Hello there!

Before I say anything, just a friendly reminder that it's best to use the Import/Export format from Pokèmon Showdown! Or Pokèmon Online. Also, just for next time, don't forget that the rules state you must have at least 3 lines of text explaining why you chose that particular Pokemon. Anyway, to the rating! ^.^~

You could try running U-Turn on the Scizor instead of Knock Off. Also, run Technician instead of Light Metal. A Technician Scizor with max investment is more powerful then a Mega-Scizor with max investment. Just in case you need to finish something off with Bullet Punch, it'll give you that extra power.

With the Gengar, try running a Sub + Pain Split + Orb combo. The idea behind this is you lose HP from the Substitute and the Orb, but then using Pain Split, you're able to get most of your health back (as well as your opponent losing health). Don't forget to switch the Black Sludge with Life Orb.

If you're running Pain Split on Rotom-W, don't run Leftovers. The Leftovers gains you HP, which you don't want if you're planning to use Pain Split.

I hope you find my suggestions useful! Good luck with the team and thanks for reading!~

Hello,

Unfortunately I am going to have to lock this thread for not having descriptions. Descriptions are really useful to raters, allowing them insight into why you chose that Pokemon or what role it plays on your team, letting them make more informed and better rates.

Feel free to PM me your descriptions and I will happily unlock this thread for you.
