The reason I have become so fond of this team is mainly because of Gloria(Hppowdon) and Kyle(Quagsire).The whole team is reall based around their ability to wall and take a copious amount of damage. Though they might not hit hard they can take a hit and the damage they do is better than none at all.

gloria (Hippowdon) (F) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Sassy Nature
- Slack Off
- Ice Fang
- Earthquake
- Stockpile
Gloria is my tank for anything besides water. I start off with a stockpiling up to x3-unless they manage to get me down by then, that being that case i would use slack off and then proceed to stockpile. Once i get to three however, i can really take any blow ice fang gets rid of the dragons slowly but surely and earthquake is just a great stab. I ended choosing a lum berry over leftovers because usually it was a poison or a burn that killed gloria not an attack and lum makes sure that wont happen. finally him bringing out sandstorm is really detrimental to any terrain team. the only purpose for it is so no stupid terrain team can set up and so my stoutland gets a speed bonus!

richard (Politoed) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Ice Beam
- Scald
- Protect
- Hypnosis
Now onto Richard. Richard is another pokemon on my team whos sole purpose is to mess with terrain teams. Usually with Gloria and Richard to terrain team can keep up. His move pool is pretty standard i feel like. Scald is the major stab, ice beam for dragons, protect for "oh crap" moments and hypnosis so i can wear down an enemy.besides that i just like having a frog on my team..whats cooler than a frog??

barrack (Stoutland) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Naughty Nature
- Return
- Ice Fang
- Superpower
- Fire Fang
My sweeper-A.K.A Barrack- is stoutland. I've always been a huge fan of this pokemon since i started showdown so there was no way i couldn't include him! Sand rush for the chance that Gloria set it up that way i can outspeed anything(usually though Barrack is faster anyway). Return is a great sweeping move. I can usually one hit just about anything with it! The only real problem i have is with steal types but usually i wear those down with Gloria. ice fang for dragons and fire fang for grass-though i am thinking of switching it to a electric move for safe precaution. Umm besides that Barrack speaks for himself.

kyle (Quagsire) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Unaware
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SDef
Sassy Nature
- Stockpile
- Curse
- Recover
- Scald
Kyle:my second great wall, is pretty much not effected by anything except grass. So as long as i can keep away from the grass types(which are not commonly used) Im safe. I use stockpile x3 and then i curse until my defense is maxed and my attack is x5.. After i get these stats even grass type moves fail to one hit me. The only issue with Kyle is his inability to do damage. Scald is awesome against most things(especially with x5 attack) but waiting for a burn to take someone out can sometimes be painstakingly boring. I promise though he wont die and eventually you will wear them down with scald. I again gave him lum berry so he cant be poisoned or burned.

larry (Breloom) (M) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Hasty Nature
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Spore
- Energy Ball
Larry is next on the list of sweepers. I must admit that i have fallen in love with his ability to heal himself. With poison heal and toxic orb as my item i regain health very quickly! even faster if i can get a spore off and then drain punch the enemy down. So really a sweeper that can heal himself without wasting moves is the best sweeper in my opinion and that's exactly what Larry does!

patrick (Starmie) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Mild Nature
- Recover
- Thunderbolt
- Surf
- Psychic
Finally Patrick(yes, i got the name from spongebob), what a great sweeper! hes super fast and hits super hard! He can use electric and water moves(gotta love that) and he can heal himself! Natural cure to get rid of anything such as poison or burn and psychic as a stab when nothing else is working. I am thinking of switching thunderbolt for thunder but im not quite sure so any opinions would be great!
Well that really sums up my team! please leave me suggestions! I understand that this team may have some holes that need to be patched and i would love the advice on how to patch them!:)
