RMT - Team that got me to like #7 on shoddy a while ago :F

PakGamer

RMT - Updated with a real team! :P

So after my exams are done I'm gonna get back into competitive battling again, I had a lot of success with this team a while back ( in November )
I had a ratio of 44-8 that month.Most of those losses were those damn Calm mind/Surf/Rest/Sleep talking suicunes.. I lost at least 4 times to them :/, After shaymin died he usually ripped through the team :(.Looking to improve it so help please!
Starter:
Shaymin @ Choice Specs
Modest @ Natural Cure
4hp/252sp atk/252 speed
- Seed Flare
- Hp Fire
- Psychic
- Grass Knot
This thing is an amazing starter, Takes out many common leads and soaks up status with Natural Cure.It has alot of weaknesses and counters but that just helps my team set up easier :D I was thinking of putting rest over grass knot, But i really don't see the point.

Heatran @ Life Orb
Naive @ Flash Fire
4hp/252sp atk/252 speed
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Explosion
- Dark Pulse/Hidden Power Electric
Heatran is a monster, Especially after a Flash Fire boost, It'll also take advantage of anyone silly enough to attack me shaymin with a fire attack :D I have explosion to try and kill off cressy and bulky waters + Blissey mostly. Dark pulse to get gengar and friends if they lack a SE move, Though HP electric could give superior coverage.

Swampert @ Leftovers
Relaxed @ Torrent
252hp/200def/Rest in Special attack ( What should be the best spread? )
- Earthquake
- Ice beam
- Hydro Pump
- Stealth Rock/Protect
Swampert is my favorite pokemon of all time, and my only real wall.
The spread is what I'm having problems with, I want to be able to have a chance at 2koing Dragons ( Ohkoing Flying ones with Stealth Rock )
And 2ko likes of Skarmory and Weezing with hydro pump I had a good EV spread but i forgot it since my brother deleted my damn team file!Protect is an amazingly useful move letting swampy heal alot and let it take on Garchomp for the most part.But Stealth Rock is just too damn important.Where else in my team can i stick in stealth rock cause its really really important.

Lucario @ Life Orb
Adamant @ Inner Focus
4hp/252atk/252speed
- Swords Dance
- ExtremeSpeed
- Close Combat
- Bullet Punch
I've swept whole teams with this guy, Stealth rock is extremely important because after 1 SD it can OHKO SO many things with SR on the field, Bullet punch for ghosts.

Gengar @ Choice Scarf
Modest @ Levitate
4hp/252 sp atk/252 speed
- ThunderBolt
- HP Ice
- Shadow Ball
- Hypnosis/Focus Blast?
I've pretty much put a scarf on it because of DDing Gyarados, HP ice destroys dragons, Shadow ball lets me own unsuspecting azelfs and alakazams where as hypnosis is really useful on setting up where as Focus Blast is for greater type coverage, I tend to mostly go with hypnosis.

Salamance @ Choice Specs
Modest @ Intimidate
4h/252 sp atk/252 speed
- Draco Meteor
- Hidden Power Ground
- Flamethrower
- Dragon Pulse
Bring him onto eqs and grass/bug attacks and try to sweep.
Hidden power ground over hydro pump cause i don't like to miss and hp ground is just better imo.
 
Personally, I like Life Orb Shaymin. You can rest just about every time you come in that way and switch attacks. But, if the 20% damage difference is to much for you, Specs are fine. Definatly try either HP Electric or HP Grass on Heatran. The only difference between them would be hitting Gyarados / Swampert.

As for Swampert's EV spread, you only need 8 SpAtk EV's to OHKO Dragonite and Salamence with Ice Beam if Stealth Rock is up. You will 2HKO Garchomp as well. However, to ensure a 2HKO on Skarmory, you need quite a few SpAtk EVs. I would suggest just sticking with the 2HKO on Salamence / Dragonite / Garchomp. With that same spread, you will 2HKO Hippowdon with Hydro Pump as well.

Bulky Gyarados would really help this team in my opinion. As IPL mentioned, you need something that isn't going to be taken out immediatly by Ground / Ice, and that can come into Lucario. Gyarados fits the bill perfectly.
 
Sorry it took so long to update, I had to go somewhere for a couple hours and didn't edit out the post. Rate away please!
 
I will consider removing dark pulse for HP electric ( I've used it before ), Ice seems useless since all the dragons are faster than me anyway, should catch gyara's off guard.Thing is though, Fire Blast has bad acc and a really low PP. I usually love wasting cressys PP just spamming with dark pulse forcing it to recover.
I might also drop sala for gyara to cover the ice/water thing, but 500+ special attack draco meteors are hard to give up :( And i don't really see my team having a particular weak to the attacks, but I'll still give it a shot i guess.
