I think there is't a perfect team, a team has everytime a weak at the u-turn,weather,baton pass,stall,...
But i want to create a team who can defeat the mainly strategy!
I fail in the intent but i make a semi-good team(in my opinion lol), first of all i think the most diffused strategy are volt-turn and dragon spam(scizor and nite are the first in the top ou), now i think who abomasnow+skarmory can block this two strategy, for example abomasnow can hit hard the dragons with ice shard and skarmory can resist its attacks, and skarmory with the rocky helmet can destruct scizor and abomasnow can resist the rotom-w volt switch.
Now i think at the weathers and with aboma for the weathers war i need a spinner, i choose starmie for its speed, and because can stop many dragons before the set up with blizzard.
Now i'm very weak to a normal tyranitar with fire blast+crunch, for this reason i insert terrakion in its banded version for a immediatly power.
I need a way to block the baton pass and the sun teams, i decide to use heatran, but the good baton pass can win easy against me.
I haven't got a good priority and for this i insert Scizor, who can help me very much against sand team(2hko against landorus who can't ohko me with eq).

@ Leftovers
Trait: Snow Warning
EVs: 192 HP / 240 Atk / 76 SDef
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Substitute
- Focus Punch
- Seed Bomb
- Ice Shard

Why this set?
This set because with Focus Punch i can OHKO tyranitar, the evs are for the breakpoint, seed bomb is for politoed and ice shard primarly for dragonite and salamence, but can hit hard gliscor and some others treath.

Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 216 Def / 40 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)

Why this set?
The speed is the rest after the breakpoint on the def, stealth rock because it haven't time to set the spikes, is only a switch in for scizor and other physical treaths(gliscor for example), roost is the recovery and brave bird for do some damage.

I generally don't see the point of this team. I mean, it's a hail team, but practically none of your other pokemon benefit from hail (the only benefit being able to run Blizzard on Starmie) and a rather hindered by it.

I'd either add in some common hail abusers, such as Kyurem or Walrein, or swap out Abomasnow for Tyranitar: the team looks much more like a sand team

One of the reasons of running abomasnow is to give other weather teams an obstacle to overcome. Most teams you see won't be normally running hail, so that allows you to counter opposing weathers with hail. Abomasnow also destroys the main weather inducers, ttar and politoed.

So he is using hail not to really abuse it, but to deal with volt turn and other weather.
 
Hello there,
I agree with Psycho Cut you don't abuse Hail to it's full potential, and therefor would make some changed here; you should first choose, do you want to go offensive or defensive? Choose and I will give you the changes.
 
Hey man, this team has some potential if you can find some sort of direction.

As people have clearly stated you have hail but no abusers for it.
Adding an abuser such as Kyurem/Mamoswine/Walrein would help.

If you do decide to stick with hail, adding leftovers instead of rocky helmet on Skarmory as the passive damage from hail hinders its longevity greatly, Lefties atleast cancels this out.

It would also help if you could expand your descriptions more as it would help people with there rating.

GL man
 
You need to expand on your descriptions. Check out the RMT archive to see the kind of detail we are looking for. PM me the changes and I'll unlock this. Thanks
