Need help with RU Team!

[Stoeck71]

Emboar @ Choice Band
Blaze
Adamant
110 HP/ 252 Atk/ 146 Spd
-Flare Blitz
-Wild Charge
-Sucker Punch
-Superpower

I decided to replace my Scyther with Emboar due to a few reasons. The first being the massive stealth rocks damage. The second being that I have a big fire weakness in Scyther, Tangrowth, and Jynx. Emboar can take hits a lot more easily then Scyther ever could, plus he has great coverage and decent speed due to the speed EVs.

Skuntank Black Sludge
Aftermath
Adamant
252 HP/ 252 Atk/ 4 SDef
-Crunch
-Poison Jab
-Taunt
-Defog

The main reason I put this guy on my team was to get rid of hazards back when I still had Scyther. Defog is still important but skuntank can do a lot more than just that. He's the bulkiest member of the team, along with taunt and STABs he proves to be more than just a basic support role. He replaced Gastrodon.
Cradily Leftovers
Suction Cups
Careful
252 HP/ 4 Ak/ 252 SDef
-Stealth Rock
-Stone Edge
-Toxic
-Synthesis

Cradily replaced Hitmontop as the special wall. Able to easily wall things with his excellent typing. Toxic and Synthesis makes stalling a breeze. Stone Edge is STAB and Stealth Rock is because I changed Golurk a bit.


Tangrowth @ Leftovers
Regenerator
252 HP/252 Def/4 SpA
Lax
-Sleep Powder
-Giga Drain
-Knock Off
-Leech Seed

Golurk @ Assault Vest
Iron Fist
Adamant
4 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spd
-Earhtquake
-Shadow Punch
-Drain Punch
-Ice Punch

On my previous Golurk set I constantly found myself being outsped and killed. Then, one day I put on a pyrotz video and right there on my screen was the answer to my problems. Assault Vest makes up for the lack of HP investment and Drain Punch allows me recover any lost HP.

Jynx @ Life Orb
Dry Skin
252SpA/252Spe/4HP
Modest
-Lovely Kiss
-Nasty Plot
-Ice Beam
-Psychic


Thanks for taking the time to look at my team! I will be putting up some descriptions for Jynx and Tangrwoth soon. This team feels pretty complete now, but if anyone has any ideas that could make it better I would happily test them out!

Hi! Your team has potential, but there are some glaring weaknesses that are apparent, let me go into detail;

First off, I'm going to suggest Jynx or Kyurem over Aurorus, filling a similiar role of a hard hitting ice types, with Jynx you will get better speed and access to sleeping moves, and with Kyurem an Ice Type with much less wekness and frailty, along with a Dragon typing.

With Scyther, defiantly but Bug Bite over Fury Cutter, for an improved damage output overall.

You seem to have a major Grass Weakness, with 3 Weaknesses and only 1 resist, so maybe instead of Gastrodon, I may suggest Tangrowth filling your need for a physical wall with a good grass resist. However, grass types are not too prevalent in RU, so this suggestion is minor.

Everything else on your team seems pretty solid, while Choice Scarf Azelf is not my preference, I've known many people that have used it to success, so I won't tweak at that. I hope all goes well for you in the future! If you have anything else, please feel free to PM me for discussion or post again. Hope this helps! ^-^

Hey there Breadman, thanks for the help! I've recently been doing some revising of my own due to the banning of Kyurem and Azelf. I did decide to use your suggestions though. Here's the new team:

The Jynx and Tangrowth sets make up my last two pokemon ( I'm running Tangrowth with Knock Off instead of HP Fire and an Lax nature).
