Hi Smogon, this is my first RU team and I think I did a good job with it. Please comment with some suggestions to help me improve my team. My team is more offensive than defensive and so could you recommend a pokemon switch? I need another tank or a wall in addition to steelix. I also have way to many sweepers...

EVs: 240 HP / 212 SDef / 56 Spd
Careful Nature

EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 Spd
Lax Nature

Typical RestTalk Poliwrath with circle throw to phaze and scald for burn. Nothing really special here.
Entei @ Flame Plate
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Flare Blitz
- ExtremeSpeed
- Stone Edge

My physical sweeper. Flare blitz is powerful physical STAB move, Xspeed for revenge killing, stone edge is for coverage and sleeptalk is so he can still go in on amoongusses and other sleep inducers
Sceptile @ Leftovers
Trait: Overgrow
EVs: 60 HP / 252 SAtk / 196 Spd
Timid Nature
- Giga Drain
- Hidden Power [Rock]

My special sweeper. Set up behind a sub and sweep. Giga drain is for hp recovery, HP rock and focus blast for coverage.
Dragonair @ Eviolite
Trait: Shed Skin
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 HP / 4 Atk
Careful Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Rest
- Outrage

Somewhat defensive dragonair set. Get a dragon dance up, then sweep with outrage and waterfall. Eviolite for defensive boosts. Rest is recovery method.
Steelix @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 220 Def / 252 HP / 36 SDef
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spd
- Stealth Rock

Steelix is my wall and entry hazard setup. Start with stealth rock setup, then either use quake or gyro ball. If neither are effective, use roar to get SR damage and attempt again for Quake or Gyro
