Dedication

[En3gma]

Hi guys you may rember a few weeks ago i posted a team about me doing the National Anthem at my High School. Well i did it and it went really well i wasn't nervous at all and i would like to dedicate this team to evryone who helped me to get that gig yes it was a gig i got paid ten dollers i wasn't expecting money singing is one of my passions. Now to the team and thanks to Mr. Drummand the teacher who set this all up, Mr Wright my music teavher who helped me for weeks and took his thursday night to play piano in the backround to help me. And my family for their support. American Idol here i come.​

Team At A Glance​

Weavile @ Life Orb
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Pressure
Evs: 252 Spd/ 252 Atk/ 6 Def
~ Fake Out
~ Ice Punch
~ Ice Shard
~ Pursuit

This is my new lead Weavile she is one of the best leads i have ever had it takes out those annoying Aerodactyl and Azelf Leads. So what i do with her is first i use Fake out then i use ice punch or ice shard to kill the poke. Fake out is a great move it allows me to get rid of those sashes. Puruit is there for switch outs or people locked into attacks that are weak.

Scizor @ Choice Band
Evs 232 HP/ 252 ATK/ 26 Spd
Ability: Technician
~ Bullet Punch
~ Superpower
~ U-Turn
~ Pursuit

This is my Scizor i use him as a scout to see what moves my opponent has i scout by the use of the move U-Turn. The Move U-Turn causes a lot of damage to Celibi which sometimes gives me troubble. I gave it 36 speed Ev's to give it a little more speed. This thing has huge attack after Choice Band.

Swampart @ Leftovers
Nature: Bold
Ability: Torrent
Evs 240 HP/ 216 Def/ 52 SPATK/
~ Stealth Rock
~ Earthquake
~ Ice Beam
~ Roar

This is my Swampart he is my wall he sets up Stealth Rocks which is a nessity on any team. Ice Beam for Dragons and Earthquake for Heatran. Roar to scout Pokes and to add more damage with Stealth Rocks.

Flygon @ Choice Scarf
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Levitate
Evs 252 ATK/ 252 Spd/ 6 Def
~ Earthquake
~ Stone Edge
~ Outrage
~ Fire Blast

This is my Flygon to me it's the new Garchomp Earthquake for Heatran and other Fire Pokes Stone Edge for Gyrardos and Flying Pokes Outrage for STAB and Dragons and Fire Blast for steels Like Magnezone and Scizor. I gave it Choice Scarf so its faster then most pokemon.

Salamance @ Life Orb
Nature: Hasty
Ability: Intimidate
Evs 240 SPATK/ 252 Spd/ 16 ATK
~ Draco Metor
~ Outrage
~ Earthquake
~ Fire Blast

This is my Salamance it is a mixmance it is my wall breaker it OHKO"s Blissy and Dusknoir with Draco Meteor. Outrage for STAB and Dragons. Earthquake for Steels and Heatran. Fire Blast for other steels like Scizor. its Hasty to increase its speed it lowers its SPDEF which isn't needed. i gave it max speed evs because thats what is needed these days.

Zapdos @ Liechi Berry
Nature Timid
Ability Pressure
Evs 252 Spd/ 252 SPATK/ 6 Def
~ Thunderbolt
~ Substitute
~ Heat Wave
~ Toxic

This is my Zapdos what i do with him is i use toxic to poison something then Tbolt or Heat wave. The when they switch i use Substitute then my held item Liechi Berry is activated then i use one of my main attacks and procede to sweep.

 

[dizzleman22_main!]

On CBzor switch the EVs to 32 HP/252 Atk/224 Spe Adamant to outrun Jolly 252 Speed Tyranitars.

Also, Liechi Berry on ZAPDOS?
Are you kidding me? Liechi Berry raises attack.. yet Zapdos has no physical attacks. Switch to Petaya Berry or Salac Berry.
And also, run HP Grass over Substitute to take care of Swampert which walls this set.

Also, your Salamence DOES NOT OHKO BLISSEY WITH D. METEOR!

Maybe a typo? Well, yeah. Salamence doesn't OHKO Blissey with a Special Attack. Lol.
I personally think DDMence is much more threatening with Life Orb, 252 Atk/Spe and 4 Hp, with Dragon Dance>Draco Meteor and otherwise the same moves your set has.

Congrats on your singing.

Good luck at American Idol.. lol

Ok I'm going to be straight with you. There are some spots that need some fixing up so I'm going to change the team up a bit and it'll be fine after that. First off you're extremely weak to SubPetaya Empoleon. Once it sets up with Agility it can easily sweep your whole team. I'm going to find a way to eliminate that weakness later, but for now I'll address each area starting from the top.

Alright on Weavile I want to give it a new set that isn't going to have such a focus on offense like you were doing, basically a set designed to stop the opponent from setting up SR, especially since you're lacking a Spinner:

Weavile @ Focus Sash
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature (+Spe, -SAtk)
~ Fake Out
~ Taunt
~ Counter
~ Ice Punch / Ice Shard

Ok on this set it's for the most part similar to the set you were using but with some minor tweaks. For one you got Taunt to stop lead Pokemon from setting up rocks and Counter combined with Focus Sash to help you cause a potential OHKO against the opponent, possibly getting rid of one of their leads. Last slot depends on if you prefer more strength or you want priority.

Going along with Scizor I want you to run the following EV's: 200 HP / 252 Atk / 56 Spe. This will enable you to outrun minimum Speed Skarmory. Besides that the set looks fine. ^_^ For Swampert I want to change the spread up, going for more of an offensive variant:

Swampert @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 200 HP / 188 Def / 120 SpA
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spe)
~ Earthquake
~ Ice Beam
~ Hydro Pump
~ Stealth Rock

There are a few changes to this set. First off I changed the EV spread up so you can have more power behind your attacks, particularly special attacks, and switched to a Relaxed nature since you were using a Bold one and it weakens Earthquake a bit. Also dropped Roar for Hyrdo Pump which 2HKO's Skarmory along with a few other Pokemon. Surf is a possible option over Hydro Pump if you prefer accuracy. Continuing along it seems that Flygon and Salamence are playing redundant roles. Before I get further into that, I think Flygon needs a bit of changes. I'd drop Fire Blast for U-Turn for scouting purposes, and also run 80 HP / 252 Atk / 176 Spe EV's, setting your Speed at 420 which is reasonable enough and the extra HP EV's gives you a bit of bulk. As for Salamence I would consider replacing it with a Rest Talking Machamp because like I said earlier you're really weak to Empoleon and even though Zapdos can cause a great amount of damage with Thunderbolt it won't actually OHKO Empoleon unless Dos is running a special attacking EV spread. Anyways, take Salamence out like I suggested earlier and replace him with Machamp:

Machamp @ Leftovers
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
~ Dynamic Punch
~ Rest
~ Sleep Talk
~ Payback / Stone Edge / Ice Punch

Dynamic Punch is there for messing up your opponent with confusions and OHKO's that troublesome Empoleon. RestTalk combination for increased durability and allows Machamp to be sort of a physical wall for your team. You got a few options to work with on this spread. Payback for hitting annoyances like Gengar and Azelf, Stone Edge for Flying types who you otherwise couldn't cause decent damage to, or Ice Punch specifically for Gliscor's and also for Dragons too. There are other spreads you can alternatively use and if you want I can give them, it's up to you. ^_^

Lastly on Zapdos there are a few areas of concern. As already suggested by the user above me, Leichi Berry raises Attack, not Special Attack >_>. I''ll assume that you meant to use a Petaya Berry. Even so, it still isn't a good option for Zapdos. Leftovers is the better option in this particular situation. I'd definitely drop Toxic because it's only good for stalling purposes and your team isn't really built to efficiently stall. Use Roost instead so you can generally lengthen Zapdos's chances of surviving longer. Let me get into the actual moveset:

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 176 Spd / 80 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spe, -Atk)
~ Thunderbolt
~ Roost
~ Heat Wave
~ Hidden Power Grass / Hidden Power Ice

Here is a bulkier spread than what you were originally using. Trust me, in the long run this will do you good. I'm mainly referring towards mid-late game when you need a team member to clean up the opponents weakened Pokemon. Already explained the roles earlier, so no need to explain them against as to not sound so redundant. The last slot depends on if you fear Swampert more or if you fear Dragons/Grasses/Gliscor more.

Well I hope you consider these changes I suggested and if you need any extra help don't hesitate to ask. Best of luck with your team. ^_^

I think you should put Ice shard over Ice punch on Weavile. It hits aerodactyl first and OHKO's it (assuming you used fake out to take out his sash). It is also a nice stop to scarf flygon and more importantly DD salamence after he has KO'd a pokemon. With this set you will be able to more often stop stealth rock. Fake out -> Pursuit will always kill a sashed azelf and you are faster. Against Aerodactyl, while he normally would outspeed you, Fake Out -> Ice Shard will kill without you getting touched thanks to priority.

I also don't find roar very helpful on swampert, as he generally takes a big hit from whatever he's trying to roar out, and with its negative priority. I would suggest protect. I find it much more helpful for scouting, and can save against an explosion.

p.s. I run the same lead as you, except with Ice Shard over Ice Punch, and I find it much more useful than the 'anti lead' set on smogon.

I feel bad locking this considering how many helpful rates you have gotten, but...

This thread is now locked under Rule 3:

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.

Your descriptions don't tell a thing that your EV spreads and movesets don't already.

If you fix this up then PM me and I will unlock your thread.
