Go Salamence! Rate my team please

[peadawg14]

This team is centered around spike/toxic damage and weakening my opponent in order to get a Salamence a sweep.


Roserade @ Focus Sash
Natural Cure
Timid
4 hp / 252 special attack / 252 speed
HP fire
Stun Spore
Spikes
Energy Ball

Roserade sets up spikes and keep swampert/other grounds in check. This is a great lead.


Slowbrow @ leftovers
Bold
Own Tempo
252 Hp / 252 def
Slack off
Calm Mind
Psychic
Surf

Defenseive wall. this help counter nape/machamp/other fighters...he takes Dynamic Punch like a maCHAMP! lol! it covers Blissey's fighting weakness and salamence's ice weakness pretty well.


Blissey @ leftovers
Natural Cure
Bold
252 hp / 252 def / 4 spD
Aeromtherapy
Seismic Toss
Softboiled
Toxic

Special wall. Team support w/ Aeromatherapy and toxic. I switch her in on bulky waters especially and take their toxic, toxic right back and stall.

Scizor @ choice band/Life Orb(so I don't get stuck on one move if a magnezone comes in)
Adament
252 hp / 252 attack
Pursuit
U-turn
Superpower
Bullet Punch

This guy is easily best physical attacker in the game! He helps get rid of ice pokemon that would threaten Salamence.


MixNape @ life orb
Naive
252 speed/200 special attack/52 attack
Close Combat
Grass Knot
HP Ice
Flaemthrower

This guy's a great wallbreaker. He keeps Blissey/T-Tar/Snorlax in check. He's gets fellow dragons out of the way. He also gets rid of Swampert.


Salamence @ leftovers
Jolly
252 hp / 180 def / 78 speed
Roost
DD
Dragon Claw
Earthquake

I absolutely love this guy! Good check for fighters and physical attackers like Scizor. Set up DD on the switch(maybe 2), Roost, and sweep.


I think I have pretty good team synergy. It's done pretty good so far, but I have a weakness to DD Gyarados. I would like to fit a Stealth Rock in somewhere. Any suggestions?

HaHa! I forgot my 6th pokemon.

I have a:
MixNape @ life orb
Naive
252 speed/200 special attack/52 attack
Close Combat
Grass Knot
HP Ice
Flaemthrower

This guy's a great wallbreaker. He keeps Blissey/T-Tar/Snorlax in check. He's gets fellow dragons out of the way. He also gets rid of Swampert.


Sorry I forgot him!

^What this fine sir said. To sweep with a bulky Salamence you need a Magnezone or otherwise Skarmory and Bronzong would wall that set. I suggest you try out this set:

Magnezone @ Leftovers
156 HP / 252 SAtk / 100 Spd
Modest
Magnet Pull
- Subsitute
- Thunderbolt
- Magnet Rise
- Hidden Power Grass

With HP grass and Thunderbolt he can also take down bulky water who would also wall this set and Skarmory/Bronzong have no answer to it. :3 (minus Shed Shell)


Damn my slowness, stupid itouch post. :/

Your offensive core gets destroyed by Offensive Zapdos with HP Ice, Scarf Heatran with Fire Blast, HP Ice and Earth Power and DD gyarados hurts your team as well.
Change Stun Spore to Sleep Powder and Energy Ball to Leaf Storm. Also swap spikes for toxic spikes as it is quicker to set up

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.
