I set up on you - 1st RMT

PivotDream

Hello everyone. This is my first post on the forums, but I have been a fan for a while.

What I am hoping to achieve with this RMT:

- Some advice from the pro's. ;)
- Opinions on the team
- Suggestions for replacement

Here we go :)

AERODACTYL

Ability - Pressure
Nature - Jolly
EV's - 252 Att/252 Spe/4 Def
Item - Focus Sash

Moves
Stealth Rock Taunt
Earthquake Ice Fang

Pretty standard set except for the Ice Fang. The reasoning behind that is that almost nobody expects it and feels pretty safe switching in Dragon/Grass/Ground types. But the main Poke that Ice Fang takes care of is Gliscor.

CELEB

Ability - Natural Cure
Nature - Modest
EV's - 252 Sp.Att/36 Spe/220 HP
Item - Leftovers

Moves
Nasty Plot Giga Drain
Earth Power Hidden Power (Fire)

Again a standard Nasty Plot Celebi but with no Recover. For this set I sacrifice recover for a 3d Attack. My Idea was that Giga Drain will usually restore quite a bit of health especially with a few Nasty Plot's up anyway.

CONKELDURR

Ability - Guts
Nature - Adamant
EV's - 252 Att/136 Sp.Def/120 HP
Item - Leftovers

Moves
Bulk Up Drain Punch
Payback Mach Punch

I used to hate this guy, because every one who had him, usually destroyed me. So I started to use him myself ;p Theres not much to say, except that I chose to use Leftovers instead of Flame Orb. But I find that I almost always get statused anyway. Probably because they don't see the orb and assume he is Sheer Force or something? Don't know ;/

SALAMENCE

Ability - Intimidate
Nature - Jolly
EV's - 252 Att/252 Spe/4 Def
Item - Life Orb

Moves
Dragon Dance Outrage
Earthquake Flamethrower/Fire Blast

Nothing crazy, just a standard dancing Mence. I don't know much about him since I just started to use him, but I can DEFINITELY see a better option for this team.

SKARMORY

Ability - Keen Eye
Nature - Careful
EV's - 252 HP/252 Sp. Def/4 Def
Item - Leftovers

Moves
Taunt Spikes
Roost Whirlwind

Again, just started to use this and not really loving it. Used to use the grass/steel type thing, forget the name... (Recently started to play again, stopped around the time Platinum came out) And that did do better, but I felt like I needed a Whirlwinder on my team. Deff need a few suggestions on this.

CHANDELURE

Ability - Flash Fire
Nature - Timid
EV's - 252 Sp.Att/252 Spe/4 Sp.Def
Item - Choice Scarf

Moves
Psychic Hidden Power (Ice)
Shadow Ball Heat Wave

Quite a weird choice for a scarfer I know. But it is because of that, that I love this dude. Chandelure is probably the only "Novelty" poke on my team. I have gotten a ton of late game sweeps with him. I wish he had a better move pool though as he is completely walled by Ttar/Heatran etc.



I am hovering between rank 800 - 1200 on the PO server with this team. And I think I know the reason, this team has very little synergy, and as the "READING REQUIRED" posts say, that is important. So I'm just looking for some help here.

Thanks! :D

PS: Sorry about the English, it's not my first language.
 
I would expand your descriptions a bit before a mod comes and locks this.

otherwise i can see the issue with not enough synergy. HP fighting is usually the better choise on Chandy due to the fact that it can hit Heatran
 
or u could replace chandy with tran? gets ur fire weakness out of the way and is about 500 times better chandy. also, use naive on ddmence, with dd, outrage/dclaw, EQ, fire blast. u could try chomp, but mences speed boost is better for your team, since ur killed by Volcarona if it's +1, but tran takes care of that 2. also starmie is a huge problem. VERY HUGE
 
I would rate this, but it seems as if you didn't put that much effort in this RMT. If you didn't put effort in this RMT, why should I put in the effort of rating it?

Sorry...
 
To Cope with both Starmie and Volcarona the best poke is probably Jellicent. Resists Both Volc's STABs and Is immune to one of Star's. also can hit both back with SE moves. something like

Jelli @ Leftovers
Bold:Not sure on EV's
- Surf
- Shadow Ball
- WOW
- Recover

this could probably go in over Celebi.
another option is to try lead Tornadurus or Thundurus over Aero becasue they get Prioity Taunt and can hit Scor and Chomp harder with HP Ice, Hurricane and Thunder.
 
Took your advice and swapped Aero for Thunurus. Very nice. But I still need a skarm replacement, the thing is not working for me :(
 
First thing you should add is what is the overall plan of your team. Sweep with a certain poke? Stall out your opponent? It kinda just seems like you threw a bunch of tough pokemon together but don't necesarrily have a gameplan going into battle.
 
@Duck That is exactly what I did... But the team is improving over time, I just added a button passing ninjask to the team, as long as his Taunters/Whrlwinders are dead/has none it's a guaranteed sweep with Celebi. All I need is 2-3 Boosts. It is walled by some pokes, but very few. 1 Nasty Plot and it's game over :P
 
Ok so you want to sweep with celebii after a baton pass, not a bad idea. First thoughts have to be to get rid of ay and all phazers as they ruin all BP teams.
-Skarm
-Hippo
-Dragon Tail users
-I suck at naming phazers

Also you want to get rid of any and all counters to celebii. A big one being Volcarona, you may want to have a good stealth rock user in there since he hates Stealth rocks (trust me, I use Volca as a sweeper and I know how much he hates SR XD), Heatran hurts a lot too. Conkelldurr with Stone Edge could do some damage to both.
 
For your Skarm replacement, i suggest a Para-shuffling Dragonite with the moveset Dragon Tail/Thunder Wave/Roost/Filler Move. Just T-Wave everything and Dragon Tail it out.
