rate my team please

Starter
SubSeeder
Sceptile
Moves
- Substitute
- Leech Seed
- Grass Knot
- Hidden Power Fire
Item-Leftovers
Nature-Timid
Ev's- 56 HP / 200 Def / 252 Spe

Starting with a subseeder gives me an instant edge and sceptile is the fastest user of substitute and leech seed. As for attacks im going with the special side off things, however it is weak to the ever common ice type.

Choice specs
Heatran
Moves
- Fire Blast
- Earth power
- Dragon Pulse
- Explosion
Item-Choice Specs
Nature-Modest
Ev's- 52 HP / 252 SpA / 204 Spe

Fire, Ground, and Dragon covers everything, so not much can safely switch into this. Fire Blast does amazing amounts of damage, even to those who resist it, and allows for a 3HKO on the likes of Gyarados and Swampert.Earth Power provides excellent coverage and is always a 2HKO on both Tyranitar and Rhyperior in a Sandstorm.Dragon Pulse is an OHKO on every Dragon you will find in OU. My main worries are water types.

CBmence
Salamence
Moves
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Brick Break
- Rock Slide
Item- Choice Band
Nature- Adamant
Ev's 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe

Well with this i may have the element of surprise, my opponent may very well be expecting the more-popular SpecsMence variant. For some perspective, the same 405 Attack Choice Band Dragon Claw will do 58-68% to a 688HP/130Def Bold Blissey that switches in expecting a Modest Draco Meteor, and she will take 73-86% from a 405 Attack Choice Band Brick Break. I will pair this with jirachi to avoid weaknesses.

Spore Puncher
Breloom
Moves
- Spore
- Focus Punch
- Stone Edge
- Mach Punch
Item- Toxic Orb
Nature- Adamant
Ev's- 44 HP / 252 Atk / 212 Spe

Spore then either on the switch or while asleep focus punch. Mach punch OHKO weavile and 2HKO tyranitar.The third slot provides coverage against the Flying types that plague Breloom. Gyarados, Salamence and friends won't enjoy a powerful Stone Edge, Intimidate or not.

Revenge Killer
Weavile
Moves
- Pursuit
- Ice Punch
- Brick Break
- Aerial Ace
Item- Choice Band
Nature- Jolly
Ev's- 40 HP / 252 Atk / 216 Spe

STAB Pursuit is what really makes this set, taking out powerful sweepers such as Azelf, Alakazam and Gengar in a single hit. Even if they are foolish enough to stay in, CB Pursuit can KO all three of them.STAB Ice attacks are always threatening and Weavile's Ice Punch easily KOs any Dragons threatening a sweep.Weavile can KO the earthbound variety too. Dragon Dance Tyranitar fails to outrun Weavile after a single boost, leaving him at the mercy of Brick Break.


BrightPowderGarchomp
Garchomp
Moves
- Earthquake
- Dragon Claw/Outrage
- Swords Dance
- Substitute
Item- Bright Powder
Nature- Jolly
Ev's- 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe

Thanks to Sand Veil and the ridiculous amount of players who use Tyranitar or Hippowdon, this set is pretty much setup when either one of the two come out. Once a Sandstorm kicks up, Garchomp's Evasion is raised to 28%.since it has such a high Evasion rate during a Sandstorm, it will most likely be able to put up a Substitute and use Swords Dance at least once. Main Problems are Bronzong and Skarmory.



Dont post on this one post on the other one
So thats my team and feel free to put down suggestions. i am considering weezing good choice?
 
this team seems pretty good, but it has a serious lack of defense.

things like CS-hera run through this team. Nothing can safely switch in.

considering some walling liek weezing, or snorlax or maybe even gliscor
 
dont use brightpowderchomp without sand on your team imo. assuming the team you're fighintg will provide you with sand is stupid
just use cbchomp imo.

the team on a whole is pretty frail. 2 4x weak to ice and your only resists are choice item users. no form of recovery anywhere except for leech seed.

sceptile is doin barely any damage with no s atk. is that a mistake? why bother with def?

no one on the team can really hurt bulky waters like cune or milotic (cm rest ice beam pretty much walks all over your team especially with no special attack evs on sceptile)
skarmbliss also dances around your team

=\
 
DDnite walks all over this team he 1hkos everything except heatran who is 2hkoed by Outrage, it even outspeeds weavile after a dd. I would make Garchomp hold a choice band and put a Vaporeon over Salamence.
 
I find BrightpowerChomp to be stupid as it is, I highly encourage you not to use it, but not even having someone setting us SS is just... <_<. Try a different set, maybe the CB one that several people seem to be mentioning lately.
Also, you need some defense on this team..4 Ice weaks...Heatran is a good resist to Ice(he of course won't fix this problem on his own), but Weavile is fragile, not to mention S-rock weak.

For starters, I suggest Bronzong, he adds Hypnosis and Stealth Rocks, not to mention adds a lot of defense, and is a counter to the Almighty Mamoswine. Ok fine, I really like Mamoswine, but still, Bronzong can help this team. You still need a wall though even if you add him..maybe Gliscor? Eh, the next wall is your choice, I'm tired so I don't feel like suggesting anything more <_<. Hope that post makes sense, I need some sleep...
 
Yeah... Brightpowder is going to really make people going to really hate you. Leftovers really help Garchomp do whatever a Garchomp can and with 101 subs... That really helps.

Anything with DD can pretty much 6-0 you right off the bat.

Garchomp and Salamence shouldn't have 252/252 EVs... They lose a lot of durability and in today's metagame you do a lot of switching around with SR being all over the place.

Also, what are you going to do when Machamp appears? Breloom can't switch into a Dpunch or an Ice Punch and Garchomp's evasion hax gets nulled out too...
 
I will make in-depth edits later, but

-Stop using Brightpowder on Garchomp! No one accepts hax items, and it will make people think you are an asshole like Myth said. Change it to Salac Berry, and go Dragon Claw>Outrage.

- Weavile sucks pretty badly, but if you want to use it use Ice Shard/ Night Slash/ Brick Break/ Swords Dance with Life Orb.

How does that Weavile suck?

AA for Heracross is going to be really nice, Brick Break will do over 50% to Bissey, and Life Orb might help a bit more, but quite honestly... I find it to just kill you quicker. If you go up against a wall with Life Orb you will do next to nothing to it and you have just wasted 10% of your health. Figure in Standstream/Snow Warning, Toxic Spikes, Stealth Rock, etc... That 10% of your health becomes really precious.

Weavile has next to no time to really use SD anyway...
 
because everyone is packing a steel to take garchomp outrages, so when your opponent has a bronzong or a forretress your weavile can't really do anything and you're essentially giving most of those steels a free turn of setup, which in turns lessens the amount of times that weavile can come in. i think the set slice suggested is really the only weavile set that should be considered for usage these days, and even then something like lucario is a much more threatening pokemon.
