Noivern @ Leftovers
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Taunt
- Dragon Pulse
- Focus Blast
- Roost

I generally lead with Noivern to tell what the enemies running first. Only issue is that it handles poorly if the opponent goes straight for the attack and can only really last a few hits or so.

Azumarill @ Choice Band
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 168 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def / 84 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Play Rough
- Waterfall
- Superpower

Fantastic Pokemon. Azumarill is a beast and has generally helped me win most of the battles I've used it in.

Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Gyro Ball

Fantastic Pokemon. Ferrothorn has generally kept me in the game, allowing me to set up those Hazards and deal some good damage with the Gyro Ball. Definately keeping unless it's performance lowers.

Talonflame @ Life Orb
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- Roost

Good Pokemon. Very vulnerable though so considering a replacement. Has generally performed okayish but not amazing.

Lucario @ Lucarionite
Ability: Steadfast
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Aura Sphere
- Dark Pulse
- Flash Cannon
- Nasty Plot

Lucario performs well, but it still has its issues. For example, in the five battles I've had on Showdown, it's fainted in 3 of them, generally only taking out 1 or even no Pokemon. The others times it's performed extremely well and helped me pull back.

Umbreon @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronise
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Wish
- Foul Play
- Toxic
- Protect

My support. Used to generally get Azumarill back into the game, or hinder problematic Pokemon.

Please tell me what you think should be changed, and all honest opinions are accepted.

If the duplicate item clause is in effect, your team might suffer since three of your Pokemon run leftovers?

Because Ferrothorn is able to gain some recovery through leech seed, you could consider swapping out its leftovers in place of a rocky helmet. This will punish physical attackers with damage from iron barbs and the rocky helmet.

Umbreon is a similar case, with very reliable recovery in wish + protect, so perhaps you could equip it with something else, such as Lum berry maybe? That way if you are subject to a status yourself, Umbreon will Synchronise it to the opponent then recover it's own ailment with Lum?

That's actually probably what I should be doing. Thanks for the advice!
 
There is no item clause. I don't know why people think there is.

Change Noivern to:

Noivern @ Choice Specs/Life Orb
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Flamethrower (unless it actually does get Fire Blast but I'm 99% sure it doesn't)
- Hurricane
- U-turn/Dragon Pulse/Switcheroo/Boomburst

You can definitely lower the Speed on Azumarill to 8 and optimize Ferrothorns EVs. There is nothing else wrong set-wise, synergy wise however, I suggest you try my changes, and then put the team here: http://sweepercalc.com/rmt/index.html

I'm sure at that point it will be easier to help.
 
I love how Noivern gets Taunt. Gives it alot of utility.

You NEED something to get rid of Rocks if you're using Talonflame. It should be a staple by now, but either way. Rocks seriously hurt Talonflame, so something to counter it is great. Defogger, Rapid Spinner, etc. Taunt kind of stops this, but if they get the rocks up when Noivern hasn't Taunted them, then Talonflame's in danger.

I would do that but Noivern's role is meant to be a lead, to help me know what I'm facing. That moveset wouldn't really help with that :/

Dont get to comfortable with M-Lucario. I like how Noivern's designed as an anti lead, havent seen that.

Well hopefully it doesn't get banned because if it does, it'll be an idiotic mistake. The things good but in the 5 battles I've used this team in, it's survived 2.

But thanks in regards to Noivern, it has helped on a couple of those battles.

Yeah, I don't really see why M-Lucario would be banned. I mean, it's really good, and it IS Uber-worthy, but any bulky attacker (AV Conkeldurr) can take his attacks and shut him down easily. Test out a few Megas, though - if you want a good Special Attacker, Charizard-Y is where you should go.

Charizard @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Fire Blast / Flamethrower
- Focus Blast
- Solar Beam
- Roost / Air Slash / Defog

Good and bulky. Fire Blast or Flamethrower just depends on your opinion, if you want more damage or don't trust the accuracy of Fire Blast. The last moveslot is a bit of your personal choice - with Roost, Charizard-Y can bluff Sucker Punches, but with Air Slash, you have something to hit Fighting types. Considering you're running Talonflame, as well, Defog would be a good choice for a last moveslot, so it can survive.

I might consider that. I was just against a friend who managed to beat my Lucario using a Tailwind Talonflame and Earth Power Nidoking. Bloody thing dropped like a fly.
