Hello and welcome to Smogon.

Even if your team idea is an HO (hyper-offense play style), you're lacking a entry hazard setter (especially the most important and the one that should be in any team: Stealth Rock). You're also using a team very weak to Stealth rock with no Rapid Spin support, this is asking for a disaster. Another issue your team have is that you're using a lot of slow Pokemon with no form of speed control, alongside 2 very bad OU Pokemon (Togekiss and Cloyster).

If you want to learn more about BW OU, you can ask questions about the metagame in the RoA Smogon Discord server: https://discord.gg/C8qBPrKX
You can also ask for a tutor to learn the tier in the Trainer School: https://www.smogon.com/forums/forums/battling-101.42/
Finally, we have a lot of information about old metagames in the Ruins of Alph sub-forum: https://www.smogon.com/forums/forums/ruins-of-alph.31/

Don't be afraid to post your ideas or to ask for advice (especially in RoA discord) since everyone started bad in this game. :D

i think u need a rapid spin qwq
It took me a second to see what you meant, but yeah. Rock is a major problem for the team and I’d recommend rapid spin about as heavily as you. I’ve never personally used it much because sandstorms kind of inherently don’t need as much coverage for it type-wise, but in a case like this, it’s vital.
Edit: upon further inspection, the rapid spin becomes even more necessary. HO, due to the inherent lack of defensive capability, would need to make a solid attempt to cover itself in ways other than bulk

Hi, welcome to Smogon! I am locking your RMT for the time being as the forum rules require that you provide at least three lines of descriptions for each Pokemon to explain their roles. Please read the rules carefully and look at Team Showcase to see the detail we require. PM me with updated descriptions, and I will be happy to unlock this.
