Team Godsend. RMT. New Battler

King Juice

OK guys. This is my first real team, so i guess i might as well ask you to help me rate it. I will be using this team for Wi-Fi just in case you were wondering. I was trying to make a team centered around my Gyrados (who has 31 ivs in speed and attack). Remember! I am new at this whole battling thing so i need your constructive comments. I have attempted to create a team with a lack of weaknesses and I am willing to change or add new pokes.
Changes in BOLD


The Lead:

Bronzong @ Lum Berry w/ Leviate
Nature: Sassy
EVs: 252 HP/ 128 Att/ 128 SpDef
-Gyro Ball
-Stealth Rocks
-Hypnosis
-Explosion?/EQ
Standard Bronzong lead. Set up stealth rocks or hypnosis early. Counters many leads. I do not know what I should put in for the last slot. Explosion when im at low health maybe? Also need help with the EV spread.

Gengar @ Life Orb/ Wide Lens
Nature: Timid
EVs:4 HP/ 252 SpAtt/ 252 Spe
-Destiny Bond/ Hypnosis/HP Dragon
-T-Bolt
-Shadow Ball
-Foucs Blast
Special Sweeper. Takes care of Gyrados, T-tar, etc. Wide Lens gives more accurracy to hypnosis and focus blast, which help this frail sweeper a chance to sweep entire teams hopefully. HP draagon for those annyoing dragons but its power is 49.... should i use??

Infernape @Life Orb
Nature: Naive
EVs: 24 Atk/ 252 SpAtt/234 Spe?
-Flamethrower
-Nasty Plot
-Close Combat
-Grass Knot
Standard MixNape here. Worried about Nasty Plot though... Infernape cannot take a hit very well. 24 att to hit Bliss i think? Grass Knot for pesky bulky waters and some grounds/rocks. If Sand storm is in play Close Combat can be used for T tar and other rocks.

Moltres @ Leftovers
Nature: Bold
EVs: 248 HP, 152 defense, 108 speed
-Flamethrower
-Roost
-Substitue
-Toxic
StallTres!!!! I cant believe that i found one but hey here it is. This may seem weird to have on the same team as an infernape but it could work. It literelly PP stall many pokes. Toxic + Roost+ Substitute will annoy the hell out of many pokes. With this def evs an Adamant Swords Danced Life Orb Lucario Close Combat will 2HKO, as will a Swords Danced Life Orb Jolly Weavile Ice Punch and a Swords Danced Life Orb Technician Scizor Quick Attack will 3HKO. Should i add to my team??

Donphan@ Leftovers
Nature: Impish
EVs:252 HP / 6 Atk / 252 Def
-Rapid Spin
-Ice Shard
-Roar
-EQ
Decided to get rid of Swampert. Donphan gets Rapid Spin which allows easy switch ins for Moltres and Gyarados. EQ on Donphan is stronger than Swampert.

Gyrados @ Leftovers
Nature: Adament
EVs: 80 HP/252 Att/ 176 Spe?
-D Dance
-EQ
-Waterfall
-Ice Fang
The champion of this team! Standard Dragon Dance up and sweep. EQ for electrics that stop my parade. Ice Fang for annoying dragons and Waterfall for STAB. Confused on EV spread. Im not sure whether i should give him some more def EVs to survive to make it bulkier. Do i need Taunt?

Overall Problems and Concerns:
-Too many Leftovers 4!
-Too many EQ users 3!



This is my first legitimate team! It either sucks or has some potential. Im open to all comments and changes. Also how do you put pictures up??
Thanks Guys!!
Thanks to Dark Typhlosion157 for ideas.
 
Ok, first consider adding a larger description, I don't know if this cuts it. Explain why you chose the pokemon especially with relevance to other team members.
second, to add pictures, the easy thing is to get an img code from photbucket, but the better way to go is copying the links of the sprite pictures from pokemonelite2000.com and putting
in back of the link.
Third, registeel is pretty horrible haha.

So yeah, fix up the thread a little and then good luck getting better raters than me haha

Registeel @ Leftovers
Nature: Sassy
Evs: 252 HP/ 56 Def/ 200 SpDef?
-EQ
-Toxic
-Thunder
-Explosion/Protect?
Decent special wall. EQ for Electrics like Electrivire and Starmie. Thunder for Gyrados. Toxic for stall, so should i use Protect to increase stall and gain health or use Explosion??
Click to expand...

I wasn't aware that Starmie was an electric type. EQ seems rather useless, I think Hammer Arm would be better not only for Tyranitar, but Porygon-Z as well.
 
yache SD garchomp kills mixape, registeel, gyara, swampert, bronzong and gengar if it wakes up quick enough, bronzong would be gone anyways as its a lead so once gengar is gone garchomp is faster than everything except mixape, yache berry allows SD unless gengar has done serious damage to it
 
Explosion on Bronzong would help you on those tight moments, Eartquake is generally used for those Magnezone and Heatran switch-ins, which Swampert has you covered on that, so Explosion would help you when Bronzong can't no longer be kept alive, and it "ensures" the kill of a pokemon. The standard EV spread is ok, but the one you currently have is fine, I don't see any problems with it.

You should really try HP Ice > Nasty Plot on Infernape, it will give you more coverage. 24 Atk / 252 SpAtk / 232 Spd @ Naive should be enough, Expert Belt should help you out, to ensure those OHKO's on pokemon like Salamence. I think you should put Stone Edge / HP Electric on Swampert just to atleast scare off those Gyarados, although it's not safe, but it works.

Pokemon with BoltBeam, Starmie in general give you problems, as you have no solid special wall, or something that can soak them up. I would put a Calm Zapdos over Registeel tbh, since you want to keep Gyarados, just make it more Bulky than it is, more Defensive EV's to take care of Lucario and Heracross, physical pokemon in Gengeral. Calm Zapdos will provide coverage against special attacking pokemon, such as Gengar and MixApe. There is nothing wrong with having 4 Leftovers and many pokemon with the same attack, just ignore those people who say that :\. I feel like I'm missing something, I don't know what though.
 
Thanks Venom for the ideas. I will try to get a HP ice Nape and a Calm Zapdos. And to thechocolatebunny, if i am mistaken please correct me, but i thought the rules on this forum was that if you see a problem give examples to help me fix the problem.... Thanks anyway i guess...
 
gyara is great but if thats your main sweeper well than you should consider the fact that there are better sweepers out there, salamence has higher ATK and SPE and intimidate and DD, draggy has more power and DD too, garchomp has better stats pretty much everywhere except for SPD and, it gets STAB EQ and SD, when yache chomp forces a switch and gets SD on the switch its like a 99% chance of killing, gyara is strong but i like to think of it as more complementary or a early-mid game revenger while your using it as your last poke, agiligross is another stronger poke and clear body isnt bad either
 
Take out Registeel having it in the same team with a Bronzong is a bit redundant and I agree with tcb about you needing another sweeper, so why not just swap it with Garchomp. I recommend you using this set.

Garchomp@ Yache Berry
Jolly
4 hp/252 atk/ 252 spe
-swords dance
-earthquake
-dragon claw
-fire fang
 
This team may also want some Rapid Spin support (especially if you choose Zapdos over Registeel) so your Gyarados and StallTres, especially, aren't as disadvantaged on the switch in. The main problem is the pool of decent spinners is so choice-limited. Possibly swap Swampert for a standard Spinning Starmie and then a Calm Zapdos over Registeel for that Special Defensive presence.
