I'm having a brainfart, and I don't know what I'm doing (UU RMT)

So, yeah.

I've made up this team totally out of the blue, and it's probably not really good.

So, I ask you, Smogon, would you rate this hot mess?

================================================================
Enjoy, this team took about three minutes to make.

No, really, all I did was slap 6 things together, and made them fight.
------------------

Electrode @ Leftovers
Ability: Soundproof
EVs: 252 HP/252 Spd/6 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Taunt
- Thunderbolt
- Torment

A fast lead that should be able to do SOMETHING. Substitute first, and then Taunt or Torment. Pretty much, I'm hoping it'll piss off something.

Altaria (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 120 Atk/138 Spd/252 SAtk
Mild nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Fire Blast
- Draco Meteor
- Roost
- Dragon Claw

Mixed Altaria. I stole the EVs from Mixmence. I checked some of the damage calculations, it can 2hko/3hko the walls. Pretty much the only sweeper I have, egh.
---
Lumineon (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 120 HP/10 Def/128 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Rain Dance

Um. He comes in, sets the Rain and tries to not die, and then start a sweep. Good thing is, he lowers the Fire weakness Steelix has. Which is useful.
---
Steelix (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP/120 Atk/136 SDef
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Stone Edge
- Roar

Stops certain sweepers from causing a ruckus. Pretty much a standard Steelix. Also goes well with a Mantine.
---
Mantine (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP/40 Def/216 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Surf
- Ice Beam

"hay im here 2 stop u sillie special sweeperz". She also absorbs Water, which is awesome since Lumineon's rain is a double-edged sword. She stops anything not named Thunderbolt, because that goes to Steelix or something for him to teach.
---
Claydol @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/144 Def/114 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Rapid Spin
- Earth Power
- Psychic
- Toxic

Rapid spinner, because I'm not a big fan of Stealth Rock and stuff. Psychic for stopping the Hitmons, Toxic for screwing anything else not Steel. Normal Claydol.

Rates, suggestions, help?
 
Watch out for Scarf Areos (am I the only one that uses one?).

Uh... let's see this team is going to have quite a problem with anything that can boltbeam. Glaceon can pretty much OHKO or 2HKO everything on this team. Lumineon setting up the Rain Dance is going to encourage other Swift Swimmers to just come in and take advantage of that... If Lumineon dies during that time you'll probably lose another pokemon in addition to it.

I'd stick a cleric in there somewhere along with maybe a seeder as your team is going to hate status and Curse/Body Slam Miltank will have a field day with your team. Steelix will be able to Roar it out, but unfortunately not beat it.
 
I suggest reading the RMT forum rules before posting here again.

Why would anyone waste their time and thought on a team when you neglected to use either of these things to make it? It's even less efficient for you. Just ladder for 30 minutes and you'll discover plenty of things about it. After you've changed it around based on results, then post it.
 
Doesn't Gorebyss do Lumineons job but better? I don't play UU so I have no idea if theres a difference. Also if Lumineon is part flying (which I believe it is) then it has SR weak. Gorebyss doesn't so yea.
