Completely different role. Starmie is a rapid spinner and an anti-lead. This team is semi stall.

Why Spikes over Toxic Spikes?

Well, I see your point. This team may not be classified as full stall but it could most likely suit the definition of semi stall. Let's talk about weaknesses. What OU threats immediately come to mind concerning my team here? Spiritomb is my spin blocker and is a decent staller.

Why don't you use Umbreon? Umbreon@Leftovers - Calm/Careful Mean Look Taunt Wish Baton Pass For EVs do 252 HP and split up Def and SpD as you wish. I would recommend something like 168 Def/ 88 SpD

The Idea behind this team is counter lead setups and then stall. This starts with... Starmie@Life Orb [Timid] 4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spe Hydro Pump Thunderbolt Grass Knot Rapid Spin Timid Hydro Pump OHKO's Hippowdon. Modest Surf does not. Many lead pokes are surprised to be OHKO'd by Hydro Pump...

Crunch makes sense, however, I lack a decent Ice move on my team and Stone Edge has been invaluable against Salamence and Dragonite. I'm still on the fence. Close Combat sounds like a good idea. Cross Chop missed twice in a row against Glaceon in my last match and cost me a perfect sweep.

Somewhat updated. If necessary I can post a threat list as well.

Hey there, I'm about to show you the team I just made. But before that, I want to let you know that this is a Beginner team. My experience is limited to a couple months of play on Netbattle during Generation III. I have never played D/P. Now, onto the important part. This is my team - The...
