Standard OU is standard

[irith locke]

I'm liking the majority of my team a lot (not Blissey, but she just does her job too well), but I need a final member. I've been using Latias, but she never does anything noteworthy; too many things counter her. Also, I'd prefer it if whatever you suggest does not require Platinum move tutors or is a running legendary. Eventually I want to make this team in-game as well, and I don't have Platinum or the patience to get a good Latias, or whatever.

Give me your opinions on what I have, and what I should add in.

Metagross@Choice Band
Clear Body
Adamant
252 HP/252 atk/4 spe
-Meteor Mash
-Bullet Punch
-Earthquake
-Pursuit

Bog-standard CBGross.

Gyarados@Leftovers
Intimidate
Adamant
252atk/100 hp/62 def/96 spe
-Waterfall
-Return
-Earthquake
-Dragon Dance

I like this Gyara a lot. 96 speed allows it to outspeed any non speed natured T-tar. Unsure of the defensive EV's though. Water/Normal combination gets great coverage, with EQ to gain (I think) perfect coverage.

Volcarona@Leftovers
Swarm
Bold
252HP/252def/4 spe
-Fiery Dance
-Bug Buzz
-Psychic
-Quiver Dance

Oh boy, bulky Volcarona. This thing is a beast. Switch in on something that can't threaten it, Quiver Dance on the switch, proceed to sweep. It wins me more matches than anything else, and I can see why people want it uber.

Ferrothorn@Leftovers
Iron Barbs
Relaxed
252 hp/ 252 def/4 spdef
-Gyro Ball
-Power Whip
-Stealth Rock
-Leech Seed

Not entirely sure on the merits of fully defensive Ferro, but it works pretty well. Leech Seed is actually one of my most used moves, it forces switches a lot.

Blissey@Leftovers
Natural Cure
Calm
252 hp/252 def/4 spdef
-Aromatherapy
-Softboiled
-Thunder Wave
-Ice Beam

Blissey is just unspeakably good. Aromatherapy clears away nasty status moves, Thunderwave cripples enemy sweepers (Infernapes switching in HATE this), and Ice Beam has tended to be the most consistent/useful coverage.

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

Your descriptions are lacking, which means you are violating the above quoted RMT rule. If you wish to remedy this problem, explain your reasoning behind each Pokemon and why they work on your team more thoroughly. Try to aim for 3-4 sentences with your descriptions. I recommend lurking through the RMT Archive in order to see examples of what we're looking for in an RMT! If you fix this, let me know via PM and I'll unlock your thread.

You also cannot post incomplete teams; you need a sixth member.
