[5th Gen OU] RMT- Sand/phaze (First Gen 5 Team)

[Night-san]

First fifth gen team. Have at me; adviceplz.

Fluffernut (Hippowdon) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Slack Off
- Earthquake
- Roar

Standard Hippowdon lead to pair with Excadrill (Dory), makes a good defensive phazer in the right situation too. I tend to pair it off with Skarmory when phazing is a good idea, switching in whichever has the better resists.

Foreuse (Doryuuzu) (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Sand Throw
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Swords Dance
- Rapid Spin

Fairly obvious here. Excellent spinner that can come in without fear of Toxic Spikes, and makes for an excellent physical sweeper.

FUImmaDragon (Gyarados) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 156 HP / 72 Atk / 96 Def / 184 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Stone Edge
- Taunt
- Waterfall

Slightly bulkier, good at taking care of some stuff with Taunt. Makes a good switch in on stuff that wants to go at Ferrothorn with Fire-type moves and whatnot, but tends to get killed a lot otherwise. I'm starting to think that a replacement may be in order.

NotSoFast (Skarmory) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Spikes
- Whirlwind

Physical wall, phazer, and sets up Spikes. It and Ferrothorn tend to see equal use, despite the fact that they seem to fill the same role. Great for dealing with most fighting-types as well. Easy enough. Comes in great handy, obviously.

DoinYourMom (Roobushin) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Guts
EVs: 120 HP / 252 Atk / 136 SDef
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Mach Punch
- Payback

Priority, good fighting STAB. He doesn't see a lot of action, though, and tends to be knocked out quickly, so he also may need to be replaced, seeing how he's done so far.

Pokki (Nattorei) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 8 Def / 248 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Leech Seed
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip
- Protect

Absolutely adoring this guy's ability to wall. He's won many a match for me. Helps absorb other Ferrothorns' Leech Seeds, etc. as well. Again, he and Skarm both see a lot of use, despite seeming very similar.


Suggestions, comments, etc?

You might want to expand your descriptions a bit before Haunter swoops in and locks this.

Anyways, it seems like Skarmory and Nattorei fufill somewhat similar roles on this team. I'd suggest delegation the Spike-laying to Nattorei over either Gyro Ball or Power Whip and changing your Gyarados to a Dragon Tail-Rest Talk variant. Then, you are free to replace Skarmory with another Pokemon.

Don't have time to suggest anything more, just food for thought.

Mmkay, perhaps I'll expand my description.

Might get rid of Gyro.

Thanks man. :]

Most of your descriptions are still too short, hence you have to expand them. Try to write at least 4-5 sentences for each team member. I'll be back later to check if your descriptions have been expanded.
