A Wi-Fi Team with some Synergy

smok

Well I tried making a wi-fi team, and if you saw the thread it was pretty bad... o.k. really bad, but I learned from my mistakes, and made a new one so please rate it. Thanx in advanced

The Lead:

Bronzong @ Leftovers
EVs:252def, 126spdef,126HP, 4atk
Ability: Levitate
Nature:Sassy
-Sealth Rock
-Hypnosis
-Gyro Ball
-Explosion

I went back to my Bronzong lead, MKDSjedi was right, Arodactyl wasn't bulky enough to act as a lead. So, we have a basic Bronzong moveset here. He comes out and uses Hypnosis, then sets up Stelth Rock. He has Gyro Ball as a STAB, and Explosion for when he gets low on health.

The Tank:

Metogross @ Leftovers
EVs:252spdef, 252def, 4HP
Ability: Clear Body
Nature: Adamant
-Reflect
-Thunder Punch
-Meteor Mash
-Explosion

Metogross as my Tank has great defence, and can pack quite a punch, with this EV spread can take at least 2 EQs from an LO Garchomp. Reflect is for raising my Teams defence a bit. Meteor Mash for a STAB, and Thunder Punch for Skarmory. Last but not least is Explosion for when i'm low on health.

The Spiker

Skarmory @ Leftovers
EVs:252HP, 126def, 130spdef
Ability: Keen Eye
Nature: Jolly
-Spikes
-Brave Bird
-Roost
-Whirl Wind

I dropped Ludicolo after seeing that it didn't work well on shoddy. Skarmory is a good defencive poke, also I needed a Spiker. So, he sets up Spikes and uses Whirl Wind to force a switch. Roost to heal in a pinch, and Brave Bird as a STAB, Leftovers help with the recoil.

The Defencive Wall

Swampert @ Leftovers
EVs:126HP,130spdef, 252def
Ability: Torent
Nature:Adamant
-Avalanch
-EQ
-Rest
-Sleep Talk

I dropped Jolteon for Swampert I was sick and tierd of hearing about how bad he was. Any was I love how this Swampert works. EQ for STAB. Swampert is slow, so Avalanch is good for taking out grass types. EV spred is very defencive. Also Resttalks to bug people.

The Phisical Sweeper

Infernape @ Life Orb
EVs:252atk, 252spd, 4HP
Abiliy: Blaze
Nature:Jolly
-U-Turn
-Close Combat
-Flare Blitz
-Thunder Punch

One of my two Physical Sweepers, if need be replaced I wont object. first of all I know the EVs could use some work. Next the move set, Flare Blitz and close Combat as STABs, U-turn to retreat if the siuation calls for it, and Thunder Punch for better type coverage.

The Second Physical Sweeper

Gallade @ Life Orb
Ability: Stedfast
EVs: 64HP, 252atk, 192spd
Nature:Adamant
-Close Combat
-X-Scissor
-Ice Punch
-Psycho Cut

Gallade is my second sweeper, honestly I like him better than Infernape. The Life Orb gives his moves an extra punch, and then X-Scissor over Night Slash because X-Scissor has bp of 80 while Night Slash has 70, also Bug moves cover more types than Dark. Psycho Cut, Ice Punch is for better type coverage.

I'd say that it's a bit better than my old team, but i'm still relitivly new at this so please don't flame at me if you see a glaring error. I'm also still looking for a good special wall to replace Jolteon. Thanx to any one who helps I do appriciate it.
 
Aerodactyl is not bulky enough to warrant having Roost on the set. Run EQ or something there instead.
That Metagross is walled by Skarmory (then again any Metagross not running ThunderPunch is)
Stuff sets up on that Ludicolo when its busy Rain Dancing and Gengar prevents it recovering especially well.
Jolteon would rather be a Special Sweeper if you can breed it Hidden Power Ice, as that is something your team lacks.
Run ThunderPunch or Stone Edge over EQ on Infernape, the coverage they give is much better than EQ (do you need it when CC is so powerful against fellow Fighters and Electrics?)
On Gallade run Psycho Cut or Night Slash over Leaf Blade as its coverage is redundant.

Your main problem is a lack of a Wall that can stop stuff dead, you have a Staller and a Tank but neither of those enjoys Fire attacks. In fact, that's an even bigger problem. Maybe Heatran over Jolteon to give you the Flash Fire help. Your only EQ resist is Aerodactyl, so if you could put Skarmory on there somewhere it might help.

It really looks like you just took six Pokemon, randomly selected a few of their moves, and assigned an EV spread to them. Think about typing, resistances and think about your opponents, then try making a team again.

PS
Do you honestly think anyone is going to want to rate your team at 3o'clock in the morning? Have a little patience.
 
I find no synergy. Ludicolo may hurt your Infernape, which has pointless EVs. It should max speed/attack.

Your Jolteon is pathetic. Why does it have HP/Def EVs, Iron Tail? You already have Metagross, and that's all you have for a wall... you have no special wall at all, with Gallade being closest, but very far from it.

I think you need some more special attackers. Celebi, Gliscor, Hippodown and Tangrowth will wall your team for the most part.

Your team is pretty EQ weak, with Infernape, Jolteon and Metagross taking loads of damage from it.

I really reccommend checking out the smogon strategy dex!!
 
I made a few changes based on your comments. First to Haunterfan sorry about the natures I got them up as soon as I read your post, and I also gave Metagross a Leftovers for more HP. Next to MetaNite I fixed the EVs on Inferape, you were right there. If you had read my description of Jolteon you would see that i'm trying to find a good special wall to replace him. Also I took Rain Dance off of Ludicolo. And last to MKDSjedi, you were totally right about Arodactyl, so instead of trying to fix him I cut him in place of my old lead Braonzong. I think having a bulkier lead is a good idea. On Metagross I ran Thunder Punch insted of Hammer Arm for Skarm, like you said. On Infernape I ran Thunder Punch to get rid if water and flying types. As for the last part of your message I am truly sorry about that, but I am on the west coast were at he time it was twelve, and I couldn't sleep. I will try to restain myself next time, again sorry.
 
Since Ludicolo is running a Calm nature and spatk evs, I believe Surf would be a better option over Waterfall. It has a higher base power anyways, so it'll basically always be better, I don't think the flinch chance is worth the loss in raw strength.

Also, Wide Lens is a waste on Jolteon considering it only helps the accuracy of Thunder. You could try a classic BP set, using Substitute/Baton Pass/Thunderbolt/HP Ice. However, since HP breeding is rather difficult on wifi, HP ice could become Wish (at the cost of being walled by many).
 
To everyone who reads this post, I am NOT looking for a fix on Jolteon, I am looking for a replacement. Peferably a special wall. I myself am looking for a replacement at the moment, but PLEASE DO NOT try to fix Jolteon any more. Thanx to all who help.
 
I'm thinking of running a Salamence in place of Jolteon as a special wall, because I desperatly need one.

Salemence @ Life Orb
EVs: 252spatk, 252spdef, 4spd
Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Calm
-Draco Meteor
-Flamethrower
-Hydro Pump
-Dragon Pulse

ok I know this guy could use some work, but I need a special sweeper and Jolteon needs to go. The EVs and Leftovers make it durable. I know the moveset set sucks but I need some thing that can special sweep. Plez tell me what you think. Thanx to any one who helps.
 
I don't think you need another special wall, bronzong and ludicolo are enough to take special attacks. Anyway, good luck using a special walling salamence with its 4x ice weakness and only average special defence. I hope this helped.
 
I see no synergy =_=... It looks like you've just thrown 2 Choice Banders, 1 wall, 1 sponge, 1 Wisher (Who functions better as a Vaporeon) and it looks like you wanted to use a Choice Band on Metagross, but, you went with Leftovers.

Your lead is standard, however, nothing on your team can take on most of the leads that cause it problems. Heatran for example has the potential to rip away at your team as a lead. Try replacing Ludicolo with something better, Blissey could do way more in that spot, hell, even Celebi.

Metagross needs major work. The moveset can't exactly define it as a "tank". Try some more supportive options such as Light Screen, Stealth Rock and Reflect over Bullet Punch. Since this thing's gonna be taking hits, it has no need to strike first. Also, the EVs let it take 2 of Garchomp's Earthquakes, but, what about what Meteor Mash does to Garchomp? I'm almost sure that it's a 3KO with those EVs and even if you finish it off with Bullet Punch, Metagross won't be able to explode easily.

Now, let's get to some threats.

Azelf as well as any other strong Special attacker have the biggest potential to rip your team apart.

Snorlax or Blissey would help cover that huge weakness up.

Also, do you know what a Special Wall is? Salamence has a better shot of a SpecsMence rather than what you call a "Special Wall".
 
Fist of all I want to clear something up, when I posted the Salamence suggestion I ment to put special sweeper not special wall, sorry about that. Next, SS4Azelf I see what you said about Metagross, I ditched Bullet Punch for Reflect seeing that my team could use a bit more defence. As for SR I already have Brozong setting that up. And lastly in regaurds to Metagross I didn't quite understand what you met by "Metagross won't be able to explode easily" please explain if you can. Moving on to Ludicolo, i've been thinking about replacing him with something with better defence. I would use Blissy, but it's defence even with max EVs isn't up to par with where it needs to be as a normal type poke. I do like the suggestion of Snorlax though, I will definately think about it thank you. Lastly thanks to every one who has helped me again I am still new at this. Thanx in advanced to any one who helps.
 
in general, i feel like you're using unpredictable, but subpar movesets all around.

explosion on bronzong is an interesting notion, but like alot of teams it seems you miss the point of him, he's a support player. he lacks the attack power to really use explosion, but it is unpredictable. light screen or reflect would work better IMO.

metagross doesn't function defensively nearly as well as he functions offensively, i'd completely drop him in favor of hippo or skarm for a physical tank position.

ludicolo: surf > hydro pump, look into grass knot for ttar, swampert/milotic, hippodown, rhyperior

jolteon is awesome but that moveset is just bad, needs more BP/Sub

u turn on cb ape? i'd go with stone edge. plus mixape is all around a better choice IMO, especially with another CBer already on your team...

CB gallade wants ice punch/close combat/psycho cut/night slash, always. xscissor is nice but the only the only thing it covers any better than night slash is celebi, so it seems redundant to me to have them both.
 
To Physics, in regaurds to your post, I like having Explosion on Bronzong in case i'm about to die. As for Metagross I see where your going with that so i'll look into replacing him. I droped Jolteon for a resttalk Swampert which works really well on shoddy. I don't like choice items so I replaced them with Life Orbs. With thoughs tweaks please RTM. Thanx in advanced to any one who helps.
 
About the rest-talking swampert: first of all you forgot the nature again, then you don't need hammer harm to lower your speed since avalanche has a negative priority (I would replace hammer harm with earthquake).
 
Haunterfan sorry about the natures I can never seem to remember to put them on, and good point on Swampert I fixed that, Thanx.
