[pichuman]

ok so first im going to start off with saying i am new to super competively battling. So i dont want any mean comments saying im a noob and stuff like that. I just want to hear some nice non mean comments about how to make my team better. Not how much it sucks. thank u anyways
Team At A Glance

@ Leftovers
Evs:216 HP / 16 Atk / 176 Def / 100 Spe
Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Adamant
Dragon Dance
Taunt
Waterfall
Earthquake

This guy is my lead. I went with bulkydos because i felt like me team needed some extra help defensively. So basically send him out and use dragon dance or taunt which ever is neccsary and then sweep if possible.

@ Life Orb
Evs: 160 HP / 132 SpA / 216 Spe
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Timid
Rapid Spin
Recover
Thunderbolt
Hydro Pump

So this guy is my rapid spinner. which is important now a days. Also he is my gyarados counter and is a special sweeper. He is fast and very powerful with life orb.

@ Choice Band
Evs: 252 Speed / 252 Attack / 4 Hp
Ability: Guts
Nature: Adamant
Megahorn
Close Combat
Pursuit
Stone Edge

This guy is just wow. He is powerful and can switch in on dusknoir to get a WOW and he can pursuit any psychics that try and escape. He is just a great strong physical sweeper to my team.

@ Leftovers
Evs: 252 Hp / 252 Defense / 4 Attack
Ability: Hyper Cutter
Nature: Impish
Earthquake
Roost
Aerial Ace
Stealth Rock

This is a great defensive wall. Also sets up stealth rock and is my only real hera counter. which is y i have ariel ace.

@ Leftovers
Evs: 252 hp / 129 Def / 64 Sp. Def / 64 Sp. Attack ???? ( I need help)
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Mild
Calm Mind
Moonlight
Ice Beam
Charge Beam

This is just a basic tank i think. It can also be a dragon stoper. I need help with the evs though i think. But this can take many hits and can recover with moonlight. Can also take down dragons with its ice beam.

@Leftovers
Evs: 252 Def / 148 hp / 12 Speed / 52 Sp. Attk / 44 Sp. Def
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Bold
Thunder Wave
Seismic Toss
Ice Beam
Softboiled

I just love this Blissey. I think i may need help on moveset. But i never had this let me down before.... and im sorry i love the lil pink piece of garbage. and so everyone knows its my special wall.

So thats my team. Idk seriously how good it is at all. I hope i did good and like i said earlier plz be nice and i know im new i just dont want it to be rubbbed in my face thats all. Thanks to all that help and know im open to suggestions thank you.

Edited my team. And i wanna thank everyone who commented my team. I really appreciated it. and keep the comments coming to make my team even better :) thanks again to anyone and everyone who helps

Very cute team. However, opposing Gyarados totally shuts your team down. You can't switch into it, and your only option is to revenge kill it, an attempt that will fail if Gyarados gets two DDs. Furthermore, Heracross is capable of picking off your team one by one. So these are the two things that we will address >:D

I'm not too sure Porygon Z is up to par anymore, especially since most special walls are capable of walling the hell out of it. Let's replace it with something that counters Gyarados, and something that can actually do something. Let's add Vaporeon. Wish, Toxic, Surf, HP Elec. This way, bulky waters no longer force you into a Stall War, and Toxic to slowly wear crap down. of course, if you want rapid spin, you can also go with Starmie, with Life Orb Hydro Pump to make up for the lost offenses from Pory Z. Hydro Pump, Thunder Bolt, Recover, Rapidspin. You can risk Hydro Pump, since you have Cress as your Infernape counter. Why am I recommending rapid spin if you already have donphan?

Rapid Spin because we'll be replacing Donphan! Donphan is outdated nowadays, since it really can't do much offensively nor can it recover. So since you're Heraweak anyway, we'll add Gliscor! Gliscor does the same thing except it can recover! Ice Fang/Earthquake/Roost/Stealth Rock. This will patch up your team so you're no longer Heraweak.

First, blissey is no garbage. Good team overall, no weakness to a specific type. I suggest you follow tangerine's add-on's, although I don't really think pory-z is that outdated. But if you're going to switch donphan (which I suggest), you'll have to switch pory-z, I guess, if you want a spinner. Also, counter on bliss isn't that good, is it? I suggest you replace it with something that can do damage to ghosts, ice beam for example. If you're stuck with a gengar, you will really have a problem. If you're keeping pory, switch you're ability to Adaptibility. Anyways, good luck and welcome to smogon, hope this helped!

 

[Jigo]

overall, a good team. i run the same porygon-z nd i love it! except i have adaptability instead of download, as download is sometimes unreliable. on cresselia i'd go with charge beam over psychic, to beat gyarados. also, you get that special attack bonus sometimes!

 

[TAY]

Rather than replacing Pory-Z with Starmie, I would go with one of the bulky steels, either Forretress, Bronzong, or Skarm. Forry is good if you feel that you need a spinner (note that I stand by Tangerine's replacement of Donphan with the superior Gliscor), Bronzong is good if you want sleep support, and Skarm is good if you want a phazer. One of these is almost necessary, since, with no dragon resist and a generally slow team, you really have very little chance of beating a SD yache chomp. Gliscor and Cress can force it to outrage or else be KO'd with a second ice [move], but you need to be able to handle the subsequent outrages or else lose 2-3 members of your team. All three steels do that nicely, and each has unique benefits that help beat garchomp as he outrages (t-spikes on forry, hypnosis on zong, roost/WW/spikes on skarm).

Jolly is something to consider on Heracross, as it can be a huge fixer if your primary counters to Mamoswine and Lucario go down, but Adamant is probably OK unless you find yourself having a lot of problems with those two.

Moonlight really isn't viable on cress due to the frequency of Tyranitar; Rest/Talk is really your only option. Rest/Talk/Ice Beam/Psychic should work ok, countering dragons and infernape and punishing those Heras who try to switch in for a free attack. I don't use cress much so I don't know a good EV spread offhand, but you will probably want it to be bold. Also, cress doesn't need 252 HP EV's, so you can put some of those into her defense.

Counter probably isn't the best option on Bliss anymore, since she is a lot easier to OHKO than she was in ADV, and Stat-Ups are way more common. Ice Beam is probably the better option, since Garchomps will switch in and set up on Bliss all day if they figure out you don't have it, and it will allow you to hit Gengar back. Also, a good EV spread for bliss is 148 HP / 252 Def / 12 Speed / 52 SpAtk / 44 SpDef. I know it looks odd but it one that I have used successfully for some time. The 12 speed is actually very useful; you never know when you'll need to beat your opponent's bliss with a softboiled or their machamp with a seismic toss!

Good Luck; Hope this Helps! --TAY

EDIT: I just realized that I left you with no Gyara counter! Cress can be given Charge Beam or HP Electric; It would probably help if Gyara took stone edge over EQ or taunt, as well.

 

[kentpkmn11]

A good team. However, your Blissey's ev spread is not good. It's better if you would put 252 HP, 252 Def and 6 Sp.Defense because Blissey can take Special Attacks even with low ev in sp.defense. Also, Counter is not good for blissey anymore. You can replace Counter with Shadow Ball/Ice Beam. Shadow Balls for Dusknoir, Gengar, and other ghost type who resists Seismeic Toss. And Ice Beam is for Dragon types like Garchomp, Dragonite, and other dragon type pokemon. The thing is that if you choose Ice Beam you have to T-wave your foe's dragon type poke or else he/she can outrun your bliss and kill it.

I hope this helps!Good Luck!

 

[pichuman]

Just so everyone know i just edited a lot of stuff. And would like a quick update on how my team is looking. thank you :)

 

[Aeroblacktyl]

I'd just generally go with 252/252 on Cresselia with HP/Def. It'll last a lot more, as you'll most likely taking more physical attacks. The boost in Calm Minds also make you not care as much about trying to give it some SpAtk. It's not like that was enough to significantly hurt a certain Poke.

Also, the big issue here, biggest of all, is probably Tyranitar. Whether it's DDTar, Boah or CBTar, you're going to have issues. Gliscor is probably fine for it, as the biggest hurting move, Stone Edge will probably miss against it. Now the issue is with the other 2. Something we -could- try out here is a Rest/Sleep Talk Heracross. While asleep, it hurts as much as with CB, albeit you don't get to go apeshit with 4 moves. However, this does add a sleep absorber, a better Boah/DDTar counter, and still hits hard. Just a thought though.
