I have been testing this team out for a while, and need some help to improve it, especially against the likes of entry hazard stall teams. This team aims to either set up a position to help dd kingdra sweep, or alternatively infernape. It would also be greatly appreciated if someone could inform me of how to inlclude pictures!

TEAM

mamoswine@focus sash
snow cloak
6/252/0/252/0/0
adamant
-earthquake
-ice shard
-stealth rock
-endeavor
Mamoswine is a fantastic lead, which deals with most leads fairly well, the only leads that I have seem which cause a problem are uxie, machamp and scarmory, and often catches people off guard with endeavor. Note that I usually try to take out the lead before using stealth rock, as icke shard can often provide a 2HKO, allowing me to set up stealth rock on the incoming poke.

Machamp@leftovers
no guard
252/252/0/6/0/0
adamant
-dynamic punch
-payback
-stone edge
-substitue
So many teams have no real way to deal with machamp, to be honest the only things that completly wall it are rotom/dusknoir with will-o-wisp. I'm torn up with having only four moveslots as bulletpunch would be a great addition, however all four moves are needed.

Heatran@shucca berry
flash fire
128/0/0/170/212/0
modest
-explosion
-dragon pulse
-magma storm
-hidden power(grass)
At the momment heatran is really the weak link of the team, while it is nice to take out an incoming swampert/ blissy, magma storms accuracy leaves alot to be desired. I would appreciate an alternative pokemon!

Infernape@life orb
Blaze
0/252/0/192/66/0
Naive
-close combat
-mach punch
-overheat
-grass knot
Infernape is a beast of a late game sweeper, considering changing grass knot for something else, any suggestions?

Gengar@choice scarf
levitate
6/0/0/252/252/0
modest
-shadow ball
-thunderbolt
-focus blast
-hidden power(ice)
Gengar is a great revenge killer, and most importantly of all, can stop dd gyrados, hp(ice) is for incoming flygon, trying to predict thunderbolt, originally had rotom in this spot, but gengar works much better, while offering the same key resistances

Kingdra@lum berry
swift swim
6/252/0/252/0/0
adamant
-waterfall
-outrage
-dragon dance
-substitute
The real hero of the team, comes on on so many pokemon and then sweeps, the lum berry is also such a lifesaver, allowing kingdra to come in on more defensive pokemon, such as blissy!

This team has many flaws which need to be ironed out, this team especially has weaknesses to these pokemon:
-zapdos
-!!!stall entry hazard teams!!!
-machamp

open to any suggestions!
 
3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

Your descriptions are lacking, which means you are violating the above quoted RMT rule. If you wish to remedy this problem, explain your reasoning behind each Pokemon and why they work on your team more thoroughly. I recommend lurking through the RMT Archive in order to see examples of what we're looking for in an RMT!

If you improve your explanations for your Pokémon, please private message me indicating that you've done so by showing me your new descriptions. Once you've done that, I will re-open this thread. Thanks.
