( This is my first post)
So I am low ladder OU player and need help and advice to improve my team.

So here it is: ( sorry for my bad spelling)


1) Galvantula



Galvantula @ Focus Sash

Ability: Compound Eyes

EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

Hasty Nature

- Sticky Web

- Bug Buzz

- Thunder

- Sucker Punch


So my lead is galvantula. It can setup sticky web so gives a little speed control to team. Thunder is for toxapex and pelipper. Sucker punch is for utility.

Bug buzz is stab.


2) Ninetales- Alola



Ninetales-Alola @ Light Clay

Ability: Snow Warning

EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

Timid Nature

IVs: 0 Atk

- Aurora Veil

- Nasty Plot

- Blizzard

- Moonblast


So this is second possible lead. Aurora veil boost defences , nasty plot to setup. Blizzard is to check landorus and others . Moonblast is for Urshifu.

3)Kartana

Kartana @ Life Orb
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Sacred Sword
- Smart Strike
- Leaf Blade
- Knock Off

Kartana is the physical attacker of the team. Combined with sticky web , nothing can stop it to sweep
after one or two beast boosts.

4) Spectrier

Spectrier @ Leftovers
Ability: Grim Neigh
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute
- Nasty Plot
- Shadow Ball
- Dark Pulse

This is the special attacker of the team. Substitute is to prevent sucker punch and rest moves are due to its weak move pool. But its still good.

5) Cinderace

Cinderace @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Libero
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Pyro Ball
- Zen Headbutt
- Sucker Punch
- U-turn

I have no need to explain this thing.
Its the counter for grass and ice types.

6) Drampa

Drampa @ Leftovers
Ability: Cloud Nine
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Calm Mind
- Dragon Pulse
- Thunderbolt
- Hyper Voice

Now this is a interesting pick. It's 1st role is to check weather teams.
The 2nd role is to help in trick room
teams because of its low speed.

Please enlighten me how to improve this team.
 
Galvantula's moveset for sticky web is normally
Thunder
Sticky Web
Volt Switch
Bug Buzz/Energy Ball
Sucker Punch doesn't help much as Galvantula's attack stat is bullcrap. Volt Switch helps gain momentum for the team.


I guess Ninetales can stay, I'm not sure why you need it because it kinda just chips your team down with hail and Clefable is better check to urshifu.

Kartana is fine I guess. Spectrier is fine.

Cinderace's moveset is interesting. Most people run life orb with Pyro Ball, High Jump Kick, Sucker Punch/Gunk Shot, and U-Turn for momentum.
You should change Zen Headbutt to High Jump Kick.

Drampa is a weird pick because there are better Trick Room abusers being Melmetal which can do massive damage when Banded or Life Orb.

I'm new to smogon, so these might not help much but I hope it somewhat helps.

Have a great 2021!
 
Hi, welcome to Smogon! I am locking your RMT for the time being as the forum rules require that you provide at least three lines of descriptions for each Pokemon to explain their roles. Please read the rules carefully and look at Team Showcase to see the detail we require. PM me with updated descriptions, and I will be happy to unlock this.
