i dont weep, i Sweep!

hi,
i have always been a fan of offensive teams, stall is just too much boring for me.
thats why i have been trying to build a good fair play team for a long time. (that means each has different items and without legendaries)
there have been many pokes that i tried, many combinations, and this team is what i like the most at this moment.
my team has couple flaws, or rather things am not sure of.
i will list everything below and i would appreciate your opinions.

i only use pokes that i like and not what is strong. if they are cool enough, they are in



Team ex-members
as i already said, there have been many pokes i tried. i will just list a few that deserve mentioning...

machamp has been with me a long time, and maybe one day he will return, but not right now. i liked him cos hes one of the original 150 pokemons and his new ability 'no guard' really kick ass.

gengar, one of my favorites. i can say the same about him as machamp. simply cool and first ghost ever.

starmie, my favorite rapid spiner and dragon killer. right now my team is missing a spiner, but i said to myself, what the hell. i just need to play smart. if in next gen she gets volt-switch, then she is in, instead of the wash machine!

196.gif

sometimes i use her, instead of breloom. always the calm mind version, cos this is a sweeping team. she is too good and i really miss her. i kick her out cos not always she was helpful..., well 50/50.

he is the coolest dragon in my opinion, but he couldnt handle the sweeping tempo, so he was replaced with second coolest dragon, dragonite. rest in peace flygon...

376.gif

who here doesnt like metagross. unfortunately the team couldnt handle two steel types, and if i have to choose between him and scizor, i choose scizor anyday.

392.gif

fire monkey, oh yeah! if he could turn into super-saiyan that would be awesome. but he is too fragile, even with focus sash he can take out max one poke.

466.gif

i never liked electabuzz, but his evolution is something else. i used to use him as a combo with gyarados, but not many people fall for that. but there is only six spots in the team and i want my electric protection. maybe i should switch him back in? edge-quake is a bitch, so maybe not...



Team in detail

Ability: levitate @ choice scarf
EVs: 4 def / 252 spatk / 252 spe
Nature: modest
- volt-switch
-
hydro pump
-
hidden power (ice)
-
trick

i usually lead with rotom. i use him to keep the momentum in my favor. although i might be thinking to change him for something more beneficial. i choose him here just because he is best friend with scizor. rotom is my only special sweeper, the rest of the team are physical attackers, which might look to all of you like a stupid idea, but i figured physical walls are easier to deal with than special walls. i use the scarf set to avoid getting hit as much as possible. i tried a pain split rotom, but he didnt fit in the team. they are probably more useful in stall teams.

Ability: technician @ choice band
EVs: 248 hp / 252 atk / 8 spe
Nature: adamant
-
u-turn
-
bullet punch
-
superpower
-
pursuit

i use him in all my teams. when the pokemon mania started, my favorite guy was scyther. i really loved that ninja bug and when he later evolved into scizor, i couldnt believe how much cooloer he have became. it is a shame he lost his speed after the evolution, but that doesnt matter with a priority move bullet punch. simply awsome. am using the classic choice band set, cos thats probably the best one around. with great prediction, its a killer.

Ability: flash fire @ air balloon
EVs: 4 hp / 252 atk / 252 spe
Nature: jolly
-
flare blitz
-
wild charge
-
close combat
-
extremespeed

in sun teams, grass pokes usually carry grass atacks and hp (fire), so rotom and scizor would be in big trouble. but thanks to arcanine that can be changed. he is not very strong, there might be better fire pokes out there than arcanine, but i really like his design and he is one of the original 150 pokemons. i gave him air balloon to help him survive ground attacks little bit. with extremespeed he is together with scizor, dragonite and rotom a good revenge killer.

Ability: moxie @ leftovers
EVs: 152 hp / 72 atk / 96 def / 188 spe
Nature: adamant
-
dragon dance
-
watefall
-
ice fang
-
earthquake (main option) / bounce (second option)

here we have my great sweeper. this thing have won me many games just after one dragon dance. even max speed starmie wont outspeed him. jolteon is a threat, unless i have at least 2 DDs on gyarados. once moxie kicks in, there is little that can stop him. am using the bulky DD set for survivability. am not really sure whether to use earthquake or bounce here. earthquake has good coverage, but bounce has 30% chance to paralize, which helped me alot in the past. also not sure about his item. status destroys him, but so it does to dragonite. who would benefit from lum berry or leftovers the most? gyarados or dragonite?


149.gif


Ability: multiscale @ lum berry
EVs: 252 atk / 4 def / 252 spe
Nature: adamant
-
dragon dance
-
dragon claw
-
extremespeed
-
fire punch

what, another sweeper? well, yes... a dragon with multiscale is always helpful. i never really understood how his little wings could carry his big fat body, but maybe thats the reason he is slower than most of the dragons. i bring him out most of the time at the end to clean up everything, but if there is an opportunity to set up, he will see the light out of his pokeball sooner than expected. the same as with gyarados, usualy one DD is enough to sweep, seeing how many revenge killers i have, he can finish pokes with extremespeed himself. am not a big fan of outrage, cos i like to have control what kind of move i want to use next. thats why i dont have a rapid spiner in the team. i try to play smart and carefull, taking into acount every possibility. yes, sometimes i make a mistake and pay deeply for it, but nobody is perfect, and neither is this team

Ability: toxic heal @ toxic orb
EVs: 252 atk / 4 def / 252 spe
Nature: jolly
-
spore
-
substitute
-
seed bomb
-
drain punch

the most replaceable poke in my team. he helps me absorb some electric attacks but it might not be enough. i like him cos hes a mushroom :) with access to spore and toxic heal, he is quite an opponent. i gave him max speed to make sure i put them to sleep before he gets KOed. like this i can outspeed many pokes and then just kill them from behind a substitute. but seriously i think i should change him. but for what?



thats all for my RMT. if you read everything and want to help me out, please leave a comment
 
Hey there, this is a good start for your team but i have a few suggestions. first replace Arcanine with an offensive Heatran as your team does not have hazards so he can set up stealth rocks with your team needs to effectively use volturn. Heatran can pack just as big of a punch as Arcanine plus walls sun for better than Arcanine. secondly i realy dont see the ponit in gyarados try replacing it with a rapid spin Starmie as it can spin away rocks that break Dnite's multiscale plus helps preserve your Volturn core.

Heatran @ life orb
Ability: Flash fire
252 sp.atk/252 spe/4 sp.def
-Stealth rock

-Earth power
-Hidden power ice

Starmie @ life orb
