I know that there are some oddities in my team...

Ditto @ Quick Powder
252 HP/252 Speed/ 4 Def
Timid
Limber

Transform

Basically he's my lead pokemon.


Hippowdon @ Leftovers
252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 Atk
Impish
Sand stream

Earthquake
Ice Fang
Roar
Slack Off

This guy is supposed to come out once the rest of my team is annihilated. I'm going for Ice fang, but Fire fang hits pesky Bronzong.


Pikachu @ Light Ball
252 Speed/ 104 SpAtk/ 152 Atk
Hasty
Static

Volt Tackle
Brick Break
Grass Knot
Substitute

This is my mixed sweeper. The main reason I have my sub passing Vaporeon is so this little guy will live long enough to get in a kill or two.


Dragonite @ Lum Berry/ Yache Berry
252 Atk/ 200 Speed/ 56 HP
Jolly
Inner Focus

Outrage
Earthquake
Fire Punch
Dragon Dance

This is my zero imagination physical sweeper. He'll come out late game.

Porygon-Z @ Life Orb
252 SpAtk/ 252 Speed/ 6 HP
Timid
Adaptability

Tri Attack
Ice Beam
Dark Pulse
Nasty Plot

Following in the steps of my Dragonite, this is my zero imagination special sweeper.


Vaporeon @ Leftovers
188 HP / 252 Def / 68 SpA
Bold
Water Absorb

Surf
Substitute
Baton Pass
Acid Armor/Ice beam (I'm leaning in favor of acid armor)

As I stated earlier, this is my sub passer. If by any freak chance my Ditto is still alive later in the game I'll use this to get it in comfortably. Other than that it's here to help my Pikachu that's made of glass. I could also use this to give my Dragonite a sub letting it get off a few Dragon Dances.

Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
 
my first advice is to replace ditto, he could in theory be effective but most things you will be copying will have higher base hp than ditto making him utterly useless
 
Umm Ditto is excellent with the exception of Mach Punch Breloom, Ice Shard Weavile, leading Scarf pokes like ScarfGengar who can Hypnosis, SpecsMence will Draco Meteor, OHKOing as you become dragon or if you stay normal anyways. My point being, don't use it as a lead! Bring it out against a sweeper late game to sweep.
 
Thanks. I'll go ahead and give my pika Focus Punch, and ditto shall come out later with a little help from vaporeon. If I do that which Pokemon shall become my lead?
 
I don't like the idea of Hippowdon on a team that doesn't benefit at all from sandstorm. Also, you lack a special wall. Consider replacing Hippowdon with some sort of special wall.
 
If you're playing this in ou, I would suggest hp ice over grass knot because you have more chance of running in to dragons amidst your pikasweep and they will try to rain on your parade.

Yeah, I'm a Pika user too. SO Pika fTW
 
lets take a look at the 10 most common leads :

1. Gyarados - Dd'd and koed by stone edge

2. Gengar - put to sleep or koed by focus blast.

3. Bronzong - put to sleep

4. T-tar - Dd'd or sub then killed by focus punch or EQ

5. Salamence - Draco meteo for the 1 hit ko

6. Hippo - proceeds to set up SR and switches out to something.

7. ninjask - gets a free sub and SD in, baton passes.

8. yanmega - put to sleep

9. Abomasnow - Yeah he just switches

10. Weavile - ko'd by brick break or Gets a free SD and kills you 50% pf the time


Lose ditto and use maybe a gengar as your lead, give pikachu focus punch aswell he has HUGE guns, and give him thunderbolt because sub + volt tackle = suicide
 
If you're using Hippo, stick Cradily in over Ditto. So then you actually benefit in some way from the sandstorm that otherwise damages your team.
