This Infernape is a Lead and an Anti-Lead at the same time. It can destroy the oppenent's lead before they put up SR and put up SR itself.

Heracross' purpose is just to sweep. With Flame Orb Heracross' Guts activates and Heracross can do tons of damage and rip through opponents.

Before this is locked for too short descriptions...

Take off flame orb on heracross for a toxic. Burns hurt his much-needed attack.
Take off facade. His stabs will do a lot better than it. Your choice for its replacement.

That's all I can say for now.

Doom will be coming if you meet a LO infernape he can hit everything on your team for super effective and most likely ohko and nothing here outspeeds it lol i recomend scarfing flygon to deal with that and running a set with u turn EQ outrage and last slot fire blast\stone edge

I would recoemend running jolly on heracross as its not going to be able to kill much especially if your playing it early game like it sounds like.

@Quagsires, Guts negates the Burn decrease in Attack, so Flame Orb is the better choice.

I really question the need for a Rapid Spinner in this team... nothing is really hurt by SR much and the team looks like it doesnt know if it wants to be hyper-offense or stall...

And is Gyarados really that big of a threat? I really don't see it much at all that much in the ladder..

In conclusion, i think the team needs a bit more focus; Magnezone and Foretress could easily be replaces with something that cover more common threats, and this team is in serious danger of being sweeped by LO infernape late game.

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, lengthen your descriptions by including more information. By adding more information, the individuals that decide to rate your team will be able to help you more effectively. I recommend lurking through the RMT Archive in order to see prime examples of what we're looking for in an RMT! If you improve your explanations for your Pokémon, please private message me indicating that you've done so by showing me your new descriptions. Once you've done that, I will re-open this thread.
