Again, Gyarados trouble if it gets in safely. Firemonkey should be naive, and consider replacing Milotic with Slowbro as, while it doesn't have hypnosis, it does pull off what you're attempting to do a good deal better if you don't count Marvel Scale.
 
Heh, I was about to post a link to that thread too. ^_^ It's a awesome thread by the way; totally made me rethink my battle plans, but for the better.

nice team, but AsMedicham rapes 5-6 members of the team, jirachi is the only one. hope i helped!
 
Uhh.. it wasn't just a bunch of standards put together. I did give it some thought.
I was going for a team built around Landshark. T-Wave with Bliss then Jirachi wish passes it so Landshark can SD then sweep. Inferape is for ice and water types, Milotic is there to take on grounds and Mence is just there cause i needed a Sp Sweeper.
Any suggestions on how to counter Gyarados?
 
Something faster with thunderbolt, like Agnom or Zapdos. Otherwise, it depends on Gyara's moveset. It can only fit two attacks in, otherwise stuff could either wall it all day or just roar it out. Unless it's CB gyarados, which is easy to predict around.

Then why didn't you have the presence of mind to put this in your original post? Better yet, why didn't you come up with a more interesting title or more interesting movesets (perhaps ones that we haven't seen before).

The AGMence, Bliss, and Jirachi looks like you copy-pasted it from someone else's RMT.

You said yourself "Mence is there because I need a special sweeper," why would you pick another 4x ice weak dragon? Two ice beams and your offensive front just falls apart. Drop Mence for a special sweeper that counters Gyarados (or in short, something that has boltbeam and can take a hit).
 
Don't put Shadow Claw on Infernape, it hits nothing harder than your other moves. Grass Rope does more to Starmie and Slowbro, Flamethrower does more to every Ghost and In Fight does more to Lunatone and Solrock. The Lati twins are the only exceptions and you shouldn't be going up against either of them.

If you want something to counter Gyarados, use Porygon2 (yep, 2 not Z) or Starmie.

It'll work as a team overall, but I still don't think there's much thought behind your strategy. It seems you slapped six Pokemon that are common on other teams and hoped for the best.
 
So I changed to team a bit. Hopefuly Zapdos over Mence makes my team better. It solves my Gyarados problem(I think =P). Zapdos also has light screen to help Garchomp against sp attacks. Anymore suggestions?
 
Zapdos has problem switching in if Gyarados uses Stone Edge instead of Earthquake, but otherwise works ok as danced Waterfall from max ATK does around 55% max with your spread. You don't really need to Agilipass to something with 102 SPD stats, though, it really only affects Timid Starmie or HPice Zam I think, Pseudopassing light screen might be more useful and surprising to cover Garchomp's ice (beam) weakness.
