Having only been playing competetive Pokemon for under 2 weeks, this has been a trial and error Team that I have put together without looking at Smogon suggested movesets etc. I have had varying success, however I suspect that may be due to often quite poor opposition, and I hope that you will help me improve its weaknesses. One that I have noticed is that I have nothing to really deal with Fighting types, hence the slightly out of place Sky drop Thundurus and Extrasensory Bulky Suicune.

It is made up of 2 walls(for type coverage and for putting up rocks), 2 revenge killers (for better type coverage), and 1 banded and 1 specs.
It is partly designed to give me safe switch-ins to most movetypes, aswell as reasonably good type coverage.

I decided to try a slightly more unusual team, rather than do what most beginners seem to do and just use the Skarmbliss combo.

Please comment on what I could improve.

Thanks for reading, please keep all criticism constructive and remember my only two weeks of experience.

Thankyou.
 
too many choice users, the max that is smart is like 2, 3 is pushing it and 4 is useless. A team that uses a lot of u turns and fake out would destroy this team because of how much you would have to switch. also as the previous guys said, garchomp or ttar + excadrill would plow through this faster than rosie o donnel on pancakes
 
well for starters switch feraligator with vaporeon to get yourself a wall, put a life orb on entei, thats standard i think, vaporeon can combat garchomp too :D

The problem I have with using a Life Orb Entei is the recoil when combined with Flare Blitz, however I will test this. I will also try Vaporeon, although It might work better as a replacement for Suicune, as Ferraligator is there for the Scarfed revenge kill, and Vaporeon is not the speediest poke I don't think, but I may try shifting my team around a little, so thanks anyway :)
 
RMT Rules said:
3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to lock this for the time being. Please write descriptions for each of your team members and PM once you're done so I can unlock your thread. The RMT archive contains some examples of well-written RMTs.
