Jimmy makes a stand!!

Sup smogon.
This is my first time ever to start a thread on smogon.
So i'm a bit of a noob is s'pose.
I'm not a great battler and have lost alot of my magic touch.
I have no idea what's wrong with my team so I would really appreciate some help.
Changes are in red.


Here's the team, just basically gyaravire team with quirky lead.

1.

Peachy the dragonite
Quiet nature
252atk/252spatk/4spe
Leftovers
Moves:
Draco meteor
Extremespeed
Earthquake
Fire blast

This is the lead that was recommended to me, it's not working though at the moment.
He seems soooooooooooo out of place in a battle.
I'm looking at weavile or maybe yanmega at the moment.

2.

Fluffy the rotom
Bold nature
252hp/168def/88spe
Leftovers
Moves:
Overheat
WoW
T-bolt
Shadow ball

This guy works better than my gengar did, but this guy gets caned up by other gengars and has been getting killed in every battle by tyranitar.

3.

Heatran the heatran
Naive nature
4hp/252spa/252spe
Leftovers
Earth power
Dragon pulse
Explosion
Magma storm

Standard sweeper thingy.
Solarbeam has been taken out and replaced by explosion as
solarbeam takes a turn to charge and sucks.
Anyway, heatran is bulky, and makes a great sweeper.


4.

Breloom the breloooooooom
4hp/252atk/252spe
Adamant nature
Toxic orb
Moves:
Focus punch
substitute
spore
seed bomb

A standard focus punching breloom.
He is my grass pokemon for the fire/grass/water core.
He works really well although i'm debating between seed bomb and stone edge.
He sweeps, he dies, end of story.


5.

Oldskool the Gyarados
4hp/252atk/252spe
Adamant nature
leftovers
Moves:
Ice fang
Waterfall
DD
Stone edge

Lure for electivire.
He can get a DD up reasonably well against something like jirachi and then sweep.
The main reason he's there is the lure for electivire, my 6th pokemon.
Gyaravire is one of the best combos for me out there.


6.

Jimmy the electivire
4hp/252atk/252spe
Jolly nature
Expert belt
Moves:
EQ
Cross chop
Ice punch
Thunderpunch

Jimmy is the woman!!!
Actually it's a guy... but... a guy can have his fantasies can't he??
He is on the receiver end of the gyaravire combo.
Personally, i hate mixed, it sucks.
Jolly means he can out run Ninjask without a choice scarf and other things with choice scarfs.
He motor drive boosts and then sweeps.
However, it never works as he's so predictable!!

That's the team.
I would reaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy appreciate some help.

You mentioned how you think Electivire is doing the work for you, and by getting walled by such common physical walls such as skarmory and Forretress, he will not be putting a motordrive boost to good use.

Could you please explain why sub is useless to you on Gengar, if you don't get the point, its because Gengar causes switchs, Bring in gengar on a choiced pokemon, or something that can't touch it, sub on the switch and hit the correct move to KO. It will save you from CS Scizor and CS T-tar, who outspeed and OHKO regardless with Pursuit, so the sub will save your life. gengar is a key sweeper versus a weakened team that is running out of breath and you seem to just put him on this team, but thats how I see it. He might be better replaced by a spin blocker and ghost in a bulky rotom-a, probably Rotom-H or Rotom-W, for Tyranitar or Scizor, but most likely use Rotom-H with WoW so that T-tar is in check, but you may risk Rotom dying to pursuit in both cases if you don't switch but they are CS.

Honchkrow lead doesn't seem like a good lead to me. You run an anti-lead Krow, and he doesn't seem to actually counter leads other than maybe Roserade, or maybe azelf if they try to blow up turn 2. I think anti lead D-nite will benefit in getting the first kill and and defensive synergy wise.

Any reason for most of the EV's on Honchkrow? I dont see what he's out speeding or what the Offesive EV's are doing. Nor do I see what 96 speed is doing on Breloom.

Explosion and Naive nature over solar beam, or Hidden power grass, depending on if Blissey or Bulky waters are your biggest concern, I'd suggest explosion, much over solarbeam.

Good try, and those are the things that I say after reading it, if I find anything else I will edit it in! Welcome to Smogon by the way, future good luck!
