Long time Lurker, first time poster.
Team at a Glance
Roserade
Timid @ Focus Sash
Natural Cure
252 Sp.A/ 252 Spd /6 HP
-HP Fire
-Leaf Storm
-Toxic Spikes
-Sleep Powder
Standard lead. Sleep powder first then set up some toxic spikes.If Focus Sash isn't activated it can come back and do some good damage with Leaf Storm and HP Fire. Leaf Storm hits bulky waters decently and HP Fire is good for hitting Steelix and other steel types. I could consider another lead because a handful of times Roserade goes first but misses with sleep powder.
Mismagius
Timid @ Leftovers
108 HP/ 180 Sp.A/ 220 Spd
-Substitute
-Calm Mind
-Shadow Ball
-Thunderbolt
Comes in on the EQ or fighting move, sets up Sub then CM. I don't have HP Fighting because it didn't work out >_>. But I've never really needed it.Mismagius can take a special hit really well. On the switch some times I don't even have to worry about Substitute and just get that first CM up. Mismagius is a solid team member, I've swept teams after setting up with CM+ Sub.
Slowbro
Bold@ Leftovers
Own Tempo
212 HP / 252 Def / 44 SpA
-Thunder Wave
-Ice Beam
-Surf
-Slack Off
I like T-Wave over another attacking move or CM because the status effect is useful and has helped. This guy has good defenses to come in one the switch. It can take EQs good and then I proceed to T-Wave to be faster, then attack and heal when needed.
Registeel
Impish @ Expert Belt
252 HP / 168 Atk / 88 Def
-Explosion
-Ice Punch
-Iron Head
-Stealth Rock
What a beast this guy takes, He can take pretty much all SE hits to set up rocks. Plus he can take down dragons with Ice Punch. I used to have Toxic for stalling but if Roserade does her job right I shouldn't need it. So I got rid of it for Stealth rocks to double up on entry hazards. I could switch Iron head with something because it has STAB but not SE against many things so it doesn't take advantage of Expert Belt.
Swellow
Jolly@ Toxic Orb
Guts
252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
-Protect
-Facade
-Brave Bird
-U-turn
Powerful with STAB Facade, and good for scouting with Protect and U-turn. This bird hits hard and fast but damage builds up with toxic so it doesn't stay in long. If stealth rocks are in I'm worried. Idk the damage difference in Toxic or Burn orb but since it doesn't stay in long I go with Toxic. I can't really go a different way with this moveset.
Hitmontop
Adamant@ Life Orb
Technician
240 HP / 252 Atk / 16 Spe
-Fake-Out
-Mach Punch
-Bullet Punch
-Close Combat
My other attacker with poor speed, but priority moves fix that. Life Orb for extra damage with technician is good. But I kind of just threw him in here. I think I should put Rapid Spin over CC to get rid of entry hazards but I'm not sure. I am definitely open to suggestions to replace this guy.
Suggestions and comments appreciated and Replacements as well. Tell me what pokemon could do a better job!
Thanks!
