Don't listen to him about the whole Celebi thing, if you go the physical defensive set you will not, I repeat, will not OHKO Scizor with HP fire. You are fine with the offensive set, Starmie needs to take on a bulky set anyways because you need that rapid spin support so Togekiss can switch in...

Your stats return to normal when you switch out a Pokemon. I think your EV spread for Swampert doesn't really do your team any benefit, Swampert's purpose is better served as a tank. Swampert @ Leftovers Nature: Relaxed EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Atk -Stealth Rock -Earthquake -Icebeam -Roar This...

@ NarutoXXUzumaki Thank you for your suggestion, but my team isn't really stopped by Blissey. Every single time I switch Infernape into Blissey they switch out in fear of Close Combat as I Nasty Plot and sweep their team. I really enjoy the Nasty Ape set I have now because a +2 Fire Blast does...

After testing this team, I find myself having so much trouble against Machamp... need help plz!

Anymore suggestions?

@ BadAss Well since everybody is saying that Pursuit on Snorlax isn't necessary since Weavile can do the job I will replace it with Fire Punch because I like the idea of killing Scizor (who doesn't? ;P). Also for the CM Shuffle Latias will this do? Latias @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate Nature...

For Salamance I think you should change the EV spread, that's a horrible spread for a physical attacker. Just go 4 Def / 252 Atk / 252 Spe and give him a Yache Berry if your so concerned about Ice Beam. Trust me, giving him 252 HP and 92 Spe EV's isn't going to let you do damage after 1 DD. As...

@ CBshuckle Hm I think I will actually take your advice on this one, MYSTICgar can effectively keep Scizor in check. With Scizor out of the way, I think Magnezone has an easier chance to switch in and this will allow Choice Scarf Latias to not be trapped. With that being said I can allow...

@ Skoonie Wow I never really thought of that, I think that is all up to a player's choice as to how they want to deal with Weavile. If they are running Choice Band most likely I'll anticipate a U-turn because it's the smartest/safest move you could make. I don't really think someone running a LO...

@ Cost Thanks for the new EV spread on Weavile, hopefully it will allow Weavile for easier switching. Now as for your comment on adding sleep talk to snorlax, it is a good option but I primarily gave him Pursuit in order to counter Starmie. Many people now run offensive Starmies that pack Choice...

@ Pkftmfw Well I can see where you are coming from, giving Latias Recover adds more bulk to her. The point of the move set and item I picked was so that Latias could "trick" the enemy into believing she was choice scarfed and hit whatever switches in for a super effective attack. Also I...

Monkey Business I haven't tested this team out yet but I really wanted to make a team based around Infernape since it is one of my favorite Pokemon. I'm a big fan of balanced teams so I tried to make the team balanced, despite Infernape's main role in offensive teams to break walls. Creating...

I don't see how Dugtrio counters Blissey, sure she is trapped but CB EQ fails to OHKO while Blissey fires back with Ice Beam. I highly suggest you get a physical attacker in there somewhere because Blissey truely does handle these special rain dance teams well, Ludicolo's Boosted STABBEd LO Surf...

Like Toxic said, throwing in Heatran to your team could greatly help with the switches, although I present an alternative to the Heatran. Stealth Rock (Lead) @ Shuca Berry Nature: Naive Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spa / 252 Spe ~Stealth Rock ~Fire Blast ~Earth Power ~Explosion Most...

Nice Synergy on some of the Pokemon there. I can point out that Mamoswine presents a huge threat to your team considering it can hit 5/6 for SE STABBED damage. Also Swampert does fairly well against your team if it can predict a switch and EQ Empoleon. Because of threats like these, I suggest...

Mind if I help out here? I noticed that your team has a weakness to Electivire (physical set to be exact), as it already is, Electivire outspeeds everyone except Roserade. I will point out how you could counter electivire with your team. Zapods - The only thing I can see is if you Roost Stall...

Alright team edit to: Metagross - Lead Scizor - Choice Band Latias - Choice Scarf Gliscor - Stallbreaker Rotom-H - Standard Vaporeon - Wish Pass Reasoning: Latias over Starmie for obvious reason, higher stats, makes a good switch in to DD Mence/Gyara that Gliscor will have trouble walling...

So revisions: Starmie -> Choice Specs Latias Dusknoir -> Standard Rotom-H Blissey -> Wish Vaporeon Does this still make my team very vulnerable to SD Luke? According the counters section, it stated that Dusknoir was already a respectable counter.

Hmmmm running Gliscor over Porygon2 does take care the problem of Lucario, but having both Gliscor and Dusknoir would then seem redundant, suggestions to replace Dusknoir if I do add Gliscor?

Team Introduction: This team plays a very balanced format which attempts to cover both the physical and special side of the spectrum. The goal is to simply scout with boosted attacks, switch to the appropriate counter, predict a switch, and attack accordingly. (Obviously what happens in most of...
