Garchomp (M) @ Ground Gem
Trait: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Protect
- Swords Dance

My Garchomp have sword dance instead of rock slide because i never this i need that.
It have dragon claws and earthquakes full coverage and protect make it sturdy when my rotom wash use
Thunder wave on those kingdras and other problems like adomasnow, paltitoad, latios/as,etc.
I chose this just because I like and it's nice coverage.

Staraptor (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 68 Spd / 252 Atk / 188 HP
Adamant Nature
- Close Combat
- Brave Bird
- U-turn
- Return

It is realy great in my team and as i use it when i start playing vgc and in other formats I know how to use it very well.It's speed is just desent so i use scarf to outspeed most of threads and can ast like a real revenge killer.
But should i replace return to double edge?

Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 124 Def / 4 Spd / 128 SDef
Modest Nature
- Discharge
- Protect
- Hydro Pump
- Thunder Wave

It is in my team because it have great typing and ability which suits my team.
It helps garchomp a lot that is why I use thoem both as a lead but some times it gets very high damage from thunder and thunder bolts should i replace left offer to waccan berry?
What is the best move to replace protect or is should not replace it?

Amoonguss (M) @ Black Sludge
Trait: Effect Spore
EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spd
- Giga Drain
- Spore
- Protect
- Rage Powder

This is my counter to trick room team but still confuce what to give it to hold and it is not good offensively.
Normally when it's partner is fainted i lost the whole battle.

Ambipom (M) @ Normal Gem
Trait: Technician
EVs: 196 Spd / 252 Atk / 60 HP
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- Low Sweep
- Return
- Protect

I was thinking to give it thunder wave as poltitoads and kingdraves will protect when it is on the field and my garchomp will use sword dance that time and then next turn garchomp will go with protect and ambipom with thunder wave on kingdra in 3rd turn Garchomp can sweep them both with earthquake.
It is fail when there is any ghost type pokemon.

Scizor (M) @ Steel Gem
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spd
- Bug Bite
- Bullet Punch
- Swords Dance
- Protect

Scizor is a counter for trick room teams nut it have very bad coverage and a fail against any fire type ot a pokemon with hidden power fire i have protect and garchomp to counter heatran, ninetales,etc

Hi, your descriptions are lacking. It's good that you're asking what to improve, but you should probably explain why you chose this Pokemon / what role it serves on your team. I'll rate once your descriptions are up to par.
