A new OU Balanced Team - Rate!

[_Murks_]

Ok, this is my first RMT here on Smogon. Sorry for my bad english, but I'm German and I don't have English in school for such a long time.

Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Stealth Rock
- Roar
- Hydro Pump
- Earthquake
-> Swampert is my favourite lead. It works well together with skarmory, because it has a resistance to electro. Hydro Pump is a very nice move, in my testbattles, i NEVER needed Ice Beam.

Skarmory (M) @ Shed Shell
Ability: Keen Eye
EVs: 252 HP/72 Def/184 Spd
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Taunt
- Spikes
- Roost
- Whirlwind
-> Here's Skarmory! It brings Spikes, which are always very nice. I don't like the Tauntset... but I think, it's the best Skarmoryset in this team... but i can change it!

Metagross @ Life Orb
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Agility
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Thunderpunch
-> That's the pokémon i built the team around! Its very cool, because nothing can stop it. Maybe I will test a Lum Berry > Life Orb. But I don't know...

Gengar (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Pain Split
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
-> This guy is just a beast ^_^ Blissey gets owned by Pain Split. I don't know what else to say here =D maybe I will test Hidden Power [Fire] > Focus Blast, but than it gets owned by Tyranitar... :/
---

Infernape (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Nasty Plot
- Fire Blast
- Vacuum Wave
- Hidden Power [Ice]
-> This guy absorbs Will-O-Wisps and often sweeps the opponent's team. Nasty Plot is the best move on Infernape I've ever played. I love it ^_^
---

Rotom-h @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
-> I've got a weakness against Thunderwaves and so on... so I try to play Stalk-rotom. It's also a spinblocker like Gengar. =D

Ok, that was my new OU team. I don't find any big weaks... but Breloom can suck very hard. Please rate!

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

You need to improve on your descriptions. As of right now, your descriptions are lacking and hence, violating rule #3. Try to lengthen them more please. Have a look at some of the teams in the RMT archive to see what is expected. Aim for 5 well-formulated sentences for each of your Pokemon. Explain why you chose a Pokemon, what it does, how it contributes to the success of the team, etc. If you fix the descriptions properly, PM me the changes; if they are sufficient enough I will unlock your thread with the edited descriptions.
