RATE MY TEAM FIXED

[JTG43]

mah team:::

To start things off...

Banette:(F) @ Leftovers
Careful Nature
Frisk
145 Att/ 96 SpA/ Spd 94

Thunder Wave: to paralyze the Special attackers that come out
Will-o-wisp: To burn the physical attackers
Knock Off: to get rid of the opponents item to throw them off
Shadow Sneak: to make up for its lack of speed and b/c of STAB

Banette starts off the party with a status problem TW for crippling the sp. attackers and the same with will o wisp and physical attackers. the rest is already explained.

The Sweepers...

Drapion (F) @ Toxic PLate
Hardy Nature
Battle Armor
108 Att/ 132 def/ 89 Sp. Att/ 101 sp. def/ 128 spd

Poison Fang
Earthquake
Crunch
X-Scissor

This is one of the sweepers, it is really strong, Poison Fang makes up cuz of the toxic plate and STAB. Earthquake to give it a little umph. Crunch b/c of high attack and STAB. X-Scissor b/c it seemed appropriate and b/c i had nothing else to put there so helppp!!!

Tyranitar: (M) @ none (any recomended?)
Calm Nature
Sand Stream
167 Att/ 163 def/ 150 Sp. Att./ 155 Sp. Def/ 105 Speed

Crunch
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Thunder

This pokemon is the ultimatte sweeper for my team i think. With STAB and his high attack Crunch is a must. EQ b/c it's a strong move. Stone Edge b/c of STAB and it seemed necessary, and thunder for those water pokemon that try to kill it, i plan to switch THunde with something a little more accurate.

Lucy/Lucario (F) @ Life Orb
Naughty Nature
Steadfast
149 Att/ Def 94/ Sp. Att. 152/ Sp. Def 76/ Spd. 124

Sword DAnce
Dark Pulse
Close Combat
ExtremeSpeed

I got this moveset from this website
Sword Dance to give a boost to make almost every move a OHKO excpet dark pulse. Dark Pulse is for those psychic pokemon that Luc. has trouble dealing with. Close Combat b/c with Sword dance it's a major threat, ExtremeSpeeed for those difficlut Flying Pokemon.

Altaria: (F) @ none
Timid Nature
Natural Cure
Att. 84/ Def. 123/ Sp.Atk. 105/ Sp.def. 123/ Spd. 115


Dragon Pulse
Safeguard/Protect
Dragon Dance
Fly

Dragon Pulse b/c of STAB. Safeguard to protect the entire team, but b/c of natural cure i can save altaria, Protect to avoid being attacked by ice moves. Dragon Dance to increase speed and attack to give it an edge. Fly b/c it's a strong move and STAB.

Empoleon (M) @ Sea Incense
Naive Nature
Torrent
Att. 129/ Def. 140/ Sp.Atk. 157/ Sp.Def. 115/ Spd. 117

Aqua Jet
Hydro Pump
Surf
Drill Peck

This is pretty simple, b/c of Stab, Sea Incense and Torrent it makes this pokemons water moves strong. Aqua Jet is to get the first punch and do decent damge. Hydro Pump is a no brainer b/c of all the boosts it gets. Surf is self explanatory and drill peck for those fighting type pokemon.




Please RAte!!!!!!

Thunder Wave: to paralyze the Special attackers that come out
Will-o-wisp: To burn the physical attackers
Knock Off: to get rid of the opponents item to throw them off
Shadow Sneak: to make up for its lack of speed and b/c of STAB

Banette starts off the party with a status problem TW for crippling the sp. attackers and the same with will o wisp and physical attackers. the rest is already explained.

The Sweepers...
-The ev Spread is odd if nothing w/ 2 physical attack no need fo any investment in special attack. Don't plan on beating out any leads in the OU metagame, if your set on a ghost Trick or ScarfGar server the same purpose or just a trick Banette

Drapion (F) @ Scope Lens/Life Orb
Jolly Nature
Sniper
252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 Def

-Swords Dance
-Night Slash
-Earthquake
-Aqua Tail/Cross Poison/ Ice Fang

This is one of the sweepers, it is really strong, Poison Fang makes up cuz of the toxic plate and STAB. Earthquake to give it a little umph. Crunch b/c of high attack and STAB. X-Scissor b/c it seemed appropriate and b/c i had nothing else to put there so helppp!!!

-Once again odd EV Spread, this is the SD set decent coverage it can take a few hits to set up SD, with only one weakness Ground it bulky enough.

Tyranitar: (M) @ none (any recomended?)
Queit Nature
Sand Stream
252 HP/ 88 Atk/ 168 SAtk

-Substitute
-Focus Punch
-Dark Pulse
-Thunderbolt

This pokemon is the ultimatte sweeper for my team i think. With STAB and his high attack Crunch is a must. EQ b/c it's a strong move. Stone Edge b/c of STAB and it seemed necessary, and thunder for those water pokemon that try to kill it, i plan to switch THunde with something a little more accurate.

-Basically looks like an imitation Tyraniboah, once again horrible spread; it looks pretty similar to what you had before, i took off the 28 Speed evs suggested since bannete will be throwing paralysis around anyway.

Lucy/Lucario (F) @ Life Orb

Sword Dance to give a boost to make almost every move a OHKO excpet dark pulse. Dark Pulse is for those psychic pokemon that Luc. has trouble dealing with. Close Combat b/c with Sword dance it's a major threat, ExtremeSpeeed for those difficlut Flying Pokemon.

-Looks like a Type of mixed Lucario but the evs are wrong again, AgiliLuke can work, but its up to you this one not worth explaining so ill jsut link it, http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/lucario

-Looks like a support type Altaria but Dragon Dacne wont benefit your Dragon Pulse and Fly is a horrible STAB. If your intent on keeping it support try this support nite ripped straight from Dragonite's Revamp

move 1: Light Screen / Heal Bell
move 2: Roost
move 3: Thunder Wave / Toxic
move 4: Dragon Pulse / Flamethrower

-A mess 3 STAB moves is not even smart, this is SpecsEon gives you a solid special attacker which you lack.




Please RAte!!!!!!

I NEED ADVICE!!!!!

Looking at this team your below the curve I see, you probably havent palyed much competively just in-game. Its kind of hard to rate this team because it doesn't do much, I can't even tell what its for Wi-Fi/Shoddy, local battles / brothers and friends. I realized while rating this team your probably dont know about EV training right; and more likely than not are not able to get these pokemon let alone train them correctly.
Most people will laugh at this RMT due to upsurd EVs (INSANER MOVESETS), this has an insane Ground weakness so i highly suggest Gengar in the first spot and probably get rid of Luke.

 

[JTG43]

your right, thanks

well my gengar kinda sucks haha, i don't have my DS with me or i'd list it's stats, what moves would you recommend though?

it's also for in-game play

There in lies the problem. You should label this as an in-game team. It is clear you don't really have a grasp of (competitive) Pokemon given your ev spreads and move choices.

For example: You invested in Sp.atk on a handful of your Pokemon despite them having no special based moves.

Also if this is for ingame then why are you bothering with things like Knock Off? Most in-game Pokemon do not hold items except for in the battle tower, which this team is clearly not built for.

Oh and Smogon (the Pokemon related part of it) is generally about competitive Pokemon. It is clear from this team that you have very little grasp on what goes on in competitive Pokemon. If you have any desire to learn I suggest you look at the tutoring program when it comes around. Then you will be all set to fight actual people on wifi/shoddy.

im sorry but your team sucks you think your ttar is a good sweeper not with a calm nature and not many evs invested in atk or special atk, u fail

Well from you i have seen 2 stupid posts in less than 30 seconds, unless your skills are any better which i doubt dont be so judgemental, espescially since your advice is hardly constructive.

Being an in-game team the suggested set for Gengar would be

Gengar @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EV: 4 HP/ 252 SAtk/ 252 Spe
Timid Nature
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast
-Thunderbolt
-Hypnosis/ HP Ice

*Since im guessing this is DP where Hypnosis is still 70% its probably the superior choice.

First of all, your being a douche bag in this post. There is no constructive criticism anywhere in this post, just negativity. Listen, everyone was inexperienced at some point. You don't have to tell the kid he fails because hes not experienced. Learn the rules, and know what your talking about before you post.

Ok, onto the team.

In order to fix your team, you need to 1. Change your pokes (this will involve trading and such) 2. Fix the natures on your pokes (Again, this can be done by trading in the Wifi section, I'm sure there are breeders around here that are willing to help you out :) and 3. Learn how to properly use EVs and learn about IVs. There are many useful guides on this site along with the complete competitive analysis. Learn up, then try to take a go at a team! And might I recommend Shoddy Battle to help you practice? Go on www.shoddybattle.com and download the program, its an online battle simulator that put you against others online. This will help you test teams. Most of us Smogonites use it. And good luck, soon you will be knowledgable, as it takes time.
