My first RMT. The thought process of this team is as follows, set up SR to get damage off and stall throughout the game causing damage and other problems such as paralysis, sleep, poison to bring in my sweepers which can easily be brought in ... Gyarados, an easy switch in from the Jirachi and the Celebi also an easy switch in due to my other walls.. then set up and sweep with either my Gyarados or my Deoxyss.

I think it looks good on paper. Please feel free to comment on any suggestions as all feedback is very much appreciated. Edit changes in bold....


MY Support Lead


Jirachi@ Leftovers
Bold
EVs: HP 196, Def 76, SpD 178, SpA 36, Spd 24
-U-turn
-Wish
-Thunder
-Stealth Rock

Overall a good starter. It sets up SR. It’s Thunder provides 60% chance of paralysis due to serene grace and also pulls off a fare amount of damage. As one of my main walls as well as Milotic and Flygon, I require it throughout the length of the game so have given it wish and protect although it is not a permanent decision. Attracting EQ I can easily switch out to Gyarados with this Jirachi. BTW I gave it extra spd evs to outrun a DDance Gyarados. I decided on U-turn over Wish because this gives it a much-needed wider range of attacks and it can easily switch into Salamence if it runs into any undesired danger.




Milotic @ Leftovers
Bold
EVs: HP 148, Def 228, Satk 132
-Hypnosis
-Ice Beam
-Surf
-Recover

Overall it has good coverage with it’s attacks and hypnosis means that I can easily bring in my Celebi after putting the foe to sleep, Gyarados to begin DDancing or CMing. Recover provides a healing aid as well.

Salamence @ Leftovers
Bold
EVs: HP 216, Def 252, Spd 40
-Roost
-Toxic
-Draco Meteor/EQ
-Fire Blast

It was originally the Flygon but Ive changed it due to it being less fragile.
This guy resists my other 2 walls’ weaknesses… fire, ground,grass... . Therefore with good prediction I can easily bring this guy in and get some toxic off and begin roosting for stall. Its attacks also cover most pokemon that toxic doesn’t effect. Jirachi covers its weaknesses well to and it can easily U-turn into Salamence if it runs into any trouble.


Physical Sweeper


Gyarados @ Life Orb
Adamant
EVs: HP 72, Atk 252, Spd 184
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Ice Fang
-EQ

As Jirachi attracts EQ pokes… Gyarados becomes an easy switch in and after some DDancing it becomes an immediate threat. I am not sure about what item I should give it though. I’ve gone for Life Orb here but that is not a permanent decision.


CM Baton Passer


Celebi @ Leftovers
Timid
EVs: HP 252, Def 80, Spd 176
-Calm Mind
-Baton Pass
-Recover/Leech Seed
-Grass Knot

This guy is really here so that I can bring my Deoxyss in with some Calm Minds although it does provide good support. I am not sure about whether I should give it recover or Leech Seed…. Leech Seed would be as good and would also give good support to my other pokes… especially Deoxyss with Life Orb.


Mixed Sweeper


Deoxyss @ Life Orb
Hasty
EVs: Atk 160, SAtk 252, Spd 80
-Psychic
-Ice Beam
-Tbolt
-SuperPower

The main firepower of my team and with some Calm Mind this thing is an immediate threat. With physical and special attacks it is a handfull. Without this guy the other members of my team have mediocre attack stats so I still am not sure about whether I should bring it out before late game for late game sweeping. Overall providing good coverage with it’s attacks.


Need as much help as possible with this team. Thanks a lot for any feeback.
 
For your Jirachi I would go for U-Turn over protect as it lets you safely switch to an appropiate counter and does good damage to the very commom Azelf leads.
 
I would honestly go Salamence over Flygon, and use the bulkymence set. Flygon is extremely fragile and can't do his job as well as Salamence can. I also would go u turn over Protect. Take Keeret's advice on that one.
 
How should i use the deoxyss-s?.. should i bring it out before late game/before calm minding celebi at all???
