RMT - New Team

[kentpkmn11]

This is my New Team. It has a BIG problem with electric attacks so i wanted an Electrivire but i don't really care about it.

------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------

Staraptor @ Choice Band
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Attack 252 Speed 6 HP
Nature: Jolly
Moves:
-U Turn
-Return
-Close Combat
-Brave Bird

Staraptor is my starter. It's my first because of Intimidate. This Staraptor is my CB. It can really deal a BIG damage with Brave Bird but the recoil hurts too much too. I often switch to someone because this is purposely for bliss.It can really defeat foes quickly so it's a good choice.

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Attack 172 HP 83 Speed
Nature: Adamant
Moves:
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Ice Fang
-EarthQuake

Gyarados is for Heatrans, Infernapes, and other fighting/fire pokes to counter them. When i use Blissey most switch to Infernape then I switch to Gyarados I'm sure that he/she will switch then I use DD to finish them. I usually win with my Gyarados because of that.

Skarmory @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 200 HP 200 Defense 110 Attack
Nature: Impish
Moves:
-Rest
-Drill Peck
-Spikes
-Roar

Skarmory is my Physical Wall. Spikes-Roar combo is pretty good. Drill peck is for dealing some damage to foes. Rest is for healing to survive nicely.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP 252 Defense 6 Sp.Attack
Nature: Bold
Moves:
-Calm Mind
-Shadow Ball
-Softboiled
-Thunder Wave

Blissey is really good with it's high sp.defense and HP. It's a Calm Mind user. Calm Mind-Bliss is not bad but really good. I replaced Natural Cure with Serene Grace because of Shadow Ball. Shadow Ball with Serene Grace is a good combo which lowers your foes sp.defense. Very Nice Choice.

Starmie @ Expert Belt
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Speed 252 Sp.Attack 6 HP
Nature: Timid
Moves:
-Surf
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Psychic

Starmie is my Special Sweeper. It's really useful to dragon types, flying, and other types because of elemental moves. For every super effective its power is boosted because of expert belt which deals a lot of damage so this can really pack a punch.

Lucario @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Speed 252 Sp.Attack 6 HP
Nature: Modest
Moves:
-Aura Sphere
-Dark Pulse
-Dragon Pulse
-Psychic

I like Lucario because it really kills my opponent fast and quick with Life orb. One of my Favorite Pokemon. Lucario is really strong with pretty move sets. Lucario is really good to compete in battle tower with it's good stats and life orb.

Any questions?Feel free to ask, rate (?/10) , comment, it's your choice.

 

[Sidewalk Supernova]

Yes, I didn't need to read your first sentence; all I needed to do was look at the 6 pictures lined in a row for a voice to scream "MIXVIRE WEAK!!!" in my head. MixVire came to mind immediately, as it has a powerful fighting attack in Cross Chop to defeat Blissey with ease, while most electric attacks in OU are special, which Blissey takes like a pro.

Okay, first things first. MixVire does not have many surefire counters, but a few good ones are Swampert, Cresselia and Dusknoir. Swampert stuck out to me, because you said you had a problem with Electric attacks in general. Swampert's Special Defense lets it take bolt beamers like Zapdos one on one, and at the moment I can only think of one bolt beamer Swampert has a problem with: Starmie. Blissey lol's at any variant of Starmie anyway, so no problem.

If you decide to go with Swampert, I would replace your lead, Choice Band Staraptor off the bat. Swampert, the mixed set in particular, makes a great lead, as it can take a lot of the most used leads, and use its bulkiness to either set up Stealth Rock, scout with Protect, attack while not taking much in return... there are many, many options, which is why Swampert is a great pokemon, and really fits in your team.

Right, now with one electric weak down, you still have three, which is a baad thing, obviously. Before I go to that, I'd like to point out that I got confused with your Blissey. I noticed it was a Calm Minder, and I was going to rate it as such, until I saw Thunder Wave and Shadow Ball. Yes, T-Wave is good for team support, so wouldn't you much rather stick with Blissey as a standard Special Wall? If you go with the CMBliss, then fine, but Softboiled/Bolt/Beam/Calm Mind is listed in the Smogon analysis as such, because it is the best option on CMBliss. Blissey is a very straightforward pokemon in a sense that, it is good at the one job it does in a team. Often times mixing two major sets is NOT maximizing Blissey's potential, and a high one at that. Hookay.

I really would replace Starmie, as you already have Lucario for a great special sweeper, and Starmie gives you an unfortunate electric weak, one too many. Gliscor is a very nice replacement. It gives you a Heracross and Tyranitar counter, and has the option of supporting with Stealth Rock, Taunt or Knock Off, which are three very, very useful moves.

Next, Skarmory. Skarmory is one of the best physical walls in the game, and I have to say that that spread is a pointless waste of EVs. If you want to use the standard Skarmory, go with the usual 252 HP / 156 Def / 96 Atk / 4 Spe. If you prefer the status taking set, Max HP and Defense, with the rest in Speed. Rest+Chesto Berry is a waste of a moveslot and an item, when you can go with Roost with Leftovers or Shed Shell for the standard Spiker set, or Leftovers on the Rest Talker set.

Those EVs on Gyarados are mighty peculiar. If you are running the set with Dragon Dance and three attacking moves, 252 Atk / 184 Spe / 72 Spe.

I have to go right now, so I hope I helped.

 

[Malfunction]

Sorry, but this is not good. Mixape can demolish your team. First, it can outspeed almost all your team. If it has Thunderpunch, gyarados, staravia, and maybe starmie will go down. Close combat takes down bliss and outspeeds lucario for a OHKO. Flamethrower/Fireblast can take down skarm and cario easily. Maybe only starmie can defeat it.
