Gen IV OU RMT

[MasterSalsa]

I have had moderate success with this team on Pokemon Online. I would like to improve upon it, if possible.

Machamp (M) @ Lum Berry
Trait: No Guard
EVs: 80 HP / 252 Atk / 176 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- DynamicPunch
- Ice Punch
- Payback

Machamp has worked great as an attacking lead. Good coverage, and DynamicPunch does heavy damage and automatic confusion to any neutral resistance.

Celebi @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 224 HP / 240 SAtk / 44 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Earth Power
- Leaf Storm
- Recover
- Thunder Wave

I'm not so sure about this guy. He is not really doing much for my team. I might not be using him correctly, but I would take him out.

Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def / 4 SAtk / 4 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Roar
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Beam

Swampert is tough to take down and nice to have. I would like to have Surf on here for convenience, but Ice Beam is invaluable and Earthquake can come in handy. Entry hazards definitely help.

Tyranitar (M) @ Liechi Berry
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 60 HP / 252 Atk / 196 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Aqua Tail
- Crunch
- Stone Edge
- Fire Punch

This guy's pretty strong. Definitely not great defensively, but offensively a good set. I would be willing to take him out.

Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Fire Punch
- Ice Punch
- Trick
- ThunderPunch

This is a fun set to play with. I can Trick the opponent on a Sub or Protect, then spam them with the elemental punches. Nice to have.

Lucario (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- Close Combat
- ExtremeSpeed
- Swords Dance

Lucario has been an invaluable late game sweeper. I have found that having both BP and ES on here is a little redundant, so I am looking to replace one or even both of those moves.

Besides the areas I specifically pointed out, I am entirely open to other suggestions. I am pretty new to competitive battling and movesets, so this team may look pretty dumb. I have noticed that this team is particularly weak to Water-oriented teams and Earthquake, so those are problem areas. Any contribution is appreciated! Thanks for reading!

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 are 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.

Take a look at the RMT archive to see what kind of descriptions we are looking for. PM me the fixed descriptions and I'll unlock this thread.
