I know a fair amount on making teams, but I don't know too much about "walls" and "batonpassers" and stuff like that. But whatever, here is my team, please rate on a scale of 1-10. And don't be afraid to leave constructive criticism.
*means STAB
Swampert @ Leftovers Impish Torrent 252 HP/252Def/6 Atk
-Waterfall*
-Earthquake*
-Avalanche
-Stealth Rock
Swampert is a sturdy wall and is a good lead to set up SR. After SR I can either switch or have 2 powerful STABs and Avalanche is good for the pesky 4x grass weakness. His moveset may look like a physical sweeper, but he is mainly a physical wall.
Togekiss @ Leftovers Calm Serene Grace 252HP/252SpD/6Def
-Air Slash*
-Aura Sphere
-Roost
-Thunderwave
This moveset is called Paraflincher. With Serene Grace the Thunderwave paralyzes them 30% more, which is good IMO. Togekiss has amazing HP and SpD and he is a Speciall wall/sweeper. He walls pretty good and roost gives him good HP. Air Slash is a good STAB to have and Aura Sphere can take out Heatran/Bronzong and any other commonly used lead.
Magmortar @ Choice Specs Modest Flame Body 252SpAtk/252Spe/6HP
-Overheat*
-HP:ICE (70)
-Focus Blast
-Thunderbolt
This guy is mainly for the OHKO sweep with good type coverage. His speed is too low to even consider Scarf/Timid so I went with Modest/Specs. Overheat is a powerful STAB that will OHKO Bronzong/Skarm. Focus Blast takes out Heatran, and Thunderbolt takes out the ever popular Gyarados.
Alakazam @ Life Orb/Choic Scarf/Specs Timid Synchronize (See magmortar)
-Psychic*
-Shadow Ball
-Energy Ball
-Focus Blast
Not sure how vital he is to my team, but he is my favorite pokemon. Obviously Alakazam is a good Special Sweeper and his Psychic is an extremely powerful STAB. Shadow Ball can take out the Dark type, which I couldn't do otherwise. Energy Ball is there because it is the only grass move on my team, and it can take out a sturdy Swampert. Focus Blast is there for the aforementioned reasons with Aura Sphere(Togekiss) and Focus Blast(Magmortar). I'm not sure as to what item to pick so I really need help in that.
Dusknoir @ Leftovers Careful Pressure 252HP/252SpDef/6Def
-Confuse Ray
-Rest
-WoW (Will-o-Wisp)
-Snore/Facade
This guy is a Tank/Annoyer. WoW for obvious reasons such as constant damage and -%50 attack (makes him an even better wall). Confuse Ray to piss you off all the more. Rest to get HP, and I'm not sure to go with Facade or Snore, need help with that as well.
Nidoking@Expert Belt/Life Orb Lonely Poison Point 252 Atk/172SpAtk/86spe
-Earthquake*
-Megahorn
-Fire Blast
-Ice Beam
Nidoking is there for breaking the common walls. Earthquake takes out heatran. Fire Blast for Skarm/Bronzong. Ice Beam for Gyara. And Megahorn is just there because it is powerful and can take out grass/psychic/dark types.
ALSO, I want Marowak in my team because his attack can become absolute god (568). He is slow, so I would set up a Trick Room from Bronzong, which would also help my Magmortar immensely. Here are their setups.
Marowak @ Thick Club Adamant Rock Head 252Atk/252HP/6SpD *dont need any speed because of TR
-Earthquake*
-Stone Edge
-Fire Punch
-Brick Break
Earthquake would be insanely powerful with STAB and 568 attk, and would be nice for taking out Heatran. Stone Edge for Gyarados. Fire Punch for my type weaknesses coverage (takes out grass and ice) and Brick Break for Bronzong/Skarm.
Bronzong @ Light Clay Relaxed Levitate 252HP/128Def/128SpD/2Atk
-Light Screen
-Reflect
-Trick Room
-Rest/Explosion
Light Screen and Reflect to set up good defences. Trick Room is very useful for Marowak,Magmortar, and Nidoking. If I had a TR then I would obviously take the speed EVs off of them. Rest is to wall better, or explosion for a last ditch effort or to set up an easy sweep. Need help on decided between those two.
My only problem is I don't know if I have enough water moves (only 1) and I think it's a pretty important type.
Thanks in advance, Mitch.
