hello all! i'm fairly new to teambuilding and competitive pokemon in general. my ou rating is currently 1244 (dropped from 1300 cuz i struggled with the dlc drop xD) and i tried building a team with weezing and idk i just want feedback of what could be better and how i could improve the team. any feedback is appreciated!

so the reason lando-t is here is because of intimidate. i know tusk is better but i feel like lando puts in the work in terms of pivoting in and out with intimidate. so far he's been usefull in most my games and coincidentally i keep running into sd sets so lando goes crazy all the time.

Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- U-turn

unaware mon and generally a big addition to my team (in my opinion/cuz i won most games with dirge). in my playtesting, dirge has put in a lot of work with the power of torch song and spreading burn. picked up a lot of ko's with this mon and i think it's essential to the team.
Skeledirge @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Torch Song
- Will-O-Wisp
- Yawn
- Shadow Ball

drag just a generally good special attacker and for mind games with iron val. countless times have i ohko'd a tusk with this mon (generally just a bad play i guess from my enemy but still i think it's cuz the mindgames with iron val). i think the tera type could be better tho but i'm confused as what to change it to.
Dragapult @ Choice Specs
Ability: Infiltrator
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Hex
- Thunder
- U-turn

one of my favorite sweepers of all time (i prefer specs but i guess this team needed a phys sweeper). idk i put this mon in all my teams. i think for a beginner like me it's pretty braindead when you get a sd off while quark boosted and rocks haven't been removed.
Iron Valiant @ Booster Energy
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Spirit Break
- Close Combat
- Knock Off

i like weezing cuz of its ability and overall imo a good support mon that spreads burn to the enemy team. i was thinking of all the other support mons i could have picked but i wanted something other players wouldn't quite expect. defog kinda removes my hazards tho but still i wouldn't wanna remove this mon.

- Sludge Bomb

my 6th slot is what i'm still experimenting with cuz i've tried kingambit but after playtesting i think i needed another special mon in the team so i picked ghold. i think i could use some advice as to what my 6th slot mon should be. i'm thinking enamorous but there should be better mons.
Gholdengo @ Air Balloon

Skeledirge @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Torch Song
- Will-O-Wisp
- Hex
- Slack Off

I think having a more support oriented Skeledirge would be valuable to the team because Hex will take advantage of all the status you spread and Slack Off is general good longevity. I, personally, would run Pult with Shadow ball and then either Tbolt or Flamethrower instead of Hex. I think it gives you more consistent damage early game instead of relying on spreading status and then hitting hard. If you want to run gholdengo as 6th, you could run something unique like Psyshock as you already have ghost coverage.
 
Hi.... im late

anyway.. why not use misty seed sneasler instead of valiant? also if running specs drag i see where you're going with hex but shadow ball is better as jzszwa's Skeldirge set aready has hex on it and SPecs drag is supposed to be hitting hard. Tera Type i think should usually be ghost for the shadow balls, and thunder can be switched to thunderbolt if thunder accuracy hurts it.

thanks for the feedback! i was actually thinking of sneasler but just ended up with my ol' reliable valiant. i'll replace val with sneasler after a few playtesting with the new dirge set and drag suggestions
