My physical wall and phazer, serves as my usual lead and my rocks support. I feel OK with swampert in general, my only problem is his not being able to do too much in the battle maybe come in a few times before racking up so much residual damage that he is no more use. I would like to use something with a recovery option here or at least someone who can fit better into the team and provide a real help. I'm so iffy with this one that it doesn't matter a whole lot if i need to take him out I just know that i'm not doing the greatest with him. He falls in the same category as volcarona with just dying too early. If its my play-style call me out on it but other than that he probably needs to go.

A bulkier sweeper on my team made to buffer hits for alot of the team mostly weavile. I've used this guy but without any spinners that could fuel this team his use just isnt that great. I've thought about replacing it with heatran or anyone that can do the job of a bulky attacker but i have not found anything. He's a guy that i dread switching in which isnt a good thing because he takes care of jolteon and weavile's main threats.

Another special sweeper more for late game to dish out some harder hits when weavile or jolteon cant come in. He faces problems with any kind of healers mostly not being able to hit hard enough which i do not like, but i have a hard time with anything to fill his role because generally he does an ok job, definitely not one of the pokes i like switching in and out of maybe if i can use a bulkier set or a harder hitter.

This guy does alot of the work on the team i use him for a special wall mainly but other times he can sweep or even be a physical wall. Runs into huge problems with skarmory and most physical walls but that is to be expected and also with shed skin i have no real problems, one of the pokes on this team that are more reliable switch ins.

My revenge killer and another physical sweeper. takes on Dnite, latios, and latias but hes the only poke i have that can do this. His main problems are anything that survive his hits those being Dnite and latias and when those two cant be taken out my whole team could be swept. If there's a bulkier option or something to better fill this role it would be greatly appreciated.

Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Shadow Ball
I've used this guy for alot of things specifically sweeping but sometimes as a scout or to lead with. Another option which is who he is replacing was manectric because he ran a more powerful fire attack to take on ferrothorn and the like because of that entry hazard problem i have, but after playing for a while he didnt have the speed or power to take out another threat i had in latios and latias. I made the change after also trying zapdos and generally just having an easier time with jolteon, but as i mentioned before sometimes hp fire just doesnt cut it.
Well lets see, Most of the problems come with stall and really bulky teams, also if they out-speed me there isn't much to take heavy hits and i find rocks and any kind of entry hazard troublesome.
,Thank You
