My First Eved and OU Team

[Darth Trey]

I am new to this, so try to laugh too hard. My team is mainly a sweeper team. It's job is to hit hard and fast with Weavile, Infernape, Flygon, and Togekiss then fall back on Vaporeon and Forretress if things get too tough. There are two problems I have with this team but I am not sure how to fix it. My first problem is the lack of electric types. My second one is lack of status inducers. The lack of electric types will give me a hard time with water types and with Gyarados. And the lack of status inducers just makes me feel like I won't be able to keep up with other teams.

Be brutal. Don't hold back. This is my first team, so any help is appreciated. If you have any suggestions for new team members, please keep in mind that I would really like to keep Infernape, Vaporean, and Togekiss just because they are already Eved and everything.

Weavile- Lead
Nature: Jolly Nature
Trait: Pressure
Item: Life Orb/Expert Belt
4 Hp/ 252 Atk/ 252 Speed
~Pursuit
Brick Break
Ice Punch
Night Slash

Lead, it is out to take out the other lead before it sets up anything dangerous.

Infernape- Mixed Sweeper
Nature: Hasty
Trait: Blaze
Item: Life Orb/Expert Belt
128 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 128 SAtk
~Close Combat
~Grass Knot
~Flamethrower
~Stone Edge

Mixed sweeper. I figure that is has a really good type coverage plus it is fast.

Flygon- Mixed Sweeper
Nature: Naughty/Naive
Trait: Levitate
Item: Life Orb
252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 SAtk
~Earthquake
~Roost
~Dragon Claw
~Fire Blast
Another mixed sweeper, I want it so it can take out other dragons plus electric types.

Togekiss- Choice Specs
Nature: Modest
Trait: Serene Grace
Item: Choice Specs
64 Hp/ 252 SAtk/ 192 Spe
~Aura Sphere
~Air Slash
~Fire Blast
~Shadow Ball
Choice specs will really help Togekiss to be a sweeper. Air Slash is already strong, with STAB and specs it will beast.

Vaporeon- Wish Support
Nature: Bold
Trait: Water Absorb
Item: Leftovers
188 Hp/ 252 Def/ 68 Spe
~Wish
~Protect
~Surf
~Ice Beam
Vaporean is my staller, plus healer. I want to replace ice beam with toxic.

Forretress- Wall Physically Defensive
Nature: Relaxed
Trait: Sturdy
Item: Shed Shell/ Leftovers
252 Hp/ 112 Atk/ 144 Def
~Toxic Spikes
~Rapid Spin
~Gyro Ball
~Explosion
Toxic spikes will help me add some status conditions to the other team. Explosion will take out the big threats. Plus Forretress can take some of the heavy hits.

 

[Dr.Morph]

Weavile will make a much better lead if it had Fake out, And i really think you need a revenge killer, maybe give flygon a choice scarf instead of life orb? And i think Togekiss will be much better with leftovers and nasty plot, it works just as well as specs, but with the freedom of choosing you moves.
Here what I think will greatly improve your team:

Weavile @Focus sash
Fake Out
Night Slash
Ice Shard
Ice Punch

Flygon @ChoiceScarf
FireBlast
OutRage
U-Turn
EarthQuake

TogeKiss @LeftOver/ LifeOrb
AirSlash
AuroSphere
NastyPlot
FireBlast/ Roost

 

[Super Mario Bro]

In my opinion and experience, Togekiss really needs paralysis support to be effective. I was never a fan of Specs Togekiss, so try this set:

Togekiss @ Leftovers
Calm Nature
EVs: 252 HP/4 Def./252 Sp. Def
-Aura Sphere/Nasty Plot
-Thunder Wave
-Air Slash
-Roost

You may use Aura Sphere in the first slot for coverage, or Nasty Plot if you want to sweep. (P.S., you'll love the paraflinch hax :P)

Also, you may want to go with a scarf Flygon to give your team a revenge killer. Try this set:

Flygon @ Choice Scarf
Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Attack/252 Spe/4 HP
-Outrage
-U-Turn
-Earthquake
-ThunderPunch/Stone Edge

Outrage is to revenge Salamence, U-Turn is for scouting, and ThunderPunch/Stone Edge is to revenge Gyarados.

Change your Weavile anti-lead set to the one Dr. Morph suggested.

Also, you should seriously consider putting Stealth Rock over Gyro Ball on Forretress. Stealth Rock is a must for all teams, IMO.

Good luck!

Please expand your descriptions as they're definitely not up to rule 3:

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.

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.

Take a look at the RMT archive to see what kind of descriptions we are looking for. PM me the fixed descriptions and I'll unlock this thread.
