Um I am not that good at making teams. So, I could use the help. Thanks.

Infernape @ Focus Sash
dpmfa392.png

252 Att 252 Speed 4hp
Blaze Jolly nature

-Swords Dance
-Close Combat
-Thunderpunch
-Flare Blitz

It's not the greatest lead but it catches garydos by surprise. Focus sash is useful for gettin in swords dance.Hopefully Blaze kicks in as well so that flare blitz can reach full potential.It usually takes down atleast one pokemon before leaving.I could use help on the lead.

Cloyster@leftovers
dpmfa091.png

252 Def 168 Att 88 Hp
Shell Armour Impish nature
-Toxic Spikes
-Ice Shard
-Explosion
-Rapid Spin

Cloyster makes for a great physical wall. Ice shard is to get rid of any weak sweepers. Rapid spin makes waste of stealth rock. Explosion is saved for Blissey. Toxic spikes is a good setup if needed.

Yanmega@leftovers
dpmfa469.png

Speed Boost Timid nature
252 Speed 104Hp 152 Spa

-Substitute
-Bug Buzz
-Dream Eater
-Hypnosis

It's a variation from the standard and usually gets the job done. The hp evs give it a little boost for substitute and leftovers. The unique part of this Yanmega, I believe, is that it can last out for a while. Substitute prevents status conditions plus it takes a hit.

Pressure Impish Nature
252 Def 252 SpD 4Hp

-Willow Wisp
-Night shade
-Pain Split
-Protect

This pokemon makes a great wall. Pain split allows it to play catch up. Willow wisp weakens any physical pokemon.
Portect helps give me idea as to what the opponent plans to do plus it is a good combo with willow wisp. Night shade deals decent damadge.

Porygon Z @ Silk Scarf

Adaptability Modest Nature
252SpA 252 Speed 4Hp

-Hyper Beam
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Nasty Plot

A highly overused pokemon(like most of my others) and it makes for a very good special sweeper. Silk scarf, adaptability, natsy plot, and hper beam all add up to be 0hKO for that oversized Blissey. Ice Beam is for dragons and thunderbolt for Garydos and weak water pokemon.

Jirachi @ custap berry

252 SpA 252Speed 4Hp
Serene Grace Modest nature
-Psychic
-Thunderbolt
-U-Turn
-Wish

Sorry to say, but this is another common move set. Psychic for the STAB bonus. Thunderbolt for that slightly increased chance of paralysis and because it's good for waters. U-turn helps me switch out and makes a good combo with wish. He is a good support for the team.

I know there's always possible improvement for a team(especially mine) so please feel free to give suggestions or just say it's a nice team. Again, thank you.
 
Here's some advice: post your pokes something like this as an example:

jirachi @ custap bery
modest nature serene grace
252 spe atk/252 spd/ 4 hp
-psychic
-thunderbolt
-u-turn
-wish

analysis of why you chose this poke here


put a few spaces and write it like that so its easier to read. Also, the moderators will get mad at you and lock your thread, so make changes. Read the threads that the moderators post.
 
Cloyster@focus sash
252 Def 168 Att 88 Hp
Shell Armour Impish nature
-Toxic
-Spikes
-Ice Shard
-Explosion
-Rapid Spin

Cloyster has 5 moves.....
And i don't see why you want to give him Focus Sash, while you're also giving him HP and DEF EV's........
 
Infernape is in its own speed tier, so it never, ever, ever needs 252 speed evs....ever.

Yanmega should not have Dream Eater...nor should any poke in compedative battling unless there is no sleep clause. Give it Hp Ice.

Gahh there are so many problems with this team, those are the first two out of 50 that I noticed.
 
Ok thank you for the tips. Ye the reason there's so many problems is that this team is built to destroy mostly just inexperienced players.
 
First off....your inexperienced.

Infernape @ Focus Sash
252 Att 252 Speed 4hp EV's need to be changed

Yanmega@leftovers
Speed Boost Timid nature.....Speed Boost means Modest.
252 Speed 104Hp 152 Spa

-Substitute=Just no.
-Bug Buzz
-Dream Eater
-Hypnosis

Go with the Smogon Standard set for starters.

Yes, I know I am. Thank you very much for the detailed anaylysis. Hopefuly I will be able to make better teams in the future.
 
Where is the speed EVs tier? I need to read that again, I lost it. :\

Why not an elemental punch?

To nitpick,

Dusknoir has pressure, sky high defenses, and (coincidentally) becomes one of the best toxic-stallers in the game. When pumped up with special-defense EVs and a careful nature, it can stall out salamence draco meteor PP and other big moves with small PP. Dusknoir is one of the most helpful pokemon in the metagame for this, as it can stall out specs-shay PP very, very quickly. As almost his entire team is specs-shay weak, (with a life orb, nothing can switch in, except for dusky and PZ) dusknoir could be a helpful addition.

He can also use it to outstall some rapid spinners who'll come in on him. Which is great, because I feel like toxic spikes is vital. I don't know why.

I also feel like he doesn't realise this, but w/e.
 
One little rule of thumb: When you have something like Cloyster who has super-high defense, but awful HP; maxing HP EVs makes a MUCH bigger difference to defenses than maxing Def EVs. If you want to have the 168 Atk EVs, then take them out of Defense, never HP on Cloyster.

EV spread should be 252 HP/168 Atk/88 Def.
 
That's what the Infernape set should look like imo, reasons below:
Infernape @ Life Orb
Evs: 252 Att 252 Speed 4hp
Trait: Blaze
Adamant nature
-Swords Dance
-Mach Punch
-Thunderpunch
-Flare Blitz
Click to expand...
-Most thing that are weak to Close Combat will always switch out, and the ones that won't always outspeed and have something to Ohko you, meaning this is where Mach Punch is more useful on an SD Set (atleast that's what i think) .

-Cloyster is fine, don't have a problem with it, though it's a bit fragile to most of the physical attacks such as Stone Edge and Close Combat.

-Definetely remove dream eater from yanmega and use Air Slash instead . Instead of Substitute i suggest using Protect/HP Ground or even Roost since nobody is going to status yanmega while they can just, ohko it .

-I would go for Earthquake over protect on Dusknoir since it helps you deal against Infernape which otherwise will pose great problem to your team as of now .

-On jirachi imo use Thunder wave over Psychic . Paralyse can help your teammates a lot especially since you don't run a scarf user in there . Psychic while providing good STAB, it won't be as effective to Jirachi's most common switches.

Seems to me that a Mixed Mence aswell as an SD Garchomp would wreak this team since Cloyster doesn't have a way of healing itself and they can just hit and run it till it is on KO range.

Infernape is frail as hell, and those few extra EVs will NOT make a difference. If at any point whatsoever you run into another Infernape, you don't want to be slower than it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with maxing Speed on Infernape. Cloyster as a Rapid spinner is stupid, seeing as how it take 25% damage from SR. I should know, I tried using Torkoal...

Go Petaya on Yanmega if you're running Sub. Dream Eater is useless. I'd recommend Air Slash over it.

Common sets are common for a reason, being different for the sake of being different in a competitive environment. is stupid.
