REMADE HG hoenn based NU team

Note: no pics, apologies.

Mawile @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Nature: Impish
Moves:
-Iron Defense
-Iron Head
-Ice Punch
-Crunch

Mawile is my opener. I send her out first, bringing intimidate into play. After that, i put her away until the opponent sends out a pokemon mawile is good against, mainly for dragon types.


Ninjask @ Lax Incense
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 184 Def / 68 Spe
-Speed: 201
Nature: Adamant
Moves:
-Protect
-Baton Pass
-Substitute
-X-scissor

Ninjask is used to baton pass speed to either my sharpedo or my banette, and after I've done that I just use it to wall (if possible). Other than that he's just "canon fodder", as my friends say.


Kecleon @ Choice Band
Ability: Color Change
EVs: 92 HP / 252 Atk / 164 Spe
Nature: Adamant
Moves:
-Sucker Punch
-Focus Punch
-Trick
-Return

My goal with kecleon is to trick the choice band onto an opponent wall, and then switch up between sucker punch and focus punch, as one only works if they ARE attacking, and the other only works when they AREN'T.


Sharpedo @ Life Orb
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Nature: Adamant
Moves:
-Crunch
-Ice Fang
-Waterfall
-Earthquake

In short, sharpedo is my physical attacker. I try to get him in as soon as possible, usually switching in from a baton pass (the ninjask). I really didn't think him through more than that.


Banette @ Muscle Band
Ability: Insomnia
EVs: 252 Atk / 92 HP / 164 Spe
Nature: Adamant
Moves:
-Shadow Claw
-Shadow Sneak
-Sucker Punch
-Will-O-Wisp

Two words for this one: out speed. My main goal is to get in the priority moves, and if i can manage to, get a burn on my opponent. Again, other than that I didn't think this one through very far.


Gardevoir @ Wise Glasses
Ability: Trace
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Nature: Timid
Moves:
-Calm Mind
-Thunderbolt
-Focus Blast
-Psychic

Gardevoir is my calm mind special attacker. oddly enough, however, I don't actually get a calm mind in that much. I usually attack the opponent and only calm mind for a break in the action (IE, pokemon switch, healing move, etc.).


Seeing as I already described what each can do individually, i don't see a need to add an overall plan. So thats my team. please rate

And yes, I did fairly religiously follow the smogon strategydex.
 
What do you mean Sharpedo is your physical wall? i hope you mean attacker. Also, Ninjask is not NU so cannot be used there. You will have to play your 'NU' team in a higher tier. Sharpedo, Mawile and Gardevoir seem good, but I'd suggest using Mawile as a Baton Passer to pass Attack and Defense. You can remove two of your attack moves. Banette may not want to use double STAB,e evn if it gets priority, because it can't do anything to Steel types but Will-o'-Wisp.

EDIT: Muscle Band and Wise Glasses aren't viable outside of NU (even in NU it's not a great idea), and as Ninjask is OU in Gen 4, you may want to remove Muscle Band and Wise Glasses on Banette and Gardevoir respectively.
 
yes, I did in fact mean attacker. Sorry for the confusion there. Also, sorry about the incorrect labeling. I figured it was a majority thing for which tier it was in. All that aside, thanks for the advice!
