(4th Gen Team)Cutting down some n00bs

Hey all,
I'm thinking of joining this tournament with too many crazy newbies joining. I'm going to use my current team but i need some tweaking with it since i'm not sure it'll work against some crazy gimmicks. well here goes, my first rmt

The Lead
Spr_4p_464_m_s.png

Rhyperior "Rhyperry"
Adamant/Leftovers
Solid Rock
Ev's 140 HP / 252 Atk / 32 Def / 84 Spe
Moves:
Substitute
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Stealth Rock

At a glance this looks pretty bad but when in action, often it is the opposite. Most leads will either stealth rock or switch and that's the opportunity to set up a sub or stealth rock. I find that substitute is useful to use because after setting up stealth rock there's still a chance for me to knock in some hits with SE or EQ. Another plus is that Dynamic Punch from lead Machamp (with lum berry) 2HKO'S it so Stealth Rock almost always gets set up. This has always been one of my favourite leads.

Support

Tentacruel
Calm/Black Sludge
Liquid Ooze
Ev's 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SpD
Moves :
Toxic Spikes
Rapid Spin
Surf
Knock Off

Often Tentacruel can come in against my opponent's counter to Rhyperior, take the Water-attack (sometimes grass like leech seed) and start setting up toxic spikes, rapid spin and neutralizing with knock off. Knock off may be replaced because of its often utter uselessness for lack of places to be used obviously but finds an interesting niche here but fails to compliment Surf as my only attack.

Physical Wall

Arcanine
Bold/Leftovers
Intimidate
Ev's 240 HP / 168 Def / 28 SpA / 72 Spe
Moves :
Flamethrower
Will-o-Wisp
HP Ground
Roar

This one here has been useful to me in most beginnings and most ends. This is a pretty simplistic set, will-o-wisp walls and physical sweepers and also anything that isn't toxic'd and roar for stealth rock and toxic spikes damage. The only problem i find is that later on in the game it's my only sweeper type poke but seems too weak to eliminate pokes. However it can come in and surprise most people expecting a sweeper and encountering a wall.

Special/Mixed Wall
Spr_4p_197.png

Umbreon/hax-magnet
Quiet/Leftovers
Syncronize
EV'S 252 HP/100 Att/152 Sp.Def
Moves :
Wish
Protect
Curse
Payback

This is mainly for supporting the above three pokemon with wish incase i feel i need them longer and also for toxic stalling. If the opponent is more inclined to a physical team i have the option to curse and payback. Not much more to say although my opponents have told me this is a pretty good poke. but it's nickname says it all, this guy is usally on the blunt end of many a crit/hax. His nature seems weird but thats only because i soft resetted him, i may switch it for a different special wall or whatever my team is missing.

Swords Dance Sweeper

Gliscor/~TehNinja~
Adamant/Life Orb,Leftovers
Hyper Cutter
Ev's 40 HP / 252 Atk / 216 Spe
Moves :
Swords Dance
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Fire Fang

This one used to be a pretty viable sweeper. On this team? meh. I often make a mistake in sending him in and he gets sweeped out so I'm not really sure. His moves are pretty self explanatory except for fire fang. I used fire fang because my old team had a vast grass weakness so this guy was my man. I'm thinking of switching in to maybe taunt or roost. I may just switch this guy altogether with a Gengar for a special attack side.

The End Game Sweeper
Spr_4d_330_s.png

Flygon
Jolly/Choice Scarf
Levitate
EV's 252 Att/ 252 Spe
Moves :
Outrage
Earthquake
U-Turn
Fire Punch

Very Simplistic, just your typical Choice Scarf Flygon. Just the only problem is the redundancy with the Fire Punch which i used for coverage.



I'm very open to changes so feel free for any positive/negative comments.
