Hello! I'm Pring0 and I'm new to battling. I started out a just a few weeks ago pretty much just messing around with teams hastly made. I would like to get better though, so I would appriciate some help with my teambuilding.
This team that I have here has worked OK for me, but it has some major flaws which I hope you can help me with.

Fingered (Machamp) (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 HP/160 Atk/96 SDef
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Dynamicpunch
- Payback
- Ice Punch

This is my lead Machamp which has worked wonders for me so far. He can sub up against any status user and then proceed to do damage with his powerful attacks. Payback is for Azelf and ghosts, Ice punch is for Gliscor and Chomp. I'm thinking of maybe changing Ice Punch for Thunder Punch for Gyara but I'm not sure.

SuperSaiyan (Zapdos) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/220 Def/36 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Roost
- Roar
- Hidden Power [Ice]
---
My physical tank and hazer. Does OK, but he kinda needs replacement since he can't 2HKO Chomp and gets owned by stone edge. I do need a hazer though so that I can get rid of those annoying Calm Minders. Roar works well with Tentacruels toxic spikes.
---
Myzelf (Azelf) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 36 HP/220 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Flamethrower
- Psychic
- Nasty Plot
- Grass Knot
---
My special sweeper. Switches in to EQ, plots up and proceeds to do damage. But Heatran keeps switching in, which is a problem. Works well as a revenge killer aswel.
---
Hentai (Tentacruel) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 204 HP/36 Spd/96 SAtk/172 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Surf
- Toxic Spikes
- Rapid Spin
- Ice Beam
---
My spinner. I absolutly need a spinner since Lucario has a sash. the EQ weakness is a problem though. Toxic Spikes are just nice to have agains those opponets who like to keep switching between walls. Liquid Ooze is nice against leech seed.
---
Anakin (Lucario) (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Bullet Punch
- Swords Dance
- Extremespeed
---
SDluke. My final sweeper. Sash alomst guaranties atleast one SD and 2 priority moves keeps those fast revenge killers away and helps agaisnt T-wave users. Maybe the EV spread could be tweaked considering my 2 priority moves? Works well as a revenge killer aswel.

1st AIDS (Blissey) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Def/40 SAtk/216 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Softboiled
- Ice Beam
- Thunder Wave
- Stealth Rock
---
Special wall. I wanted a cleric but then I have nothing to set up stealth rock with, which is a problem, because Zapdos keeps getting hit by toxic. TWave helps to slow teams down.
Overal Strategy:
Pretty much wear everything down as much as possible with Machamp, SR, Toxic Sipkes so that Azelf or Lucario can sweep. I realize this isnt much of a strategy but like I said, I'm new and have very little experience. But I want to get better, so help is appreciated.
Problems with this team/Theat list:
Alot gets pretty much owned by EQ. Once Zapdos is gone, Calm Minders pretty much roam free since their usually not killed by luke with one SD. I have no good strat against Chomp, though I usually manage him though he almost always takes down atleast one with him. I'm a bit Gyara weak aswel. Heatran keeps switching in to Azelf and being a bitch.
Thanks in advance!
