Rate my ou team careful newbie

cayr

ok so ive been competitive battling for a while now and my team is doing great but for some reason the same pokemon screw me over and im missing firepower but i dont find anything i like i play ou so i just want some suggestions so here it is my ou team:​

hippowdon.png

HappyHippo(Hippodown)*Leftovers
Sandstream
Bold nature
Evs Hp 252/Atk 42/Def 216
Earthquake
Stockpile
Slack off
Stealth rock​

My lead and def wall i ussually start stockpiling and the stealth rock when i know ill survive if not then just stealth rock and die.Still it takes some damage and i needed something to lead and wall with healin so this went well i was thinking taking stocpile an giving ice fang but i prefered defensive play with this one.​

breloom.png

Auttumn(Breloom)*toxic orb
Poison heal
jolly
Evs Hp 23/Atk 235/Speed 252
Spore
Focus punch
Seed bomb
Stone edge​

Basic physical sweeper poison heal for toxic spikes and gave it toxic orb anyways for trickers.The basic idea is sporing and then attack with what suits for the ocasion.I was somewhat undecided on fourt i tought facade but i gave stone edge for gliscor and giarados if my gengar died or if i got a spore on it.​

Weavile.jpg
​

ScaryWinter(Weavile)*Choice band
Pressure
Jolly
Evs Hp 40/Atk 252/Speed 216
Night slash
Aerial ace
Ice punch
Brick break​

Revenge killer says it all i didnt place ice shard because ice punch is stronger and i think it already is fast enough i used to have a infernape here but this is better as revenge killer and infernape wasnt working so i came with this.I was very undecided on its move pool but i think the coverage is what i needed for my team.
94.png

Black Phantom(Gengar)*Black sludge
Levitate
Modest
Evs Atk 58/Sp.Atk 200/Speed 252
Hypnosis
Shadow ball
Thunder bolt
Explosion​

My 1/2 special attacker its no very good cover but it does the job takes my biggest treats out gyarados and most flying, and its my favorite i need suggestions to change its moveset for higher coverage and im starting to think about taking out hypnosis becaues of breloom.​


Vaporeon.jpg

NonsingingSiren(Vaporeon)*Life orb
Water absorb
Evs Def 188/ Sp.atk 252/Speed 70
Surf
Ice beam
Hp Electric
Signal beam​

My special attacker not much to say except is a very good counter to water and waterfall gyarados it never get ohko by 1 DDgyarados.​

242blissey.gif
​
OMFGBLISSEY(Blissey)*Leftovers
Natural cure
Calm
Evs Hp 252/Sp.atk 69/Sp.def 189
Aromatherapy
Protect
Wish
Shadow ball​

Normal blissey except i gave it shadow ball for celebi and azelf who trie to set up.​

Thats it ill take any suggestions thank you!.
and im kinda a noob to competitive battlin so be gentle.​
 
well one major problem is that you have sand stream, but not a single pokemon besides hippowdon takes advantage of it. you're really only hurting your own team. you say that you lack firepower, so why not go with a more offensive lead? aerodactyl, jirachi, empoleon, infernape, etc. take your pick.
 
swiss just covered my sand stream comment.

Blissey will do junk damage to Celebi even with shadow ball, and Azelf is rarely used outside leading these days. Run Seismic Toss or something.

Weavile needs Ice Shard so he can revenge kill speed boosted dragons. Aerial Ace stinks on Weavile- Heracross is barely seen, Breloom is taken care of by ice moves, and Aerial Ace only musters 60% to the most common fighter, Infernape, whose stabs leave to question as to who is going to win 1v1. Pursuit, Ice Shard, and Brick Break are musts on Weavile. I'd recommend Night Slash as the last move to hit bulky ghosts and Cresselia harder.
 
Your Hippowdon is Bold Natured. Bold REDUCES Earthquake's power, so change Hippowdon to Impish.

Same with Breloom, he is Bold, which makes him VERY weak. Change him to Adamant or Jolly (Adamant is stronger, but Jolly is faster). Also on Breloom, maybe try Substitute over Stone Edge. I know he gets screwed by Flying-Types, especially Gyarados and Mence (Intimidate), but if you have a Sub up when they switch in, without Intimidate Focus Punch does 30%-40% average, and with SR, thats nearly 3/4 of their health gone.


Gengar needs Timid, because the extra speed is VERY needed for base 100's. Also, you could try Life Orb on him.


Vaporeon is good, but she functions much better as a staller. Try this set:


Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Bold
188 Hp / 252 Def / 68 Spe
-Wish
-Protect
-Surf
-Toxic / Ice Beam / HP [Elec]

Of course, you already have Blissey as a Wish passer, and if you REALLY want a special sweeping Vaporeon, maybe try Starmie (sweeping set) over it:

Starmie @ Life Orb
Timid
252 Spe / 252 SpA / 6 Hp
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Recover / Rapid Spin


But, Vaporeon is better against +1 Gyarados, since you need some coverage there.



Hope i helped a little!!

=D
 
^what swiss said about hippowdon, swampert is a very bulky lead that can work here
Swampert@Leftovers
252 HP/252 Def/4 Atk/Relaxed
Ice Beam
Earthquake
Stealth Rock
Roar


Weavile DOES want ice shard over aerial ace, b/c weavile isnt going to revenge will any +1 mences without it...

gengar is fine

what were you thinking on vaporeon... put wish in there so vaporeon can heal itself as it stands thats the only thing that can properly deal with a +1 gyara (no gengar does not) drop signal beam


Blissey is no, dont wish/protect on the same set as aroma therapy, use softboiled instead, and what were you thinking about shadow ball?? the only thing its ever going to do is be coverage next to seismic toss since it leaves you helpless vs steels and scizor
either do (wish/protect/flamethrower/toxic) or (aromatherapy/softboiled/thunder wave/ice beam)
 
Thanks i think i messed up with natures but im going to change my lead probably aerodactyl or jirachy and give blissey seismic toss bu im not taking wish because i need a wish passer and its the best sp.def altough i still need a physical wall suggestions?im thinking regirock cold work
and changing vaporeon for a bulk water possibly milotic.
 
first i would like to comment that you should put more details into your team,just giving the moveset and pokes is no good,we need to know what they do in a fight,better,what you want then to do in a fight,anyway,if you want a wall get registeel,regirock typing sucks for defense,and steel is the best mono-type defensive type of the game,also the only that resist dragon,another important fact is that you lack steel types,so dragon type moves really kill you,try checking the pokemon section for the list of common sets for pokemons,that can help you a little more to decide what moves would do any good,dont try milotic,if you want a bulk water,use swampert,i know he lack recovery,but you said that your team lack power,and swampert is all about power.
 
Crimson Leon likes the comma button, not even one period...

Edit: I spotted 1

Anyhow on to the team. Blissey wants flamethrower or seismic toss over Shadow Ball. Shadow ball is shit on Blissey and Gengar has it anyway...

Overall, 3 Pokemon on your team get wrecked by Scizor. Breloom get's dented hard by bullet punch, Gengar gets pursuited/bullet punched, and Weavile gets Bullet punched as well. Hippowdown is also a poor choice for a lead because Sand Stream hurts your teammates. Try this set on Gengar to lure out, and get the kill on Scizor:

Gengar @ leftovers
modest nature
EV's: 4 Def/hp, 252 speed, 252 special attack
Moves:
-substitute
-HP Fire
-shadow ball
-focus blast

This works wonders in removing Scizor. Always substitute first to scout, and if they switch in Scizor, nail them with hp fire. Works like a charm. Your team looks relatively solid other than that. Hope I helped!
 
ok so i changed it like this:
Metagross*occa berry(Lead changed for hippowdon and my physical wall)
Evs hp 252/Def 244/Speed 12
Impish
Stealth rock
Meteor smash
Bullet punch
explosion


Blissey*leftovers
calm
Evs(Same as before)
aromatherapy
fire blast
wish(ok im not changing this for wish support especially for starmie because of life orb)
Protect

Starmie*life orb(exchanged for vaporeon)
Evs hp 4/Sp.atk 252/Speed 252
modest
ice beam
Psychic
Tunder bolt
surf

Weavile*Choice band
Evs Atk 252/Hp 40/Speed 216
Jolly
Ice shard
pursuit
night slash
Brick break

And besides that i gave gengar hp fire thats it.

Mistakes?
