My OU Team - Needs some fixing and ironing out

Not open for further replies.
Warning My paragraphs get a bit Rambly.

Ok I am new to the smogon forums although I often use Smogon for moveset ideas and what not for my competitive battling over wifi. Too make matters hard for me EVs and IVs don't come that easily to me, I understand EVs somewhat but IVs are a mystery. Therefore I also have trouble getting Hidden Power to work so try and avoid those if possible.
Furthermore I ahve just sorta gotten ahold of EV training on my own, however the majority of my Pokemon are fully EVed by friends therefore if for some reason they were not EV trained properly let me know and I will see what I can do about it. Also All pokemon are level 100 unless specified. Also if any of my stats are illigal or anything I may have Typoed or somethign.

The first major flaw I have had with my team recently as you will see is the lack of a good Gyrados counter. I have been sweeped my Dragon Dance Gyrados many times. There may be other flaws that you may see. If so please let me know. Any way to improve my team would be appreciated.


Lead: Swampert(MixPert) Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Stats:
394/237/287/219/198/127
Movepool:
Earthquake/Stealth Rock/Ice Beam/Surf

Swampert is my lead, he is bulky which is needed on my team because I need someone who can sponge physical attacks up, yet still retain some form of offensive capability. He sets up Stealth Rock, then either retreats or hits with Earthquake or Ice Beam usually.

Latias: Offensive CM Life Orb
Nature: Modest
EVs:4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Stats:
301/161/217/350/296/319
Movepool:
Surf/Recover/Calm Mind/Dragon Pulse

Latias is the Special Sweeper of my team. Usually coming up late game unless I am in a tight squeeze or I can counter something with her.

Scizor: Sword Dance Life Orb

Nature: Adament
EVs:32 HP / 252 Atk / 224 Spe
Stats: 281/394/237/103/196/229
Movepool:
Bullet Punch/Swords Dance/Quick Attack/ Super Power

Scizor is my physical sweeper. He hits hard with Technician and a Sworddance under his belt in conjunction with Life Orb. He also can easily decimate a focus sasher with his two priority moves

Breloom: Sub Punch Spore Toxic Orb
Nature: Adament
Stats:
EVs:48 HP / 252 Atk / 208 Spe
253/394/171/117/131/239
MovePool:
Sub/Focus Punch/Seed Bomb/Spore

Breloom is another physical attacker, however she shuts down offensive problems, she abosrobs status, and can hit hard either by putting something to sleep or sub punching

Snorlax: Curselax Leftovers
Nature: Careful
EVs: 168 HP / 120 Def / 220 SpD
Level 33
Fully EVed as shown on the Curselax EVs on Smogon
Movepool:
Rest/Curse/Body Slam/Fire Punch

Curse Lax serves as my special wall, and with enough curses under his belt he can spnge some physical attacks as well. Also he can hit hard when needed.

Heatran: Scarf revenge Killer Choice Scarf
Nature: Modest(Unfortunatly)
EVs:4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Movepool:
Fire Blast/Earth Power/Explosion/Dragon Pulse

Heatran is my speed revenge killer, decimating most opponents who attempt to sweep my team


Please help me I put a lot of work into my pokemon and need help.
 
Aside from Latias, MixApe says "Hi" to your whole team. So, I would suggest putting something else in to take out MixApe, maybe like a Gyarados or a Flygon?
 
Please read the RMT rules, especially rule #3.

Rule 3 said:
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.

You need to improve on your descriptions. Have a look at some of the teams in the RMT archive to see what is expected. Try and stay away from 1-2 line descriptions. Explain why you chose a Pokemon, what it does, how does it contribute to the success of the team, etc. If you fix the descriptions properly, PM me the changes and I'll unlock your thread.

It would also be nice if you could use the standard format:

RMT rules said:
6. Formatting. Make your post readable. If the format is messy and illegible you will not be likely to receive help and may have your thread locked. Adding pictures to your post can make it more visually appealing too, but pay attention to rule 11. Here is a guideline on how to post each Pokemon.
