Rate my Team

Hello, and welcome to my 2nd RMT. I haven't done this in a while so I may have lost my touch. My team consist of My Infernape (Muay Thai), then Cresselia (BaNaNaMOON), Dragonite (Kite) comes after,and then Tangrowth (MossKOV) to stall if needed, if that doesn't work, Foretress (Geobug) and then Floatzel (Crash) comes in to finish the job.

The Lead
Infernape @Focus Sash
Ability: Blaze
Nature: Hasty
EVs: 252Spe 56Atk 200SpA
-Fake Out
-Stealth Rock
-Fire Blast
-Close Combat

Info: This set is a lead set. You Fake Out on the first turn, followed by using Stealth Rock. It has Fire Blast as a powerful Fire move. Close Combat provides great coverage and will OHKO almost every Blissey.

So why Infernape: I chose Infernape because he has access to Fake Out and Stealth Rock. Also, thanks to Close Combat and Fire Blast he can KO some leads.

Dragonite @Choice Scarf
Ability: Inner Focus
Nature: Lonely
EVs: 112Atk 156SpA 252Spe
-Thunderbolt
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Ice Beam

Info: This is supposed to be a MixScarfNite set. It has Thunderbolt because with Ice Beam it provides great coverage. Outrage serves the same purpose as Draco Meteor, only Outrage is weaker. It has Earthquake to deal with Heatran, Tyranitar and some others. Ice Beam is in the set to provide coverage, against other Dragons and Gliscor.

So why Dragonite: I chose Dragonite because I wanted a good mixed sweeper and because I like him better than Mence. I originaly Wanted an Agility LO Mix set with 200Atk 200Spa 60HP 50Spe. But this set turned out to be more appealing to me.

Cresselia @Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252HP 80SpD 100Def 78SpA
-Thunder Wave
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-Ice Beam

Info: This is the best wall in the game in my opinion. It has Thunder Wave for crippeling fast sweepers like Weavile and Infernape. Resttalking is the best recovery move coupled with a move abusing sleep. Ice Beam provides the best coverage among it's moves.

So why Cresselia: I chose Cresselia to be a awsome Mixed Wall. Cress is one of the most annoying walls in the game. It has some decent Special Attack aswell.

Raikou @Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252Spe 56HP 200SpA
-Substitute
-Calm Mind
-Thunderbolt
-HP Ice

Info: The classical CM Substitute Raikou. It comes in on something that is going to run away and use Substitute and then Calm Mind, but most likely this thing is gonna be sweeping late games. BoltBeam provides excellent coverage with only a few pokemon resisting it.

So why Raikou: I chose Raikou because I needed a good late game sweeper, and that it is a Special-based sweeper. I also needed Raikou because of it's good Speed and Special Attack and average defenses and HP.

Floatzel @Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 32HP 252Atk 8Def 216Spe
-Bulk Up
-Waterfall
-Return
-Ice Punch

Info: After using Bulk Up, Floatzel will obtain 417 Attack and 222 Defense! So what can we do with 417+417x1.3? Well KO lots of things is first on the list. Well this is after ONE Bulk up but assuming we didn't get one, this thing is gonna be such a big threat.

So why Floatzel: Floatzel is on my team to serve as a fast and bulky (after Bulk Up) sweeper. It's sweeping capabilities are huge. I used Feraligtr a bunch of other times so I decided to change it to Floatzel.

Foretress @Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252HP 176Def 80SpD
-Toxic Spikes
-Rapid Spin
-Stealth Rock
-Gyro Ball

Info: Foretress has some nice Defense. It can set up Stealth Rock and Toxic Spikes, and Rapid Spin them too! Gyro ball is in there against a Weavile or something

So why Foretress: I chose Foretress as a Physical Wall and as a good Rocker. It can stop most physical threats in it's tracks, Metagross for example.
 
maybe instead of floatzel a kingdra?try this set
kingdra @ lum berry
adamant-252 att., 252 spe
substitute
dragon dance
waterfall
outrage

with lum+sub you can heal offa status against faster opponents, sub, then dd up to boost attack and speed, this has more sweeping potential than floatzel because of the speed boosts and kingdra's natural bulkiness
 
I wouldn't use infernape as a SRer because its so fragile, even with focus sash. A better one might be donphan, but Infernape is a great lead, and blissey counter.

For dragonite, I would use outrage more over draco meteor due to better attack stats and no stat reduction. If you take my advice and do outrage mainly, you might want to give it a pecha berry.

You might want to take rest-talk and replace it with moonlight. It is an even more reliable recovery move than rest-talk. If you do this, fill the second rest-talk slot with psychic or calm mind.

Fortress is good, and I agree with boundersting, you may want to use kingdra instead. But if you try it out and you dont like it, feel free to go back to floatzel.

Overall rating: 7 out of 10

HAPPY BATTLING! :D
 
Tyranitar-Infernape covers this, but so do Dragonite and Floatzel to a lesser extent.

Infernape-Floatzel and Dragonite.

Azelf-Not sure... might be a threat

Electevire-Dragonite without MD boost.

Heracross-Infernape nails him.

Well probably kinda late for a threat list, but here it is
 
I'm not going to suggest much but here's a set I saw one Infernape doing. It wouldn't be good for battling the same person plenty times but it's great for surprise tactics.


Infernape @Focus Sash
Ability: The Fire
Nature: Hasty
EVs: Not sure never asked
-Endeavor
-Mach Punch
-Overheat
-Not sure what the last move was but Stealth Rock could be good.

It's not that good but it really pissed me off after a while. Sorry if I'm not much help but i'm still really new.

Two things though, you've written Infernape's ability as Infernape and you've got two Ice Beams on Dragonite.
