RMT-OU

My (Edited) Team in Shoddy Battle right now is:

Lead: Either:

--Bronzong@Lum Berry

Ability:Levitate
Nature:Sassy
IVS: Speed 0
Evs:252HP,86ATK, 80DEF, 92SpDef

-Hypnosis
-Gyro Ball
-Stealth Rock
-Earthquake

Bronzong works really well as my lead, crippling most with hypnosis, or OHKOing most taunters with Gyro ball if they dont have a Focus Sash. It also doubles as a good late game wall. Lum berry helps it deal with other sleep inducers healing and then putting them to sleep.

OR

--Alternative Lead: Metagross@Occa Berry

Nature:Adamant
EVs:252HP/236Atk/12Def/8Spe
-Stealth Rock
-Earthquake
-Explosion
-Bullet Punch

Tends to do really well. Can deal with most other leads easily and then stealth rocks, and/or Explosion if i get a chance. Has problems with some leads like azelf and other metagross.

Sweepers:
Mixed: Infernape@Life Orb

Nature:Naive
Evs: 66AtK, 192Spd, 252SpAtk

-Flamethrower
-Grass Not
-Close Combat
-Nasty Plot

A really good special wall for me that provides my only way to kill Bronzong, and some other Steel Types. Nasty Plots and then sweeps, and Close Combats most Special Walls.

Physical: Electivire@Life Orb( Expert belt if item Clause)
electivire.png

Nature: Adamant
Evs:4HP, 252Atk, 252Spd

-Thunderpunch
-Icepunch
-Earthquake
-Cross Chop

Another good sweeper who can switch in for the Motor Drive boost. He has really good synergy with Gyarados, and is my best way to deal with water types.

Physical: Gyarados@Wacan Berry
gyarados.png

Nature: Adamant
Evs:4HP, 252Atk, 252Spd

-Dragon Dance
-Ice fang
-Waterfall
-Earthquake

Like i said before it has really good synergy with Electivire. Electivire can switch in with motor drive and Gyarados can switch in to Eathquake and set up when the enemy switches. Dragon Dances and Sweeps once opposing water types are taken care of.

Physical/ Revenge Killer Scizor@Choice Band

Ability: Technician( obvious but felt necessary to put it down)
Nature:Adamant
Evs:34Hp, 252Atk, 224Spd

-Superpower
-Bullet Punch
-U-Turn
-Pursuit

Doing really well .Can revenge kill most frail sweepers and alot of sweepers that arent frail. Has problems with Magnezone.

Rapid Spinner/Revenge Killer: Starmie@Leftovers

Nature: Timid
Evs:138Hp, 144Def,216Spe

-Recover/icebeam??
-Rapid Spin
-Surf
-Thunderbolt

Provides Rapid spin support and helps deal with faster sweepers. Thunderbolt and Surf deal with common sweepers. I'm thinking of switching out recover for ice beam because i never use recover or when i do the opponent switches in a pursuiter to OHKO Starmie.
 
Starting with Infernape. Jolly is not the correct Nature you want on the current set you are using. The Nature you should use is Naive. Jolly Nature will lower Infernape's Special Attack, which is certainly not good. You have two Special-type moves on your Infernape, so lowering Infernape's Special Attack is not a good idea. Naive will not lower Attack or Defense, allowing Infernape to hit more effectively.

I think your team will benefit by using Scizor in the last spot, particularly, Choice Band Scizor. The current Infernape you are using has problems with Latias and Starmie. Thankfully, Scizor can Pursuit those aforementioned Pokemon. Once they are gone, your Infernape will have a much easier time sweeping. Pursuit can also be used to pick off revenge-killers such as Gengar, Azelf, and Alakazam who all outspeed Infernape and threaten a KO. Scizor can lure out common Infernape checks such as Gyarados, and Calm Zapdos and use U-turn to put them into Infernape's KO range. I suggest you use Choice Band, Bullet Punch SuperPower, Pursuit, 24 HP / 252 Atk / 176 SpD / 56 Spe, Adamant, Technician. As mentioned before, Scizor can get rid of Latias with Pursuit, allowing your Infernape to have an easier time sweeping. It can also get rid of the likes of Celebi with Pursuit as well. Pursuit will leave Celebi at low enough health for your Gyarados to be able to kill it. Bullet Punch is for revenge killing, U-turn to scout, and Superpower for Pokemon such as Heatran and Magnezone switch-ins. The Special Defense EVs are used to allow Scizor to switch-in on Starmie, Celebi, and Latias better.

I think that Bronzong lead is more or less an inferior Metagross. You take hits a bit better, but you lose out on a lot of offensive power and Explosion, which suits an offensive team such as this much better. For that reason, I would consider using a Metagross with Occa Berry, Earthquake, Bullet Punch, Explosion, Stealth Rock, Adamant, 252 HP / 236 Atk / 12 Def / 8 Spe. Occa Berry is a great item on Metagross since Metagross tends to attract Fire types such as Heatran and Infernape. With the above EV spread, you will never be OHKOed by a Heatran's Fire Blast taking Occa Berry into account allowing you to hit back hard with Earthquake. Overall, as a lead, Metagross performs great and I will give a quick rundown of the common leads it can go up against. Against opposing Metagross, you basically use Stealth Rock first turn then hit it hard with Earthquake. Against other leads such as Swampert, just Stealth Rock first turn as it will most likely use Stealth Rock as well then Earthquake if you feel like staying in. Against Infernape, use Earthquake to activate Infernape's Focus Sash and then finish it off with Bullet Punch. You do not have to worry about Fire Blast since you are holding Occa Berry. Other leads such as Azelf and Aerodactyl can be easily finished off with Bullet Punch, however, Azelf will be taken out by at least 3 Bullet Punches while you survive Fire Blast if it attacks you. Against lead Jirachi, Earthquake to take it out. I think you get the idea.
 
Your physical offense seems to rely too heavily on setting up, and that could be a problem. When there is a pokemon that is a major threat to any team after it sets up, you can bet most people will have a counter for it. Since you have four pokemon weak to fire, i'd recommend a Choice Scarfed Heatran to help your offense out.
Heatran @ Choice Scarf
Naive
252 SpA/ 252 Spe/ 4 HP
-Fire blast or Flamethrower
-Earthpower
-Explosion
-HP Ice

Since you don't like Lucario very much, you could trying switching him out for this.
Thats all I can think of that isn't any different from what Bloo said. I hope I helped some, good luck.
 
WOW you have the most atrociously weak to Heatran team I've ever seen short of a mono Grass team.

I'd personally just slap Starmie over Electivire, as it's still a great switch in into other Waters, could help with Heatran, and removes Stealth Rock for your Gyarados, which also improves it's ability to switch into Heatran.

Another thing I dislike is having both Bronzong and Forretress here. Forretress isn't really bringing anything else to the table and yo're just stuck with 2 slow ass steel types with close to no form of offense setting up a field hazzard. It's quite redundant really. Instead let's add another sweeper over Forretress. I'd personally like to see Salamence here. It gives you another Intimidate user, and another useful Ground/Fire/Fighting switch in, which you can never have too much of! A Mix Salamence here will probably do a lot of good as it can just wallop a whole lot of shit for any member of your team to start sweeping with.

And as for the last Poke, I'd put Scizor right there just to clean up all low health shit, as the team isn't too fast.
 
Hello!

Starting with Infernape. Jolly is not the correct Nature you want on the current set you are using. The Nature you should use is Naive. Jolly Nature will lower Infernape's Special Attack, which is certainly not good. You have two Special-type moves on your Infernape, so lowering Infernape's Special Attack is not a good idea.

Wow Thanks for noticing that. Really can't believe i had that on mixed infernape. Ya that was a bad error that i did on smogon. Wow Infernape is much better now.

Moving along I dont really want to switch out bronzong as its hypnosis is really useful to my team,and it gives me a chance to Wall some sweepers as well, but i guess ill try it out for a few matches and post the results. Note Metagross is not working well so far i think ill use Bronzong who works or at least used to work really well. Scratch that Metagross is doing ok now but i still like bronzong better

Aeroblactyl Why dont i just switch in starmie for forretress? I think that would work better because gyarados draws alot of Electric Attacks and i Can boost Electivire with Motor Drive. However im not sure because i dont really wanna have two water types.

As for heatran I dont really like him and i dont really want to use legendaries but i guess i'll give it a try.Also what IVs do i need for the right HP?

CB Scizor is doing really good now it just had a few bad games. Still has a problem with Magnezone.

Everyone thanks for your input
