Shoddy Team I want for Wi-Fi

[linton]

I have used this team on Shoddy for 2 days now. It wins about half - a third of it's battles. I want to make it for Wi-Fi but I want it to be better then it is now before I waste 2 months making it.

Metagross – Expert Belt
Brave
Clear Body
252 HP / Att 66 / Sp.Def 192
~ Thunderpunch
~ Ice Punch
~ Meteor Mash
~ Grass Knot

Metal Forces LeadGross. It has worked really well for me. Ice Punch and Thunderpunch for BoltBeam and hit Mence and Dos leads hard. Meteor Mash for STAB reasons but might go with Bullet Punch for Focus Sash leads. Grass Knot for Swampert Leads and Hippo Leads.

Marchamp – Leftovers
Adamant
No Guard
252 HP / 252 Att / 6 Spd
~ Rest
~ Sleep Talk
~ DynamicPunch
~ Stone Edge

My Status Taker. I went No Guard > Guts because of Stone Edge's acc. I might go Ice Punch > Stone Edge and swap Guts in but Metagross has Ice Punch.

Blissey – Leftovers
Bold
Natural Care
252 Def / 66 Sp.Att / 192 Sp.Def
~ Toxic
~ Softboiled
~ Thunder Wave
~ Ice Beam

Double Status Blissey that does well. I haven't used Toxic much since a lot of Steel types switch in but I might add Thunderbolt or some move like that to Blissey because it can't hit some Pokemon it walls.

Spritomb – Leftovers
Modest
Pressure
252 HP / 252 Sp.Att / 6 Def
~ Nasty Plot
~ Shadow Ball
~ Hidden Power Fighting
~ Hypnosis

I love this set! When I set up it really hurts. Only 1 problem. Sleep hates me. I make them asleep, use Plot, they wake up and KO me or cripple me. I might move the 6 EVs in Def to Speed.

Weezing – Leftovers
Bold
Levitate
252 HP / 252 Def / 6 Sp.Att
~ Pain Split
~ Thunderbolt
~ Flamethrower
~ Will-o-wisp

Physical Wall that doesn't get fully trashed by MixApe and doesn't make SandStorm. Hurts Gyarados and Heracross. Pain Split hurts other Walls that have more HP then it.

Starmie – Leftovers
Timid
Natural Cure
172 HP / 120 Sp.Att / 216 Spd
~ Rapid Spin
~ Surf
~ Recover
~ Ice Beam

My MixApe counter, Rapid Spinner and part-time Status Taker. Ice Beam for Dragons but I might swap it for Thunderbolt which helps with other Starmie.


Any help you have or things I need to look for?

I was going to drop Toxic for Thunderbolt or Seismic Toss. I might do that now.

Brave > Adamant. It's done

DPunch could be good. I'll try that for a while, thanks.

Speed has nothing to do with the power of Grassknot. I have no idea why you would think that. Yeah there's not much offense on this team. You could make it more of a stall-ish team by adding forms of residual damage if that's what you were going for.

Edit: ignore my first sentence, I wasn't thinking correctly

 

[linton]

No, he means Adamant Lowers Sp.Att which is what Grass Knot runs off.

I have no Pokemon that can lay Rocks and Spikes down. I normally use Frry > Weezing but it makes me MixApe weak.

Adamant reduces the power of sp.atk.. so he switched to Brave (+atk -spd).



As for team, looks good. But man.. 4 status moves? I think it's overdoing it. <_<; Not a fan of Hypnosis on slow pokes like Bronzong and Spiritomb. I'd give it a more defensive build and replace Hypnosis with Pain Split for some way of survivability, or Taunt, seeing that your team doesn't handle stat uppers well. Nasty Plot with approximately ~100 EVs in sp.atk will already give it good offence, so you might wanna consider putting EVs in sp.def.
