my new team.(first time on smogon)

sabeta_sama

so im a bit new to competitive battling but i feel this a pretty good team

first

kingdra 168 atk/ 252 spa/ 88 spe
~rain dance
~waterfall
~surf
~ice beam

item:mystic water/nature: naughty

this guy is my starter, his only natural weakness is the dragon wich ice beam covers most of anyway. hes a mixed sweeper kinda guy too, and capable of taking the occasional hit

togekiss item:??? natuer:??? EV:252 hp/ 64 spd/ 192 spe

~agility
~airslash
~roost
~baton pass

this is mainly to set up for my gallade who is a bit lacking in speed. airslash is a decent move and roost is very usful against protecting for elec.

blissy item:leftovers nature:??? EV:252 HP/ 148 def/ 104 spd/4 spe
~aromatherapy
~softboiled
~wish
~protect

clearly designd to heal and heal only. it has aromatherapy for status and softboild/wish for healing up.

gengar: item:choice specs nature:levitate(duh) 3 hp/ 252 spa/ 252 spd
~shadow ball
~focus blast
~thunderbolt
~hidden power ICE

gallade item: choice band nature:steadfast 64 hp/252 atk/ 192 spd
~close combat
~psyco cut
~ice punch? (maybe leaf blade would be better here)
~night slash

naturally this guy is really powerful and has a lot of types covered. i beleive it can even OHKO blissy with close combat. he does need a bit of setting up though, perhaps thunder wave somwhere on the team, possible blissy. though i think with togekiss baton passing to him he should be good

foretress. item:??? nature:??? EV: 252 hp/ 162 atk/ 96 def
spikes
earthquacke
rapid spin
rest
 
I see a few main problems with this team. I'll point out a couple because I am in a hurry...


Kingdra doesn't need Ice Beam. Exploit his Dragon type STAB, you can still hit Grassers pretty hard while being able to hit Water and Dragon better. DRaco Meteor packs an amazing punch, but restricts you to waterfall usage afterward. Dragon Pulse gives you a longer lasting sweep, but lacks the power to OHKO your counters.

Your Blissey is total set-up fodder. Four non-attacking moves. No status or anything. Gyarados, Lucario, Garchomp... anything can switch in and rape this team. Put Thunderwave or Siesmic toss somewhere on it.
 
since you have kingdra with rain dance there are two options:get rid of it since nothing else benefits from it that much or :make it so that your team gets a benefit from it. If you plan to go with the second option i suggest gengar with thunder and maybe switching in a blastois eor tentacruel as a spinner. IMO thunder wave is probably better than agility so that roar does not become a problem and that you dont have to rely on a speed boost.

~earthquacke
~thunderwave
~stealth rocks
~roar
this guy is taking the place of togekiss, he can paralyze then roar, setting up for a good end game gallade sweep. i dont see much bad with this guy but i could be wrong

blissy item:leftovers nature:??? EV:252 HP/ 148 def/ 104 spd/4 spe

clearly designd to heal and heal only. it has aromatherapy for status and softboild/wish for healing up.gave it flamethrower over softboiled. now she can attack

gengar: item:choice specs nature:levitate(duh) 4 hp/ 252 spa/ 252 spd

Except for Forry and Kingdra. Weavile destroys everyone else. Wish is kinda bad on blissey, you have no immediate heal. Your team isn't that much in need of wish support. After Gallade is out of the picture, ttar will run all over this. Expecially Boah. It'll ice beam gliscor for lol% and focus punch and cruch blissey. After that, only forretress stands in the way, unless it has the occasional flamethrower. Since SR isnt really and issue here on your team, Forretress could be replaced with Swampert. Preferably MixPert. Niether TTar or Weavile do a very large amount to swampert. Though im not going to go as far to say it's totally safe from ttars. I have seen several with HP Grass. Although far from standard.
