LEAD:
Blue_Lucario_for_Ununununium_by_silverava.png

lucario (M) @ focus sash:the aura fighter
ability:stedfast naughty
evs: 6 speed/252 special atack/252 atack
-close combat
-dragon pulse
-blaze kick
-bullet punch

after thinking a little about bloo rating i realized that my lucario,even has lead,work better has mixed swepper,the first thing to do in the fight would be close combat the enemy lead,if he resist then i try or dragon pulse or blaze kick,focus sash make sure i survive the first turn,i stay using close combat or the others until the enemy atack,probaly with EQ,after lucario survive,if the enemy is faster,i use bullet punch,not like a lot of pokes like to take a close combat and then a bullet punch,both with STAB,dragon pulse for dragons that i hate and blaze kick for metagross,shedninja or even scizor,look somewhat a suicide lead but is better then this,i think it hit all the pokes in the game for neutral damage.

SWEEPERS:
Floatzel_floating_by_RoseRaptor.png

floatzel (F) @ muscle band:speed over power
ability:swift swim jolly
evs:6 hp/252 speed/252 atack
-waterfall
-rain dance
-crunch
-ice punch

has mentioned before,floatzel is made for sweeps,after rain dance begun,floatzel can match scarfed deoxys-s with no problem,waterfall for good power,flinching effect and STAB,rain dance,has mentioned,to gain overpowered speed and power up waterfall damage,crunch for rotoms and gengars,or anything else that can hit for good damage,ice punch to take good care of salamances and others dragons not named kingdra,ruin sandstorms teams.
Gallade_LVX___SF_art_by_nintendo_jr.png

gallade (M) life orb:one shot finish,10 swords rush!
ability:stedfast adamant
evs:252 atack/252 apecial defense/6 speed
-drain punch
-EQ
-leaf blade
-stone edge

gallade is the destroyer of the team,breaking any wall with no problem,drain punch for STAB and recover life orb recoil damage,EQ for good coverage and damage,leaf blade is to take care of what leafeon could do before was taken out,with no leaf blade i am weak to thinks like gastrodon or swamperts,stone edge is to take care of flying dragons,gallade low speed is a problem so instead of increasing it,i gave the evs to atack so that it maximize damage,high special defense make sure it eat a shadow ball and survive the hit,gallade may be a little slow,but with this high atack power he will take someone down before him.
leafeon.png

leafeon (F) shell bell:eat your soul!
ability:leaf guard adamant
evs:252 atack/252 defense/6 speed
-leaf blade
-synthesis
-X-scissor
-yawn

this is a pretty common setup to give to a leafeon if you allow me to say,STAB leaf blade to take care of gastrodons or swamperts,anything from the type,synthesis in my healing core here,the problem is that a lot of OU pokes send out sandstorms right away when they enter,good is that they are normaly rock or ground type pokes,X-scissor for a secondary atack,not like leaf blade alone is going to do the trick,and yawn to make the enemy trade the pokemon or fall sleep in a fight,the defense and atack evs are to make sure it survive a skarmory drill peck,skarmory happen to be a big problem since i cant think of anything to counter then,but at least this leafeon will ohko any swampert,shell bell is to abuse the high damage and recover HP,is never bad to gain a little bonus right?

TANKS,WALL,OTHERS:
Chibi_Gliscor_by_raizy.png

gliscor (M) yache berry:playing with swords!
ability:sand veil impish
evs:6 speed/252 defense/252 HP
-sword dance
-rock polish
-EQ
-baton pass

after hearing Bloo rating i realized that gliscor work very good for BP and stuff,for him to work at 100% dragonite must place light screen and die or trade to gliscor,he SD,RP and BP to metagross,electivire or floatzel,it get EQ for a atacking move since no poke should stay whit no atack moves.i am screw with skarmorys.

metagross.jpg

metagross leafovers:you cant beat me!
ability:clear body adamant
evs:252 atack/252 defense/6 hp
-EQ
-ice punch
-meteor mash
-thunderpunch

turned metagross from supporter to sweep tank,and leaved the suport work to dragonite,i got nearly total coverage,EQ for high damage,ice punch for salamances ho love to EQ me,meteor mash for STAB,high damage and atack bonus chance and thunder punch for gyrados or any other flying type,like skarm or something from the type

electivire (M) life orb:FALCON PUNCH!
ability:motor drive mild
evs:128 atack/252 speed/128 special atack
-flamethrower
-thunder punch
-EQ
-psychic

thanks to Bloo again for the mixed help,even not using the set he said to me to use,i think this one is also effective,flametrower to help with steel and others,thunder punch for obvious reasons,EQ to take care of any stupid eletric type ho dare to thunderbolt me and psychic because i was out of ideas,work better with glicor support.


Dragonite_by_AlexSchram.jpg


dragonite (M) shell bell:dragon fighter
ability:inner focus rash
evs:146 atack/174 speed/190 special atack
-dragon claw
-heat wave
-light screen
-roost

my new friend ho entered on gallade place,after giving up the dual screen strategy and made gliscor a BP i was thinking:what if glicor enter in a fight with something like a empoleon or anything that can use ice beam? he is dead! so from there is where dragonite came! light screen resolve the problem of ice beams,he was going to be just a mixed but when i saw he could learn light screen,he took a complete different hole...
with dragon claw and heat wave he got good coverage,roost can restore damage and light screen support my hole team on the defensive side! from what i could see not many people use this big guy,he got so much potential and only a few ones know how to use,now i get why lance got one...

this is my team,i am still working on him but i thing he work for now,if you guys have sugestions fell free to say! i need you guys help to make my team become stronger! riolu is asking too! dont you want to make him happy?

If you intend on using Electivire, make him a mixed sweeper. Most of your team is using Physical attacks so Electivire will give you a Pokemon that can utilize Special Attacks. Thnk about what Pokemon tend to switch-in on Electivire often. Those Pokemon are Hippowdon, Forretress, Donphan, Celebi, Bronzong, etc. All of those Pokemon tend to invest on more Physical Defense than Special Defense. This means that you can hit them harder with your Special Attacks if you make Electivire a mixed sweeper. In addition to that, Electivire will be able to weaken Physical Walls such as Skarmory and Hippowdon, allowing your Choice Band Flygon to break through said Physical Walls easier. So for Electivire,I suggest using ThunderBolt, Flamethrower, Cross Chop, Hidden Power Ice, 36 Atk / 252 SpA / 220 Spe, Mild, Expert Belt. It's a pretty self-explanatory set.

Having Lucario and Gallade on the same team is a bit redudant. Lucario is generally better due to its superior typing which allows Lucario to switch-in on its many resistances and set up, and hopefully sweep! I also think that Lucario could be used better on this team, instead of being the lead. You lack a Stealth Rock user. In such an offensive oriented metagame, it is very useful to have a Pokemon that can use Stealth Rock as it aids turns some 2HKOes into OHKOes. Metagross usually has better things to do rather then trying to set up Dual Screens. You can actually revolve a strategy around your Gliscor and Metagross as I will explain later.

Now all you need is a Stealth Rock user and a Pokemon that can use Reflect and Light Screen. Try Azelf over Gallade and make Azelf the lead. Lucario outclasses Gallade as a sweep due to the superior typing, etc. That is the main reason to use it over Gallade. Azelf can also use Reflect and Light Screen in addition to Stealth Rock to aid your sweepers do their job and Gliscor to set up. A simple set of Reflect/Light Screen/Stealth Rock/Explosion, 252 HP/252Speed/6 Attack, Jolly, Light Clay should work. This set is also self-explanatory

You have the makings of a Dual Screen -----> Gliscor ----> Metagross team is you change the team around slightly. Simply use another Dual Screen (which is the Azelf I suggested) other than Metagross, make Metagross a sweeper, and Gliscor the Baton Passer. The combination of Light Screen + Reflect to allow Gliscor to come in and start setting up. When Gliscor comes in, it will most likely start using Rock Polish+Swords Dance until it is low on health. Gliscor should have little to no trouble setting up since behind Reflect and Light Screen, Gliscor is incredibly bulky. After Gliscor has finished setting up the necessary amount of boosts, you use Baton Pass to pass your boosts onto Metagross who then begins to wreak havoc on the opponents team. That strategy is highly effective and quite easy to use. Now, if you are interested in using that startegy, we have to figure out what Pokemon we want to replace.

I suggest using Giscor with Rock Polish, Swords Dance, Baton Pass, Taunt or Earthquake. Rock Polish is to boost your speed to high levels allowing you to outspeed the majority of Pokemon. Taunt prevents Pokemon such as Skarmory from phazing you away while Swords Dance is used to boost your Attack to high levels and then use Baton Pass to pass the boosts to your Metagross. If you want an attacking move, use Earthquake so Gliscor can do some damage to Pokemon such as Heatran, Metagross, Lucario, etc.The item for Gliscor is Yache Berry to allow you to survive any Ice attack just in case the Screens are not set up. EV's are 252 HP / 196 SpD / 60 Spe .

Now, Most people assume that Metagross is the Pass target and will Earthquake, so I suggest using Shuca Berry (Ground Resist) to keep Metagross safe. The moveset for Metagross is Meteor Mash/Thunder Punch/Ice Punch/Earthquake, 112 HP / 252 Atk / 12 Def / 132 Spe, Adamant. You gain great type coverage with the above moves, allowing Metagross to hit a wide variety of Pokemon super effectively.

Now Flotazel is outclassed by Kingdra in the Rain and Gyarados as a physical sweep. I suggest changing Floatzel with Gyarados, as you do not really need Rain on this team. With Screens up, Gyarados becomes a terribly difficult Pokemon to take down, meaning Gyarados can begin to set up some Dragon Dances comfortably and sweep!. Gyarados attracts Electric attacks for your Electivire just like Flotazel does and Gyarados also provides some useful resistances to Fighting, Ground, Fire, etc

Lastly, if you want to keep Agility Lucario, use Close Combat over Aura Sphere. Close Combat will mainly allow Lucario to destroy Blissey while still providing Lucario with apowerful STAB move. In addition to this, use Hidden Power Ice over so Lucario can kill Gliscor after an Agility boost in addition to still hitting Salamence and other super effectively. With Close Combat, it is best to use a spread of 184 Atk / 128 SpA / 196 Spe , Life Orb, and Naughty. No need for Focus Sash as Lucario is not leading so LO is used isntead to gain more power.
 
i will see what i can do

about your ideas:at the first i was thinking on making electivire mixed but i was in doubt,glady to see someone helping me out with this,about the lead,is there no other one that can use the walls and stelt rock? i am no fan of azelf and i am sure that my team can work effective even not using him,about gyra,i cant see how gyra and kingdra are more effective in rain then floatzel,gyra only use is to sweep after 2 or 3 DD and it not even win the speed boost in rain,kindgra is all out average in stats but still is outspeed by floatzel,in or out of rain,only if he got choice scarf,i understand that gallade must go out,but has i said,i dont think that a explosive lead is going to do anything else then setup and explode,i faced lots of azelf leads and my lucario made quick work of then,this even remind me of my luke sweep the other day,but that is beside the point,gliscor could even BP to others,but not metagross,if he BP to someone,luke make better then metagross,taking that the screens are still in-game,i pretend to see if i can pull of a better strategy given your rating,and even the strategys being good,i will see if i can fuse mine and yous to try to form a more...uncomoon one,but thanks for the tips!
