Quick Team

TyphoonJake

Well, as my last team wasnt really good...I quickly thought of another...Also, when looking at a few of my pokemon,please help me with a moveset that will benefit from their items...
Well here is my team:

Scizor @ Expert Belt
Technician
28 HP / 252 Atk / 228 Spe
Adamant
U-Turn
Aerial Ace
Pursuit
X-Scissor
When thinking of a quick physical attacker, Scizor was the first pokemon to come in my mind. Technian is a godsend in 4th generation. Pursuit will maybe 1 hit ko Gengar or any other ghost types that try to mess with him. Aerial Ace is for Infernape and Heracross. U-Turn for alittle damage to psychic types while scouting. X-Scissor to have alittle fun on Alakazam, or other psychics. Also, while this is a good moveset (Credits to Smogon), please help me with another moveset and EV spread that goes with the Expert Belt for Scizor.

Slowbro @ Leftovers
Own Tempo
212 HP / 252 Def / 44 SpA
Bold
Slack Off
Surf
Ice Beam
Grass Knot / Psychic
Slowbro, a first generation "Bulky Water". His defense and special attack are pretty good so, being a physical wall isn't a problem. Surf is for Infernape/Gliscor/T-Tar. Ice Beam is for ANY physical dragon that may think Slowbro is a waste of time. Slack Off is to brush off damage that he takes. The last slot is funny...Grass Knot is for any other Water type that trys to switch in on Slowbro, or for those huge rock/ground types that try to block Slowbro. Psychic is for Heracross (I dont think it will do much...) or Infernape or any other fighting or poison type that gets in his way.

Magmortar @ Expert Belt
Flame Body
84 Atk / 252 SpA / 172 Spe
Mild
Flamethrower
Thunderbolt
Cross Chop
Psychic / HP Ice
This pokemon interested me. Looking at his stats, he's just a Special Attack Sweeper-Fire Version of Electrivire. Flamethrower is for annoying Ice types and the ANNOYING Forretress/Skarmory/and HERACROSS. Thunderbolt is for water types that think they've beaten him. Cross Chop for the rock types and Blissey. Psychic is a surprise for Infernape and Heracross, as well as Gengar! HP Ice...hmm...that might take some time to get, but it destroys Dragons and "Semi" Dragons (T-Tar).

Blissey @ Leftovers
Serene Grace
148 HP / 252 Def / 104 SpA / 4 Spe
Bold
Ice Beam
Seismic Toss
Thunder Wave
Softboiled
Standard Blissey. Nothing to really say about her...sorry...but who DOESNT know about Blissey and her crazy walling abilities?

Swampert @ Leftovers
Torrent
240 HP / 216 Def / 52 SpA
Relaxed
Ice Beam
Earthquake
Surf
Stealth Rock
I never understand how X-Type/Ground pokemon make great physical walls and Tanks...Anyway, Ice Beam for Dragons/ground/and Rocks. STAB Earthquake for Infernape. (Even if he's packing Grassknot.) Surf for most ground types that try to wall him. Finally, Stealth Rock to help the team.

Gliscor @ Leftovers
Sand Veil
252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish
Roost
Ice Fang
Aerial Ace
Taunt
Once again the X-Type/Ground question comes to mind, especially when thinking that most flying type pokemon have very low defense. Anyway, Gliscor is one crazy bat-scorpion thing.With all the Sandstorming teams popping out of nowhere now, Sand Veil is a staller/saver. Ice Fang is for the likes of Garchomp, or other dragons. (I have to be careful because of Draco Meteor running around like a spreading virus these days...) Seeing as Spike and Poison Spike and Stealth Rock are at your feet and around you every game, Taunt is a useful move to use. Aerial Ace counters the crap out of Infernape, Breloom, and dundundun: Heracross! Roost is to shake off damage from any threat or Stealth Rock.


Also, I need some help with various threats for this team...
Thanks in advanced for rating and suggestions.
 
This team kind of gets destroyed by Mixape, so I'm thinking you might want to swap something like Gyara, Starmie, or Salamence in for Swampert, since it does the same thing as Gliscor pretty much. Slowbro needs to have HP Electric for the fourth slot, or you can watch all day as Gyara DD's up and sweeps you. Remove AA on Gliscor for EQ, or else you can't do anything to Tyranitar and Metagross. If you remove Swampert like I said, then also replace Taunt for Stealth Rock on Gliscor. HP Ice over Psychic on Magmortar. Other than those things, not a bad team. One thing you might want to try is this Gliscor:

Gliscor @ Leftovers
~Hyper Cutter
~Jolly
EV's:252 Hp/4 Atk/252 Spd
-Rock Polish
-Baton Pass
-Roost
-Earthquake

It allows you to BP Rock Polishes to your Magmortar, making sweeping more possible. You could also use the same set with a more defensive EV spread if you feel you'll need it.
 
Pretty much as RT stated, quite MixApe weak there. The best way to solve it, IMO, is Gyarados as Starmie can fall to a predicted switch-in Grass Knot while Salamence is no match for Infernapes with Hidden Power Ice, due to Ape outspeeding it and having the power to OHKO it. Gyarados, on the other hand, is 3HKO at max (not factoring in SR, which is otherwise a 2HKO). Gyarados is probably your best bet, or a Special Defensive Zapdos.

Your team's lack of speed is just going to do you harm. You should probably add at least 1 speedy sweeper. Consider Infernape over Magmortar really. Though it lacks less fire-power when using Special Attacks, it has just what it needs to KO threats to it (with Life Orb), baring Gyarados. Infernape is obviously a lot faster, which is what you may just need.

Something to help compensate your lack of speed would be priority moves. Scizor can make great work of Quick Attack with its Technitian ability. You should try this kind of set or something similar;
Scizor @ Life Orb
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Def
~ Swords Dance
~ Quick Attack
~ X-Scizzor/Brick Break (Although I find Scizzor more useful for Celebi and Cresselia etc.)
~ Roost

As for Slowbro, I suggest Calm Mind on it as it works best with it, allowing Slowbro to take Special attacks quite easily. With at least 2 calm minds under its belt, it can tank pretty much any attacks except for Toxic. CalmBro also makes a great counter to Gyarados as Gyarados can't really hurt Slowbro. If this is on Shoddy, slap HP Electric onto it to KO Gyarados more easily, otherwise Gyarados will just run rampant around your team.

Swampert @ Leftovers
Torrent
240 HP / 216 Def / 52 SpA
Relaxed
Ice Beam
Earthquake
Surf
Stealth Rock
I never understand how X-Type/Ground pokemon make great physical walls and Tanks...Anyway, Ice Beam for Dragons/ground/and Rocks. STAB Earthquake for Infernape. (Even if he's packing Grassknot.) Surf for most ground types that try to wall him. Finally, Stealth Rock to help the team

Ice isnt super Effective against rocks. But Surf's got it. Also, ground types wont come into swampert. It's water types that do.

Overall the rest is pretty solid. Im having a pretty hard time finding any weaknesses that stuff can't switch into. I see grass being of the only concern. Starmies with Grass Knot may get your Swampert and Slowbro. So Psychic/Grass Knot on Slowbro could be replaced by Calm Mind. Or, as an alternative; BulkyGyarados would work just as well. Gliscor and Swampert would cover it's Electric weak. Though, only swampert covers it's Rock weak,
 
I have a question about my Slowbro. Gyarados would just DD like crazy then sweep the crap out of me, so what should I use? Calm Mind or HP Electric? And like Junior and PirateDelux stated, Starmie and Gyarados would be easier to tank with Calm Mind. And They would both also be easy with HP Electric.
 
Natural Cure > Serene Grace on Blissey if you don't run CM Bliss (and even there, would I suggest Natural Cure). You really don't want your Blissey getting Statused, especially not with all those Toxic Spikes around (which Blissey can take on much easier if she has Natural Cure)
