My first ACTUAL Team

[absoltrainer]

Ok I still consider my self a Pokemon DP n00b. I completley understand I.V.s and E.V.s but am still learning what pokemon and moves to use. This is the first team I actually want to take the time to raise, but if it suck, I'm not going to waste my time. Don't be too brutal on me please.


Ninjask @ liechi berry
jolly
252 spd. 252 HP 6 atk
silver wind
baton pass
substitute
swords dance

Metagross @ Leftovers
Adamant
252 atk 132 sp def 120 def
earthquake
shadow ball
meteor mash
explosion

Dragonite @ ????????
Jolly or adamant, I do not know?????????
Dragon Dance
Thunder punch
fire punch
water tail


Strat: Obviously start with ninjask and up all the stats then switch out to metagross. Dragonite is a psysical sweeper.

Ok I think my dragonite sucks, but I want to focus on a 3 man team before I go any farther and I want the metajask combo.

Any advice?

My advice would be to not post a team rate yet and instead, read through as many articles and analysis on Smogon as you can. A good place to start is here. It tells you most of the offensive Pokemon you need to watch out for when building a team. Also be sure to read this. It tells you the defensive Pokemon you should try to handle.

Then there's each Pokemon analysis, which you can read by typing in the Pokemon's name in the search at the top. Be sure to read them carefully.

It seems that while you understand EVs, you don't understand something as basic as special and physical moves.
Tell me, is Silver Wind a special or physical attack? What about Shadow Ball?

You should at least keep those things in mind.

We aren't here to build teams for you. If this team is created for the battle tower, then please say so. I suggest you lurk a bit more and read the RMT forum rules as well as aragornbird's post in this thread before posting another rmt.
