Can't think of a title. RMT

Team at a glance:

[speed]

I have built this team around Infernape and Deoxys-S so that hopefully by mid game the threats to these 2 are dead leaving my opponents pokémon done for. Otherwise I'll just keep playing my game until its done. [hopefully]

So without any more introduction here is my team:

LEAD

@Leftovers
Adamant nature

Dragon Dance
Waterfall
Taunt
Earthquake

EVs: 212HP / 16 Atk / 164 Def / 116 Spd

Standered Bulky Gyara lead with 16 less EVs in HP and 16 more in speed to outspeed other Gyaras. The main purpose here is to DD as much as possible then Kill with Waterfall and Earthquake. If I have to I'll taunt so that anything they might switch in needs to set up to take him down.

Gyrados counter and sweeper

@Leftovers
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)

Recover
Grass Knot
Leech Seed
Reflect

EVs: 252 HP/216 Def/40 SDef



This is the standerad MixApe with the Sp Atk and Spd EVs switched for extra speed. This guy is my teams main wall breaker and sweeper. Unless I think that my opponent has nothing that can threaten Infernape I'll bring him in to reak some havoc.

MIXED SWEEPER

@Expert Belt
Hasty nature

Psychic
Super Power
Ice Beam
Thunder Bolt

EVs: 156 Atk / 252 Sp ATk / 100 Speed

Mixed Deoxys provides great coverage. He is my teams other main sweeper. Along with Infernape these 2 guys can reak some serious havok to those unpreaped [or the ones with the counters all dead whatever works]

GHOST KILLER, SPECIAL SWEEPER AND CLEANER

@Leftovers
Calm nature

Shadow Ball
Rest
Sleep Talk
Hidden Power [Fighting]

EVs: 252HP / 100 Def / 156 Sp Def

Spiritomb covers some weaknesses that my other team members have [mainly Deoxys] and takes some extra PP from my opponents. He is also my main Ghost killer. Not sure about the SleepTalk version though.

PHYSICAL WALL/CLEANER

@Leftovers
Impish nature

Earthquake
Aerial Ace
Taunt
Roost

EVs: 252HP / 252 Def / 4 Atk

Ability: Sand Veil

Great physical wall and along with Gyara a great Hera counter. Also serves as a "cleaner" meaning killing weakened foes. Gliscor can also take some physical hits and heal off the damage with Roost.

SPECIAL SWEEPER

@Leftovers
Bold nature

Thunder Bolt
Roost
Hidden Power [Ice]
Toxic

EVs: 252HP / 220 Def / 36 Speed

Serves as a great Cleaner and Toxic user. Zapdos is here to deal with some water types that give this team trouble. [naimly Starmi though Doexys can kill that] HP Ice for Dragons such as Garchomp and Toxic for breaking walls and helping me kill my opponents pokémon quicker.

Previous pokémon:

MIXED SWEEPER

@Expert Belt
Hasty nature

Flamethrower
Grass Knot
Close Combat
Nasty Plot

EVs: 252Spd / 232 Sp Atk / 24Atk

Replaced by Celebi

I strongly suggest you reconsider your Gyarados' HP to be replaced with the standard 384 number. This stat requires 212 EVs in HP, but repays you extensively with maximum Leftovers recovery. Outspeeding other Gyarados depends on whether or not they're using the bulkier Gyarados, and if they are not then your effort becomes incapable of functioning as originally planned. Now, this gets me onto my next point.

Gyarados commonly carry Stone Edge in their moveset, as I'm sure you're familar with. Evidently your team is in an understandable ammount of trouble when opposed by Gyarados who is equipped with Stone Edge. Unfortunately Gyarados can be called upon easily against all of your members (with the exeption of Zapdos and Deoxys), switching in against an attack or being brought forth after presumably you OHKO one of the opponents' other Pokemon. I can't quite seem to comprehend why we have both Infernape and Deoxys in the same team. Both are clearly mixed sweepers, who together share similar, frail defenses that are incapable of withstanding attacks at all. I strictly suggest we remove Infernape or Deoxys for Celebi, preferably Infernape as I personally prefer Deoxys as a mixed sweeper. Perhaps we should opt for Reflect, Recover, Grass Knot and Leech Seed, maximizing Celebi's onslaught on many opposing threats (such as Tyranitar, who fails to 2HKO the standard Celebi when Reflect is up). With this utilized addition, you're now more than capable of caring for Gyarados, without having to risk your own Deoxys' life. Here's the spread:

Celebi @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP/216 Def/40 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Recover
- Grass Knot
- Leech Seed
- Reflect

Finally, here's my last alternative: remove Taunt for Stealth Rock on Gliscor. Stealth Rock's amazing - that's a given, which I consider an understatement.

I've fixed Gyrados's EVs and put Stealth Rock on Gliscor.

I'll add Celebi over Infernape.

Thanks for the Tips Taylor.
