RMT- an unofficial standard team

[predatorywasps]

just a team that I thought looked like it could work. feel free to comment anything that comes to mind or suggest what pokemon to switch in or out.

ambipom
jolly
6hp/252atk/252spe
@life orb
-fake out
-brick break
-u-turn
-payback

your average ambipom. used as a starter. does fake out for free damage, then u-turn to switch in a better pokemon. could be used as a revenge killer after, due to it's high speed stat. payback covers my teams huge weakness to psychics.

gyarados
adamant
156hp/108atk/100def/144spe
@leftovers
-waterfall
-stone edge
-dragon dance
-taunt

bulkygyara; switches in on weaker attacks or pokemon trying setup something. taunts them, then dragon dance as many times as possible. then hits teams w/ stab waterfall and stone edge.

gengar
hasty
6def/252spa/252spe
@life orb
-thunderbolt
-shadowball
-focus blast
-destiny bond

my team's special sweeper. pretty much just hit things really hard. if it's dying or in a tight spot, can destiny bond.

weezing
impish
252hp/252def/6spa
@leftovers
-flamethrower
-will-o-wisp
-haze
-explosion

physical wall; flamethrower to cover skarmory and other things. I know impish makes it weaker, but that's sortof all I got :/. will-o-wisp ruins physical sweepers, and haze can ruin batton passers. explosion for last resort.

snorlax
careful
244hp/28def/236spd
@leftovers
-body slam
-crunch
-rest
-sleep talk

sleep talk-lax; is my special wall. body slam for a stab move as well as one that can paralyze. crunch for psychics which usually use spa. when it's in danger of dying, rest, then sleep talk.

heracross
adamant
6hp/252atk/252spe
@flame orb
-facade
-megahorn
-close combat
-stone edge

somewhat of a suicide sweeper. probably only good for 1 or 2 attacks, but hell, they're gonna be some really strong attacks.


please make any comments you can think of. thank you

You should probably scarf your Heracross as you lack a reliable revenge killer and it's a bit slow otherwise. Also, put HP Fire on Gengar for better coverage.

 

[Steel.Storm]

looks like you need to fix up your descriptions a bit so this doesn't get locked (under Rule #3 to be exact)


i agree with Ybbob: Scarf something (be is Gar or Hera) to have a decent Revenge Killer and Gengar probably wants HP Fire (or Explosion) over Destiny Bond. umm, Impish is "weaker" on Weezing? it only weakens Explosion which is powerful anyway


it's 1:25 a.m. here so that's about all i got *yawn*... good luck and hope i helped

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

Feel free to post another RMT if you fix up the descriptions.
