Rate my OU team please... I'm getting owned =/

CraziTennisKid

All of these sets are ones I took from Smogon. I've tried the team out, and I got owned haha. Did I mention I got swept by a Ninjask? lol. But... here's the team none-the-less.

Roserade (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Sleep Powder
- Toxic Spikes
- Grass Knot
- Hidden Power [Fire]

I really wanted a starter that wasn't named Gengar... so I picked Roserade. So basically, he's not working out that well for me. Although I have killed like 3 Venusaurs with HP.

Machamp (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/6 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dynamicpunch
- Ice Punch
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

Pretty alright. I wish I had something different but I'm not sure. I think I've been playing him wrong and bringing him in on really predictable moves.

Starmie @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 160 HP/216 Spd/132 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Rapid Spin
- Recover
- Surf

Rapid Spinner!!! I like Starmie I want to replace recover with another move but I'm not sure what to use.

Metagross @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 152 HP/252 Atk/104 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Agility
- Thunderpunch
I'm just really bad at using Metagross, I've always been really bad. I don't even know why I put him on my team haha. Any other Pokemon I could use?

Weezing (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Flamethrower
- Thunderbolt
- Haze
- Pain Split
I love Weezing! I'm thinking of putting will-o-wisp somewhere so I can have the same move set that I had in Advance.

---
Celebi @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP/220 Def/36 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Leech Seed
- Calm Mind
- Substitute
- Psychic

Fun to play with and I've swept a few people who had no idea what a substitute did. I think I could use a better choice. I'm thinking Alakazm?

Incase you didn't notice, three of your teammates have a psychic weakness. I suggest doing something about that. Nice username. :) Tennis rules.
 
Yeah, three Pokémon with a Psychic weakness hurts even through the other three Pokémon resist Psychic. Considering Deoxys-S kills off your whole team, I suggest using Pursuit on Metagross to kill it off. You could also run CB, as this will make you capable of 2HKO Celebi with Meteor Mash iirc.

CMCelebi was pretty cool in ADV, but is easier to handle in DP. You should never use Celebi without Recover as it's its selling point. Without recover you won't stay alive for a very long time, even with Leech Seed. You could always run Recover instead of Substitute, or maybe Leech Seed.
Oh, and Grass Knot is superior to Psychic. You'll be unable to hit Dark types at all, and any Dark Pokémon with Pursuit would tear you apart. Grass Knot got more PP then Psychic, which is really handy in stallwars against Suicune, etc.
 
starmie could use ice beam, you have no sashers or SR weakness so starmie doesnt need rapid spin, if you wanna get rid of rapid spin an decover you could give it ice beam and maybe even psychic for back-up STAB and the OHKO on gengar,

edit: look at what an azelf does if carries flamethrower, thunderbolt and psychic, if its fully evd in speed it will be faster than starmie and it will beat you all by itself, you have no special walls to stop this, yes celebi has CM but like rag said its easier to handle now, azelf would 2HKO if it carries life orb/expert belt or nasty plots
