Battle Tower/Frontier Team

[rayquazamaster776]

Posting this now so I'll have time to prepare before Platinum comes out.

@ Yache Berry
Naive
4 HP/252 Atk/252 Speed
Dragon Dance
Outrage
Fire Blast
EQ

Most "traditional" leads aren't very useful in 3-on-3, so I'm just leading off strong with Salamence. I shouldn't really have to explain this, because everyone already knows what it does.

@ Life Orb
Mild
84 Atk / 252 SpA / 172 Speed
Fire Blast
T-Bolt
Cross Chop
Rock Slide

Mixed sweeper. No HP because this is ingame, and I'm not spending all that time breeding for perfect IVs. The Attack EVs 2HKOs Bliss, SpAtk is maxed, and the rest is put in speed.

@ Lefties
Timid
4 HP/252 SpAtk/252 Speed
Psychic
Calm Mind
Shadow Ball/Signal Beam
Sub/Wish

Special sweeper. Espeon is rather fast, and CM both makes him stronger and increases his bulk. Psychic is STAB, Shadow Ball/Signal Beam is for what Psychic can't hit, and the last move is filler(I don't want to waste my Grass Knot TM, so don't suggest that).

Also, for the Battle Stage(1-on-1, pick type of opponent), should I use Mortar or this:

(Lv. 1) @ Sash
SCRAPPY!!!(VERY important)
Endeavor
Sucker Punch

Kanghaskan's huge advantage over other FEAR Pokemon is Scrappy, allowing him to hit Ghost-types with Endeavor. Weather and priority are this guy's only worry, as Sucker Punch won't out-priority other priority moves.

Thanks, and I hope to have this done by March 22!

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're 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.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

I also believe that you have no idea what you are doing judging by your team. I recommend you try the battle tower, or read how other people have dealt with the battle tower before attempting to build another team because stuff like CM Espeon is not going to work no matter how much you try
