Forretress @ Normal Gem
Ability- Sturdy
EV's 252 ATK, 252 HP
Adamant Nature
-Explosion
-Volt Switch
-Stealth Rock
-Rapid Spin

Forretress is my lead, He looks to set up and explode or volt switch if mence can set up/ explosion won't do crap to the foe. His most important job Is keeping stealth rock off the field.



Latias @ Leftovers
Levitate
EV's 252 HP, 252 SpD
Calm Nature
-Toxic
-HP Fire
-Roar
-Recover

Latias is my main special wall. Set up with toxic and then recover. HP fire is there to deal with steel types that are immune to Toxic. Pokémon with substitute were giving this team massive issues so I switched light screen to Roar to deal with that. Latias covers Umbreon's weakness to ground.

Umbreon @ leftovers
Inner Focus
EV's 252 Def, 252 HP
Bold Nature
-Wish
-Protect
-Toxic
-Heal Bell

Umbreon is the main physical wall and cleric. Her Dark typing covers latias's weakness to ghost and psychic. Pokémon with substitute and obviously taunt really give Umbreon issues. Her goal is to wall physical threats while using wish and heal bell to easily out stall opponents and heal allies.

Togekiss @ leftovers
Serene Grace
EV's 252 HP, 172 DEF, 84 SpD
Bold Nature
-Toxic
-Air Slash
-Roost
-Reflect

Togekiss Plays off Umbreon's Fighting and Ground weakness, but unlike Latias it is capable of taking physical hits. it plays of Latias weakness to ghost and Dark. It sets up reflect and cannot be stopped physically. It is also decent at accepting special hits as well. Steel types give her the biggest problems.

Starmie @ Expert Belt
Natural Cure
EV's 252 SpA, 252 SPE
Timid Nature
-Surf
-T-Bolt
-Ice Beam
-Psychic

Starmie clears out many of the checks and counters that my walls possess. It takes out Dragons that try to come in and set up, It blasts Gengar and Terrakion. It conquers water Pokémon who hurt Togekiss and Latias and Mence. It provides excellent type coverage for my team. I've been thinking about changing his expert belt to a focus sash so that Toxicroak won't destroy it with a sucker punch, but I feel like it will miss the added power.

Salamence @ Lum Berry
Moxie
EV's 252 SPE, 154 ATK, 102 SpA
Naïve Nature
-Dragon Dance
-Outrage
-Fire Blast
-Hydro Pump

Mix Mence tears things up. He switches in on the steel types that are immune to the others toxic. He sets up and Fire Blasts them away. Hydro Pump just adds type coverage to deal with ground types.

Togekiss is up to switch, I just need somebody to cover my other walls weaknesses. Mamoswine gives me huge issues. Teams with taunt and substitute destroy me for my lack of attack moves.

You have four unused EVs on most of your Pokemon.

Hello malokair, I think you should replace psychic on starmie with rapid spin ,and I would give it a life orb.Then on Forretress get rid of rapid spin and use spikes, because you use a suicide lead so forry won't be alive to spin.

Hope I helped

 

[pokelegend]

Ehm.... Latias weak to psychic? Umbreon weak to ground? SALAMENCE USE HYDRO PUMP? LoL
Ehm... Salamense no learn hpump. And the weakness here are wrong. Give latias dragon pulse over hp fire, starmie need life orb and rapid spin, forretress no need rapid spin, better spikes or toxic spikes. I think you are no doing nothing to the opponent team. I think you better change pok, cuz you weak to much of the ou tier.

Ok there's a lot wrong with this team. First of all you have two dragon weaknesses with only one resistance that's a suicide lead so you won't be able to take hits more than once. Also on Salamence you have two special attacks and some SpA evs but you have a jolly nature. The first thing I want to change is Latias to heatran, heatran is a great special wall being able to wall many special attackers in the tier and with a nice dragon resist. The set I'd suggest is Max SpD and max HP, with roar, lava plume, protect, and toxic. I would go with the other guy and put spikes on forretress and rapid spin on starmie so you can spin more than once in a battle. I would also replace for the normal gem on forretress with a custap berry so that you can most of the time get more than one hazard up. I would also replace umbreon because he's not a good physical wall at all because of all the fighting and bug types in the tier. I would replace umbreon with a physically defensive jellicent, jellicent also spin blocks so that the opponent can't spin your hazards away. Replace hydro pump on Salamence with earthquake and the rest of the evs in SpA and put them into Atk. Lastly your team lacks a scarfer to revenge kill faster threats or boosted pokemon. I don't see togekiss doing much for your team so you could change him for a choice scarf thunderus t because it fixes your weaknesses to electric and grass. I hope this rate will be able to help you.
