Burn first, kick arse later

This team puts a bit of emphasis on softening my opponents up with will-o-wisp then crushing with lategame sweepers.

Just saying

I'm really only noting your Garchomp's Evs as right now most randomly Ice Beams will kill him. For the Salac Berry set you use 76atk/252speed/182spdef that 182 spdef is pretty important in surviving those Ice Beams.
 
I like you you spell arse arse

You have a Heatran weakness. Empoleon can only come in so many times on Spikes taking Earth Powers, with no recovery. I suggest possibly making it Sleep Talk, or replacing it.
 
I like CurseLax over Empoleon for this team. Better special wall, even tho it can't exactly switch into SpecsMence, neither can Empoleon without Rest and Snorlax gives you an excellent Heatran counter who is more dangerous, plus something to sweep late game if Garchomp fails. Yache berry on Chomp BTW.
 
I would prefer to swap empoleon for curselax than use restalk( I refuse to use restalk no matter what).


Yache berry on Chomp BTW
I considered that but thought against it, sure I would get more power, but I probably would get outsped and killed with garchomps health so low.

Im glad nobodys complained about rapidash yet, when I posted a team with rapidash in back on serebii they were like "you cannot use it.....because".
 
Actually something fun and badass you can do is change out Rapidash with a Will-O-Wisp Gardevoir, who with Trace, covers the aforementioned Heatran, and helps deal with other stuff such as Gyarados and what not. More importantly it can Wish and resists fighting for you.

For the second part, we can move out Claydol for TORKOAL. It still Rapid Spins, and it Will-O-Wisps as well. =]

Actually thats a great idea, infact I like this idea so much I have to say, FUCK YEAH! (good thing I trained a torkoal a while back).

Why? rest talk sets can be quite surprising and strong. You have a 1:3 chance of getting an attacking move and you get switch him in to common Hypnosis and Sleep Powder users such as Gengar and Tangrowth the latter of which hates an Ice Beam from Empoleon. I actually think that the Rest Talking Empoleon is the better choice...

Thats just it 1:3 I wont take a risk that big. I have used restalk before and it always ended in disaster, I am incredibly unlucky so I have to compensate for it.
Also they really are not surprising anymore.
 
Garchomp is too slow for a late game clean up sweep.LO Lucario with extremespeed would really work better
Which ones LO? I really have trouble keeping up with these letters.
Oh wait got it. Didnt remember it as it just got added, well I certainly will use that (especially since lucario os one of my favorite new pokemon).
 
Even if you aren't into the idea of rest having a Wall/ Phazer without decent recovery isn't going to last to long. As for Yan I think that it would do better with a Life Orb and Protect w/Speed Boost so it's not locked into one attack and is guarantied a speedy sweeper. You'll wind up getting more power and more speed. Besides with Yan's mediocre defenses and horrid typing it won't last long enough to take to much advantage of Tinted Lens. If you loss your spinner and SR is in play Yan takes a staggering 50% every time that it switches in.
