RATE MAH NEW TEAM.

Daaniel23

INTRODUCTION.
Hello Smogon, I am new to forums and this is my first RMT. I am not very experienced with competitive battling but i think i've come up with a very reliable pokemon team, Anyway thankyou in advance and this is my team.


Tyranitar @ Choice Scarf
Adamant Nature.
EVS: 252hp/32atk/224spD.
~Stone Edge.
~Crunch.
~Earthquake.
~Stealth Rock.

Description: Tyranitar goal is to mainly counter Azelf and to set up stealth rocks. I can usually OHKO Azelf with payback without no explosion but it can usally set up stealth rocks but i have starmie to rapid spin away so no drama really.

Starmie @ Leftovers.
Timid Nature.
EVS: 136hp/156Def/216Speed.
~Rapid Spin.
~Surf.
~ThunderBolt.
~Recover.

Descripton: Starmies main use on my team is to stop stealth rockers/spikers/toxic spikers. Surf usually takes care of incoming infernapes
and Mamoswines. Thunderbolt is mainly for Gyrados who starmie handles exceptionally well. And you obviously know recover is just ther for support.

Dragonite @ Life Orb.
Adamant Nature.
EVS: 252hp/52atk/204speed.
~Dragon Dance.
~Dragon Claw.
~Earthqauke.
~Roost.

Description: Dragonite was chosen over salamence since salamence is now uber, but that dosnt bother me since dragonite is much more bulkier. Dragon Dance and roost are there so he can heal quickly and raise his attack. I chose dragon claw over outrage for more reliability. Earthqauke is a great stab move and works exceptionally well with this moveset.

Jolteon @ Leftovers.
Timid Nature.
EVS: 252SpA/4Spd/252speed.
~Substitute.
~Baton Pass.
~HP (ice)
~Thunderbolt.

Description: Jolteons main objective is to sub and baton pass to help with my sweeping. Thunderbolt is my main stab attack. Hidden Power Ice is there to cover Gliscor.

Roserade @ Choice Scarf.
Timid Nature.
EVS: 4 hp/252Spa/252spd.
~Leaf storm.
~Sludge Bomb.
~HP (Ground).
~Sleep Powder.

Description: Willing to change. Roserades 252 speed is for outspeeding most pokemon so i can sleep powder and cripple them. Leaf Storm is there for swampert coverage. Sludge bomb is mainly for incoming celebis. And Hp ground is there for heatran.

Cresselia @ Leftovers.
Bold Nature.
EVS: 252hp/252def/4spA.
~Reflect.
~Moonlight.
~Ice Beam.
~Thunderwave.

Description: I LOVE THIS GUY! Cresselia is my support, it's high defense means it can easily take hits and recover from moonlight. Reflect allows cress and rest of team to take less damage from physical damage. I am considering changing moonlight for rest since sandstorm is apparently comming in the ou metagame. Ice beam is there for grounds and dragons. Thunder wave is to cripple pokemon and to slow them down.

Thankyou.
 
Before the actual rate, I'd suggest lengthening your descriptions a bit. Too short paragraphs can limit the amount of information that you actually get across to us, and it certainly doesn't look as appealing in an RMT.

Regarding an actual fix: Tyranitar as a lead might be better off running a Scarf. Chesto Berry really only works against lead Roserade and gimmicks like Gengar leads. Scarf not only outspeeds Roserade but makes T-Tar into a potent revenge killer later on. In addition, consider that Payback cannot OHKO Colbur Berry Azelf, which is becoming an increasingly common lead. If running ScarfTar, try Crunch instead.

However, I question the use of both T-Tar and Cresselia on the same team. Cresselia's bulk is amplified by the use of Moonlight, which is dramatically less effective in the presence of Sandstorm. You may want to fix that.

Instead of HP Ice on Jolteon, try Shadow Ball. Then you can cover enemy Celebi in addition to enemy Rotom.

Roserade seems a bit out of place here. First of all, Choice Scarf and Sleep Powder don't really mix well. Sludge Bomb is practically useless STAB; bug moves are better (Signal Beam on Jolteon?)

Hope I helped.

EDIT: Pictures can be placed by taking the url of the picture (and only the picture itself) and clicking the tab in the text box that looks like a mountain (on the same bar as the bold/italics/underline). Paste the URL in there and you should get the picture.

Oh, and please don't double post unless you're setting space aside for a threat list/team building process.
 
Thank You Jebus.

I will give crunch and scarf on tyranitar, And i might try blissey over cresselia and see how that goes. I might try shadow ball on jolteon later. What would you sugest in replacing roserade?

And next time i will try and lengthen my descriptions and make it more interesting to rate.

thank you.
 
I agree that on Jolt take out Hp Ice for either shadow ball or signal beam. Also, if you were to take Roserade out maybe you should try Hp Grass on Jolteon for Swampert and switch him to a special attacker over a subpasser? Seeing as the only poke that needs to set up on this team is Dragonite and it can take some hits with its bulk.

If you do switch Cress out for Bliss, try switching out Roserade for Gliscor, as Gliscor has good defensive synergy with Bliss(and Tyranitar),being able to take many physical hits, and also can make use of its Sand Veil ability with Tyranitar setting up Sandstorm.

Hope I helped. Gl.
 
First, I'm not sure what you are trying to do with your tyranitar lead. It only reaches 237 speed which is nothing. You don't outspeed azelf or anything besides like Metagross. I'd just change it to a regular scarfed one with 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe evs and a jolly nature. It will allow you to check Lucario better.

Now you have a problem with DD Ttar since he can ko all the members of your team. The only way you can currently stop him is by trying to revenge kill it with Roserade and use Leaf Storm which doesn't have that great of chance to KO. I think changing Roserade's nature from Timid to modest will help with this since you don't need all that speed since most of the pokes you check are also countered by other pokes on your team.
