Swampert / Relaxed/ Torrent
@Leftovers
-Roar
-Earthquake
-Ice Beam
-Stealth Rock
Evs: 252 hp / 252 def / 4 Sp.def
Swampert is my starter to set up Stealth rocks mainly. It has been doing well in doing that except when its either taunted or is killed by grass move. other then that Swampert does what he needs to do which is set up the rocks and do some damage to my opponent before it gets K-O. His stab eathquake comes in handy. i really like having roar on him for when my opponent sets up. i have witnessed some ppl not seeing roar coming. in my opinon swampert is a really good pokemon on the team.

Politoed / Calm / Drizzle
@Leftovers
-Hypnosis
-Perish Song
-Ice Beam
-Scald
Evs: 252 hp / 252 sp.def / 4 def
Of course Politoed has to be on the team. I made him a sp. def wall because there arent many eletric,or grass type physical moves ppl use in battling. he has been doing really good. i know that hypnosis isnt very Accurate, but when it works it comes in handy, and it has been working alot. I love perish song on him because it forces my opponent to either switch out or get killed. it works well when my opponent is setting up with swords dance or watever. he works well in the team, but the only bad thing about him imo is his speed being slow because i've had different situations where having higher speed would've had him kill the other poke, but he was killed.

Vaporeon / Bold /Water Absord(will have Hydration)
@Leftovers or Red card
-Toxic
-Scald
-Protect
-Wish
Evs: 252 hp / 252 def / 4 sp.def
Vaporeon is just a big stalwall. i like having the ability to heal my other pokemon as well. it has toxic for other walls, and Protect and Wish for stalling/healing purposes. it has scald for the stab water move and the chances of burn. Vaporeon has done well. for example, it can take Grass/Electric moves like a champ and survive them. Like i said before the ability to heal my other pokemon is really good. the only thing i dislike about her is not having hydration, but when/if i ever get one with hydration i will make the switch.

Toxicroak / Adamant / Dry Skin
@ Black Sludge
-Drain Punch
-Sucker Punch
-Bulk Up
-Substitute
Evs: 252 atk / 252 Speed / 4 def
Toxicroak is just super annoying with drain punch, dry skin, and black sludge. He is also a good sweeper. i havent had a probalm with him yet.
he does what he needs to do which is sweep. sucker punch has been doing alot for me. for example, when drain punch doesnt kill the other pokemon sucker punch finishes it off. The only bad thing is one good phychic will kill it. which has happened, but what can you do about it?

Jirachi / Docile(couldn't get the right one sadly / Serene Grace
@Leftovers
-Protect
-Wish
-Ice punch
-Iron head
Evs: 252 hp / 252 sp.def / 4 def
i like having Jirachi on the team alot. the rain also takes away damage from fire moves which is very nice. Just like Vaporeon it has the ability to heal other pokemon on my team which is awesome. serene grace is also very annoying when i either flinch or freeze the other pokemon. Jirachi has won me games just by Flinching the other pokemon until it was killed. The only thing i dont like is its ground weakness since earthquake is everywhere.

Scizor / Adamant / Technician
@Life Orb
-Swords dance
-Bullet Punch
-Brick Break
-Big Bite
Evs: 252 atk / 252 def / 4 Sp. def
Scizor is just an awesome sweeper. The rain also takes away some damaged from fire which is really good. so i set up swords dance and just go to town. that is basically all there is to him is him sweeping.

so this is my first RMT. plz tell me what you think, and leave comments on what you think i should change
 
This team is not bad.
I dislike Swampert, so I have no expierience with him, but I know the set is the standard so its good enough for me.

For Politoed, if you are going to run Perish Song the way you are, I would recommend running Protect over Ice Bream. This lets another turn run down on the counter and also gives you an extra turn of leftovers healing.

For Vaporeon, I would really recommend getting Hydration as soon as possible because it is a better ability and you also have a water immune on Toxicroak. I would recommend this set.
Vaporeon @ Red Card
Ability-Hydration
Nature- Bold
EV's- 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 SDef
1. Rest
2. Toxic
3. Hydro Pump
4. Ice Beam
The red card is an item that I have been playing around with lately, and while I have not tried it on Vaporeon, I think that it could work very well. Rest with recovery at the end of the turn, Toxic for stalling, Hydro Pump for power and Ice Beam for coverage.

Toxicroak looks like the normal set, although if you are not running item clause, then I would recommend leftovers over Black Sludge because the chance of it getting tricked back onto another of your pokemon is dangerous and deadly.

For Jiracahi, I would try to get a different nature, but ignoring that, I would really recommend running Body Slam over Ice Punch. Ice Punch's freeze is too rare to be worthwhile, while with Body Slam paralyzing 60% of the time, you can easily paraflinch something to death. That and also because your sweepers are not the quickest pokemon out there (Toxicroak and Scizor) and the speed drop and the chance of not moving can lead to a sweep.

Scizor's set is fine, the only recommendation I can make is to switch the 252 Def Ev's to HP to give you more coverage on both sides of the spectrum.

Overall, a good job.
 
ok cool thx
i'll make those changes as soon as possible
the only reason jirachi and vaporeon have the wrong nature or ability is because i couldnt get them until later :(
