XY OU My first RMT

Hello there !
I'm a beginner, and i would like that you rate my team (I recognize that it was really unexpected) and counsel me :)

210 I.Q (Slowbro) @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Slack Off
- Thunder Wave/Psyshock
- Flamethrower/Grass Knot
- Scald

It's a really good check to physical sweepers.
He can tank EASILY many knock offs, like Land-t's, Azumarill's, Conk's or Scizor's and hurt them really tough after. The biggest advantage is that you can switch out to recover 33 % of your health, where the knock offs deal around 45-50 % damage. But don't think you're invincible, Crawdaunt can OHKO the poor slowbro with its powerful adaptability knock off.
You may use Grass knot to beat Mega Gyarados, but Flamthrower is my favorite move, which does around 60 % to ferrothorn and 80 to scizor.
Thunder wave gives a good possibility to block fast sweepers like gardevoir or lati@s, which are really dangerous for my team, but if you don't need it, you can use his second STAB, psyshock.


Doom-Shroom (Amoonguss) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Spore
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb/HP fire/Foul play
- Synthesis

Amoonguss is a good check to Azumarill too, and an excellent special tank which has a big staying power, with the black sludge and synthesis. HP fire gives a possibility to beat scizor, which is a big problem, and Foul play is really effective against Gengar, or Dragon dancers/Sword dancers who try to place themselves
+2 0- Atk Amoonguss Foul Play vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mega Pinsir: 201-237 (74.1 - 87.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO/+1 0- Atk Amoonguss Foul Play vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Dragonite: 181-214 (56 - 66.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO/+1 0- Atk Amoonguss Foul Play vs. 88 HP / 4 Def Gyarados: 192-227 (54.3 - 64.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery etc...
Spore is really useful, because it allows amoonguss to make these pokemon sleeping, and have more chances to kill them. It's pretty good on the switch too.

HastaLaPizza (Heatran) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 40 Def / 140 SpD / 80 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Lava Plume
- Will-O-Wisp
- Stealth Rock
- Taunt

Tran is my Stealth rock setter. The 80 EV speed are here to outspeed Rotom-A with 4 EV speed. Taunt is for stallbreak, and WOW is really useful on the switch, to burn for exemple landorus-t or garchomp.
This tran can PP stall other trans by taunting them, and forcing them to use all their lava lume (but don't try do pp stall a earth power tran, you'll have big problems)
I'ts another counter to Talonflame, which does not more than 18-20 % with its deathly Brave Bird. The only problem of this tran is that its staying power is not enormous like slowbro's or amoonguss'... So make care to don't be knocked off !

All Made Of Gold (Latias) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 32 HP / 224 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psyshock
- Draco Meteor
- Recover
- Defog

Latias is my defoger, and my special sweeper.
It's a good check to Mega Zard Y, which totally breaks my team with solar beam/focus blast/fire blast.
It is pretty cool against Mega Venusaur, which takes 80 % on the psyshock !
The 32 EV hp are there to hold on greninja's ice beam (without Stealth rock) and RK him after.

Super Thales (Conkeldurr) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Guts
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Mach Punch
- Ice Punch
- Knock Off

Conkeldurr is a very effective way to take off tran, or to knock off on the switch. He has a really good priority, which is very useful against big sweepers like kion or greninja. His ability Guts is cool too, it gives a switch-in on ennemies WOW or TWaves...
It's pretty cool, and with good predicts you can make really hard damages, and knocking off on the switch or using ice punch against a no mega-venusaur is pretty destructive :)

Senor Clap Clap (Scizor) @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 112 HP / 252 Atk / 144 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Knock Off
- Superpower
- U-turn

The last one is a banded scizor, because i'm not fan of the mega, and i really love to spam u-turn. It gives a very good priority, against Gardevoir, gengar or kyurem-b.
The damages on the Amoonguss/Slowbro core are significative (70 % to Slowbro and 50 to Amoonguss), so it's a great way to take it off. The speed EV's are just here to outspeed the 40 EV speed tran, and OHKO it with a powerful superpower. The outspeed is usually unexpected, so it's a good way to eliminate a great defensive pivot like Tran.

Please give me your opinion about my team, thx!


Ah, and sorry for my bad english :/[/hide]

This team is Ok. Here are my suggestions....
1. Replace recover on Latias with Healing Wish
2. Replace Sludge bomb on Amoongus with Foul Play
3. Work on your descriptions. They dont give me any reason why I should use this team.
This is good for your first RMT, but you need to practice. Here is a link on how to make a RMT
http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/how-to-make-an-rmt-required-reading.50298/
If you need any help, go to Battling 101 or ask someone on showdown with this next to their name: @
I look forward to rating more of your teas in the future!
 
My latias has the life orb, so without recover I have no staying power, and I need my tias in many matches...
I'll try foul play. Sludge bomb isn't really a definitive move, i used to play HP fire, so that's a good idea.
Like i've said it, i'm not really good in English. But i'll try to work more on my next RMT
Thx for counseling me !
 
Hey, nice team you have got there, but I've some suggestion
First give Foul Play to Amoongus and remove Synthesis, he doesn't need that a lot. You should change the EVs spread into 252 HP / 160 Def / 96 SpDef with a Bold Nature

Also Landorus is a huge threat to your team. because all your members struggles switching into it. I'd suggest to change Latias to Mandibuzz, that can deal with Lando better.

You should change Scizor spread into 36 HP / 252 Atk / 220 Speed for outspeeding 44 evs Rotom, also put Pursuit over Knock Off for trapping no HP Fire Latwins and some other things.

You don't have a mega, so you should replace Conk with SD Hera and for dealing better with Tran you should use Air Balloon Earth Power Heatran.

Thx for your help!
Latias is very useful because it's my only special sweeper, so I don't think i will replace it.
But the heracross is really a good idea (3 fire-weakness?), i did not think about it, and i'll try !
I need the lefties on my tran, because it's both a bulky defensive and a stallbreaker... And I use him to wall talonflame as possible !
I don't need to outspeed rotom-w with my scizor, and after its bulk is really... weak?
And i need synthesis, but i'll try!

And landorus... It's right that it's my main weakness !
