My latest OU RMT, new to the forum

[bobdole4eva]

Hey guys, sorry if my post is a bit sub par, but as the title says, I am quite new to the forum. For example I don't know where to get the little pictures of all the pokemon or how to put them in my post, so I'm sorry about that in advance.
Anyway, on with the Team.

The general gist of the team is to have swampert set up SR, then have my powerhouses like Scizor and Machamp tear things apart, and have Salamence and Gengar come in to revenge kill when necessary.

Swampert @Leftovers
EVs: HP 240/ Atk 58/ Def 212
Impish Nature
Ability: Torrent
-Avalanche
-Earthquake
-Roar
-Stealth Rocks

I've always had problems choosing a lead, I tried Bronzong, Ninjask, Skarmory and none of them worked for me. Swampert just had exactly what I wanted, he's bulky enough to take a few hits, he has SR which is an absolute must for leads IMO, and he has Roar, which tosses the opponent around a bit, either to find someone weak to Ice or Ground, in which case I use Avalanche/Earthquake and then carry on or to reveal some of their pokemon and let me plan ahead, after which I switch out to one of my other pokemon, using Swampert from then on as a switch in wall.
Weakness: Grass, covered by Scizor, Gengar, Salamence

Blissey @Leftovers
EVs: HP 148/ Def 252/ SAtk 108
Bold Nature
Ability: Natural Cure
-Aromatherapy
-Ice Beam
-Seismic Toss
-Softboiled

Blissey is all round awesome for switching in against sweepers, when they think they'll have an easy go of it and suddenly seismic toss is doing more damage than their best offensive move. Aromatherapy takes care of all status effects flying around, Ice Beam is for anything resistant to seismic toss and of course softboiled keeps her healthy.
Weakness: fighting, covered by Gengar

Scizor @Leftovers
EVs: HP 200/ Atk 252/ Spd 56
Adamant Nature
Ability: Technician
-Bullet Punch
-Superpower
-Roost
-Swords Dance

Scizor is a good bulky attacker, but not amazingly fast. Against most opponents this is irrelevent thanks to Bullet punch for letting him go first. I set up with SD to turn him into the kind of sweeper that goes through whole teams. Finally, in case he gets walled by something resistant to steel and I can't switch out effectively, I gave him brick break. Roost keeps him alive after a SD or 2, and after a hit from whichever pokemon is resistant to steel.
Weakness: Fire, covered by Swampert, Salamence

Gengar @Life Orb
EVs: 6 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
-Shadow Ball
-Thunderbolt
-Focus Blast
-Hidden Power (Fire)

My team's Glass Hammer. The ultimate revenge killer. After he has come in a hit something very hard very fast, I either leave him to whatever is next, hoping they don't expect the Life Orb over a Choice item, or switch to Blissey.
Weakness: Ghost, covered by Blissey
Dark, covered by Scizor
Psychic, covered by Scizor

Salamence @Life Orb
EVs: 232 Atk / 26 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naughty Nature
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast
-Dragon Dance

Salamence is another fast killer, but with Outrage he is more general than Gengar, being about toscare anything except steel pretty much. I have chosen Dragon Dance over Aqua Tail, because i am happy Mence's ability to pull it off with this set up (any comments on that would be appreciated)
Weakness: Ice, covered by Scizor
Dragon, covered by Scizor
Rock, covered by Swampert

Rotom-H @Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 168 Def / 88 Spe
Bold Nature
~ Thunderbolt
~ Shadow Ball
~ Overheat
~ Will-O-Wisp
And finally to round out the lot, Rotom-H. I really think he will be good for the team. His typing rounds the rest off nicely, and he is better as a Gyara counter than Electivire :)
Weakness: Ghost, covered by Blissey
Dark, covered by Scizor

Anywho, thats my team, sorry for being brief, but as I said I'm kinda new to this whole thing. Let me know what you think :)

Don't post your improved team in a different post, edit it into the thread please - friendly message from Bloo

Alritey, after taking all your advice into consideration, I've come out with this updated version. It has worked well for me on Shoddy Battle so far.

Firstly, unchanged pokemon:

Swampert @Leftovers
EVs: HP 240/ Atk 58/ Def 212
Impish Nature
Ability: Torrent
-Avalanche
-Earthquake
-Roar
-Stealth Rocks

Swampert has been working great as my lead, as well as getting Rocks up almost without fail, the combination of avalanche and earthquake means he can hurt most common switch ins quite badly, particularly salamence and metagross. I haven't yet seen any need to alter his set up at all.

Salamence @Life Orb
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast
-Dragon Dance

Salamence has also been a good solid member of my team for quite a while now. I briefly switched him for gyarados, but I found he didn't fulfill the same niche as Salamence did, so I kept him. He hasn't been performing amazingly as of late though, I just can't find a decent replacement. Any ideas would be welcome.

Altered pokemon.

Rotom-H @choice scarf
EVs: 252 hp/ 124 spA / 144 spe
Timid Nature
~ Thunderbolt
~ Shadow Ball
~ Overheat
~ Will-O-Wisp

I changed Rotom, as suggested, to a speedy Scarf Attacker. I found it annoying that he was pretty much my only counter to other Rotom, and yet he was too slow to do any damage. Also, I found I generally switched him in and out like a Choice user anyway, wasting the freedom I had.

New Pokemon

Porygon2 @Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 216 Def / 40 SpA
Bold Nature
Ability: Trace
~ Thunderbolt
~ Ice Beam
~ Recover
~ Toxic

I replaced Blissey here with Porygon2. Trace makes this set what it is. Its a great counter to Gyara, Salamence and many others, and it can stall people out with Toxic and Recover. All around a good Bulky offensive pokemon.

Machamp @Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Atk / 128 Spe
Adamant Nature
Ability: No Guard
~ Bulk Up
~ DynamicPunch
~ Stone Edge
~ Payback

Scizor was doing me no favours, and while I may still use CB version, I decided to give this Machamp set a try, and so far its been great, and I mean really great. Payback for ghosts and psychic, Stone Edge for fliers and of course Dynamicpunch for everyone else.

Starmie @Leftovers
EVs: 136 HP / 156 Def / 216 Spe
Timid Nature
-Surf
-Psychic
-Rapid Spin
-Recover

I took your advice on Starmie, but since I have Thunderbolt twice already, and I have no effective counter to enemy Manchamp, I opted for Psychic. Also I prefer Surf over Hydro Pump, the Accuracy makes up for the Power IMO. I also realised I needed a rapid spinner quite badly, so I added some bulk to her and made her a spinner.

Thats all, let me know what you think.

 

[WoOoShoOo!!]

Good Team here. Although I suggest changing somethings(little things to consider) like Ice Punch on Blissey, that was weird, with SpA EV's and Ice punch? Change that to Ice beam. On Scizor, change Substitute > Roost so you can set up a bit easier and add a little EV's on SpD. Use these EV's 200 HP / 252 Atk / 56 SpD since your going to use Scizor to block your pokemon's weakness'. And on Machamp make it hold Choice Scarf so you can confuse opponents better and with ScarfChamp your team has an instant Revenge Killer. Also, change Machamp's EV spread > 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe with a Jolly Nature to fully use Choice Scarf. Overall you have a good team. Good Luck!!

Edit: Watch out for Crocune cause it can sweep your team Late-game. Also, watch out for Stealth Rock as it would allow you to decrease the usage of Salamence. Switching in Salamence and attacking would cause 35% damage(25% on SR + 10% on Life Orb = 35%, 41% with Residual Damage like Sandstorm or Hail) so, watch out!(Sandstorm teams are very common these days, like myself) Also, You can try Wish on Blissey to avoid this(not actually) but a little support would do..

 

[bobdole4eva]

@WoOoShOo
Took all your advice, edited above to show this :).

@Haunter+ Hope this is enough expension for the moment, if not please do let me know before locking the thread, so I can change it as necessary

EDIT: Replaced Machamp (never was sure about him) with Electivire, he gives more coverage offensive wise, or at least as much, and he gives more defensive coverage, and has less weaknesses than Machamp.

 

[WoOoShoOo!!]

Yes, E-vire is an excellent pokemon to this team. Good Job!! But Thunderbolt isn't good, due to the -SpA(Adamant Nature). So change it to Thunderpunch.

 

[Arkeis]

Why are you even using Electivire on this team? You have nothing weak to Electric so you have nothing to lure Electric attacks, which is the whole purpose of using Electivire. Without the speed boost, Electivire is a subpar sweeper.
wooshoo's advice on that part was bad.

Anyways, Dragon Dance Gyarados rips through your team with no problem at all. Dragon Dance Salamence does too, since without Choice Band or Life Orb, Scizor's Bullet Punch is too weak to stop it.
Replace Blissey with Porygon2. With its Trace ability, Porygon2 murders both Gyarados and Salamence, as well as Choice Scarf Heatran who can also give you problems.

Porygon2 @Leftovers
252 HP / 216 Def / 40 SpA
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Recover
-Thunder Wave

There you go. Porygon2 fits better with this team since it's very offensive, the kind of team that Blissey doesn't belong.

Gengar should have Hidden Power Fire over Hypnosis to hit Scizor. Hypnosis is very unreliable.

A Salamence without Dragon Dance should be a mixed sweeper. Give your Mence Draco Meteor over Aqua Tail and change your nature and EVs accordingly to the standard Mixed set.

An Infernape with HP Ice also gives your team problems. So replace Electivire with Latias. Latias handles Infernape easily and can make a great late game sweeper after Salamence weakens everything that counters Dragons. Latias's weaknesses are all handled by Scizor.

 

[bobdole4eva]

You say I have no place for Electivire, but you also say I can't handle Gyarados? Thats kinda a no brainer, the last few games I've played against Gyarados it has been Electivire who took him out.

I tried that exact set up of Porygon2 and I really didn't get along with it, I switched from that to Blissey and immediately saw the improvement. Having a defensive Pokemon in a mostly offensive team isn't a bad thing, I've found Bliseey to be great at deflating a killing spree for my opponent.

Heatran is easy, Swampert+Earthquake!

I gave my Mence DD, I gave Gengar Energy Ball (not HP Fire, ive never been sold on HP)

The only part of your statement I agree with, is possibly taking out Electivire for Latias. But I'm not familiar with any good Latias setups unfortunately :(

 

[Arkeis]

You say I have no place for Electivire, but you also say I can't handle Gyarados? Thats kinda a no brainer, the last few games I've played against Gyarados it has been Electivire who took him out.
A Gyarados with Dragon Dance outspeeds Electivire and easily takes it out with Life Orb Waterfall. Electivire is NOT a Gyarados counter.

I tried that exact set up of Porygon2 and I really didn't get along with it, I switched from that to Blissey and immediately saw the improvement. Having a defensive Pokemon in a mostly offensive team isn't a bad thing, I've found Bliseey to be great at deflating a killing spree for my opponent.
Unless that killing spree is coming from a physical sweeper (like Gyarados or Salamence).

Heatran is easy, Swampert+Earthquake!
Heatran will switch out from Swampert so you can't touch it with Earthquake. But Swampert doesn't like repeated Fire Blasts since it can't heal itself. Neither does Salamence, especially since it's weak to Stealth Rock.

I gave my Mence DD, I gave Gengar Energy Ball (not HP Fire, ive never been sold on HP)
Energy Ball wont don't anything against Scizor (or Metagross). It actually has poor coverage. The only thing you're going to be hitting is Swampert, who wouldn't stay in on Gengar most of the time.

The only part of your statement I agree with, is possibly taking out Electivire for Latias. But I'm not familiar with any good Latias setups unfortunately That's why you should read Smogon's Pokemon analysis. They were written for a reason. I suggest an offensive Calm Minder or a Choice Scarfer.

 

[Blackhawk11]

Naughty > Adamant on Salamence. You shouldn't run -SpA and use a special attack (Fire Blast). Naughty is superior to Lonely because you want to take as little from Scizor's Bullet Punch as possible. *That was pretty much my only new contribution to the team >_>

Aragornbird is 100% right, Electivire has no place being on this team. You say that it is a good enough counter to Gyara, but it isn't. A well played Gyarados will switch in on your Scizor. It will Dragon Dance as you switch out. If you don't switch out it will DD a couple more times just to be safe, although it isn't necessary, and procede to rape your team with Waterfall, Earthquake, and Stone Edge. Electivire instantly loses its countering capabilities once a single Dragon Dance is used. BTW, Scizor can't touch Gyara (+6 [necesitating the use of Swords Dance 4 {not a typo} times] Bullet Punch does 78.8% - 92.7% to standard Gyara, and it gets ugly against BulkyGyara). More on this later.

Swapping Blissey out for Porygon2 would perfectly fix your weakness, since P2 is arguably the best gyarados counter there is (also a very good DDMence counter). So I definately recommend taking that advice. Oh, and by

Porygon2 fits better with this team since it's very offensive

Aragornbird meant that the team itself is offensive, and Porygon2 can actually attack decently while still being a sturdy wall. Blissey doesn't have that capability, which will slow down your team and probably screw you over more often than not.

Infernape doesn't just give this team 'problems'. It is always going to get at least one kill as long as it doesn't switch into an attack. A moveset of {Close Combat | Flamethrower | Hidden Power Ice | Grass Knot} is all it needs to beat your team, and the only way you can beat it is by waiting until it has taken 38% damage and/or used CC to revenge kill with Gengar's Shadow Ball. So this is where Latias comes in. Definately switch Electivire to Latias.

@aragornbird: sorry if it seems like I'm just repeating your rate, but I wanted to back up your good rate after he shot it down so quickly. I also just noticed while switching from quick reply to advanced that you already replied, but I went a bit more in depth (with calcs and such) just to prove to him that you're thoughts are in fact valid.

Edit: @bobdole4eva: Ironically, the pictures that you see most often in rmts are from aragornbird's site here and sprites can be found here. Just copy and paste them into your RMT where you want them to be.

 

[Ffancrzy]

As Aragonbird said, Electivire does absolutely nothing for your team. It can't counter the aforementioned Dragon Dance Gyarados because after a Dragon Dance it get outsped and killed by Earthquake.

Additionally I like the thought of replacing Blissey with Porygon 2, but if you don't like that at least put Thunder Wave on Blissey over Aromatherepy, who on your team is bothered by Status?, that way you can paralyze stuff for your slower attackers, and try swapping Electivire for a Choice Scarfed Latias Timid, With Draco Meteor, Thunderbolt, Surf, Trick maxing out Speed and SpA and putting 4evs in HP. Then you can come in on the Gyarados Dragon Dance, outspeed, and OHKO it.

I felt that needed

 

[bobdole4eva]

Ok so to sum up, the rest of the team (bar Electivire) is basically fine, and except some very minor tweaks, am i right in thinking we like the first 5 pokemon?

I'm sorry if I sounded like I was shooting you down and disregarding your comments, that was certainly not my intention.
I will admit porygon2 is a good counter to gyara as you say, but I really do love Blissey, so would it be ok, just in that single regard, that I just keep her despite the fact that she might be inferior to Porygon2 (anything else at all rip to bits as usual lol)

On a similar note, I was trawling through the Pokemon Analysis section as you suggested aragornbird, and while I wasn't sure about Latias (I like him, but meh) I came across Rotm-H, good setups and the like, AND its listed as a gyara counter. :)

Rotom-H @Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 168 Def / 88 Spe
Bold Nature
~ Thunderbolt
~ Shadow Ball
~ Overheat
~ Will-O-Wisp

What do you reckon, bulky enough?

EDIT: added pictures thanks to your advice :D woop woop

 

[Blackhawk11]

That will probably be a great addition to your team, and it is a decent check to Infernape as well. The biggest point of adding Latias was to make your team less susceptible to a midgame Infernape beatdown, but Rotom-H will work well enough. However, you should go with Leftovers > Life Orb, because with Leftovers you have a much better chance to survive 2 Flamethrowers from Infernape after SR, whereas with one turn of Life Orb recoil + SR you'll almost always be 2KOed.

 

[bobdole4eva]

Thanks for pointing that out, I've been using leftovers on Shoddy and its been working out great, not sure why I wrote Life Orb, anywho its edited in the list now. Cheers :)

Also, I just thought I'd say I'm very happy with the team after the newest updates, I haven't lost a game all night, which is rare :P

 

[WoOoShoOo!!]

Why are you even using Electivire on this team? You have nothing weak to Electric so you have nothing to lure Electric attacks, which is the whole purpose of using Electivire. Without the speed boost, Electivire is a subpar sweeper.
wooshoo's advice on that part was bad.

Lol. True..

Naughty > Adamant on Salamence. You shouldn't run -SpA and use a special attack (Fire Blast). Naughty is superior to Lonely because you want to take as little from Scizor's Bullet Punch as possible.

As well as taking Close Combats. By the way, you gotta agree. Porygon2 is the best counter to Gyara. Trace copies Intimidate, lowers Gyarados' attack, access to Tbolt and Recover.

EDIT: Toxic is sometimes better, just to stall with Blissey..

 

[bobdole4eva]

I currently use a porygon2 with Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Recover and Toxic (yeah I chose Toxic over TW) but hes just a bit mediocre in most departments, you know what I mean? Jack of all trades, ace of none...

 

[bobdole4eva]

Alritey, I've been using this team for a while now and there's one thing that has stood out as a bit of a weakness (kinda.)
That is the fact that I have both Gengar and Rotom-H, they both have Shadow Ball and Thunderbolt, and either Overheat or HP Fire, the only thing Gengar has is Focus Blast, while Rotom has Wil-o-Wisp. Out of the 2 I'd rather keep Rotom-H because he has fewer weaknesses and is all round tougher, plus he's a Gyara counter as we said earlier. With that in mind, I had 2 ideas to replace Gengar with, first:

Machamp @Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Atk / 128 Spe
Adamant Nature
Ability: No Guard
~ Bulk Up
~ DynamicPunch
~ Stone Edge
~ Payback

Machamp would be a great addition because he has the fighting type move that was lost with Gengar, plus a never miss Stone Edge and Bulk up. Having him would also reduce the total weaknesses of my team and highly increase synergy.
Second is:

Heatran @ Expert Belt
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
Ability: Flash Fire
~ Fire Blast
~ Earth Power
~ Hidden Power Electric
~ Explosion

A fast SAtker just like Gengar, Heatran would make a nice addition to the team, he hits hard, and explosion is great for taking out Blissey and the like.

I'm having trouble weighing up the merits of these 2, any suggestions?

 

[yond]

This team needs a some help.

Listen CB scizor is your best option on this team. you need a solid revenge killer.

If your insisting on using an SD roost scizor i have a few changes that will make him better for a sweep.Brick Break > Superpower in my opinion as you dont get any atk/def drops allowing you to have that sweep set up without scizor getting fragile.
I also suggest Giving him life orb since you can still roost off the damage and be able to hit mence and latias harder without SD bulletpunch.
CB SCIZOR IS THE WAY TO GO STILL!


I also dont like gengar on this team at all. If you want a fast poke that can clear things up what i suggest of this team is

Starmie@ lifeorb
Timid / Natural Cure
4hp/252 spA/252 spe
-hydro pump
-grass knot
-thunderbolt
-icebeam

He doesnt ruin the synergy of this team at all and is more reliable in this metagame for LO sweeper compared to gengar. With all the Scizors running around and what not.

Synergy Chart With Starmie:

Hide

Also i like bulky scarf rotom better, but i want you to keep will-o-wisp over trick because you do need that move against things like scizor , dd gyara etc.

rotom@choice scarf
Timid / Levitate
252 hp/ 124 spA / 144 spe
Moves
-tbolt
-shadow ball
-overheat
-will-o-wisp

I think this will improve your team alot compared to before so take it into consideration.

Hope this helps

 

[bobdole4eva]

I will definitely take that into consideration, thank you.

 

[bobdole4eva]

Ok, here's the new version, put together from playtests on shoddy.

Swampert @Leftovers
EVs: HP 240/ Atk 58/ Def 212
Impish Nature
Ability: Torrent
-Avalanche
-Earthquake
-Roar
-Stealth Rocks
Weakness: Grass, covered by Salamence
Same as above, a great lead, hasn't let me down yet :).

Salamence @Life Orb
EVs: 232 Atk / 26 SAtk/ 252 Spd
Naive Nature
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast
-Dragon Dance
Weakness: Rock, covered by Machamp/Swampert
Dragon
Ice, covered by Starmie
This guy seems quite hit and miss, when he sweeps he goes through whole teams like wild fire, but sometimes he just fails and I so far haven't found a surefire way to make him more reliable.

Porygon2 @Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 216 Def / 40 SpA
Bold Nature
Ability: Trace
~ Thunderbolt
~ Ice Beam
~ Recover
~ Toxic
Weakness: Fighting, covered by Rotom
A nice replacement for Blissey, Boltbeam gives great coverage and he is much more offensive to play with, which suits my team nicely.

Machamp @Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Atk / 128 Spe
Adamant Nature
Ability: No Guard
~ Bulk Up
~ DynamicPunch
~ Stone Edge
~ Payback
Weakness: Psychic, covered by Starmie
Flying, covered by Rotom
Instead of Scizor, who I found to be severely lacking in power and reliability. Machamp's powerful Dynamicpunch is a great way of sweeping up whole teams, and his other attacks give him good coverage.

Rotom-H @Choice Scarf
EVs: 252 hp/ 124 spA / 144 spe
Timid Nature
~ Thunderbolt
~ Shadow Ball
~ Overheat
~ Will-O-Wisp
Weakness: Ghost, covered by Porygon2
Dark, covered by Machamp
I opted for the Scarf Rotom, and it has so far really paid off. He goes before so many non scarf sweepers its crazy, and he has a good deal of power to boot.

Starmie @Life Orb
EVs: 6 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
Ability: Natural Cure
~ Surf
~ Grass Knot
~ Psychic
~ Ice Beam
Weakness: Grass, covered by Salamence
Electric, covered by Swampert
Bug, covered by Machamp, Salamence, Rotom
Ghost, covered by Porygon2
Dark, covered by Machamp

Finally, Starmie. She is great for sweeping, and she adds 2 very important types to my offensive arsenal that I severely lacked. Those are Grass and Psychic. I found myself totally stopped by both Machamp and Swampert, so I thought this set would finally put an end to that.

 

[MrIndigo]

Ok, here's the new version, put together from playtests on shoddy.

Swampert @Leftovers
EVs: HP 240/ Atk 58/ Def 212
Impish Nature
Ability: Torrent
-Avalanche
-Earthquake
-Roar
-Stealth Rocks
Weakness: Grass, covered by Salamence
Same as above, a great lead, hasn't let me down yet :).

Mixpert has better coverage, basically by tweaking the EVS and running Ice Beam over Avalanche.

Salamence @Life Orb
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast
-Dragon Dance
Weakness: Rock, covered by Machamp/Swampert
Dragon
Ice, covered by Starmie
This guy seems quite hit and miss, when he sweeps he goes through whole teams like wild fire, but sometimes he just fails and I so far haven't found a surefire way to make him more reliable.

I'm not sure about the EVs, but seems good otherwise.

 

[afterburn]

Just a small nitpick: Change Salamence's nature to Naive instead of Adamant to negate the -s.atk, and it gives you a boost in speed, allowing you to speed tie with ScarfRachi, after a DD.

 

[bobdole4eva]

Thanks, edited Salamence's nature to Naive, and Starmies middle EV from Def to SAtk :)

I'll look up Mixpert, but so far the Physical Tank has been serving me great.

 

[MrIndigo]

The EVS are effectively the same, you just run Ice Beam over Avalanche as it is generally more effective; I'd also run Trick over Will-o-wisp on Rotom.

 

[bobdole4eva]

Trick placed over Will-o-Wisp, I found I was almost never using Will-o-Wisp anyway. I'm gonna run the Mixpert from the Smogon Analysis see how it goes.

 

[bobdole4eva]

Ok one more revision, again based on playtests over the last few days.

Swampert @Leftovers
EVs: HP 240/ Atk 58/ Def 212
Impish Nature
Ability: Torrent
-Avalanche
-Earthquake
-Roar
-Stealth Rocks

Swampert remains unchanged. I tried Mixed, but overall I find Avalanche does more damage to the common leads, especially with the extra EVs in Atk.

Salamence @Life Orb
EVs: 232 Atk / 24 SpA / 252 Spe
Naughty Nature
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast
-Dragon Dance

I altered the EVs to match the DDmence on the Analysis, allowing Fire Blast to OHKO a few more things that are weak to it, such as Skarmory and Bronzong. Also I chose the Naughty nature, as I like power over speed on this set.

Blissey @Leftovers
EVs: Def 252/ SAtk 40/ SDef 216
Calm Nature
Ability: Natural Cure
-Aromatherapy
-Ice Beam
-Thunder Wave
-Softboiled

Porygon2 wasn't doing a whole lot for me, especially since I already have Swampert and Rotom as Physical Walls, and I have no effective special wall. Also I found my biggest problem was with Status users, so Aromatherapy is a must. New addition of Thunder Wave lets her cripple the likes of Gyarados and Salamence. I have also invested more EVs into SDef for safety's sake.

Scizor @ Choice Band
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spe
Adamant Nature
Ability: Technician
~ U-turn
~ Bullet Punch
~ Superpower
~ Pursuit

Machamp was a problem because I had nothing that resisted Dragon. I decided the more powerful CB Scizor was indeed the way to go (thanks for the advice there!) So far he has not let me down, and he has excellent coverage, as well as great Scouting Ability with U-Turn.

Starmie @Leftovers
EVs: 136 HP / 156 Def / 216 Spe
Timid Nature
Ability: Natural Cure
~ Rapid Spin
~ Surf
~ Thunderbolt
~ Recover

Starmie is now a Rapid Spinner, due to most of my team being weak to both Rocks and Spikes, I kept Surf for STAB and Thunderbolt over Ice Beam since Blissey and Swampert already have Ice type covered, and Rotom is my only Thunder user at the moment.

Rotom-H @Choice Scarf
EVs: 242 hp/ 114 spA / 144 spe
Timid Nature
~ Thunderbolt
~ Shadow Ball
~ Overheat
~ Trick

Rotom-H remains unchanged, he works amazingly well for me and Trick is definitely better than Will-o-Wisp so far as I'm concerned.

Issues I still have as I say are with Status users, as well as with Trick and Taunt users, but this may be down to my play style and my prediction rather than any change that can be made to the team. :)
