Rate my gimmick (Shoddy) team...a suprise, and a suicidal cottonball.

[FfMaStEr2121]

This team is based of the most gimmicky (need set uppy) pokemon I've seen recently. However, when this team racked up a 20-0 streak, I actually decided to do something with it. After changing a few pokemon, and specific things (natures, evs etc.), it turned to 25-1. Basically, this is the gimmick team, which turned out to be awesome.....as long as the opposition is unexpecting it <__<.

Sakura (Jumpluff) @ Focus Sash
Jolly
252 HP/ 252 Spd/ 4 Def
- Sleep Powder
- Stun Spore
- U Turn
- Memento

The lead. Goes for the sleep pretty much. This guy is all speed, and double powdering goodness. U Turn if I can't resist, thinking I may be able to get off a couple of guys without Memento. This guy, mainly sleeps, and Mementos. Just a note: You may be wondering why HP Evs and Focus Sash. I was thinking this guy should only take 1 hit at the most, but after a couple of crits, I decided to stick this on, ruling out any untimely crits.

Kakashi (Linoone) @ Salac Berry
Adamant
108 Atk/ 252 Atk/ 8 Def/ 4 SDef/ 136 Spd
- Belly Drum
- Extremespeed
- Shadow Claw
- Rock Smash

The main guy. A UU isn't usually my main guy, but this guy is one of the easiest to get off. If I Memento, I always switch to this guy, as the others are easier to get off. Belly Drum on their switch, or if they're frozen, sleeping etc. Extremespeed proves clutch in sooo many matches, it's not even funny. Shadow Claw for Mismagius etc. who would otherwise wall me.

Naruto (Lucario) @ Life Orb
Adamant
252 Atk/ 252 Spd/ 4 HP
- Swords Dance
- Extremespeed
- Crunch
- Close Combat

While not the main guy....an absolute beast. After an SD, this guy is a beast.

Bahamut (Charizard)
Jolly
252 Atk/ 252 Spd/ 4 Def
- Belly Drum
- Fire Punch
- Earthquake
- Substitute

Awesome. Standard BellyZard, yet so many people don't understand the power after a Belly Drum and Salac.

(Kira) Blissey
Calm
252 Def/ 40 SAtk/ 216 SDef
- Ice Beam
- Aromatherapy
- Thunder Wave
- Softboiled

Statuses really screw my team over. Paralysis and sleep especially. Imagine a priority status move.....*shudders*.

(Tinkerbell) Celebii
Bold
252 Def/ 252 HP/ 4 SAtk
- Leech Seed
- Recover
- Grass Knot
- Hidden Power Ice (70)

The evs probably need redoing, as special attacks can still rape this guy. Awesome seeder, one of the best IMO.

There ya go. All suggestions are accepted, as long as they are polite, and no flaming my team extreme.

Well as you said this is a gimicky team, but one of the problems you have is 1 free turn from the opponent can mean that they sweep since you are lacking in defense. The easiest thing to come in on is Blissey and even Celebi to some extent. You could easily use Machamp as a status absorber instead. Nothing really has the chance to set up on Machamp in fear of paralysis. Also something like Explosion Bronzong would be good over Celebi to handle Gengar and also not be setup fodder. I'm not sure I can remove all of the weaknesses since that will make it standard. Anyways the point is more offense, don't let the opponent switch in easily.

 

[Caelum]

I don't claim to be an expert at team rating but I just played this team, about 5 minutes ago actually, and (at least when you played me) this team had large problems with Choice Scarf Machamp, and Machamp in general I suppose. I haven't done the damage calcs but even after a Memento Dynamic Punch still took out your Linoone. To be honest I can't think of a way to fix this without doing something dramatic to the team. Possibly putting Psychic on Celebi, but I think most of us know Psychic on Celebi has very limited usage.

 

[Ambitions]

This team is all about setting up and it has very limited defensive power, meaning it would be very vulnerable to a quick sweep from stat boosters and Choice poke.

Stealth Rocks renders your Bellyzard useless so get a Rapid Spinier if you feel the need to use it. But I personally would just remove it from the team or move it up to the lead spot.

This team is also Fighting weak. Maybe replace Charizard with Duskinor if your stilling looking for some offensive power while giving your team some more staying power. Destiny Bond Duskinor is alot of fun and its effective.

 

[Wayff]

I've used Jumpluff before, actually, that same set except with Encore over Memento. If you really want to use Memento, use it over Stun Spore. Encore can screw over walls and set your Belly Drumers up. Celebi wants 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 Spd. I'd give it U-Turn to U-Turn out of other Celebi and go into Charizard and attempt to set it up. After a few Speed Boosts, Yanmega would really screw this team over, along with many other threats, so put RestTalk Heatran in there. Then, try Bronzong or Mespirit over Blissey, it covers your Garchomp weakness. Use Rest / Sleep Talk / Gyro Ball / EQ or SR on Bronzong, and Rest / Sleep Talk / SR / Ice Beam for Mespirit. It's up to you though, more attack or more defence.
