Hi
first of all let me just say, i am new to this site so i apologise for any errors. Anyway, could anybody please rate my team (a doubles team), which by the way is an ou metagame team, please and give any advice as to how to make it better or how to change it.
Team Building Process
I started with mega charizard y because it is an absolute beast as a special sweeper, OHKOing many things with its drought ability. Heat wave is a great move which can hit both my opponents pokemon and with drought has around 362 power against a 200 defense pokemon. Solar beam can hit without charging and against water pokemon and i have dragon pulse to defeat dragons.
Next, was garchomp. One of the best physical sweepers in the game with high speed and pairs well with mega charizard y since i will have on my team 1 special sweeper and 1 physical sweeper so that tanks or walls can't out stall me for long. Also, when they pair up at the beginning, garchomps phenomenal earthquake won't hit mega charizard y because charizard is immune and mega charizard y's heat wave won't do much damage to garchomp. Also, mega charizard y covers gar chomps ice weakness.
Then, salamence came to join the party. It is a great mixed sweeper which means tanks and walls are pretty much useless against it since it can counter a physical and a special tank/wall. Also, i can trick people into making people think i am using a physical salamence when i can then reveal that it also has special moves. Again, pairs well with mega charizard y and garchomp for his earthquake.
Scizor is the next member of my team. A great set up sweeper which utilises swords dance and priority bullet punch. The main idea with this pokemon, is to use swords dance and then sweep practically all pokemon with bullet punch. Bullet punch is also boosted with technician, life orb and STAB.
Finally we get into the tanks. Ferrothorn is my physical tank in this set, great defense, special defense and hp combined with gyro ball which normally hits with an astonishing 150 base power and power whip to obliterate opponents. Stealth rock is also there for set up purposes and leftovers just helps ferrothorn from fainting.
Our last pokemon is wash pokemon. A great special tank that can absorb special hits from popular pokemon choices like gardevoir and mega charizard y. Also has thunder wave to paralyse and then allow a sweeper to come in (from my team) and demolish that pokemon. Also since two of my pokemon are incredibly weak to fire, wash rotor protects them from any threats.
