RMT (my first actual competitive team)

[Red27]

this team in my opinion is alright it just needs some work and thats why i came here to you, be brutally honest but dont say things that arent necessary and i hope you guys can help me change this into a game winning team=]

Team at a glance:

@leftovers timid
252speed/252 sp atk/6 hp
Hidden Power [ice]
Thunderbolt
Baton Pass
Shadow Ball

my lead this guy is fast enough to outspeed almost anything unless its scarfed, plus he has enough Sp atk to be a threat with his STAB T-bolt

@ leftovers adament
252 atk/252 def/ 6 HP
Bullet Punch
Meteor Mash
Explosion
Earthquake

so he doesnt have much type coverage and hes pretty slow but hey thats what Bullet Punch is in there for plus his STAB MM is pretty sweet and then the EQ for His FIghting and Fire weaknesses and if you know hes going to die why not just explode and take the other guy down with it

@brightpowder adament
252 atk/252 spe/6 def
Earthquake
Swords Dance
Substitute
Dragon claw

This guy is a beast with his Max atk, if i predict a switch i sub up and swords dance until my sub breaks and then just sweep from there not to mention brightpowders help in keeping my sub around for longer

@leftovers careful
252 HP/ 252 Def/6 atk
Thunderpunch
Shadow Sneak
WoW
Pain Split

This guy is a beast he can withstand almost any physical attack and then dish out some as well hes strong enough to 2HKO a milotic with his T-punch and still survive anything it can dish out as well as burn anything or pain split a blissey ouch

@leftovers modest
252 Sp ATK/ 252 HP/ 6 Spe
Nasty plot
Thunderbolt
Ice beam
Tri Attack

can you say plot plot sweep=]

@choice band adament
252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 6 HP
Megahorn
Pursuit
Close Combat
Stone Edge

this guy is a monster Max ATK choice band if you have a CRess problem switch this guy in pursuit and whether he switches or not its f*cked it can 2HKO a cress or OHKObliss its great

well theres my team hope you can help

 

[RedSP]

Heh, our usernames and avatars are awfully similar =D

Because of how offensive this team is, you should seriously consider putting scarf on either Heracross or PorygonZ for revenge killing and to stop a potential sweep from your opponent. Subchomp is really meant to be used in conjunction with Tyranitar or Hippowdon to activate sand veil so just replace it with the standard SD yache Garchomp.

You need to include the natures of your pokemon

 

[Red27]

haha wow yea they are and we added about the same time weird aye

but yea i posted the natures so that may be able to help you a little and sorry this probably show my noobness but whats a standard yache garchomp?

i also thought about replacing my chomp with a scarfed azelf or possibly a scarfed gengar what do you think

 

[RedSP]

yachechomp:
Garchomp @ Yache berry
nature:Jolly
-Earthquake
-Dragon Claw
-Fire Fang
-Sword Dance
The most notable advantage it has over your set it that it isn't walled by Bronzong or Skarmory.

If your going to replace anything for Azelf or Gengar then replace PorygonZ. I find it to be too slow to be able to setup and sweep without being forced out by something faster. I'd go for Gengar since it adds some sleep support for your team.

 

[Red27]

ah i see thats actually a pretty good sounding chomp and i have a jolly EV trained one im just not sure if it has fire fang=[

but other than that would you say its a fairly good team?

 

[RedSP]

Fire fang is learned through the move relearner so don't worry about it lol

No offense but I'll have to ask if you were trying to make an offensive team or a balanced team. If it's supposed to be offensive then I would just drop Jolteon who won't be sweeping very often, and Dusknoir who would just slow the team down without reliably countering anything in particular for more sweepers or possibly Bronzong as your lead to setup some stealth rocks. If it's supposed to be balanced then there's some major defensive holes.

 

[Red27]

oh sweet i completely forgot about that=] well that makes a yachechomp completely reasonable to make=]

nah it wasnt meant to be balanced just more offensive and i just chose some of these guys over others because they seemed to be working for me and yea its supposed to be offensive but the reason dusknoir is in there is for phys wall support and a little burning never hurts not to mention that he has shadow sneak and can do a little damage himself

but yea i thought about bronzong he just never really worked for me though and jolteon seemed to fit the bill

but yea if it was supposed to be balanced i would probably add a blissey or some sort of other special wall and maybe take out one of my sweepers for a tank or something

 

[Sideflap]

You know, sandstorm would greatly benefit garchomp with his brightpowder and sub. The only problem is not many of your guys resist sandstorm damage.

 

[bmbownz]

once your dusknoir is cleared, you get absolutely murdered by a scarfed chomps Earthquake. my suggestion to end this would be to bring a Support Gliscor, carrying Stealth Rock, Ice Fang, Earthquake, and Roost.
