my new team

I changed my team for a better one...

sorry I was too lazy too look for pics

Donphan @ Leftovers
Careful
160HP 50ATK 200DEF 100SDEF
-Roar
-Stealth Rock
-EQ
-Rapid Spin

My SRer, physical wall, phazer, and spinner. He makes a nice leadoff ruining many teams badly. And he also gets ohko against some frail guys out there (like Weavile).

Salamence @ Lum Berry
Adamant
6HP 200ATK 52DEF 200SPD 52SDEF
-DD
-Dragon Claw
-EQ
-Crunch

My late-game sweeper. After one or two dd, mence can ohko or 2hko most of the opponent's pokemon. Plus since it is a late-game sweeper, some badly hurt teams will try to put status on mence, which is negated by lum.

Scizor @ Life Orb
Adamant
110HP 252ATK 148SPD
Swarm ability
-Agility
-X-Scissor
-Iron Head
-Brick Break

The "early-game sweeper". Agility will make it reach speed that will outspeed +speed non-scarfed base 130 speed pokemon. X-Scissor for main stab attack, iron head for ice and rock killing, and brick break to take care of normal and steel types.

Gardevoir @ Leftovers
Modest
252HP 26DEF 8SPD 48SPATK 176SDEF
Trace
-Wish
-Will-o-Wisp
-Psychic
-Thunderbolt

The team's tracer. She also provides support with wish and WoW. Thunderbolt kills SR damaged skarm, and psychic ohkos most fighting type pokemon.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Bold
252HP 252DEF 6SDEF
Natural Cure
-Calm Mind
-Ice Beam
-Softboiled
-Twave

My special wall, supporter and sometime the "very late-game sweeper". Calm mind boosts her SpAtk and can deal high amounts of damage on unprepared sTwave to make up for her rather lackluster speed.

Floatzel @ Choice Specs
Modest
252SPATK 252SPD 6HP
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Hidden Power Fire
-Focus Blast

She doesn't have the best special attack in my team, but she can sweep decently, if not greatly. Surf for stab, ice beam for dragons, HP Fire cause I don't have a fire attack in my team, and it also is a steel-killer, and Focus Blast for a strong fighting move, and hopefully it won't make a crucial miss.


So this is my team.
What do I lack now?
What can wall me easily, and what won't I wall easily, or worst what won't I be able to wall?
Are the ev spread and items good?
What are my strengths and weaknesses?
Should I move mence to specs while floatzel to physical floatzel?
 
Let me see if I can answer all your questions.

It's okay. That's not a rule.
Donphan @ Leftovers
Careful
160HP 50ATK 200DEF 100SDEF
-Roar
-Stealth Rock
-EQ
-Rapid Spin

My SRer, physical wall, phazer, and spinner. He makes a nice leadoff ruining many teams badly. And he also gets ohko against some frail guys out there (like Weavile).
Well, lots of Weaviles carry Choice band or Focus Sash.
He is hurt so badly by taunt gyarados, and his EV's are messy too.
Try this:
Donphan@lefties
impish
252HP/4Att/252Def
Rapid Spin
Earthquake
Ice Shard
Stealth rock/roar

Salamence @ Lum Berry
Adamant
6HP 200ATK 52DEF 200SPD 52SDEF
-DD
-Dragon Claw
-EQ
-Crunch

My late-game sweeper. After one or two dd, mence can ohko or 2hko most of the opponent's pokemon. Plus since it is a late-game sweeper, some badly hurt teams will try to put status on mence, which is negated by lum.
Again, his EV's are all over the place.
Moveset is okay but try:
4HP/252Att/252Spd
Since you're using him to attack,(BTW i respect your argument about statusing.) life orb is a better option over Lum berry.
Scizor @ Life Orb
Adamant
110HP 252ATK 148SPD

Fine.
Gardevoir @ Leftovers
Modest
252HP 26DEF 8SPD 48SPATK 176SDEF
Trace
-Wish
-Will-o-Wisp

-Thunderbolt
EV's are all over.
252 HP / 48 SpA / 176 SpD / 32 Spe
is what you want.

The team's tracer. She also provides support with wish and WoW. Thunderbolt kills SR damaged skarm, and psychic ohkos most fighting type pokemon.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Bold
252HP 252DEF 6SDEF

Looks fine.

Floatzel @ Choice Specs
Modest
252SPATK 252SPD 6HP
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Hidden Power Fire
-Focus Blast

She doesn't have the best special attack in my team, but she can sweep decently, if not greatly. Surf for stab, ice beam for dragons, HP Fire cause I don't have a fire attack in my team, and it also is a steel-killer, and Focus Blast for a strong fighting move, and hopefully it won't make a crucial miss.
I'm going to suggest a physical set over this.
His Special attack is not as good, and he has a good enough movepool to take advantage of it.
Crunch, Ice Fang, Waterfall, Brick Break, Aqua Jet. Put this into consideration. But I'll review the set you have here.

Ditch Focus Blast for Rain Dance.
And remove Choice specs in favor of Life Orb or Leftovers.
Now you should remove HP Fire since it's weakened by rain, or go ahead and keep Focus Blast if you really fancy it.

For EV's go for:
72 HP / 252 Sp Atk / 64 Def / 104 SpD / 16 Spe
Or for the Physical set I suggested, adjust the attack EV's accordingly.


So this is my team.
What do I lack now?
Well by the looks of it, a SD Garchomp can cause heavy damage.
Especially if floatzel goes out.
What can wall me easily, and what won't I wall easily, or worst what won't I be able to wall?
Well actually not much.
But a Nasty plot Azelf can hurt this team.
And Explosion can take out blissey
Forry and Skarm can set up easily as you've nothing effective to take them out.

Are the ev spread and items good?
No. But I fixed em up for you.
What are my strengths and weaknesses?
Besides Donphan, your guys can't take a physical hit too well.
This goes back to my comment about SDchomp.
Should I move mence to specs while floatzel to physical floatzel?
No on salamence. Up to you on Floatzel. Personally I would.
Click to expand...
 
Aipom if I move zel to the physical, umm maybe I should... gotta try it.
On mence it is kinda a bulky ddmence, and the ev you suggest I tried that before, and it did work pretty well, life orb for more damage,hmmm I'll think about that. On donphan I thought of Ice Shard too, but he'll lose his phazing or SRing capabilities. And maybe I'll consider with your ev structure for gardevoir...
 
The EVs for Donphan and Gardevoir look very lazy, and carelessly made. The Smogon standard spreads would work much, much better on them, trust me.

Speaking of Donphan, I don't think leading with it is the best idea, especially since you aren't running Ice Shard for things like Gengar. I see Floatzel and Salamence doing much better as leads. Another thing is, three of your pokemon require stat-upping in their sets. Not a completely bad thing, I just suggest converting Blissey into a real wall. This is also since you are running Calm Mind with just Ice Beam as an attacking move. You aren't going places with that. Infernape knocks out two thirds of your team, might want to consider Starmie in there? Over Floatzel, perhaps? If not, Cresselia over Blissey is a fine action.
 
ya, for a lead, you may want to try floatzel or salamence.
I personally do suggest you keep ice shard on it however.
Stealth rock/roar is at your preferance.
Your team's not even that SR weak, so rapid dpin may not be nessesary.
 
Of course my team is not sr weak! I thought I had 2 flying types. So I'll remove Rapid Spin for Ice Shard.

Supernova I only run CM on Bliss so guys like specsape and specsmence and azelf+porygonz won't ohko or 2hko bliss, plus so she can also attack some threats out there. And Gardevoir's ev are identical to that of smogon, but donphan's isn't.

And I'm gonna remove scyther and move zel to the physical department and lucario will be on the specs dept. I'll give both of them choice items.

Thanks for the advice guys.
