"great"

Uh ThiccTornadus what are you talking about?

that it's not great

Okay, is there any suggestions you'd like to add? It seems pretty great for me though...

try looking through the viability rankings and see what is and what is NOT ranked (umbreon) i also suggest that u read through the "team options" section on each members respective smogdex paste and replacing Umbreon for smthn else also would greatly improve this.

smogdex set*

I think you need to lurk a little more jay, because no offense, but half of your team is unviable. Umbreon, max hp Marowak, and max hp max attack landoru are All disgustly underwhelming, (well max hp marowak is a staple of trick room, which you are not running.) I say to watch some high level tournaments to see what is and isnt viable.

Dont listen to them dude. You dont need to exclusively use top ranked mons to have a good team. You can build around lots of mons/styles. build teams that you enjoy playing with

Well guys, i got a pretty standard score for this so i don't see what's wrong. I posted this team in the SM OU Sample Teams and NO ONE said umbreon was bad, 2 people liked the post i did? Please read that post, everything will get explained.

And please, even if a Pokemon is not on the SM OU VR, doesn't mean its bad...

I will concede that umbreon isn't a bad pokemon. Its just that other pokemon do its job better. Namely, if you want a cleric, use clefable or even chansey. The reason they are better is because they have much better defensive typings and in the case of clefable, are not setup fodder thanks to its ability unaware. Chansey is also a much better special wall than umbreon as siesmic toss and toxic do decent damage

Chansey does decent damage to set up sweepers and can act as a stop to some like volcarona, who destroys your team after a quiver dance.
