my first rmt on smogon... i hope you like it

[kirbysplosion]

ok, well i'm fairly new to smogon but i do know a bit about pokemon and i have played shoddy quite a bit, and net battle before that.As of lately this new team i have made has been really giving me some consisitent victories and i just wanted some help choosing permanent movesets and possibly changing some pokemon. well here's my team.

Ambipom @ life orb
nature:jolly
ability:technician
ev's:252speed, 252 atk, 4hp
moves
1)fake out
2)u-turn
3)double hit
4)brick break
he makes a great lead as he dents their lead then switches to something to finish it off.technician+252atk ev's+life orb= ambipom doing a lot of damage per hit and with fake out's flinch he can damage them badly and then finish them or u-turn out of there.double hit is there to hit through subs so baton passing leads will have trouble and sub- seeders won't get much done.brick break is for type coverage and u-turn allows for damage and an escape to a wall or a possible counter.

Gengar @ choice scarf
nature:modest
ability:levitate
ev's:252Spatk, 252Speed, 4Def
moves
1)shadow ball
2)psychic
3)focus blast
4)hypnosis
great choice scarf pokemon and he has the ability to put pokemon to sleep from the word go.he covers a lot of types and resists ground and toxic which is nice and he has enourmous early and late game sweeping potential.

Dragonite @ yache berry
nature:adamant
ability:inner focus
ev's:252Attack, 148speed, 108hp
moves
1)outrage
2)fire punch/fire blast
3)earthquake
4)dragon dance
i gave him yache berry because when i dragon dance with him i want him to survive the first in blow which in this case ice punch/beam is more prevelant than dragon claw/rush.i ran fire punch over fire blast because my dragonite personally has about only 180 special attack so it isn't a big damage difference to skarmory and metagross over a boosted fire punch.

Breloom @ toxic orb
nature:jolly
ability:poison heal
ev's:252Speed, 252Attack, 4hp
moves
1)focus punch
2)seed bomb/facade
3)sub
4)spore
a basic spore-punching breloom but he does so well i really need to keep him for late game sweeps. for those who dont know how he works, you start with spore to put your enemy to sleep. then you proceed to make a substitute, which afterward you choose to attack with either focus punch, or seed bomb/facade.
it seems simple but it works very well.

Clefable @ leftovers
nature:calm
ability:magic guard
ev's:252hp, 100spdef, 156def
moves
1)cosmic power
2)softboiled
3)ice beam/dark pulse
4)encore/stealth rock
my wall for both spectrums of attack,as a long time blissey hater i enjoy this uu alternative, and she brings to the table new options. magic guard means no poison or burn damage *yay* :). cosmic power to get even bulkier,softboiled is obviously for recovery, ice beam/dark pulse because i need and attack other and seismic toss because it is walled by ghosts, and i'm stuck beetween sr and encore. i need stealth rocks support but encore is good to keep phazers at bay. even so i'm still leaning more towards sr.

Blastoise @ leftovers
nature:calm
ability:torrent
ev's:252hp, 116spdef, 140def
moves
1)surf
2)toxic
3)rapid spin
4)protect
blastoise is a nice wall, plus he gives me toxic support and rapid spin which are two things i need badly.he walls weavile nicely and he can probably 2-3hko him.protect is to stall for lefties recovery and to allow toxic another turn to damage the enemy.

thanks for reading and please post comments.

Weavile eats you alive here, it's a real huge weakness you have to it here. I would suggest replacing Ninjask with Bronzong, to help you with Weavile and Mamoswine, and sleep pokemon aswell as setting up SR. You could go Lum Berry if you want to take out lead non-scarf Gengars, but you would need 252 HP / 128 Atk / 128 SpDef for it to work, so I would reccomend that, otherwise stick with the standard Bronzong that should be in the front page of Smogon. I don't really like Alakazam, it's too fragile tbh. I would rather slap a Gengar here, Choice Scarfed if you want the speed, Gengar's handy immunity should help you out better, and have a more diverese movepool, letting it make pokemon hard to switch into it.

You could really just run the standard bulky Dragonite instead of depending of Ninjask, who isn't working in the current metagame, to pass on speed to you, DD Outrage hurts. 108 Hp / 252 Atk / 148 Spd @ Adamant should be enough, you can either run LO or a Yache Berry if you would like, just make sure you carry EQ on it so you don't get raped by Heatran. I don't really like Breelom here, but I can't really change it, since you want to keep it. Same would go for Clefable, which I really dislike you consider her to be a "both sides" wall, which it's hard to set up in D/P, Lucario can pretty much use Clefable as bait itself to set up it's SD, and then kill it, but ok. I guess I would put something like Ice Beam or something so Gengar does not wall you.

You should replace Psychic on Gengar because he has more handy options. Hidden Power Ice or Thunderbolt should go over it.
