Spooky Uber Team (With 1 uber)

This team lacks diversity, I know...but keep in mind that it is a themed team. This was the strongest team I could come up with, while still maintainig a frightening aesthetic. That being said, dont hold back any critisizm you may have. Any comments on how to improve the team are greatly appretiated. Help me create an army of doom that could make someone wet themselves. >:)

Timid
Mischevious
Levitate

"Pain on the dance floor"

Jolly
Alert to Sounds

"I wish I could hurt someone..."

Somewhat Stubborn

-Wish

Tanky Goodness:
Spr_4d_477.png

"Beat me up...Please...Do it."
Dusknoir@Leftovers
Impish
Sturdy body
Pressure (Why does this thing not have Levitate? WHYYY!? It floats for god's sake!)
252HP/252Def/6SpDef (Maybe a little unbalanced?)
-Ice Punch (or Shadow Sneak?)
-FirePunch
-Will-o-Wisp

The Cheapness:
Spr_4p_491.png

"There is no is no sleep clause here..."
Darkrai@Life Orb
Modest
Capable of taking hits
Bad Dreams
4HP/252SpAtk/252Spd
-Dark Void (the sexiest looking move since RBY hyper beam)
-Dark Pulse
-Ice Beam
-Focus Blast (or Calm Mind?)

Thoughts:
-I cannot decide if Gliscor should be more offensive (with Ice Fang) or more disruptive (with knock off or taunt)
-If hypnosis misses and Gengar is faced againsts a sweeper...Good bye Gengar. =/
-Can weavile afford to risk a Swords Dance, especially with Sand Stream and Stealth Rock breaking his sash?
-That being said, should Weavile be my lead? (i would lose out on setting up SR early and Id have to change Weaviles moveset tho..)
-Umbreon is totally incompacitated by Taunt...and thats BAD!
-Umbreon cant really take on some of the harder hitters like CBTar, CBChomp, SpecsLuke, ect.
-Dusknoir has good coverage with Fire and Ice Punch, but would shadow sneak be more practical?
-Darkrai is unfortunatly modest, which means some REALLY fast pokes (Aero) as well as many scarfed pokes can outspeed him and attack before he can drag them into a shadow realm of miserable sleepyness. (aka: Use Dark Void)
-With almost a gauranteed (sp?) sleep move, It would seem that Darkrai has plenty of time to stat up. Should I sacrifice coverage and run a Calm Mind set? After all, with lifeorb attached, Darkrai needs to make those attacking turns count.

So...those are my main concerns, but theres prolly alot of stuff Ive missed. Thats were you come in! Have at it and RATE MY TEAM!

...oh! Also alert me to any gramatical errors and typos. Thanks.
 
How may I ask did you fix it?
First off, this particular team is ONLY acceptable in ubers, it is banned from OU. Second, this team would preform pretty poorly in ubers since the metagame there is significantly different than OU, and your team is not designed for it (can you stop a specsogre?). Alternatively, you can just swap out Darkrai for something else.
 
This team will hardly to cover the threats present in the ubers metagame. I suggest you read smogon's article on the uber metagame then adjust it accordingly. I realize there is a theme, but removing Darkrai would be the best option to still end up with a competitive team.

EDIT: jk Olie beat me

Would a CBTar work well in place of Darkrai

...Or can I just post this as a "variety" team and keep darkrai, as this team is just Wi-Fi, BT, and wireless?
 
On a different note you didnt provide any descriptions on your pokemon, so im not completely sure how your pokemon are supposed to work together. A note on theme teams unlessed based around a certain support move such as Trick Room, Rain Dance, Baton Pass single type or themed teams tend to have common weakness your's being Lucario w/ Crunch or Shadow Ball and Hidden Power Ice. It definently can't compete in ubers well, so maybe some studying up on how Smogon plays.

A scarfed Luke? Cause Gengar can outspeed luke and use Focus Blast if its not scarfed.

You can't. Only a moderator can edit a thread title.

CB Tar is possible, you have to test it out yourself though. And "variety" teams are not really acceptable here since RMT's are either for OU/UU or Ubers, and occasionally little cup and battle tower teams.

Lucario is seldom used with a choice scarf as most players want to be able to utilize all of it's moves, and a choice scarf makes it quite difficult. And i did some calcs, and Gengar does OHKO with focus blast. Walch out for the occasional bullet punch luke though.

Alright. It seems I have some serious lurking to do before I post these. Ill create the above team, and try to find a OU replacement for Darkrai. After playing around with it, Ill try to post a more detailed RMT. Sorry for the bad thread.

Not to worry, you're not the only one. But yeah... look at the other RMT's and read the rules before you set out on making (or rating) a team of your own.
 
The only way to view this team as competitive is as an uber team, and the theme you have to it has no competitive relevance. We rate competitive teams only. As an uber team, I don't think I have to tell you this team would get crushed.

It obviously cannot be an OU team with one uber.
