Rate My New Team (serious help please!!)

xat

Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 196 HP/18 Atk/146 Def/150 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Ice Fang
- Waterfall
- Stone Edge

My lead. This hits practically everything and with one DD it outspeeds all pokes 351 and under.Also my nape counter.


Starmie @ Life Orb
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 162 HP/216 Spd/132 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Recover
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt

This starmie can counter gyara the dragons and hit hard with surf. I gave it life orb to give it a little kick and since it has recover it can heal off the LO damage.


Celebi @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP/108 Def/150 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Grass Knot
- Leech Seed
- Reflect
- Recover

My metagross and suicune counter. After a reflect metagross cant do much to me and i can use leech seed and grass knot on suicune.


Spiritomb (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/6 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Dark Pulse
- Calm Mind

My main status absorber. Also counters azelf and gengar.After a few calm minds its pretty hard to take down.


Magnezone @ Leftovers
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 HP/160 Def/98 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Thunderbolt
- Magnet Rise
- Substitute

This thing is pretty cool. It can take down any steel type and bronzong since it has magnet rise and then use sub and kill it. Has def evs so it can take a bit of hits and is also strong against vaporeon and starmie.


Mamoswine (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Snow Cloak
EVs: 18 HP/252 Atk/240 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Ice Fang
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Ice Shard

My fast and powerful sweeper. It could kill garchomp if it gets and SD and also hits hard with stone edge and earthquake. Steel types arent too much of a problem since magnezone can take care of them.

Please rate and give me some useful information.
 
Consider running a LO-Swine. Magnezone will handle Bronzong and Skarmory, which will open up your opponents team a lot for a Mamoswine sweep. You should also consider running Jolly 236 Speed EVs as this would let you outrun neutral Lucario and any non-Scarf Heatran which is huge.

As for your Magnezone, max special attack and some special defence > defence seems more beneficial here. This would let you take some hits from Suicune and hurt it, which you'll need as you should be really afraid of Suicune.

SD Lucario currently walks all over you. A Shadow Ball / HP Fighting + Rest Talk Spiritomb will handle it very well though, and you wouldn't have to make any drastic changes. Choice Scarf Magnezone is actually capable of revengekilling it, and would open for a sweep for your current Spiritomb.
 
ill try replacing choice scarf for LO and also about the lucario part, i think gyarados might be able to stop it...
 
The problem with Gyarados is that it lack recovery, and will eventually be worn down, and the Stealth Rock weakness doesn't really help. It's a really bad excuse of a counter imo.
 
no, gyarados won't really be able to stop lucario, considering it has no recovery, has to switch in on sr, and is your lead on top of all that, which means that he'll be taking damage off the bat. and I agree with rag, please put a life orb on mamoswine. please. if you want fast strong earthquakes, scarfchomp is better for that kind of crap.

ugh, it really feels like scarfape walks all over you. I mean, gyarados has to switch in on sr every time he tries to come in ,and starmie doesn't like taking u-turns. I really feel like a resttalking cm suicune should go over celebi, still faring quite well against metagross and actually beating out those damn apes. now, gyara has to go, something like a fake out + sr infernape helps you get down rocks, and is wearing on those damn steels that you don't like very much. and since you now have a status absorber, something like a scarfchomp of your own over spiritomb could work, and once those steels are gone, scarfchomp and mamo can really wreak some havoc, between the ice shards and the fast powerful outrages, not much will be able to survive. also, scarfchomp gives you an "answer" to sdluke as long as you keep it reasonably healthy until sdluke makes his appearance. since they're both really lategamers, that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

anyways, as for minor nitpicks, please give magnezone some speed. the only thing those defense evs are doing is trying to magically take earthquakes or whatever. give it some speed to beat out metagross. anyways, sets and spreads and whatnot.

son, you aint gonna counter the whole metagame with 6 guys. suicune won't enjoy taking STAB thunderbolts from magnezone, nor will it enjoy, well, thunderbolts from starmie. and most of the time it's only gonna carry one move: surf, which means that starmie can take it on decently well. if he carries an attack over calm mind, then you can very easily just smash him with magnezone faster than he can kill you. if he does rest cm two attacks, then you get mamo in on the rest and kill him before he wakes up. suicune doesn't give this team any problems at all. worst comes to worst, it'll be a stall war between your cune and his. no problems at all with suciune.
 
ok then i will try it out. also i would like to know who would be the best poke to switch in on EQ's and ground type moves/pokemon since i dun got any ground resistor?
 
depends who's out. I'd prolly say cune, but don't overtax him the way I do with poor vapoeon. every now and then its okay to sacrifice a poke or two rather than switch.
 
Dont worry about countering stuff so much. 1 little crit and your goign to be taking a dump in your pants. Just build off other pokemons weaknesses and that will make them stronger as a whole.

Yeah, Choice scarf and ice shard makes absolutely no sense. PLease run a Choice band or LO please. LO is probably prefered because of the ability to switch atacks as you are free to safely iceshard without playing the predict\overpredict game with deadly dragons.
