Team Perfect Synergy

Hey,

If you want to use Thunder Wave on Ferro, use it over Gyro Ball. Thunder Wave powers down Gyro Ball, and really Power Whip is all Ferrothorn needs to deal with rain, and common sand sweepers such as Landorus or Excadrill.

I feel that a double dance Terrakion would be a great fit on a team like this, especially since you have a way of luring out and defeating Gliscor via Tyranitar. Its great bulk and 50% Sp Def boost under Sandstorm gives it plenty of opportunities to set up, and after an RP it can easily clean up teams. If you make the switch, you can try out a Scarf Rotom over your current set. Scarf Rotom is still able to revenge kill threats to this team such as Thundurus, and can trick a Scarf onto CM Reuniclus as a last ditch attempt to prevent a sweep. The added speed is very welcome, and makes it much more effective against rain seeing as it can now outspeed a lot of rain sweepers. The set for Rotom is Hydro Pump | Volt Switch | HP Ice | Trick. You can still run a bulky EV spread if you wish, seeing as Rotom does not need too much offensive investment with Spikes and SR. Just run enough speed to get the jump on a +1 DD Nite. Terrakions EV spread is a simple max attack | max speed with a moveset of Stone Edge | Close Combat | Swords Dance | Rock Polish. Really, its two STABs are all Terrakion needs to attempt a sweep, but it's perfectly viable to run X-Scissor over Swords Dance to have a more reliable way of hitting the Lati twins and Reuniclus. Air Balloon and Life Orb are both useful items, Air Balloon makes Terrakion a great Landorus and Excadrill check, while Life Orb is good for the power if you go with just Rock Polish.

Good luck!
 
i hate to be a citric but this team doesnt have "perfect" synergy, its close you have 3 ground weaknesses and not counting the chople you have 3 fighting weaknesses as well, the reason i dont include chople is because that maybe it checks thunderus, gengar etc but it doesnt check or counter ACTUAL FIGHTING TYPES, with no super effective moves on pokes like infernape, roobushin, scrafty ( to correct someone else scrafty would need 2 DD's to outspeed terakion so its not that scrafty weak) etc it doesnt really help. But aside from me being nit picky it is a good team. Im sorry i dont have advise except why spikes over SR on ferro? stealth rocks do more than 1 and the same amount as 2 layers of spikes (excluding resistances)
 
Thanks for the rate iron, that actually does sound like a really good idea for rotom-w being scarfed and terrakion running that double boosting set, I will for sure test it out now that you mention it. A friend of mine actually recommend using a banded scizor in place of ferrothorn to add more offensive power over ferrothorn who's water an electric resists are not that useful to my team, anyone think of any reasons I should not? My fighting weakness is not as bad as you think it is because I have the best fighting resist in the game having gliscor, I also have two ground immunities so I don't see it being a problem and it hasn't so far
 
Bump, still looking for a rate on the updated team, scizor was replaced over ferrothorn and some spreads were changed if you are wondering what is new.
