I've come back to competetive, but I'm still a little dusty. RMT please?

Hey everybody. I stopped doing pokemon and competitive battling a while ago (although I was never necessarily a prodigy), and I'd like some people to rate my team. Thanks in advance, and tell me if I broke any rules, and I'll change it.

Here it is:


  1. Bonny (Genesect) @ Choice Scarf
    Ability: Download
    EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 Atk
    Hasty Nature
    - U-turn
    - Ice Beam
    - Bug Buzz
    - Flamethrower
    This guy has a few roles on my team. He can be an anti-lead if I see that he would fit, he can be a pretty good scout, and a pretty good revenge killer. The 4 EVs in Atk are obviously to power up the U-turn, which I have though to be a valuable asset to Genesect. The Bug Buzz is a nice powerful STAB and lets me get through Substitutes. The Choice Scarf forces me to switch in some cases, but I believe it's worth it, for the boost.

    T.N.T. (Tyranitar) @ Leftovers
    Ability: Sand Stream
    EVs: 4 Spd / 252 HP / 252 SDef
    Careful Nature
    - Pursuit
    - Stealth Rock
    - Fire Blast
    - Stone Edge
    Tyranitar is, I believe, a pretty great tank. He take on a variety of special attackers. Also, along with my Rotom-Wash, he is a great counter to Talonflame. I think that Stealth Rock is a good choice on him, as with his bulk, he gets many opportunities to use it. Pokemon with Magic Bounce are afraid to switch into him because of his STAB dark type moves. The fire blast prevents him from being walled by Steels. I have Talonflame to take care of fighting-types for him.

    HighVoltage (Rotom-Wash) @ Chesto Berry
    Ability: Levitate
    EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 Def
    - Volt Switch
    - Hydro Pump
    - Will-O-Wisp
    - Rest
    My Rotom-W is able to counter some dangerous threats (such as Talonflame), and is able to gain momentum with Volt Switch. He is able to take care of physical attackers (with his Will-O-Wisp), and if he gets worn down, he has a second life, with his ChestoRest. My Excadrill can Rapid Spin the Stealth Rocks away, as they wear him down a bit.

    RazorsEdge (Excadrill) @ Air Balloon
    Ability: Mold Breaker
    EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
    Adamant Nature
    - Rapid Spin
    - Earthquake
    - Rock Slide
    - Iron Head
    My Excadrill can be an offensive supporter, backup Physical Attacker, and an offensive Rapid Spinner. He is immune to Thunder Wave and Toxic, making him even better. He can OHKO things like Rotom-W, due to mold breaker, which is also great.

    HellsBells (Talonflame) @ Life Orb
    Ability: Gale Wings
    EVs: 88 HP / 252 Atk / 168 Spd
    Adamant Nature
    - Brave Bird
    - Flare Blitz
    - Swords Dance
    - Roost
    Talonflame is one of the biggest threats in the game. Gale Wings gives it a priority STAB Brave Bird, as well a priority Roost, which is pretty cool. It can beat Steels with the Flare Blitz. Obviously, with 2 recoil moves and a Life Orb, I need Roost. The Life Orb is a little risky, but I believe it's worth it for the power.

    BackInBlack (Medicham) @ Medichamite
    Ability: Pure Power
    EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
    Adamant Nature
    - High Jump Kick
    - Bullet Punch
    - Psycho Cut
    - Ice Punch
    This guy has a pretty insane Attack stat with Pure Power. He can kill a ton of threats in the game, and can do some serious damage. High jump kick can be risky, but with this guys Attack stat, it's insanely powerful. I thought he needed a priority move, so I added Bullet Punch, and it's helpful to have that priority.

Such giant text...

Besides your Genesect set not being that good:

Excadrill: max Speed > max HP

There is never a reason to run a Jolly Talonflame. Ever.
 
I'd consider running bug buzz over extreme speed on Genesect, you can then deal with subs. With the scarf and 252 evs in speed, he doesn't really need to worry about being outsped. (Plus you have priority on talonflame, (which should have an adamant nature), via gale wings and medicham via bullet punch).

Good point. I'll change that. Sorry about Jolly, I didn't notice it when I clicked on the auto-spread. I'll change that too.
