My first team in a long time

[SergeantHam]

Ferrothorn (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Iron Barbs

EVs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
Spikes
- Leech Seed
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip

Standard first pick. To set up spikes+ leech seed if needed.

Jellicent (M) @ Leftovers

Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 248 HP / 216 Def
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Will-O-Wisp
- Recover
- Taunt

The purpose of this guy here is to cover up my teams weakness to fighting types and also helps take the hits for my Satk sweeper (hydreigon). Also used to counter those pesky substitute stall teams using taunt. He is also used shut down pokes with a disgustingly high atk stat with will o wisp.

Gastrodon (M) @ Leftovers

Trait: Storm Drain
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Earth Power
- Ice Beam
- Toxic
- Recover

Used to wall any pokes that break through jelli. I feel he is not needed but i do not know who to swap him for

Conkeldurr (M) @ Leftovers

Trait: Guts
EVs: 120 HP / 252 Atk / 136 SDef
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Mach Punch
- Stone Edge

My atk sweeper once i get a few bulk ups on this guy everything in his path will be destroyed. a great counter if the opponent has toxic spikes because his guts ability will kick in.

Hydreigon (M) @ Choice Scarf

Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Dark Pulse
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast

My SAtk sweeper i have a fairly varied movepool in order to cover various pokemon types. Scarfed so he can out speed most sweeper and severly outspped and hurt walls.

Scizor (M) @ Choice Band

Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 248 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Quick Attack

My revenge killer. I also have gave him u turn to take out annoying ghost type pokemon.

At the moment i find weather based teams tearing me apart and i dont feel the need for both jelli and gastro. Can i have some suggestions or just fixes in general to make my team better off? Thanks alot!

Edit: I just included descriptions on my team. (Even though they are not very good) I apologise i have just started getting into pokemon again after a two year break so im not exactly sure whats going on these days haha. I also included pictures but there kinda huge XD

For each of your pokemon, you should try and provide a description of what each member does for your team, why you picked that particular mon, and why you chose the moves that you did. It's kind of hard to rate a team with absolutely no information about it other than it's basic information. I also suggest adding pictures for more visual appeal. I'll check back on this one later.

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.
