been having some problems with my team, could use some critic. first, my lead.
Swampert. - lead
252 def 252 hp 4 atk.
Leftovers
Stealth Rock
Ice beam
Roar
Earthquake
Hes an amazing lead, ive never done any better without him, he can take any hit and still stand tall to take another, stealth rock is a general must and the roar just feeds into that stealth rock starting it up, roar also gets rid of that baton pass psychoness, dont need any ttars with 2 swords dance and speed boosts hussling out my Poke.
Scizor. Revenge/ Normal Sweeper
248 hp 252 atk 8 spd.
Choice band
Pursuit
U-Turn
Bullet punch
Superpower
I kinda of threw scizor in here because, well i had a perfect IV scizor, scizor is a pretty BA pokemon, and he has outstanding speed, i replaced lucario with scizor and scizor is a nice thing to mix up the fight with, throwing in for a random u-turn or bullet punch, not sure if i want to keep him though.
Electivire - Mixvire
36atk 252spa 220spe
Expert belt
Flamethrower
hidden power ice
cross chop
THunderbolt
my mixfire is pretty good, its just a basic sweeper that helps me cleanup messes when needed, its nice to throw this guy in after withdrawling a suicune before suicune gets thunderbolted or hidden power lightning'd.
Suicune - Crocune
252 hp 252 def 4 spe
Leftovers
Calm mind
Rest
Sleep talk
Surf
this is what my team is based around, its probably one of the best pokemon out there, even though its pretty much a 1/4 chance gamble once its setup, it can take hits like a madman, its almost impossible to 2hko this suicune and i love it when i need a good stall or just a quick surf.
Metagross - CHoice bander/ Atom bomb
252 hp 236 atk 12 def 8spe
Choice band
Meteor mash
Earthquake
Explosion
Thunderpunch
I put metagross in here because hes pretty much my panic button, if something is going wrong, i throw in him, and ive yet to see a fire move to 100% kill him, which is nice, because if i know hes about to die, or if i switch him in on a fire move by mistake, i have explosion there for me.
Gyarados: DDance Offensive
156 HP 104 Atk 100 Def 150 Spe
Leftovers
Bounce
Waterfall
Dragon dance
Earthquake
well, theres not much to say about this guy, hes really just in there to be in there or when a heatran stomps something of mine and suicune doesnt come through for me. its nice to have bounce against dragonites though because they cant do anything about it, and its pretty much the trump card for anything else that poses a threat to me.
Now as you can see my team doesnt have much synergy, when i battle it pretty much turns into a revenge sweeping match and predicting if the other person is going in for the revenge sweep or not ( maybe its like that for everyone) this team is built around suicune, i was thinking of putting a celebi in but im not 100% sure on what to do to make it better hopefully someone who has more OU knowledge will give me some synergy ideas, as im trying to keep suicune and metagross in it.
