I have spent quite alot of time on this team but still would like all your opinions on it.


A Glance At The Team:

Tyranitar
Item:Chople berry
Ability:Sand Stream
Nature:sassy
Moves:
1.stealth rock
2.crunch
3.pursuit
4.superpower
EVs: 252HP/4ATK/252SPDef

Tyranitar is my lead and obvious weather inducer and also serves the purpose of a trapper keeping threats like Gengar,Espeon,Latios,Latias and more.The moveset i have chosen allows me to set up stealth rock and put the previous four threats as said earlier at bay via putting them into a checkmate position. Superpower is very helpful against opposing Tyranitar,Heatran and Terrakion.
Terrakion is why i have Chople berry on Tyranitar so i can take a Close Combat and smack it back with SuperPower.

Reuiniclus
Item:Leftovers
Ability:Magic Guard
Nature:Bold
Moves:
1.Calm mind
2.Recover
3.Psyshock
4.Focus Blast
EVs:
252HP/252Def/4SpDef

Reuniclus is my bulky special sweeper and has amazing synergy with Tyranitar as TTar sets up sandstrom to help it KO pokes and Reuniclus can take on the TTar checks most notibaly Conkeldurr. I use Psyshock over Psychic as i can take on pokemon like Blissey,Chansey and Virizion alot easier as i am hitting them through their Defense.

Heatran
Item:leftovers
Ability: FlashFire
Nature:Calm
Moves:
1.lava plume
2.roar
3.protect
4.toxic
EVs:252HP/248SpDef/8Spd

heatran is monsterous in offensive power and as a wall. this heatrans job is to eliminate scizor and ferrothorn and to cripple walls like blissey and finally to phase pokemon like DDnite. i use protect to great effect by scouting to see what kinda set each poke my opponment is running. toxic is there for walls like porygon2,Blissey.Roar for phasing.Lava Plume for a great STAB move which can burn and protect for scouting.

Landorus
Item:Expert Belt
Ability:Sand Force
Nature:Naive
Moves:
1.Earthquake
2.Stone Edge
3.U-turn
4.HP Ice
EVs:228ATK/252Spd/28SpAtk

Man i love expert belt landorus as it is an amazing bluff for the scarf so they switch in gliscor to an supossedly locked earthquake and then i HPIce them in the face. this is my physical attacker mainly there for gliscor and just to clean up late game.

Terrakion
Item:Choice Band
Ablitiy:Justified
Nature:Jolly
Moves:
1.Close Combat
2.Stone Edge
3.X-Scissor
4.Quick Attack
EVs:252Atk/252Spd/4HP

holy crap this thing is powerful with a choice band just being able to punch holes through practically everything. i have a jolly nature to outspeed opposing base 108s and quick attack is there to use as priority so i can finish off weakened sweepers like Nite. The Purpose of Terrakion on this team is simply to smack anything hard.

Celebi
Item:Leftover
Ability:Natural Cure
Nature:Bold
Moves:
1.giga drain
2.HP Fire
3.Twave
4.recover
EVs:252HP/220Def/36Spd

Celebi is here to get rid of my glaring water weakness and it fulfils its job perfectly being able to take on these bulky waters and even pokemon like scarf terrakion locked on to CC. i chose the defensive set as this gives celebi more logetivity and i already have a special sweaper in reuniclus so nasty plot was inferior to me.

so i hope you enjoyed reading this and would like to hear you thoughts, suggestions and replacements if any needed and remember all toasters:toast::toast:
 
Mamoswine pretty much ruins your team; every team member you have is either 2HKO'd or 1HKO'd by Earthquake and Ice Shard after Stealth Rock. You probably want to get rid of some of the EQ weaknesses you have.

Gastrodon is 2HKO'd by Earthquake, so that doesn't help much, although it would help a lot against Rotom-W.
 
"Mamoswine pretty much ruins your team; every team member you have is either 2HKO'd or 1HKO'd by Earthquake after Stealth Rock. You probably want to get rid of some of the EQ weaknesses you have." yeah i have considered replacing celebi with gastrodon for rotom-w and mamo

yeah i know what should i change about mamo
 
Hey,

This team is decent, but it looks rather weak to Gyarados and Mamoswine, as you don't have any pokemon that can take their attacks. A simple fix for this would be using Rotom-W instead of Landorus, as Landorus job isn't really necessary because Terrakion can break through most walls by itself already. Here's the set:

Rotom-W@Choice Scarf | Levitate
Timid Nature | 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Volt Switch / Hydro Pump / Hidden Power Ice / Trick


However, losing Landorus means taking down Gliscor and other physical walls is a bit harder for Terrakion, and it means that you will need more prediction to break stall teams than before. Something you may want to try is Substitute + Swords Dance Terrakion instead of your current set.

Terrakion@Rock Gem | Justified
Jolly Nature | 4 Hp / 252 ATk / 252 Spe
Swords Dance / Close Combat / Stone Edge / Substitute
