Abomasnow @ Expert Belt
Trait: Snow Warning
EV's: 252 atk / 144 sp.atk / 112 spd
Lonely Nature
-Blizzard
-Wood Hammer
-Hidden Power Fire
-Ice shard
Main team member of my team. He is there to set up hail and Revenge kill dragon types with ice shard. Blizzard,Iceshard, and wood hammer are certain for this set and HP fire is there to kill hose pesky Steel types.

Mamoswine @ Life Orb
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 atk / 252 hp / 4 spd
Adamant Nature
-Earthquake
-Ice shard
-SuperPower
-Stealth rock
Mamoswine is the stealth rocker of this team. He Gets the job done by revenge killing dragon types and OHKO a tyranitar with superpower. I was also thinking of doing jolly nature with 252 atk/252 spd / 4 Hp but i think adamant could work better. Maybe you guys could help me? :P

Kyurem-Black @Leftovers
Trait: Teravolt
EVs 216 atk / 236 spd / 56 hp
Lonely Nature
-DragonClaw
-Fusionbolt
-Icebeam
-Subsitute/Hidden power fire
This guy is a beast thats all i got to say, but I was thinking of giving Kyurem-Black Hidden power Fire instead of subsitute (Then switch leftovers with life orb) to kill those pesky steel types again but im not to sure.

Alakazam @ Focus sash
Trait:Magic guard
EVs 252 sp.atk / 252 spd / 4hp
Timid Nature
-ShadowBall
-Psychic
-Hiddenpower ice
-Focus Blast
My only special sweeper of this team. I putted Psychic over psyshock because i have 4 pokes that can cover the physical side.
DEFENSIVE CORES

Tentacruel @ Black Sludge
Trait: Rain dish
EVs: 252 hp / 240 def / 16 sdef
Bold Nature
-Scald
-Rapid spin
-Toxic spikes
-Protect
Here's my tentacruel. He's my rapid spinner, toxic spikes, special wall poke. I know that i really need a rapid spinner on my hail team+ and special wall so i chose him. The only reason i putted rain dish was just incase i was facing a rain team (And i guess thats the best ability for him)

Gliscor @ Toxic orb
Trait: Poison heal
EV's 252 hp / 184 def / 72 spd
Impish nature
-Earthquake
-Ice fang
-Subsitute
-Toxic
Here is my final teammate, Gliscor. He is the Physical wall of my team. I noticed that my team is pretty weak to steel,fighting and rock types so my gliscor is there to take the hits. I run 72 spd ev's to outspeed other gliscor's.
CONCLUSION
Well there you have it, my hail team. The biggest threats that i see are Choiceband scizor, Offensive volcarona (Once my tentacruel and kyurem-Black are dead), and Tyranitar. Other then that, i think this is a pretty solid team. Thanks for taking a look at my team and if you have suggestion on what to add/ take out, Please tell me^^
 
Cool team bro. I think the #1 thing your team needs is a Heatran. Heatran is amazing on hail teams, it covers the fire weakness, and can destroy scizor. I'd replace him over Mamoswine. You already have an offensive Abomasnow that can revenge kill dragons with Ice Shard. Now scizor can bullet punch as freely, and Tentacruel + Heatran + Gliscor is an amazing core.

I recomend this set.

Heatran (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 248 SDef / 4 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Lava Plume
- Stealth Rock
- Roar
- Protect

Stealth Rocks is obviously necessary, protect can help scout choice items, and damage opponent with hail. Lava Plume gets those nice burns, and roar can phaze out annoying pokes. You can also try out Toxic or Earth Power, but I like this set.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, i was thinking of putting in heatran too. Im going to try this set^^
 
Hey there.
Interesting team, it's a hail that I like very much, but I see a few weaknesses that I'll help to fill.

Threats:
Latias/Latios/Reuniclus/Alakazam: They are your main threats, I mean offensive versions, you are forced to let a pokemon die to come for revenge kill it after, then the opponent will obvsly switch to return after and continue,then they may come on Gliscor/Tentacruel/Kyurem-B .

Tornadus: It can easily be revenge kill, but it is a threat to your team, just because you hasn't nothing to tank a Hurricane, and it can easily come on Tentacruel-KyuB-Gliscor also.


Landorus: You tell me that you possess Abomasnow and Mamoswine, but the opponent can come to kill a pokemon and switch after, it can do a lot of damage and I think it is a big threat especially with Uturn.

Kyurem-B: you can't do anything against him, he can use Substitute and do a lot of damage, it can come on Gliscor-Tentacruel-Abomasnow to use Sub, and then even the version Scarf can be dangerous because it outspeed Alakazam.

Kyurem: It's simple, Tentacruel is a good check to Kyurem but with the rain, under the Hail the opponent can easily weaken Tentacruel to kill him, because he takes 30% on hydropump, then Ebelt version can be very dangerous for your team because it can lure Gliscor/Abomasnow/Kyurem-B.

Suggestions:
Now turn to suggestions, I suggest you put Jirachi specially defensive "252 HP/216 SpeDef/44 Atk" "Iron Head/Protect/Body slam/Wish" Alakazam, Jirachi is a very good pokemon for your team, it is already your single steel to hold easily Outrage/Dracometoer/Hurricane but it is also a very good counter to Latios/Latias/Reuniclus/Alakazam/Kyurem-B and can flinch + Para with Iron head + Body slam, then Jira has Wish to heal and so you're not afraid of Hail.
But you're still weak against Landorus, I suggest you swap Kyurem-B with Latias CM Defensive, why CM defensive?i'll explain you: you possess Gliscor to come directly to Terrakion but with the Hail it can easily weaken you because you do not have Protect and you take 40% on Stone edge,it can kill him easily, Latias Defensive is a good check to Terrakion because it takes 40 / 50% on Stone edge of the Choice Bander, then Latias is a good counter to Landorus-i/Keldeo because he tank well Hydropump/secret sword/Hp ice/Uturn, Now you can come directly and kill them, I noticed a small weakness to Ferrothorn, don't worry Latias is played with Hidden Power Fire for precisely lure Ferrothorn and kill him after a Calm mind, then you can also lure Scizor/Jirachi.


Latias (F) @ Leftovers

Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 224 Def / 32 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Dragon Pulse
- Calm Mind
- Recover

I hope I Helped and Good Luck with your team ;).
 
Hello,

You really need to add to some of these descriptions otherwise I will be forced to lock this thread. The recommended length is around 3 lines, so try to expand on the specific role each member plays on your team, and why you chose that specific moveset or EV spread.

I'll check back in around 24 or so hours to see if the descriptions have been buffed, otherwise I'll need to lock this thread.

EDIT: PM me descriptions to unlock this
