This is my new team that I have been trying out. Its doing pretty well but sometimes It does pretty horrible so I wanted to see what I can do to fix it or make it better. I also wanted to use some pokemon I love using because Its gratifying sometimes seeing your favorite pokeomn sweep a team or damage one heavily. So without further adue here is the team:
At A Glance:
And the RMT:
Honchkrow (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Insomnia
EVs: 224 Atk/236 Spd/48 SAtk
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Heat Wave
- Sucker Punch
- Superpower
- Pursuit
Now I know what your all thinking. I know he isnt the greatest thing in the world but He never fails to KO at least 1 or 2 pokemon. I pulled him off the stradegy dex so its pretty standard off there. Insomnia is awesome for getting past those startest trying to sleep me. Heatwave for those brelooms and metagrosses. Sucker punch for stab and a nice priority. Pursuit to handle gengar and Azelfs. Superpower to take out t-tar and heatran starters. I love this guy. I would like to keep him as my lead if at all possible, especially cause he is one of my favorite poke's.

Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP/216 Def/52 SAtk
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam
- Surf
Changed swampert around from a cursepert to a Mixpert. Needed Ice beam to deal with mence. Surf and EQ for dual stabs. SR since my lead cant do it. Took mixpert from stragedy dex so its pretty standard and its worked for me before in the past.

Latias (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Def/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Recover
My Sweeper. Max atk and speed so I can get the first hit on anyhting not scarfed minus a few pokes. Surf and Dracometeor have a good type coverage so I use those 2 and Thunderbolt to hit those bulky waters and to hit gyrados if I can catch him before a DD. Recover to heal off LO damage. Pretty standard but I do have a problem taking out dragons without him. But like I said after my oponent gets a DD in he is as good as toast.

Lucario (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Extremespeed
- Crunch
I never really used a lucario untill now. It was between him and a CB scizor but I already have 2 choice users on my team and I didnt want 3. Max atk and speed. Standard SDluke with crunch to handle Latias or anyhting with a dark weakness. CC for t-tar and if I can catch a Heatran in a switch. But like I said he is pretty standard but he does his job fairly well. One of the only poke's i would consider switching out for something else.

Shaymin @ Choice Specs
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Seed Flare
- Earth Power
- Air Slash
The star of my team. Also One of my alltime favorites next to honchkrow but yeah. Max speed and special ATk. He is Pretty bulky and his mono grass type helps alot. I can usually take a EQ from somehting anyhting trying to hit my heatran and hit back with a specs powered seedflare(which has done wonders). Earthpower for catching those heatrans in the switch. Hp fire for steels(although I'm considering HP Electric because im having trouble with Garyados) Air Slash because I cant think of what else to put in that slot and because I can get a lucky flinch off somethimes. Along with Honchkrow hes another I'm not willing to take off the team just cause it makes it more fun playing with him I think.

Heatran (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Earth Power
- Explosion
- Fire Blast
- Dragon Pulse
Standard revenge killer Heatran. Him and Shaymin cover each other pretty well. I keep trying to put HP Ice on him but It always turns into something diff so I got frustrated and put Dragon pulse. He does verry well. I love this guy. Earthpower to hit other heatrans or anyhting weak to it. Explosion as my last dich effort. Fire blast.....ehhh....I have had a lot of bad luck with it lately. it seems to miss more than hit wich is pretty frustrating. So I was thinking overheat of flamethrower.
---
Now My team is a little diff than what I'm used to. I wanted to use things that one wouldnt find to often. Namely with Honchkrow and Shaymin. I have never been to good at figuring out EV spreads so any help there would be much appreciated. I always used to have alot of trouble with T-tars but I don anymore but Im having alot of trouble with DDgyra and DDsalemence. Any my lack of a special wall is my downfall somethimes but I kinda wanted to stay more offencive. So any help would be awesome.
