Hello everyone, I'm would like to share one of my grass team. It kind of utility team so we will look into it.

Venusaur- the standard mega in any grass team so I will not get into much detail. the set itself is pretty standard. EV spread to make sure that it still has bulk while hit hard and can still outspeed supportive pokemon like skarmory.

Ferrothron - act as physical wall and spike setter. Occa berry help keeping it alive from getting ohko by a lot of fire move and thus can do its job before dying. Thunder wave is for cripple enemy fast sweeper for late game revenge and knock off to cripple pokemon that rely on item by surprise. Gyro ball is pretty standard attack move. You could try iron head for para flinch combo but speed iv must be max, however this strategy is luck based and quite unreliable.

Gourgeist - act as fighting move and spin blocker and supplement defensive wall. Will o wisp is used to cripple enemy physical power further and leech seed + protect to stall out and shadow sneak to finish the already weaken foes. Becareful for taunt user and fast set up/sub.

Cradily - special defensive wall and stealth rock setter. Usually use to combat a lot of fire type and Kyurem-B to some extend. Toxic is to cripple any pokemon that is not poison and steel type with recover as reliable recovery. Rock tomb is for stab and speed reduce can become handy in long drawn game but you can opt for rock slide if you want more power.

Breloom - standard sashed physical attacker. Spore to pressure foes and Sword dance for buff on predict switch or while foes sleeping. You can also opt for power up punch too for the boost while at the same time inflict damage. Rock tomb is for standard coverage. Bullet seed can be in place of Rock tomb or Sword dance also. Life orb is also a good replacement for sash since it is likely that the hazard will be set up and break the sash anyway thus an extra boost my be better though.

Shiftry- To combat psychic type yet also ridiculously powerful in other match too. Fake out is to scout enemy if they going to switch or not while also do some bit of damage. Sucker punch work well after fake out if enemy opt to attack. It guarantee OHKO a lot of psychic type and weaken a lot of faster pokemon for them to be finish off in later of the game. Knock off is pretty handy and can use in predict switch to inflict heavy damage on the switch in pokemon that not resist dark type. Leaf storm is good to kill anyone who think that Slowbro can wall it after knock off and also to kill water type too. Other option include Defog in pace of Fake out, Giga drain instead of Leaf storm for recovery against Life orb residual damage, etc.

Weakness- Steel type may posses a problem to this team, however, once Heatran gone then it will be relatively easy, just watch out for mega Scizor.

This is one of my many grass team. Please rate or give some thought to it would be nice. I will upload my other teams sometimes in future too. Thank you
 
Hey man, that's a pretty cool team. I have a few suggestions you may want to try out.

    Not having a special wallbreaker is the main flaw I can see with your team. Whimsicott is the premier option for that. It is an excellent win condition vs Dragon-type and has decent offenses as well as great speed. Shiftry is quite disappointing and Breloom outclasses it as a physical wallbreaker. Whimsicott has access to Prankster Encore and Stun Spore that can stop pretty much any set up sweeper in its tracks.

    Since you lack hazard removal, I don't think Focus Sash is a great item for Breloom. Life Orb gives you a significant boost in power and can allow you to sweep much easily late-game w/ SD.
Whimsicott @ Life Orb
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

- Giga Drain

Breloom @ Life Orb

That's pretty much all I have, hope you like the changes and good luck with the team.

I do have the team with Whisicott instead of Shiftry. The reason for the change is that currently monotype is mostly dominate by psychic type with victini is main threat to grass team. So thus Shiftry in the place of Whimsicott however your Whimsicott set is different than mine and look really good. I never try life orb one before so I gonna go try this one out!

Thank you for your reply and though! I'm appreciate it.
