Team for friend (OU)

[Jenta]

Ok so I've been helping a friend with this team and now I would like Smogon to help me on this one:

​

Speed Boost
Peteya Berry
Timid
252 SpA/252 Spe

Substitute
Air Slash
Bug Buzz
HP Ground

​

Yanmega is the lead of this team. Substitute to protect from status first turn and get the speed boost. Sub down to 25% to get the berry boost and then can become a potential sweeper.

Motor Drive
Life Orb
Naughty
6 Hp/252 Atk/40 SpA/212 Spe
Earthquake
Ice Punch
Thunderbolt
Flamethrower

This Electivire can make some players not know what will happen. This mix sweeper has the potential to take down Suicune, Skarmory, Forretress, Bronzong, Slowbro, Slowking, Vaporeon and other pokemon who think they can wall this guy. Just get the motor boost and then can become another potential sweeper.

Flash Fire
Choice Scarf
Naive
6 Atk/252 SpA/252 Spe
Earth Power
Fire Blast
HP Ice
Explosion

Standered old Choice Tran. Choice Scarf for outrunning everything. HP Ice for those dragons. Explosion for the Blissey problem on this team.

Intimidate
Life Orb
Lonely
252 Atk/86 SpA/176 Spe
Dragon Dance
Outrage
Draco Meteor
Fireblast

Now this guy needs some work. I definitely need to fix him. He's a mix sweeper with fireblast to take down Skarmory and Bronzong. Outrage to sweep when pulled enough DD's.

Levitate
Leftovers
Bold
252 Hp/252 Def
Calm Mind
Shadow Ball
HP Fighting
Rest/Moonlight

This is alright but could be fixed. This Cress is a potential sweeper and wall. HP fighting for those dark types who'll try to wall this. Calm mind helps and this Cress has taken down many Cunes in her path.

Water Absorb
Leftovers
Bold
12 Hp/104 Def/176 SpA/218 SpD
Acid Armor
Baton Pass
Surf
HP Electric

Another Defensive wall on the team. Her Evs probably need to be fixed because SpD won't help against electric moves still.
Acid Armor helps it's pathetic defense and baton pass for any pokemon who needs it like Heatran.

While on Smogon the troubles I've faced are mostly this:

• Need a good fighting move against Dark and Blissey because HP fighting does not do that much damage.

<ul>A better defensive pokemon I think

Change Electrivires nature to + atk - Def/Sp.def. or + spd - Def/Sp.def

You still want his sp.atks to do a lot of damage.

Hello Jenta.


For starters, I'd like you to take a look at the RMT rules.

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.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

Abiding by this rule will make the team raters job a lot simpler, making your team a lot better.

Thanks!

After reading SoT's post, I think I am allowed to tell you that you may want to beef up your descriptions, or some mod will lock this thread under rule 3:

EDIT:Diinbong beat me

Protect on yamega over substitute and use a focus sash. That free speed boost is invaluable, moreso than sub petaya, and in this metagame you will get revenge killed quite easily.

HP Ice > Ice Punch and Cross Chop > Earthquake on electivire and use an expert belt.

Moonlight on cresselia and use Earthquake on Salamence instead of draco meteor.

Now vaporeon...252 def, 188 hp, rest in sp. def is what you'll want and use the following: Wish / Protect / Surf / Toxic or Hp Electric.
