Newest Team

This is my newest team and it's been working pretty well but I just feel like somethings missing.

Espeon(Lead)
252 spA 252 Sp 4 HP
Timid
Magic Bounce
Light Clay
-Light Screen
-Reflect
-Psychic
-Hidden Power(fire)
This is my favorite lead ever. I like to try and set up my dual screens(sometimes I can only get up one) and surprise steel and Ice types with HP Fire while also blocking any incoming field Hazards. The Dual Screens usually set the perfect stage for my Aegislash to begin a sweep if the other trainer carries no normal types.

Chansey(mixed wall)
252 HP 252 Def 4 spD
Bold
Natural Cure
Eviolite
-Soft Boiled
-Aromatherapy
-Toxic
-Counter
This is my current mixed wall and to be honest, it has been really lackluster. I mainly run it for the amazing aromatherapy and its ability to toxic stall stubborn pokemon. The other reason this wall has been,"ok" is due to it being able to ohko most physical sweepers with counter if they haven't set up. I am looking to replace Chansey with a better wall soon, I just cant really think of one.

Scizor(Late Game Sweeper)
252 Attk 252 Def 4 HP
Adamant
Technician
Choice Band
-Bullet Punch
-U-turn
-Pursuit
-Superpower
Ok, let me start off by saying, I absolutely love this guy. His choice banded bullet punch has been a staple on my team since B/W. Once the rest of my team has damaged the opponents team, Scizor can come in and clean up. Oh and also, Scizor laughs at fairy types(except mega mawile of course) I also can sometimes predict switches and ohko psychic types with pursuit. I just really love scizor.

Aegislash(Shadow Sweeper)
180 Attk 252 HP 78 Def
Brave(0 speed IV's)
Stance Change
Weakness Policy
-Sacred Sword
-Shadow Sneak
-Kings Shield
-Swords Dance
Ok first, yes I know my team has two pokemon weak to fire but its worked out for me. Anyways, Espeon and Aegislash have proven to be the ultimate duo. I love to set up my screens, switch to Aegislash, tank a super effective hit, swords dance twice to maximize attack, and proceed to sweep. I have had many battles where I have 5-0'ed people with this strategy. Aegislash is also an amazing counter to mega Kan and can stall out her sucker punches then proceed to sacred sword her face. I just love this guy as well.

Greninja(Special Sweeper)
252 SpA 252 Sp 4 HP
Timid
Protean
Life Orb
-Grass Knot
-Dark Pulse
-Ice Beam
-Scald
This is my ultimate Dragon and Gengar killer. This guy has so far, outsped and ohkoed every Gengar its met with dark pulse if it wasn't carrying a sash which I find awesome. He also works amazingly under the screens as well since he loses his glass cannon status and can tank non super effective hits quite well with said screens up. Greninja also pretty much just destroys dragons as well. So far, only multi scaled dragonites have tanked out his ice beams.

Mega Pinsir(Mega Sweeper of course)
252 Attk 252 Speed 4 Def
Jolly
Moxie(Aerialate)
Pinsirite
-Earthquake
-Swords Dance
-Quick Attack
-Return
This guy sets up 2 swords dances? Its basically GG. I also love getting up a moxie boost whenever possible. His ability is also amazing. Flying type quick attack? yes please. Getting up swords dances is the hard part about this guy. I dont know if its just my pinsir but he is extremely frail. I rarley get more than one s-dance up with this guys mediocre bulk.


Well, thats my team. I like it alot but im open to changes if theres something thats really wrong with it that im just not seeing. Thanks (=

Hi, Looks like a good team to me bar a few details.

I would run max HP on Espeon over max Spa. The increased Bulk will allow you to get the screens up better and Espeon can still hit quite hard with stab psychic.

Extrasensory> Grass knot on Greninja as its better coverage.

Would also consider running a special Aegislash over a physical one. I have always found hes done better and gives you a more durrable special sweeper then espeon and greninja but thats up to you.

Other then that well done.
 
Swords Dance aegislash is shit, and wastes the potential of a cool pokemon by thinking with only a sweeper mind, if you know what i mean. Aegi has 2 great sets, the mixed set, and the subtoxic set, with me strongly favoring the ladder. One of the coolest sets because it can toxic stall almost as well as gliscor and retains shadow ball as an absolute nuke coming from 252+ SPA:

Aegislash @ Leftovers
Ability: Stance Change
Evs: 240 HP / 252 SpA / 20 Spd
Modest nature
- Substitute
- Toxic
- King's shield
- Shadow Ball


alternatively you could replace aegislash. i would recommend this, greninja is your ONLY special threat and if it goes down physical walls destroy you. Also smart players don't lead with stealth rock anymore unless HO. they will kill the espeon first, then use a bulky setter such as heatran, which you DO NOT NEED as it destroys mega pinsir sweeps. you can run either lati for support over aegi, giving you defog support for pinsir.

more suggestions to come when i have time, good luck.
