I hate hax Jirachi!

I have been playing Pokemon Online and Showdown for about half a year now, and i have experimented a lot, and have found Three main things : Dragon Dance Dragonite rocks, Scizor fits in literally almost every team, and Hax Jiraichi should not be in OU. he is such an Uber... Any ways, Any comments or Rates would be really appreciated! :D

Azelf @ Normal Gem
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 228 Atk / 28 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature
- Thunder
- Explosion
- Stealth Rock
- Taunt

Fast Lead who can taunt most switch in hazard users. Thunder is for lead Politoad. Stealth Rock is for teams especially weak to it, and Explosion + Normal Gem OHKOs most Pokemon on neutral. EVs give him a fast and powerful Explosion.


Tornadus (Tornadus-T) (M) @ Flying Gem
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Acrobatics
- Bulk Up
- Brick Break
- U-turn

Tornadus deals huge damage with Acrobatics + Flying Gem. it OHKOs almost everything on Neutral. Its a great Revenge killer. Bulk up is used when i know my opponent will switch or i just have an extra turn. Brick break is for coverage and U-Turn is for healing with Regenrator or just switching.

Starmie @ Water Gem
Trait: Natural Cure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Thunder bolt
- Rapid Spin

The oldest and most used Spinner and the only pokemon to stay in OU besides Gengar through every generation. I used to use Donphan, but since i now use Azelf, i don't need Donphans Stealth Rock. Life orb makes Starmies hp go down way to fast. Water Gem makes Surf deal huge damage on neutral, since Ice Beam and Thunder bolt tend to OHKO things that take them super-effectively. he can also quickly switch into status moves and then heal them with Natural Cure if he needs to.

Toxicroak @ Black Sludge
Trait: Dry Skin
EVs: 244 HP / 252 Atk / 12 Def
Adamant Nature
- Bulk Up
- Substitute
- Drain Punch
- Sucker Punch

An Anti-Rain/Anti-Fighting Type, Toxicroak saves my team from its huge weakness to Rain Physical attackers like Gyarados and if my team lost tornadus, Fighting types like Machamp and Gurdurr would dominate. Toxicroak can switch into any non-boosted Fighting type move with ease. and in rain, he is demonically hard to kill. Despite His stab being resisted by Gyarados, i just set up bulk up if Gyarados uses me as setup bait for Dragon Dance. Then when he decides to attack, Sucker Punch to the face. Sub is for when i force switches or i predict my opponent will underestimate his bulk.

Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 172 HP / 88 Def / 248 SDef
Calm Nature
- Wish
- Flamethrower
- Thunder Wave
- Toxic

She is a titanic special wall, and is great at giving pokes status effects. toxic for walls, thunder wave for sweepers. i used to use Sableye (with willo wisp) but i thought i may as well do both cripple pokes and be a special wall. he is also good for wish passing to heal Scizor and toxicroak. EVs are obvious. Forrestress and Ferrothorn and Swords Dance Scizor tend to make blissey there b*tch, but not with Flamethrower!

Scizor (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Technician
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Superpower
- Bullet Punch
- Roost

Standard Swords dance Scizor. Swords dance boosted bullet punch takes out lots of threats to my team, including Dragons. max speed lets him hit slower Heatrans with superpower for OHKO. i find Roost more useful than Bug Bite or U-Turn.

Sorry some of the Pokes dont have very long explanations, i just couldnt think of anything else. I have had huge problems with Metagross and Choice Scarf U-Turn Genesect. Any comments or Rates would be really appreciated! :D
 
I'll be honest. Your RMT looks really, really unsavory for the casual walk-by to rate right away.

Not only are you making a bad impression due to unclean resolution of your pictures of the Pokemon, but those pictures are also unrepresentative, and is thus confusing to anybody taking a look at this (you DON'T put in professor Oak in place of Starmie, nor do you rely on Pokememe to do your funny stuff).

Another thing is your description of the Pokemon in the team. WHY did you choose a specific Pokemon to use in here? WHY did you choose this or that Pokemon to accompany it? What problems do these Pokemon cover for you? Is there specific synergy in mind?

Even glancing at this thoroughly, I can see that the team lacks an initiative. The prime suspect is Toxicroak, who shouldn't even be used outside of rain teams in the first place. If you're not facing a rain team, then it's just a subpar Fighting-type that can easily be replaced by a more flexible alternative. This also brings up why Toxicroak is heavily investing in bulk in the first place. And this is only taking into account one of your Pokemon; you gotta describe what Blissey / Scizor / etc. is doing on this team.

This is also a self-question related to this team's lack of initiative: what goal is your team trying to achieve (besides beating the other team), and how do your Pokemon contribute to that goal? Is something trying to sweep? Stall?

Finally, it would be really helpful if you post a proper list of problem Pokemon your team has trouble against, and how this affects your overall battling performance.

tl;dr this could be a LOT better presented, taking both the RMT and the actual team into account. (also, if people aren't responding to this, it's probably for a good reason, and it's not in your best interest to bump).

For reference: RMT rules
