Mega Scizor Team

[Takashi Higashi]

Hi there, I just wanted to post this team here and want it rated because this team kept me winning.
I just suddenly made this team in and here's how it goes.

Role: Physical Sweeper/Revenge Killer
Edward (Scizor) (M) @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Bug Bite
- Swords Dance
- Roost
The icon of the team, It's pretty much the same moveset and gameplay but I somehow always use him as a last resort. The best way is wait for a perfect set up them Mega Evolve + Swords Dance and start Sweeping. If come worst, it's base attack stat can make you a revenge killer as well.

Role: Revenge Killer/Dragon Check
Easter Bunny (Azumarill) (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Play Rough
- Superpower
- Knock Off
--> My Revenge Killer, I chose Knock Off instead of Waterfall since I rarely even used that move and it's pretty risky since Azumarill is slow, better use it when predicting a switch, Aqua Jet is enough because of it's priority + STAB.

Role: Sticky Web/Special Attacker
Ms. Sticky (Galvantula) (F) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Compound Eyes
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Sticky Web
- Thunder
- Bug Buzz
- Volt Switch
--> The Lead of the team, same gameplay and movesets as seen in-game, it can survive OHKO and throw that Sticky Web.

Role: Physical Tank/Staller
Tentacle Rape (Tentacruel) (F) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 240 Def / 252 HP / 16 Spd
Bold Nature
- Confuse Ray
- Scald
- Toxic Spikes
- Rapid Spin
--> Ah yes, this one is my favorite, some people say Tentacruel is useless but not entirely, It's my Physical Tank and Rapid Spinner, and it can set up Toxic Spikes for extra damage, top it up with Confuse Ray to stall up quite anything and you can gamble over a confuse and get a nice set up.

Role: Special Sweeper
Cecropia Moth (Volcarona) (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 204 Def / 252 HP / 52 Spd
Bold Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Fiery Dance
- Roost
--> My Special Sweeper, Nothing much has changed with it's typical Movesets. It can survive an Earthquake though and you can start setting up that Quiver dance and Start Sweeping.

Role: Stealth Rock/Bulky Physical Attacker
Big Daddy (Mamoswine) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
--> My Stealth Rock set upper, this one gets rid of Sash holders and Revenge Killers.

Weaknesses:
As for now, I still don't have much experience with this team yet but as for now, I think Ferrothorn with Rocky helm and stall this team if it can predict my Volcarona.

As for now, I want to know what it's weaknesses and other better options and movesets.
Sorry for the few details, I'm not good at explaining stuff.

This looks like a decent team. Personally, I would take out the Tentacruel because there are just better options out there (I would choose Technician Roserade if you really want those Toxic Spikes). By doing this, you would lose the Rapid Spin support, so I would recommend Donphan instead of Mamoswine. Energy Ball is an option over Volt Switch on Galvantula, but you would miss some momentum in exchange for surprising your opponent. Mainly, I recommend Roserade since it can deal with your Ferrothorn problem with a nice HP Fire. :D

Jolly nature is generally better on Mamoswine because 80 is a somewhat common speedtier.

On galvantula, replace Thunder with Thunderbolt and replace the Compundeyes ability with swarm. This allows you to have some very good damage with Bug buzz before dying (same as Choice specs)

 

[EyeDentist]

No to Donphan. Donphan is never a good choice, really; it is popular for some unknown reason.

Your team sees a weakness to fast flying types. Landorus, Thundurus, Talonflame... With the right support, they can rip through your team without any opposition. In place of Tentacruel, I suggest Rotom-W. It stops those flying types and can also spread status around, not to mention, it's very bulky.

I may come back to rate this further, but by then, it would really help me out if you have a team goal written out, AKA, a short statement of what you specifically wanted to do when initially creating this team (sweep with Mega Scizor, etc.).

 

[Scron]

NO. Donphan is the definition of a well-rounded pokemon and it is foolish to dismiss it as otherwise. STAB Earthquake is a nice thing to have in a metagame dominated by steel types, but to also have access to priority in Ice Shard is nice. Donphan also has SR access. This is where its similarities with Mamoswine end. Donphan has access to the ability Sturdy, which is just fantastic when coupled with priority. It's defensive stats are superb and it has access to Play Rough, making Donphan one of the top counters to Goodra and other Dragon types, not to mention several fighting types including Scrafty. Let's not forget that Donphan can function as your team's hazard clearer as well, and any experienced Pokemon player understands the necessity of a spinner/defogger on a team with two rock weaknesses.

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.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it. The standard description length required is three to four lines, if you need more insight look on the detail part, check out the RMT Archive.

Your thread breaks that rule. PM me your updated descriptions and I'll unlock your thread.
