First off, welcome to Smogon! I understand that this is your first team, but you should really try to use it before getting it rated. Who knows? You may end up switching up the team soon. I do that quite often... Anyways.... the real rating! For one thing, you don't have much synergy... Try...

Ilike your team a lot. It seems well balanced, but I think that you can get a lot more out of Chandlure. If you replace scarf with leftovers, then replace energy ball and hidden power with painsplit and calm mind, you would have a bulkier chandy with almost the same kick. Because u have shadow...

Nice team. First things first, it seems that you would be able to take down stalls/walls fairly easily. HOWEVER, if you were to walk across an offensive oriented team, you wouldn't survive very long. For one thing, your two (in my opinion) strongest guys face serious problems from hazards: mamo...

Yea rock slide.... hahahmy bad. and i choose not to band Darmanitan because for some reason, she doesn't take the life orb damage. I checked this out, and apparently sheer force grants the boost, but removes the recoil. :)

Protect works. Probably would help stop fake out leads... I'm wondering still if Stone Edge and Claw Sharpen would be better than Knock Down and Bulldoze on Krookodile...

I agree. Btw go with Psycho shift. You really wouldnt be using it for attacking beyond set up.

First off, Archeops should have focus sash which guarantees to be saved instead of a 1/8 chance from the band. For your chandelure, i would suggest flamethrower, but overheat is a lot more more powerful. if you chose overheat, you would want to use that as a last resort. Something that I...

Finally got B/W in English! In preparation for a tourney between me and some pals, I’d like my newest team to be rated. I’d appreciate any positive feedback and things you’d suggest to be tweaked. NOTE: I’d prefer the team itself remain unchanged, but if you really see a need for...

a Quick note, Mamoswine would help against skarmory and especially gliscor while still running with the sandstorm. he can also plain out punch holes with Life orb

Nice team, tho you would have an issue with the likes of SD Lucario. All someone needs is Blazikan out of the way and with a switch into Saz, SD shadow claw, closecombat, and throw in an extremespeed and you are in some trouble. Just saying. Tho, i really can't find what to replace to solve...

Oh, also, you're team would be wrecked by a strong rock type (especially with SR up) Maybe an Aerodactyl? with stone edge/earthquake. He's faster than everyone and u have no real counter besides Vaporeon, but with SR up and a Life orb, he'd rip throught that too.

This team is... unique. 1 quick suggestion. 1: As you've probably heard already, Rotom-H is a good pokemon, just not the way ur using it. With Evs invested in SpA then defenses itll work, but w/o any ev's, overheat just doesn't have that complete kick necessary for it to stop people in its...

This team seems dangerous. while dark does have pluses, you can get easily taken advantage of with a team running 2+ U-Turn users or something like swords dance lucario. I like how you've done this, but in all honesty Iwould suggest the removal of Raikou for something like leftovers Zapdos. You...

Weavile has base 125 speed so Jolly is over doing it, especially with ice shard

Thanks for the suggestions. Im keeping my Weavile as is, but I may want to remove Mgnezone. I've tested Scizor and it works just as well, plus it doen't have the 4x weakness to Earthquake (Fire moves are much easier to predict as there is a smaller variety of pokemon who know them). Also, I'd...
