A team in construction

.amlex.

Well here goes my common team that I use. My team has constantly been changed around to fit my needs, now it is at a point where I think that it is acceptable. So without further ado I give you my team!

Lucario @ Wise Glasses
Timid~ 252 Sp.Att, 252 Sp.Def, 4 Hp
Vacuum Wave
Aura Sphere
Dark Pulse
HP Fire

So a standard special sweeper set. I went against using a SpecsLuc because I like to keep my options open. The HP was something that I was lucky to get at a power of 70, and I found that it can 2hko skarmory leads, that is if they dont drill peck me first turn.


Slowbro @ Leftovers
Bold ~252 Def, 200 Hp, 56 Sp.Att
Surf
Grass Knot
Ice Beam
Slack Off

Ok, I have really liked using my Slowbro and it has been very successful for me. I found that it single-handedly can take out any member of the Big5 group, and can Slack Off to face another pokemon. Grass Knot is useful for taking out other Bulky waters too.

Flygon @ Life Orb
Adamant ~ 252 Att, 216 Spd, 40 Hp
U-Turn
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Dragon Claw

A physical sweeper that I exchanged my Salamence for. It is great because it absorbs EQ's, and also any electric type move. The moveset is fairly common, but works great for scouting with U-turn. Life orb is partly there so that I can still Uturn out for when a Counter switches in.

Dusknoir @ Leftovers
Careful~ 252 Hp, 180 Sp.Def, 76 Def
Shadow Sneak
ThunderPunch
Will o Wisp
Pain Split

One of my first walls that I have made. Can be very useful. ShadowSneak to take out those tricky fragile psychic sweepers. Will-o-wisp to last longer against physical beasts. Pretty standard set overall.

Heracross @ Choice Scarf
Jolly~ 252 Att, 216 Spd, 40Hp
Aerial Ace
Megahorn
Close Combat
Night Slash

Standard physical sweeper. Works great I have found. Aerial Ace to take out other Heracrosses that try to take it out. Good type coverage here.
Scarf to give me added speed.

OK... now the last one I am a little undecided on.
Right now I am using a YawnKingdra, but I think I might want a bulkier wall
Here is the YawnKingdra in anycase.

Kingdra @ Lum Berry

Yawn
Surf
Ice Beam
Dragon Pulse

Worked surprizingly well in the past for me. I was able to put to sleep a cressie and a blissey to sleep, then switch something in something else wreck havoc. Two STAB attacks here.


Any advice is greatly appreciated.
 
With Lucario, i would use HP Ice over fire reasons hits dragons alot better, Flying, Grass and Ground. The rest of him looks fine.

Slowbro seems fine to me, with Flygon i would change it's nature to Jolly and use 252 evs in speed and attack also flamethrower might have some use on its moveset to take care of those steel types ei: Fort and Skarm.

Dusknoir seems fine other than i would use Fire Punch over Thunder Punch, reasons will take on Heracross much better, i change mine to Fire Punch and it worked out much better.

With Heracross change it's moveset to Adamant, 252 Atk and Spd with Close Combat, Mega Horn, Stone Edge and Pursuit or Night Slash

Really you would need a sp.wall somewhere in there, so Milotic, Blissey or Snorlax would be fine ^_^
 
You just can't compete against a standard attacking Gengar, moreso if he has Life Orb. He's easily OHKOing or 2HKOing your whole team, with only Heracross being fast enough to do anything about it. CB Weavile and standard HP Ice/Fire Attack/Grass Knot/Close Combat Infernape are huge problems too. No Dragon resist other than Lucario, no residual damage support.

Firstly I'd take out Dusknoir for Forretress. He partners well with Slowbro as he resists Bug, Dark, Ghost and Grass whereas Slowbro handles Fire attacks and ridiculously powerful Fight attacks that threaten Forry such as CB Close Combats. He can counter Weavile and provide Stealth Rock support so he seems like a good overall fit. Gyro Ball/Earthquake/Stealth Rock and then Explosion, Light Screen or Rapid Spin depending on whether you'e worried about residual damage stacking up. Give him a splattering of Sp Def EV's to help him deal with Gengar Shadow Balls and Thunderbolts in an emergency.

Slap Vaporeon over Kingdra as he makes an excellent Infernape counter and can provide Wish Support to Forry. Give him HP Electric if possible to deal with the Gyara weak that opened up with Dusknoir's departure.

Just go ahead and max Flygon's speed and give him Fire Blast to deal with Skarms and Forries. Give Hera Stone Edge > Aerial Ace and Sleep Talk > Night Slash to deal with nasty Flying types and absorb sleep respectively.

Lucario/Slowbro/Flygon/Forretress/Heracross/Vaporeon

Still a little Gengar weak as Vaporeon can't take Expert Belt/Life Orb Thunderbolts and Forry is manhandled by Focus Blast. I'd go ahead and replace Lucario with a Scarfed Heatran...he can easily switch into anything other than Focus Blast and OHKO with a Fire Attack. He's also a good revenge killer incase you somehow let Lucario get a Swords Dance. Also counters and KO's problematic special sweepers like Azelf, Porygon Z and HP Ground-less Yanmega.

Heatran/Slowbro/Flygon/Forretress/Heracross/Vaporeon

Don't need two Scarfers either so slap CB on Hera instead.
 
Well, if we follow from the above team suggested by Lee, we're going to be hard pressed to stop any Electric, with Electivire/Zapdos being a bitch to switch into. For that, I'd probably just go more standard with Salamence over Flygon, which adds more offense, or can give you more defense should you use a bulky one with Wish (which probably helps out more). This will help you more so against fighters such as Lucario/Heracross who Slowbro/Forretress are horrible at dealing with, as well as HPIceless Infernapes. Along with that, we add Swampert over Vaporeon. This will help against those electrics, help even more against Metagross and Tyranitar, who could've been annoying, and free up the Stealth Rock spot on Forretress.
