Rate my Team please I'm new to Smogon

[Super T]

Well hi I am Super T or SuperTrainer and Ive been using shoddy for a while and i just wanna get some opinions on my team.

Arcanine @Choice Band
Intimidate
Adamant: 252 Spe / 252 Atk / 6 hp
Flare Blitz
Overheat
Extremespeed
Thunder Fang

A good start as extreme speed will deal a good amount a damage to most pokemon while Thunder Fang fends off water types especially Gyarados. Flare Blitz is a good move and Overheat kills Steel Types with huge defense.

Gallade @Salace Berry
Adamant: 52 SpD / 220 Atk / 236 hp
Close Combat
Hypnosis
Psycho Cut
Thunderpunch

With the hp and SpD it can deal out a few hits before it gets salac boost then it can finish its job T-Punch is just for type coverage.

Tentacruel @Black Sludge
Clear Body
Calm: 36 Spe / 96 SpA / 204 hp/ 172 SpD
Ice Beam
Toxic Spikes
Surf
Rapid Spin

A Stable Spinner that can set up Toxic Spikes while at the same time hurt Dragons pretty badly with Ice Beam and can care off most pokemon weak to water with surf.

Hippowdon @Leftovers
Impish: 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 Spe
Earthquake
Roar
Stealth Rock
Slack Off

A super physical wall that can even take hits like no ones bussiness and once its low on HP it just heals it off with slack off. It is also good for setting up Stealth Rock and Roaring to cause switches.

Blissey @Leftovers
Natural Cure
Bold: 252 Def/ 252 SpA/4 HP
Flamethrower
Softboiled
Seismic Toss
Thunderwave

I raised its special defense instead of HP because i feel that Blisseys HP at 652 is high enough. S-Toss and T-Wave are what most Blissey's have and Flamethrower can can catch people off guard as it 2 hits most pokemon that are 2X weak to it.

Gengar @Black Sludge
Timid: 252 Spd / 252 SpA / 6 hp
Shadow ball
Thunderbolt
Substitute
Destiny Bond

Can deal a good amount of damage on pokemon who dont have great special Defense and can sub until you have low hp and use destiny bond to take oponent with you.

Ah! Please, please, please, change Gengar's Atk EVs to Special Attack. All Gengar's moves are special.

 

[Super T]

Thanks

Thanks i missed it lol

Don't put a Salac berry on Gallade unless you have a way of activating it every battle.
Mabye replace it with Life Orb?

Also, are you from Pe2k?

 

[blasphemy1]

Lots of problems here, but you are new so w/e. First, no Salac Berry on Gallade. It doesn't have ANY speed EVs and Salac only grants a 1.5x boost anyways, making Choice Scarf better. Don't use Scarf tho, just switch Salac for leftovers.

Second, Hippowdon destroys your team. Arcanine can't handle Stealth Rock+Sandstorm+Flare Blitz recoil. It will be taking atleast 31% from the first two, and if you hit lets say Blissey with Flare Blitz, you will be dead next time you switch into rocks.

Calm on Blissey and switch Special Attack for a little more HP and a lot of special defense.

Plus many, many other things that I will fail to mention.

Donphan>Hippowdon to provide Spin support for Arcanine, and can also Knock Off items or set up Stealth Rock. Ice Shard beats up dragons better than Ice Fang.

 

[Super T]

:P

um i agree with gallade but I think my team handles Hippowdon just fine

I'd prefer liquid ooze to clear body on tentacruel since he really shouldn't care about stat lowering moves, at least not as much as he should care about ruining subseeders.
