I'm the Walkie Talkie Man

[Diarkia124]

On a bit of a losing streak right now. Please help

Like, here is the team in-depth

Swampert @ Leftovers
Torrent | Relaxed
252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SAtk
*Ice Beam
*Earthquake
*Stealth Rock
*Roar
This is the DDMence counter of my team as well as the lead. The EVs maximize its physical hit tanking, taking 3 CB Crunches from Tyranitar and having 98% chance of surviving Outrage from Salamence. Stealth Rock is a given, but make sure to throw it in early in the match to get the best out of the sweepers. Roar is a filler move, but its mainly for phazing.

Lucario @ Life Orb
Inner Focus | Adamant
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
*Swords Dance
*Close Combat
*Extremespeed
*Crunch
Lucario comes in a Physical Sweeper with the ever so famous Swords Dance set. It's pretty obvious, come in with a Pokemon it can take, Swords Dance, and then goes out and sweep. It's mainly for late game when the opponents Pokemon is crippled and weak. It also will take out anything before Salamence does the final sweeping if necessary.

Rotom (Heat Forme) @ Choice Scarf
Levitate | Timid
232 HP / 20 SpA / 252 Spe
*Thunderbolt
*Overheat
*Shadow Ball
*Trick
Rotom-H is the special Revenge Killer on my team. It also has the capability of using Trick so it can cripple Blissey's and other walls. Thunderbolt and Shadow Ball for STAB and Overheat for Scizor and Lucario since it resists all their priority moves.

Jirachi @ Leftovers
Scerene Grace | Impish
240 HP / 160 Def / 76 SpD / 32 Spe
*Wish
*U-Turn
*Toxic
*Iron Head
Jirachi is the main support of the team. Toxic can help Rotom sweep and Iron Head annoys everyone. U-Turn is there to flee from threats like Mamoswine. Wish gives support to Salamence.

Latias @ Leftovers
Levitate | Timid
204 HP / 124 SpAtk / 108 Spe
*Calm Mind
*Recover
*Dragon Pulse
*Surf
Latias is my main Infernape counter. It can survive all of his hits and can fight back as Hidden Power Ice Fails to OHKO it with +2. It knows Dragon Pulse to hit everyting and Surf to hit Infernape, Heatran, as well as all the Steel Types with neutral damage.

Salamence @ Life Orb
Intimidate | Rash
80 Atk / 252 SpA / 176 Spe
*Draco Metor
*Fire Blast
*Brick Break
*Roost
The team finishes off with the Classic MixMence. It has Draco Meteor to deal massive damage from the start and Fire Blast to hit the likes of both Scizor and Skarmory. Brick Break hits Tyranitar, Blissey, and Empoleon hard. Roost is over Crunch because Scizor takes care of Cresselia and Dusknoir making it somewhat useless. It also takes off the damage taken by the Life Orb and in some cases Stealth Rock.

Here is my first threat list, I tryed as best as I could to make it.
Threat List
Defensive Threats:

Blissey - It is easily taken down with Lucario and can be pretty well off with Salamence if Jirachi can get a good Toxic in.

Bronzong - Lucario can take this on pretty handily but Rotom-H does the job the best. Salamence can snuff it out too.

Celebi - Lucario can laugh at it as long as it doesn't carry Hidden Power Fire. Salamence can take this down pretty good too.

Cresselia - Lucario can hit this hard once it gets a good Swords Dance or two in. Jirachi can hax and stall it's way to win.

Forretress - Rotom H can take this Pokemon down easily. Salamence can do a good job if it doesn't miss.

Gliscor - Swampert laughs at this Pokemon with Ice Beam.

Gyarados - Rotom H can both outrun this beast and take it down in one or two hits.

Hippowdon - This Pokemon is good news for Latias. It can take an Ice Fang to set up with Calm Mind and OHKO it with Surf.

Jirachi - Rotom H will go out and Overheat this thing. For sets of Thunder Wave, Swampert can EQ it. Salamence with it's Blast of Fire can take it down as well.

Skarmory - Rotom H is the best counter getting around the defenses. In late game, Salamence is the answer.

Suicune - Lucario can set up and sweep this thing down. Rotom H does a pretty good job and it can be destroyed by Jirachi's Toxic.

Swampert - Contrary to Roar, Latias does a pretty good job at killing this thing especially when it has a Calm Mind or two in.

Tentacruel - Swampert can beat it down and Lucario fares well against it.

Tyranitar - Swampert can stall it out and kill it with Ice Beam. Lucario can go at it with Bullet Punch.

Vaporeon - None of his moves really do anything to Lucario or Latias. They can take it down once they set up.

Zapdos - Swampert and its Ice Beam takes it down but Rotom can get fast results. Latias might be able to set up on it.

Offensive Threats:

Azelf - Rotom can outrun it and Lucario can STAB Life Orb priority on it.

Breloom - Rotom H will kill this thing in one move if it moves fast enough.

Gengar - Rotom H will kill any non-scarf'd set. If not, then Salamence will eventually kill it off.

Gyarados - Kill it fast before any DD's show up with Rotom and Thunderbolt.

Heatran - Scary, but Lucario, Swampert, and Latias got the job covered.

Infernape - Latias can take it's hits and hit it with Surf.

Jolteon - Swampert can laugh at it and Lucario can sometime set up on it.

Kingdra - Rotom H can serve pretty well if Jirachi can get in Toxic.

Lucario - Rotom H can Overheat this thing to victory.

Machamp - This Pokemon might be a problem, but Salamence and Swampert should do fine.

Magnezone - This Pokemon will think it might win, but Lucario will take it down. Rotom can hit it fast as well.

Mamoswine - Oh, Lucario and it's moves take it down. Jarachi can stall and Rotom can burn.

Metagross - Burned by Salamence and Rotom.

Salamence - Swampert can Ice Beam this thing and Latias can hit it with Dragon Pulse.

Starmie - Rotom can hit this hard. Latias does good as long as it has a good Calm Mind on it.

Suicune - Rotom can take it down fast with Thunderbolt.

Tyranitar - Lucario will pwn this thing especially if Swords Dance is used.

Zapdos - Swampert will take this thing down as well as Salamence in late game if Jirachi can Poisin this.

hello

I've been using a Swampert lead lately with Yawn over Roar. This also phazes the enemy but it also gives you a free turn, to switch or to get some extra Leftover recovery. It's also usefull when your opponents last pokemon is something like DD-Gyra, something you cannot kill and because it's the last pokemon you can't Roar it out. Yawn will put it to sleep so you can deal with it easier.

You have covered your Swampert weakness well by giving Jirachi Toxic. Well done.

I do suggest switching Latias into a scarfed version for revenge killing:

Latias @ choice scarf/ timid/ levitate
6 HP, 252 Spe, 252 SAtk

- Thunderbolt
- Draco Meteor
- Surf
- Trick

--> This thing does a better job as revenge killer since you need a revenge killer for Salamence and Gyarados. Moveset is obvious.

If you do give Latias a scarf then you might as well switch Rotom to:

Rotom @ leftovers/ bold/ levitate
252 HP, 168 Def, 88 Spe

- Will-o-wisp
- Thunderbolt/ Discharge
- Shadow Ball
- Overheat

--> the most common switch-in to rotom is Tyranitar. With Will-o-wisp you can cripple it. Rest of the moves stayed to let the coverage remain.

Hope this helped!

I'll take that into consideration due to the fact that I lack some status moves.

With 5 seconds of looking at your team, I notice that you have a hard time effectively dealing with ScarfTran. (I'm sure you can play around it, but I mean you have no counter for it) I think that over Latias, a bulky DD Gyarados would fit well, seeing as it will still counter Infernape while also giving you a surefire Scizor counter. (Which by the way, isn't in your threat list.) It seems like it would synergize very well with your team even more so because you have Wish support. Yet another thing Gyara brings to the table is Taunt, which will help you with phazers like Skarmory, Swampert, or Hippowdon, all of which can't touch you after you've taunted them, so you're free to Dragon Dance for however long you want. You can use either of these two sets:

Gyarados@ Leftovers
Intimidate
Adamant

156 HP / 72 Atk / 96 Def / 184 Spe

• Dragon Dance
• Taunt
• Waterfall
• Return

This is the new Bulky Gyarados set, but it has the same idea. Dragon Dance on switches or hits you know you can take, and sweep. This set has an advantage over the old one seeing as after 1 DD you can outspeed Starmie and Azelf. You could use Bounce over Return, but I wouldn't because you have Celebi covered pretty well. Or, you could opt for this set that I personally use:

Gyarados@ Life Orb/Leftovers
Intimidate
Jolly

6 HP / 252 Attack / 252 Speed

• Waterfall
• Stone Edge / Earthquake
• Taunt
• Dragon Dance

This set I used myself on my Heavy Offense team, after encountering much trouble with Thunder Wave and Phazers. It's just the regular offensive Jolly gyarados set, but with Taunt. Jolly is great, because with max attack EV's, you do about as much damage as you would bulky, while outspeeding Jolteon and Aerodactyl after a DD, which is huge. You can opt for Stone Edge or Earthquake, it's all a matter of preferance and what your team needs. Hell, you could even use Return if you wanted to. I would opt for Stone Edge though, allowing you to hit Zapdos and opposing Gyarados super-effectively (the latter being #2 on the ladder right now).

Thanks for reading my rate, and I hope your team does well.
