An old team that desperately needs a revamp

Hi this is my second ever time posting here and this is just an older team I made like just when the hidden ability staters came out so I'd appreciate ideas for it advice and I'm newer to competitive so just some tips on the game would help i know i feel a decent amount at least.

Inteleon @ Scope Lens
Ability: Sniper
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Snipe Shot
- Ice Beam
- Dark Pulse
- Focus Energy

Firstly we have the star or what was supposed to be Inteleon. Trying the team out again I had alot of fun with it, it's speedy and I feel even without crits it hits decently hard. It sweeps sometimes but is just so frail so doesn't stay around enough to utilize the varity it has which is needed. Really dont think there's much to say here and
while I'd still like the team to be centered around it I mean it can go. Its a really fun mon to play around with and outs a lot which in itself sounds great but it doesnt stay around to utilize that.



Tapu Koko @ Light Clay
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- U-turn
- Light Screen
- Reflect
- Taunt

To help with the frailness of inteleon and a bit of the team as well we have screen Tapu Koko. Taunt makes people dance and helps set up around defogers. There isn't much here either sort of self explanatory. I opt for u turn intead of volt switch bc of things like lando. Bc of synergy with regielki (even though not sure if its the world greatest synergy) I thought of terrain extender but just never went with it. A weakness policy user with screens would be nice for a better synergy with this really. It's basic it's to set up and I like it.


Regieleki @ Magnet
Ability: Transistor
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Rising Voltage
- Thunder Wave
- Ancient Power
- Volt Switch

This is the Regieleki here. I went for Modest and Magent bc i felt it never hit nearly hard enough. Ancient power is just for things i cant hit especially lando and i like to gamble. I went with this it was originally a sticky shuckle but i felt i needed another heavy hitter and needed speed control. Thunderwave has done close to nothing so far really I mean it's really good when it works obviously but i never seem to be able to take advantage of it. This is what i want gone the most like I hate it. It has zero variety and barely does what it's supposed to.


Toxtricity @ Choice Specs
Ability: Punk Rock
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Overdrive
- Sludge Wave
- Boomburst
- Volt Switch


Spectricty here I love this thing I swear. Boomburst hits so hard and has helped me sweep alot. Really I could run only that though and that'd be the extent of it though. Sludge wave love it against fairies espescially Clefable but Corviknight Lando Heatran and a lack of good hard switches with it that can also dealt with thinks like that on this team is just no, just doesnt exist. The biggest problem with it is, it's so so so slow. It dies to lando eq or anything eq and not much to do about that. I love it but can so be improved on.


Ok these next two are just unconventional asf.


Landorus-Therian (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- Rock Slide


Set up landorus instead of sui lead. It helps hit like a truck and knock off spam is great on it bc it helps some light dancing. Rock slide helps with corviknights that think they're safe, it hurts them just a little bit more. It is worse than set up defog really but i like hitting hard and knock off and rock slide is just really useful. And another downside its also kind of just like hit hard or die with it. It seems to really be knock off until it dies on this team. It helps a lot really but still its not much to look at here.



Mew @ Life Orb
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Psychic Fangs
- Drain Punch
- Flare Blitz
- Dragon Dance


And now d dance mew. This thing dies on impact 5 times out of 10. Drain punch is so useful on it not just for recovery with life orb but it takes care of things like heatran sooooo well. Psychic fangs for stab and maybe someday we'll get a good physical psychic move. Why would we every get or need it? idk. Flare Blitz because screw steel types that equals death here. Its kind of like the rest of the team it could be the poster boy of it. It's frail unconventional and unexpected and so much fun to sweep with. Its the complete type veriaty of the team tho.

All and all I really liked this team. Its a lot of fun especially was way back when but like it's pretty bad i think. I do really wanna keep Inteleon and/or Toxtricity but I also want the team to be more consistent and competitive so if they have to go I wouldn't mind I guess. I also thought of somehow adding Obstagoon for some reason idk I might've been tired then or something. The team is basically sweep or get sweeped and I really wanna revamp it. Thanks in advance for the help and here's the paste if you want it for some reason.

Hi, interesting team but sadly a lot of the mons are too outdated and the meta has evolved to where the team needs a bit of an overhaul.

So from the way the team is composed, I'm going to assume the main idea was a dual screens + set up spam, so I'm going to try keeping the same theme when recommending changes.

Major Changes:
:SS/regieleki:
Regieleki @ Light Clay
Ability: Transistor
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Rapid Spin
- Thunder Cage

I'm gonna suggest making Regieleki our screen setter due to its Speed. Being the fastest pokemon in the metagame ensures that you can set up screens. This set also tackles another problem in your team which was the lack of hazard control. The team you were using has no defogger or spinner and so this set also tackles that problem. Finally, I chose thunder cage as we want some form of Electric STAB in this team, and trapping opposing mons can be useful to ensure one of our set up sweepers can sweep late game.

:ss/garchomp: > :ss/Tapu Koko:
Garchomp @ Life Orb
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Fire Blast
- Draco Meteor
- Earthquake

Another problem in the team was the lack of a hazard setter, with this set you're able to not only set hazards but also cause huge damage to the opposing team. Fire Blast is nice for opposing Steel-types such as Skarmory, Ferrothorn, and a weakened Corviknight. I chose it over Tapu Koko as we needed to fill the role of a hazard setter and Tapu Koko was redundant due to Regieleki being our screens setter.

:ss/Azumarill: > :ss/Inteleon:
Azumarill @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Belly Drum
- Play Rough
- Aqua Jet
- Knock Off

I know you wanted to keep Inteleon and I tried to, but the team just wouldn't work and be as good as it could if I kept it. Instead, I choose another Water-type that's amazing under screens. Azumarill takes full advantage of screens and is near the top as a Pokemon that uses screens to its full potential. After Belly Drum there isn't much that can stop it, nothing more to add the set is standard and has really good coverage.

:SS/Bisharp: > :SS/Mew:
Bisharp @ Black Glasses
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Knock Off
- Iron Head
The Mew set was nice, though in the current metagame Bisharp is too good to pass up on. Having Knock off in itself is super useful as it allows you to remove boots from the opposing team and chip them down over time thanks to hazard damage. Bisharp also can win the 1v1 against Choice Specs Dragapult and prevents Psychic-type moves from being spammed against you.

:ss/Volcarona: > :ss/toxtricity:
Volcarona @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Quiver Dance
- Psychic
- Flamethrower
- Bug Buzz
Originally I wanted to use Tapu Lele, but it didn't work since we have so much priority in our team. I then felt that Volcarona would be a great choice, Volcarona is not only a great set up sweeper but thanks to its ability it can prevent threatening pokemon from switching in freely such as Rillaboom.

Minor changes
:ss/Landorus-therian:
Landorus-Therian (M) @ Soft Sand
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Rock Polish

I kept the idea of lando as a set up sweeper but tweaked it to double dance. I felt we didn't need Knock off as we already have Bisharp and Stone Edge would be more preferable thanks to its power.

Here is the final team: https://pokepast.es/44935cb33f923f0b

Sorry I couldn't keep ur original idea but hopefully you can test and see why I made the changes that I did

Good luck! and let me know if you have any questions
