Well this is an old team i made, i love to balance my teams, and this one is one of the most balanced teams ive ever made. Hope u like it and comment xD
Changes in BOLD

LEAD:
azelf.png


Azelf @ Focus Sash Tingle
Naive/Hasty
252 Speed, 252 Sp. Att., 4 HP
· Stealth Rock
· Psychic
· Fire Blast
· Explosion

Common, broken and very useful lead. This little friend helps me setting up SR which is a very important factor in the game in this days. Azelf helps against other leads like bronzong or gengar. I need to use him with a lot of prediction cuz trickers or scarf users can fuck azelf.




weavile.png


Weavile @ Life Orb Evice
Jolly
252 Att., 252 Speed, 4 Sp Def
· Night Slash
· Ice Punch/Ice Shard
· Brick Break
· Pursuit/Swords Dance

A common weavile that works as my physical sweeper. This friend is an excellent physical sweeper and helps a lot with my team, since i have machamp (who usually gets hit by psychic attacks) i can switch to Weavile, scare away things and set up a SD.
My problem is that if i manage to get a SD, then Ice Shard can help me more against the likes of Aerodactyl, but Ice Punch helps more vs slow but bulkier things like Hippowdon.
Idk if i should change SD with pursuit since pursuit can help me vs running ghosts and psychics.




yanmega.png


Yanmega @ Wide Lens ISeeJooz:B
Modest - Speed Boost
252 Sp Att, 252 speed, 4 HP
· Bug Buzz
· Air Slash
· Hypnosis
· Protect/HP Ground

One of my favorite special sweepers, this thing can massively damage another team thanks to his ability to flinch, sleep, outspeed, lower sp defense. Wide Lens is kinda a need since with Platinum out the Accuracy is only 60% so with Wide Lens is 66% and i like the boost.
I use protect so i can start a sweep vs faster opponents like azelf but since this friend isnt a starter i can change protect with HP ground to kick Heatran's ass.
Modest nature here since with speed boost timid isnt a big deal




machamp.png


Machamp @ Leftovers/Lum Berry Hulk
Adamant - No Guard
252 HP, 252 Speed, 4 Sp Def
· DynamicPunch
· Rest
· Stone Edge
· Sleep Talk

The very friendly sleep talk machamp :D
"Why the fuck u give machamp Speed evs u dumbass!!"
248 Speed EV makes machamp outspeed EVERY non scarf, 31 IVs, no evs/beneficial nature base 85 speed pokemon like suicune, cresselia or articuno. It helps against marowak too cuz he reaches a max 207 speed.
But if you guys think its better to change the speed EVs to something else please tell me.
Same with the leftovers/lum berry situation. Lefties gives champ a good recover each turn but lum berry is preferable in others situations to not rely in Sleep Talk and get the Rest recovery.




infernape.png


Infernape @ Life Orb JackieChan
Jolly
252 Att, 252 Speed, 4 def
· Close Combat
· Flare Blitz
· Stone Edge
· Swords Dance

Another physical Sweeper with SD, lol. Imagine, if Infernape does enormous damage with his Stab moves, behind a SD it can be a nuclear bomb.
SD in something that u scare like: Blissey, Swampert(fearing Grass knot), Scizor, etc.
Stone Edge is there for kicking Gyarados and other flyers ass.




suicune.png


Suicune @ Leftovers Boreal
Bold
252 HP, 212 Def, 44 Sp Def
· Surf
· Ice Beam
· HP Electric
· Calm Mind

My 2 sided wall, after a CM suicune gets big sp defense, which, along his tremendous defense, makes him stand great hits.
Ice Beam for grasses, dragons, grounds.
Surf is Stab lols
HP Electric for fucking Gyarados, vaporeon, starmie and the likes who would otherwise wall me eternally.


Well thats my old team, hope u like it, comment a lot!!! :)
 
I'd be worried about any kind of physical wall, mostly because Yanmega's your only form of special sweeping, and Suicune's a bit slow for the job. Azelf is a suicide lead, so it WILL be dead mid/late game.
If your opponent has Hippowdon and Blissey, and maybe a Ghost, it's gg, you.

For the Suicune you have, just run 252 Sp. Atk/ 252 Speed/ 6 HP and Life Orb. You don't have to be nearly as defensive minded with three attack options.
 
I'd replace weavile with a special sweeper, porygon-z, gengar, or starmie.
Starmie if you want a rapid spinner, porygon-z for sheer power, or gengar for versatility. I personally would go with this.

Porygon-Z@life orb
timid nature
ability: download
EVs: 252spA/252spe/4def
moves:
-nasty plot
-tri-attack
-ice beam
-thunderbolt

This set utilizes boltbeam, and tri-attack provides a very powerful STAB attack with a chance of some useful hax. Nasty plot obviously sets porygon-z up for sweeps. Timid over modest because with mediocre defenses, porygon-z needs to outspeed its foes or die.
 
I know porygon-z is an awesome pokemon ^^

But unfortunately i need Weavile since hes the pair of my machamp and they work marvelous together.
 
You have a pretty big sword dance lucario weakness although on the bright side he won't have many chances to get of a sword dance. I think I would replace infernape for a bulkier special poke, like starmie. Your team hates sr and could also need a spinner so starmie fits the bill.
 
Yeah yanmega and weavile want SR to be banned xD

Starmie is a very cool idea and i was going to take him into account for a spinner but the main problem is that Starmie is kinda exactly as Suicune like Same Type, Ice move, electric move, Water move, and filler.
So i decided suicune over starmie since suicune works greatly as a mixed wall.
I will Still test out starmie to see how it works. Thnxz

BTW I NEED HELP WITH MACHAMP. IDK IF I SHOULD KEEP THE EV DISTRIBUTION LIKE THAT.
 
If you are not to hung up on yanmega you could also switch him for specs jolteon. That way you will have an awesome fast special atk and electric switch in. Another option with him is also to change azelf to a stealth rock exploding shuca tran. That will also help the blissey removal and let jolt suicune and maybe starmie sweep.
 
If my pokemon is weakened and im sensing a Draco Meteor then i let my pokemon die so i can set up with CM suicune, after that its easy, i just need to predict well :p
 
The speed on Machamp is nice, but to me it is really unneeded. I think the Ev's will go a lot farther if you invest them into his Hp. This way he could be a ton more bulky, and with leftovers, you can have him stay around a lot longer, being able to shrug off attacks, and when accompanied with rest, and damage.
 
I second the above statement. Machamp is actually not as bulky as he looks, and needs those Hp EVs to be an effective rest talker.

For Suicune, I would recommend putting at least enough speed to outrun Jolly Tyranitar so you can surf him (244). Or, an even better idea is going for 245 or a bit higher to outspeed many defensive Zapdos and Celebi and Gyara too so you can hit them with HP Electric or Ice Beam.
 
Oh damn. Then wtf...where are the attack EVs? With only 16 actual PP, Machamp needs to deal out pain! That's even worse than having no Hp EVs. He definitely needs attack EVs...I don't even need to bother doing calcs to tell you that those EVs with Adamant nature will allow him to make much bigger dents with Dynamic Punch and Stone Edge.
 
If you are using Yanmega, move some Speed EV's into defence. 100 defence EVs allow it to take Scizors bullet punch really well( thanks to RaikouLover for pointing this out) but i dont have calcs.
the speed EVs can be moved as Speed boost will compensate anyway.
 
Why is Infernape Timid with physical attacks? Anyway, I see a major lacking in dragon resistances. You need a way to be able to take on Outrage/draco users.
 
You have a pretty sweet team here Rey. Is this the one you have been using on your YouTube videos? Well, I'll try to help you make it better.

First, I'd like to point out that you have an extremely noticeable weakness to Lucario, as nothing in your team can safely take it on once it gets in a Swords Dance, althought technically, it will have a hard time doing so since Lucario is also threatened by every pokemon on your team, except for Suicune at the very least. I'd suggest replacing Yanmega for Rotom-H, since it provides your team with a very effective check against Lucario and Scizor, whom your team also seems to have trouble with if it is running X-Scissor. Personally, I'd recommend the Choice Scarf set simply because it deals the most damage and can balance your team out more. It's also nice to mention that Rotom-H provides a nice Fighting immunity to your team. Zapdos can also fill this slot if you'd prefer.

In this slot, I recommend running a MixApe instead of SDApe since your team already has a strong offensive core. By switching to MixApe, you'll be able to hit bulky waters a lot harder and you won't be walled by pokemon such as Slowbro either. Simply put, running a mixed set provides your team with better overall coverage.

Since you are aiming to sweep with this Suicune rather than stall, may I suggest a more offensive spread that still retains a lot of Suicune's potential bulk? By running 172 HP / 120 SpA / 216 Spe with a Timid Nature, Suicune outspeeds base 80's and a bunch of other pokemon that run enough speed EVs to outspeed Tyranitar while Suicune still retains a lot of its bulk. I've been running this set each time I run offensive Suicune and it really does work out rather well.
​

​
In general, it seems as if your team only hasthe most trouble with dealing with special sweepers such as Starmie since nothing on your team can effectively serve as a "true" counter, since Weavile cannot safely switch in. I'd suggest adding in a Blissey somewhere, but I truly do not know which pokemon you should take out for it. If anything, you could just take out Weavile since it does seem to be the weakest link in your team. However, by doing so, you lose an effective check against Salamence and Flygon so it's really up to you.


I hope my rating was of help to you, and if you have any more questions, you are welcome to contact me at anytime.
 
God damn Flashstorm, thats why i love you xD

Ill be sure to check that out since i use this team a lot in shoddy.

The main thing its that i dont have platinum, so i wont be able to use a rotom form.

Ill try it on shoddy just to check how it works and when i get plat possibly change it :)

The problem if i move Yanmega's speed EVs is that i will have problems with ANOTHER common enemy. Opposing Yanmegas :/
