scarfing is an excellent way to support subcharge Magnezone (I can't believe you called that set "classic.") Latias is also an important answer to Bulky Gyarados. As there is a large overlap in roles, I think Scizor is the one to go. I actually think that a Choice Scarf Jirachi would fit well in its place; it provides the necessary dragon and ice resistances, and can trickscarf. It also deals with SD Scizor with fire punch and Ttar with iron head. I would suggest Iron head/Fire Punch/u-turn/trick.

I can't count how many times I see subcharge magnezone and MYSTICgar on the same team. This is totally counterproductive - the idea of MYSTICgar is to take out Scizor, but Magnezone simply sets up on Scizor. Edit: as Metanite says, take Protect off Gengar.

And calm mind latias should never have Draco Meteor.

It sounds like you know what your talking about. So, since the roles MYSTICgar counters the role of SubSalac magnezone, which one should I change the moveset off?
 
I got a message saying you wanted a team rated so here it is.

You might want to change Latias' nature into Timid to outspeed stuff because you're not going to have enough speed to outspeed Salamence and other dragon types with base 100 speed.

it looks like you fixed all the changes on your team.

Good luck
 
I'm thinking LO starmie with Thunderbolt/Ice Beam/Surf or Hydro Pump/Recover or Grass Knot if you choose grass knot then i reccomend switching the item to expert belt or leftovers
