My attempt at an Anti-Metagame team. It was already tested on PO and has done pretty well, except against sandstorm teams and baton pass teams.
Tentacruel is the lead, basically used to set up Toxic Spikes and Rapid Spin as necessary, but has trouble supportinf the team when it has to fight.
Reuniclus has done near perfectly, with enough bulk and calm mind power to be an amazing sweeper.
Chandelure is a standard scarfed revenge killer and it is pretty effective, except when an Excadrill outspeeds it in Sandstorm..
Virizion is the Physical Sweeper, and is doing very well. Its bulkier than Terrakion and harder to target with weaknesses but not as strong, but with one swords dance its strong enough to OHKO most things it needs to, its an amazing feeling when volcarona switches into a stone edge :D
Milotic is a bulky phazer but has trouble sometimes. Its orb activates marvel scale boosting its defense to great levels making it tough to KO but the burn damage really adds up and needs to be recovered. I'd say that this and Tentalcruel need to be majorly reexamined.
Gliscor is going to be changed, fling and acrobatics will probably become swords dance and sucstitute.
So please tell me any thoughts or suggestions (especially regarding Milotic and Tentacruel) and thanks for reading this!!
 
You shouldn't let your Pokemon hold gems. Reuniclus would appreciate a Life Orb boost more, and Virizion could benefit from Leftovers. The gems are one-use items anyways, right?
 
Also, Venoshock seems pointless on Tentactuel as a lead. He isn't poisoning anything directly, and could use a better coverage move like Ice Beam. It also clashes with Scald.
 
RMT rules said:
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.

Your descriptions are lacking, which means you are violating the above quoted RMT rule. If you wish to remedy this problem, explain your reasoning behind each Pokemon and why they work on your team more thoroughly. Try to aim for 3-4 sentences with your descriptions; the little sentences you have at the bottom of your thread aren't sufficient (also, put each description below their respective Pokemon's set). I recommend lurking through the RMT Archive in order to see examples of what we're looking for in an RMT! If you fix this problem, private message me indicating that you have done so. Once you've done that, I will unlock your thread.
