Sandstorm starter, rocks, and whirlwind for anything trying to set up/substitute/baton pass. eq and ice fang for coverage.

Mamoswine @ Life Orb
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd

standard mamo. good revenge kill on any dragon locked into outrage.

Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 8 Def / 252 HP / 4 Atk / 244 SDef
Careful Nature
- Spikes
- Power Whip
- Leech Seed

the special wall. i just gotta say that ferro is a beast. anyways, leech seed+protect helps keep ferro alive that much longer. standard spikes and power whip on it.

Jirachi @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Substitute

the pixie of the team lol. body slam to paralyze and iron head to death thanks to flinch hax. serene grace ftw!

Landorus (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Earth Power
- Focus Blast

special attacker. has great coverage and doesnt take life orb damage (unless using hidden power) thanks to sheer force. psychic is on there for coverage.

Scizor @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spd
Adamant Nature
- U-turn

standard choice band scizor. not much to say here. hits hard and proceeds to sweep late game or switch him out.

Like i said, volcarona with quiver dance rapes me. Any ideas? Thanks guys!

you should expand the descriptions of your team more. to help deal with volcarona you could use a specially defensive heatran, in place of jirachi. It will give you another phazer to abuse your hazards as well. toxic will help you wear down volcarona and other pokes faster, will-o-wisp is in case you don't like lava plumes 30% burn chance. if you still want para hax you could replace protect with thunderwave on ferrothorn as well.

Heatran @ leftovers/air balloon
Nature: Calm
EVs:248 HP / 252 SpD / 8 Spe
Lava Plume
Roar
Protect
Toxic/Will-O-Wisp

Hi

Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it. The standard description length required is three to four lines, if you need more insight look on the detail part, check out the RMT Archive.

Your thread is breaking that rule. You need a minimum of three lines of descriptions for each of your Pokemon. PM me your updated descriptions and I'll unlock this thread.
