Thanks for your input! Toxic on Landorus was really just a gimmick because its good on the Ubers set and I play Ubers quite a bit. I will change it for U-Turn. I actually did change Roost for Tailwind but forgot to update it. Thanks for the other changes though. Haven't used Zam since Gen 5 and...

BUMP and updated slightly. Nobody loves me :(

So I decided Keldeo + Vest Tyranitar is a good core because Tyranitar traps Lati@s and clears stuff for Keldeo to spam Hydro Pump and clean up. The rest of the team is basically just to deal with the counters to that strategy. One of the more offensive teams I've used but one of the best so far...

Well Tyranitar won't need the weather rock because thinking about it, you could just use the mega stone but not mega evolve it until your current weather is disrupted, then mega evolve it and get sand back, effectively making it 10 turns. That also gives sand the advantage of being an even...

Has anyone levelled up a Clauncher without evolving it to a Clawitzer to see if it gets Shell Smash, like Shroomish getting Spore after it is able to evolve to Breloom?

Well since the only Pokemon you have that is damaged by sand is Amoonguss, then replacing Jirachi with Tyranitar may be a good way to counter the Psychic-Types as well as give you a great Fire resistance, among other things. Sandstorm is a good anti-weather which is vital with all the sun and...

Glad I could help :) Well I reckon a Dragon Dance Dragonite would probably be the best idea for this team. He has enormous power and gets fast once you get a Dragon Dance up. His coverage is pretty good with EQ, Outrage and Waterfall. Dragonite @ Expert Belt Trait: Multiscale EVs: 252 Spd /...

If you really must, either Jolteon or Thundurus have HP Fire as an option, though it is not really going to do much in rain. You shouldn't really be using a Fire-Type move anyway... Change Zebstrika to a standard Jolteon or Thundurus-T as they outclass Zebstrika. If you want an offensive...

Your Magnezone needs fixing quite desperately. The only reason Magnezone is really used is to trap very common Steel-Type walls and KO them with Thunderbolt/HP Fire so that your other 'mons can sweep a lot more easily. A Magnet Pull Magnezone will fir your team very well, allowing Garchomp in...

You probably have too many 'mons of the same type which makes your team very weak to certain threats, like Alakazam as mentioned, and Volcaronas carrying Giga Drain could sweep your team if they get a Quiver Dance up. Terrakion and Stealth Rock are good against Volcarona as long as you keep your...

Not sure about a King's Rock on Cloyster. For some reason I thought King's Rock was banned. I would replace it with either a Sash or a White Herb. For Salamence, I recommend using Fire Blast over Fire Fang as it is much more powerful against the likes of Skarmory/Ferrothorn etc. even without...

Well I can kinda understand that making a themed team like that won't get you much synergy, but still, Smogon is for competitive stuff so yeah...

OK, this team has some serious issues with type synergy. You have big Stealth Rock weaknesses, 3 Fire weaknesses with no Fire resistance and too much Ground weakness. 2 Electric-Types is unnecessary and you are using a lot of outclassed Pokemon, with only 1 OU Pokemon in the entire team. You...

On Salamence I recommend changing the Life Orb to a Lum Berry and giving it Outrage over Dragon Claw. With Life Orb, you will die quite quickly from residual damage, due to you also having Hippowdon with Sand Stream. Salamence is fairly frail as well, so trying to keep it alive is important to...

Yeah I did feel Ferrothorn could kinda do with an attacking move, so I will replace Protect with Power Whip. I did hate getting Taunted and having nothing to do but struggle. I will give Jellicent Toxic for the fact that Will-O-Wisp NEVER hits. I'm not sure I want to give Hippowdon Toxic if...

So I decided to build a team around a really solid defensive core then add a couple of relevant sweepers/support Pokemon at the end and it has turned out really well. I was trying to ladder with it on an alt and got to over 2000 rating and at its peak I was 12-1 with it, but then I started...

I tested this and found that I didn't like the added Ghost and Dark weaknesses, and also that I prefer the physical attacker over the special attacker. Latios is really good, but I don't think it fits here too well. Keldeo hasn't caused me too many issues, anyway. Provided Sand is up, Gengar is...

Thank you for your suggestions and I have tested the changes but I have to say I got hammered each time I used it and the team seemed to have lost all of its power and synergy and everything really. It looked good on paper but in practice it didn't work at all for me. I can't stand Forretress...

Well I've tested a bit and I really like the previous suggestions. While Tentacruel and Jellicent resist all of Scizor's attacks, I haven't found either to be much of a problem. Rotom-W is good against both of them and Tyranitar and Ferrothorn are good against Jellicent. I have decided to run...

Thank you very much for your advice and I will test the changes and see if they work :) I am pretty sure they actually solve a lot of the team's issues, including the short life span of my revenge killer and the redundancy of Salamence. I think Will-O-Wisp and Chesto Rest on Rotom would be a...
