Changes in RED
Shit I'm not sure about in PURPLEISH

At a Glance:

A Closer Look:

Metagross @Leftovers
Adamant Nature
Ability: Clear Body
252 Hp / 252 Atk / 4 SpD

~Stealth Rock
~Meteor Mash
~Earthquake
~Bullet Punch

Why?: I've never tried a Metagross lead before, but I thought that he would do great, even with the nerf of explosion. Unless against a taunt lead, he gets up rocks, and with his bulk, and massive attack, usually survives long enough to do some damage as well. Meteor mash is powerful STAB, and EQ gives good coverage. In addition, he has the option of priority in the name of Bullet Punch. Overall, I think he can be a destructive Pokemon and do some damage to an unprepared team.

Latios @ Life Orb
Timid Nature
Ability: Levitate
4 Hp / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

~Dragon Pulse
~Thunderbolt
~Surf
~Hidden Power [fire]

Why?: I chose Latios because he covers the two weaknesses that Metagross has. Latios is a very potent sweeper and can do a lot of damage to a team, with his large Special attack, and good type coverage. He can hit practically any pokemon for atl east neutral damage, and with 130 base SpA, and life orb, he can be a powerful force. I'm not completely sure about Life orb because I don't like recoil, but the extra damage is probably worth it. I've also considered running a calm mind variant, but those aren't as quick IMO.

Breloom @ Leftovers
Adamant Nature
Ability: Technician
4 Hp / 252 Atk / 252 Spe

~Spore
~Swords Dance
~Mach Punch
~Bullet Seed

Why?: First off, I'm not completely sure this set is legal, but for current purposes, I will assume it is (tell me if it isn't). If used properly, Loom can be a great sweeper. Spore gives him a free Dance, and from there, he can wreck havoc with techni Mach Punch. Bullet Seed also enjoys a boost from technician aswell as providing and additional STAB option. Leftovers heal damage he might have taken on the spore turn, and get him to a healthy state so he can spore again if need be. I've considered replacing bullet seed with substitute, but I think that being a mono attacker would hold him back to much.

Suicune @ Leftovers
Bold Nature
Ability: Water Absorb
252 Hp / 252 Def / 4 SpD

~Scald
~Calm Mind
~Rest
~Sleep Talk

Why?: Suicune covers a weeknesses that my team, so far, has. Namely, water and Ice. Water absorb is pretty helpful at times, too. Basically, though, it's the old CroCune set. Scald is slightly better that Surf IMO because the chance to burn. If he has enough time to set up, suicune can do a lot of damage and stall-wall all day. Overall, Suicunes defensive capabilities and convenient typing make him a great pokemon on this team. His only problem is as a monoattacker.

Terrakion @ Life Orb
Jolly Nature
Ability: Stupid shit that doesn't matter
252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe

~Sacred Sword
~Stone Edge
~Swords Dance
~Rock Polish

Why?: When I first saw this guy, the first thing that cae to my head was "Bad-ass version of Tauros". and really, that's what he is. his dual stab is amazing and resisted by nothing in the OU meta. This allows for him to carry only two attacks, and two utility moves. The only problem I have with him is that stone edge sucks ass and misses. Substitute I'm not sure about. Rock polish is helpful against fast teams, which tend to have less bulky pokemon. Swords Dance is used against stall or some bulky offense teams. His respectable bulk allows him to take hits, too. Expert belt is ran because of how amazing his STAB is.

Chandelure @ Choice Scarf
Modest Nature
Ability: Shadow Tag
252 SpA / 4 Def / 252 Spe

~Flamethrower
~Shadowball
~Hidden Power [ice]
~Energy Ball

Why?: Chandelure is hardlyarguably the best revenge killer in the game. I chose him because I needed something to take out powerful steel types if Latios is no longer around. His moveset allows good coverage, and allows hi to revenge very well. My biggest problem with him is I detest choice items. I hate how limiting they are, but he absolutely needs it to be an effective revenge killer.



Thank you so much for reading the post, and all advice, pointers and suggestions are much appreciated

This is a pretty good team, although you need to put the dream world tag on it and run it that way because Chandelure and Breloom both are using theirs.

For Metagross, the set is standard and everything looks fine. The only thing I would maybe change is that you don't have a great answer to Gyarados and would probably run Thunder Punch over Bullet Punch since you have Mach Punch on Breloom anyway.

For Latios, I would recommend that you run Surf over Psychic, because Psychic has poor coverage and surf gives you more coverage. I would also run Draco Meteor over Dragon Pulse so you can hit harder right from the start. Finally, I would personnally change the item from Life Orb to Choice Specs because the extra power is great at taking out threats, but you said you hate choice items so that is your choice.

For Breloom, the set is the standard Techniloom. I still think that the Sub-Seed set is going to work better and will recommend it below, but the set you have is the favorite of Gen V and a good set still.
Breloom @ Toxic Orb
Ability- Poison Heal
Nature- Adamant
Ev's- 252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Spd
1. Spore
2. Substitute
3. Leech Seed
4. Focus Punch
This set is an absolute pain to take down once it is set up. Spore is there because it is the single best move in the game, no arguments allowed. Substitute is to protect yourself from status and so you can land Focus Punches. Leech Seed is for draining the opponent and recovery, with this and Poison Heal, you are recovering back 25% per turn. Finally Focus Punch for an attack, although if you are worried about multi-hit moves or want priority, run Mach Punch.

Crocune is a great pokemon, and that is the standard set, so no changes there.

For Terrakion, there is not really a need to run Substitute, the common practice is to run Rock Polish, although X-Scissor or Earthquake can also be run there. I would also recommend running Life Orb again rather than Expert Belt because the power boosts is always there and is more too, but you say you hate Life Orb also so you don't have to.

Scarf Chandy is fine, although I would highly recommend that you run Fire Blast over Flamethrower to have more power. And why do you hate attack boosting items so much, no Choice Items and no Life Orb? These are the back bones for attacking teams, and while this is more of a bulky offensive team, almost every team should have one pokemon that can go out from the start and hit hard.

Good Luck

Thank you so much for the advice. And I don't hate life orb, I just don't like the recoil. But I do hate choice items. I'll try and put more life orbs though.
Also, I'm not sure about keeping breloom on here, But I do want a priority attacker, and breloom had good synergy with the team, and like you said, spore is frickin' amazing.
Dragon dance Gyarados can be a problem, because if he gets his speed higher than Latios, and Terrakion, I don't have much to answer with. But With low speed, bullet punch is nice when Metagross is about to die.
Psychic on Latios was to handle the plethora of fighting types that this gen has, but I can see why surf would be superior.

Again, thank you so much.

PS. On my computer, it does say dreamworld. ???
