[Captin Charisma]

This is My First team ever and i think its good but I need Ratings of course and no one can Say about his team that is good or something Thats why I need other people's Opinion:naughty:

@Leftovers

Ability: Torrent
Nature: Relaxed
252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
~ Stealth Rock
~ Earthquake
~ Ice Beam
~ Roar
Stealth Rock The most of the leads have this Move because it Support the team so why dont I have it?.Earthquake Is the Main Stab move Which is Pretty Good against Metagross Infernape Heatren Jirachi Etc.Ice Beam Is for Salamance Flygon Gliscor and others that Resist Earthquake.Roar is For phazing The pokemons that i cannot Handle them.

@Life Orb

Ability: Pressure
Nature: Jolly
40 HP / 252 Atk / 216 Spe
~ Swords Dance
~ Night Slash
~ Ice Shard
~ Low Kick
Sword Dance Is Pretty Good With it speed Using it once Will give me 678 Atk which KOes Almost Everything In OU.Night Slash Is my main STAB Its Pretty Awesome Against Cressila Gengar Azelf and others.I prefer Ice Shard over Ice punch Cause A +2 Ice Shard Would KO Azelf Aerodayctl And of course Gliscor.Low Kick lets Weavile handle Steel-types and Tyranitar.

@Leftovers
Ability: Technician
Nature: Adamant
200 HP / 252 Atk / 56 Spe
~ Swords Dance
~ Bullet Punch
~ Superpower
~ Roost
I dont Really like Choice Items thats why I've Selected this Set.Swords Dance is for gaining More Power For The Stab Move and SuperPower.Bullet Punch Becomes At 120 BP after STAB and Technician With The priority It Make The Best Steel Move That Scizor Have It KO's Weavile Mamoswine And Faster Frail Pokemon.Superpower OHKO Heatren Magnezone Which Are One of the Most Common Switches To Scizor.Roost Is for Healing Scizor If I felt That Im Dieing

@Life Orb

Ability: Blaze
Nature: Naive
64 Atk / 252 SpA / 192 Spe
~ Nasty Plot
~ Fire Blast
~ Close Combat
~ Grass knot
NP Infernape The Best Set That He haves In my opinion.Nasty Plot Is To boost My Fire Blast And Grass Knot.Fire Blast OHKO Most of the Grass Types Steel Types bug Types Like Celebi Tangrowth Shaymin Scizor Metagross Bronzong Jirachi.Close Combat Is For The Switch in Pokemons That resist Fire Blast Like Heatren Tyranitar Blissey And Snorlax.Grass Knot Is The Best Choice To hit The Un-specially defense Milotic Slowbro Suicune and Have a Chance To OHKO Gyarados.

@Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
Nature: Mild
112 Atk / 196 SpA / 200 Spe
~ Superpower
~ Draco Meteor
~ Flame Thrower
~ Roost
I dont Really like Salamance Thats why I Chose Dragonite Over Him and Because it Have Superpower.Superpower With 120 BP Which Will always OHKO a Heatren Tyranitar Blissey Unless they're running Def And it Also helps against Other Steel Type That Resist Draco Meteor.Draco Meteor Is The Main STAB Move And the only one too It OHKO Salamance Other Dragonites Flygon's And Pokemon That Dont resist it.Flame Thrower Is For Metagross Jirachi And Bronzong Because Superpower Hits them Normal.Roost is for Healing The Lost HP from Life Orb or Damages.

@Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Timid
4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Shadow Ball
~ Thunderbolt
~ Focus Blast
~ HP Fire

Shadow Ball Is My main STAB attack It KO's Modest Gengar Un-Specially defese Dusknoir Mismagius And All Rotom Forms And Most Of the Slow Psychic Types.Thunderbolt Is for Gyarados Vaporeon And Suicune.Focus Blast Is for Steel Dark Ice types like Tyranitar And of course Heatren.HP Fire is Good Against Grass Types And bug Types like Scizor Vensaur Celebi etc.

I'm kind of new, but i can already tell that there are too many Life Orbs. I recommend on Gengar at least a choice scarf/focus sash/lum berry. Swampert, i usually put Hydro Pump on. Alot of power plus stab. I prefer power over accuracy if ya couldn't tell.

 

[Blackhawk11]

Hey, I'm gonna try to give you a few tips for your team.

First off, I don't like Weavile with your current team. It gets beat by Scizor, who is on 30% of teams these days, and you have no reliable way to get rid of Scizor. Using Weavile is a decent Pokemon in the metagame, provided you can take care of Scizor. Rotom-H and Magnezone are great Scizor counters. You can fit Rotom in place of Gengar. Since your team is extremely frail and offensive, I think giving yourself another Pokemon (in addition to Swampert) who can switch into threats with relative ease would be beneficial. Here's the standard set for you to try out:

Rotom-H @ Leftovers
Bold Nature
252 HP / 168 Def / 88 Spe
-Discharge
-Shadow Ball
-Overheat
-Will-o-wisp

Second, change Scizor to a Choice Band set. You already have several set up sweepers, so Scizor doesn't need to be running a Swords Dance set. Go with Bullet Punch | Superpower | U-turn | Quick Attack/Pursuit. CBScizor can rip through other teams midgame, leaving room for your other Pokemon to pick up the remaining pieces.

First of all, make you post readable, Rule 6 of RTMs. There are tons of missing periods, commas, misspellings, words that don’t need to be capitalized, and other general grammatical errors. It makes your post hard to read, and nobody wants to comment on a post they can’t read.

Swampert is good.

On Weavile, replace Life Orb with Expert Belt. You have too many Orbs which will do too much damage to yourself over a large amount of time.

On Scizor, replace Roost with Bug Bite. I would also take some HP EVs and put them into Speed but that isn’t mandatory.

NastyPlot Mixape is good, but I think SpeciallyBased MixApe is way stronger. Just replace Nasty Plot with Hidden Power Ice. It lets you still take out dragons when Weavile is gone. It will also let you attack Gliscor, who would otherwise KO you with Earthquake. EVs are good even if you make the change.

Dragonite and Gengar are good.

SpeciallyBased MixApe runs through your team like nothing else. He is guaranteed to OHKOs 4 out of 6 of team (Swampert, Weavile, Dragonite, and Scizor) members and has a chance to OHKO Genger if Gengar doesn’t KO him first. You need to replace a pokemon to fight him. Either switch Gengar for Starmie or switch Dragonite for Flygon. Here are suggestions for both.

Starmie @ Life Orb
Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Speed, 252 SpAtk, 4 HP
-Surf/Hydro Pump
-Ice Beam
-Grass Knot/Thunderbolt
-Psychic/Recover/Rapid Spin

It’s your preference for Surf or Hydro Pump. Ice beam is for Dragons. Grass Knot or Thunderbolt lets you hit Water types, personal preference as to which one but I prefer Grass Knot. In the last slot, it’s either a recovery move which I don’t recommend, Psychic for STAB, or Sapid Spin to keep off entry hazards. Starmie is faster that Ape and will OHKO it with Surf.

Flygon @ Choice Scarf
Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HP
-Earthquake
-Dragon Claw/Outrage
-Stone Edge
-Crunch

He will out speed and OHKO Ape with EQ. Scarf is Mandatory to this set because otherwise Ape with OHKO Flygon with HP Ice. Outrage is nice cause you can switch out when you become confused and it’s more powerful, but Dragon Claw lets you switch out all the time. Stone Edge is for Gyrados and Crunch is for any Psychic or Ghost type that comes in.

It’s your choice as to who to replace. I highly recommend adding a Scarf to this team so I would lean towards Flygon. You could even replace both if wanted, but definitely need to do one of the two. Overall, good start. Edit the changes into your current thread so that people can keep rating your current team. Hope this helps. Have fun battling!

I'm going to assume that your team is centralized on a Gengar sweep. Since it's your last Pokemon.

@Leftovers

Ability: Torrent
Nature: Relaxed
252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
~ Stealth Rock
~ Earthquake
~ Ice Beam
~ Roar
I see no problem with this. Mudkipz are best. :chaos:

@Life Orb

Ability: Pressure
Nature: Jolly
40 HP / 252 Atk / 216 Spe
~ Swords Dance
~ Night Slash
~ Ice Shard
~ Low Kick
Although Weavile is great for attracting Scizor, it lacks an effective way to kill it when Scizor enters the field. To help kill Scizor and clear a path for Gengar to sweep, I will suggest either a Bait Latias or Bait Tar over this, preferably Bait Latias.

Latias l Expert Belt
Timid l 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Draco Meteor l Hidden Power [Fire] l Surf l Thunderbolt

This Latias will help deal with Scizor for your Gengar as well as effectively scare off Gyara that might trouble your team. This Latias is effective in bluffing a Scarf, since its primary move is Draco Meteor, and will almost always lure in CB Scizor. HP Fire will always OHKO Scizor even at -2.

@ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
Nature: Adamant
200 HP / 252 Atk / 56 Spe
~ U-turn
~ Bullet Punch
~ Superpower
~ Pursuit / Quick Attack
Despite your hatred to Choice items, I feel that it is definitely needed on this team, preferably on Scizor. CB Scizor's main attack would be U-Turn to scout out for potential threats toward a Gengar sweep.

@Life Orb

Ability: Blaze
Nature: Naive
64 Atk / 252 SpA / 192 Spe
~ Nasty Plot
~ Fire Blast
~ Close Combat
~ Grass knot
Your team has a horrible against DDGyara, so for this I will suggest a variant of Rotom-c. Rotom-c can practically counter all those bulky waters that you mentioned, and also Vaporeon that you cannot. The set I would recommend would be a standard Rotom-c.

Rotom-c l Leftovers
Bold l 252 HP / 72 Def / 96 SpA / 88 Spe
Thunderbolt l Shadow Ball l Will-O-Wisp l Leaf Storm

All the moves are standard. WOW will help against Scizor that switched in on you, although the misses suck balls. You can also opt for a RhysTalk set if you feel that you need a status absorber more.

You don't really lose much with the loss of Ape, but you gain a cool Ground immunity, which is good. Opting for Rotom-c will make you more vulnerable to Pursuit users, however. But you can have either Scizor (to take advantage of TTar stuck on Pursuit switching out to utilize U-Turn) or Latias (to KO Scizor that are stupid enough to stay in on a "Scarf" Latias' HP Fire).

@Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
Nature: Mild
112 Atk / 196 SpA / 200 Spe
~ Superpower
~ Draco Meteor
~ Flame Thrower
~ Roost
Rule of Thumb: never ever allow Dragonite to be used similarly to a Salamence. You say Superpower KO'es Heatran. Well I say Mence can do the same with EQ, and will hurt Heatran more on average due to Superpower's stat decrease per usage. I will recommend a Mence anyways despite your hatred to it. But I will bet that you will ignore it and use Nite anyways because of your, in eloquent terms, beginning-player mindset.

Salamence l Life Orb
Naive l 16 Atk / 240 SpA / 252 Spe
Earthquake l Draco Meteor l Fire Blast l Dragon Claw/Outrage/Roost

This set practically does the same job as your Dragonite, but does it more efficiently. 'Nuff said.

@Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Timid
4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Shadow Ball
~ Thunderbolt
~ Focus Blast
~ HP Fire
Very sexy-looking sweeper

Overall Rate - this team has potential to be great, but there's one problem: you still play this team with a mindset not fit for competitive play. You practically built this team by choosing members you liked over members that could do the same roles as the members you chose, but with more efficiency. This team has trouble against DDGyara, first of all. Jolteon gives this team a run for its money, notably LO variant. Hopefully you liked my first full rate in a long time.

If your trying to use Weavile as a Scizor lure mabye try out Dugtrio to trap Scizor and hopefully rip it to shreds.

I really don't know what I'd switch it out for if I were you, but mabye someone can help with that if you choose to try it out. However I like the team, it looks nice and with a few adjustments it can become a great and effective team.

Good luck.

 

[Snorlaxe]

hello! you asked for a rate, so...

i really do not see the point of weavile on this team. it will almost never find time to set up, and in the face of sweepers with a stat boost such as dragon dance gyarados it simply folds up and dies. speaking of gyarados, i can really see your team having trouble with dragon dancers. gyarados pretty much OHKOes everything on your team after a dragon dance once swampert goes down, and dragon dance salamence can be catastrophic to your team once weavile goes down. while weavile does help you take on salamence, its insane frailness means that it probably won't be alive long enough to counter salamence once it sets up. weavile is weak to one of the most common moves in the game, stealth rock. in addition to this weavile's defensive stats are so poor that it cannot take many hits before it goes down. any faster pokemon like jolteon or a pokemon that utilizes choice scarf like heatran will pretty much always take out weavile. weavile's stealth rock weakness and horrible defenses also ensure that it cannot switch in on any attacks. this makes getting weavile on the field difficult, and setting up nigh impossible.

in order to fix this, i would try changing weavile to a choice scarf latias. latias's great special attack stat means that she can hit very hard without needing to set up. choice scarf makes her an ideal candidate to counter dragon dance salamence and dragon dance gyarados; with a choice scarf and maximum speed, she will always outspeed jolly / naive dragon dance salamence after a dragon dance, and jolly gyarados after two dragon dances. use a set of draco meteor | trick | surf | thunderbolt, an ev spread of 4 hp | 252 spa | 252 spe, and a timid nature. trick is very cool as it allows latias to swap her choice scarf to another pokemon. blissey, who commonly switches in on latias, will loathe having a choice scarf inflicted on her, as the extra speed doesnt help her at all and being restricted to one move really limits her walling capabilities. other walls like hippowdon will also hate having a choice scarf. trick just helps latias dismantle stall teams in general, and that is a pretty big plus as your team is currently kinda weak to a well played stall team.

alright, on infernape, i think that you may want to go with hidden power ice over nasty plot. while it is true that nasty plot allows infernape to boost its special attack by a lot, due to infernape's frailness it often will not get much of a chance to do a lot of attacking. anyway, nasty plot infernape is a pokemon that generally requires a lot of team support to succeed, due to it having some very common hard counters. your team unfortunately doesn't properly support infernape, and so it will have a very hard time pulling off a sweep in the long run. hidden power ice allows infernape to stop dragon dance salamence from setting up, seeing as it OHKOes it. this is pretty nice, as dragon dance salamence is currently a pretty large threat to your team once weavile goes down (as i mentioned before). i would also consider going with fire blast over flamethrower on dragonite. while flamethrower is a more accurate and "conservative" option, dragonite isnt exactly the most powerful special attacker out there. fire blast allows it to hit opposing pokemon quite a bit harder, at the cost of just a little bit of accuracy. i would also go with explosion on gengar, so that it can take out a pokemon when it is low on health. hidden power fire doesnt look too good on your current gengar set, seeing as hidden power fire's only real merit on gengar is to hit scizor, who can kinda already rip through the gengar set that you are currently using.

also, as a note to Misa Campo...while it is acceptable to change one or two pokemon to fix a gaping weakness or improve the team, changing three pokemon just for the sake of making changes isn't good. if he changes three pokemon, he might as well build a new team. it is important to keep the purpose of the team intact when rating a team, and by replacing so many pokemon, you aren't really doing that. remember, this is the "rate my team" forum, not the "build my team" forum. :P

anyway...hope i helped, and good luck with your team dude! ;)

 

[pielover12321]

Lets start with weaknesses. Your team has 4x weaknesses for fire, ice, grass, and fighting type moves which, could really devastate your team. If you really want Weavile on your team, give it a focus sash so it can survive a hit while using swords dance and then sweep a team.
Swampert is fine with your team with what it is. DD versions of Gyarados (once Swampert is gone) and Salamence can ruin your team pretty well and you might need some pokemon to block them.

If you want that Scizor to get some kills and stuff like that, you need choice items, I know you said you don't like them but Choice Band would be a much better choice than Life Orb which your team could just lose by recoil damage.

Infernape should not have nasty plot because it is too frail to get most chances to survive and then sweep. It also can get runover by DDGyarados and have had no use in the battle. Maybe a wall like Rotom or something could help you with those pesky DDGyarado's and other water types.

Dragonite is not the best choice on this team since Salamence can do virtually the same thing to kill Heatran and won't get stat losses. Salamence can do its job better, although I think less defences barely, and here's a good/better set instead of Dragonite although I know your hatred of Salamence might come into play here, (like Misa Campo said)
Salamence @ Life Orb
Naive
16 att/240 Special Attack/252 speed
Draco Meteor
Earthquake
FlameThrower
Outrage/Dragon Claw (your preference)

Gengar is pretty fine here and doesn't need changes at all.
