Metagross @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 152 HP/252 Atk/104 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Agility
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Thunderpunch

This is my physical sweeper. Basically, speed up with agility and eliminate everything on this guys path. Shuca berry is so that he can resist a ground atack so that he is able to get one more hit. Didn't know well how to use him in my first battle although i took one down.

Gliscor (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 Def
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Roost
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang
- Knock Off

A physical wall for my team, Gliscor can take attacks and have its revenge. EQ for stab, ice fang for fly/dragon, knock off to mess someone up and roost for defensive reasons and recovery. didnt know how to handle him in my first try and perished to a T-tar's stone edge.

Gengar (F) @ Wide Lens
Timid nature
EV's: 4 Hp/ 252 Spe/252 SpA
-Hypnosis
-Focus Blast
-Thunderbolt
-Shadow Ball / HP ICE

changed mix electivire. Im not sure if I should include shadow ball or hp ice in here.

Spiritomb (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SpA
Modest nature (+SpA, -Atk)
- Hypnosis
- Calm Mind
- Shadow Ball
- HP Fight

With him i can wall special attack besides it has good defenses and resistances. Hypnosis lets me induce status while calm mind lets be boost its special defence and attack to kill everything on my path.

Heatran (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP/96 Def/100 SAtk/60 SDef
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Lava Plume
- Earth Power

this one can take a few hits and rest sleep talk lets it last a while. It died to tyranitar as well, never tought he would use earthquake. Need to improve. not sure about this one.

Empoleon (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP/4 Spd/252 SDef
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Grass Knot
- Yawn

This one completely saved me in my fisrt battle. took out 4 or 5 pkmn alone. the three special moves are perfect and yawn worked well to send them away or to put them to sleep. im keeping this one.


Please help me, im just beginning to play in the simulator, this is the best i have so far.
Thank you for your help!
 
First off you have a huge earthquake weakness with metagross, electivire, heatran and emploeon, i would personally take out electivire for a gengar you can pretty much get the same coverage with the moves(tbolt, focus blast, hp ice and possibly hypnosis) and you gain the earthquake immunity as well
 
well for heatran instead of a sleeptalker i would go with a choice scarfer because it's rarely expected and to say the least it works wonders when your Heatran is faster than most pokes IMO.

hope this helps
 
you have a huge LO-Gyara Weak,if Dusknoir is at low Health,i'd say you add Celebi over Dusknoir,it works great with Gliscor and Heatran together.

Celebi @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 Hp 220 Def 36 Speed (Bold)
Grass Knot
Leech Seed
Recover
Reflect
 
Well, nothing really, Breloom is very powerfull, very annoying but very frail. You can't avoid the spore so let him sleep one of yours. Breloom dies of almost any super effective attack so let him take that.
 
Use shadow ball on gengar for stab. Also your team should not have a sub seeder loom problem, just take baris's advice and use celebi, except use hp fire over reflect if your worried about loom.
