Team R@nd0m!

[joeskeet]

Ok, so this is my second team...There really is no strategy but some of my favorite pokemon all compiled into one team. Please give me your feedback!

Orlando(Accelgor)@Focus Sash
Nature: Hasty
Ability: Hydration
EVs: 252 Spe/252 SpA/4 HP

-Spikes
-U turn
-Yawn
-Bug Buzz

--Orlando is my lead...fast as poopy and a decent special attack stat...able to set up spikes and yawn to force pokemon to switch out.

Samuel(Snorlax)@ Chesto Berry
Nature: Sassy
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 HP/252 SpD/4 Atk

-Return
-Rest
-Recycle
-Earthquake

--Samuel is my special wall...return for a powerful STAB move along with earthquake for coverage...rest to recover health and chesto berry to wake up instantly, then recycle to be able to re-use chesto berry...etc :)

Jacob(Ferrothorn)@ Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP/252 SpD/4 Def

-Curse
-Gyro Ball
-Power Whip
-Stealth Rock

--My Physical wall...Jacob is my go to guy when i am ever in doubt...great bulk and many resistances...curse to up def even more and make gyro ball very threatening...power whip and steath rock are pretty standard too.

Rhonda(Whimsicott)@ Big Root
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP/252 Spe/4 Atk

-Taunt
-Encore
-Substitute
-Leech Seed

--I love this pokemon! Prankster is one of the greatest abilities in the game i think...if i see any taunt users i have taunt that can go first due to prankster and then i can lock them into it with encore...sub-seed is pretty standard on this guy but boy does she annoy people...i chose big root over leftovers because if i decide to switch out into another pokemon after leech seed has been used they receive more health from leech seed as well.

Leonard(Haxorus)@ Life Orb
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe/4 Def

-Brick Break
-Earthquake
-Dual Chop
-Dragon Dance

--My physical attacking beast...with just one dragon dance this guy can almost one hit anything...i chose dual chop over dragon claw because dual chop breaks any annoying focus sashes...brick break and earthquake for coverage...this guy is a monster

Blair(Starmie)@ Life Orb
Nature: Timid
Ability: Natural cure
EVs: 252 SpA/252 Spe/4 HP

-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Recover
-Thunderbolt

--Everyone has a starmie...but everyone has one because they kick ass lol...standard moveset with surf ice beam and thunderbolt for all great coverage...recover to heal instantly and life orb to make it more of an offensive threat.

Well, thats it! Its not the best team but i just want some feedback to see what i should improve on!

This is a really nice team! I just have a few suggestions to make.

I don't think you should use Big Root on Whimsicott - overall, even if the opponent pokemon is Blissey, Leftovers gets better recovery. After some math that I did, if you want Big Root to get more HP than Leftovers, the opposing pokemon needs to have more than 1080 HP. Good luck finding one with that..

Second, Haxorus should usually be holding a Life Orb over a muscle band. Also, a STAB move for Haxorus is needed, so I would replace Earthquake with Outrage.

Third, I hope Ferrothorn has 0 speed IV's. I would remove Curse because a more useful move can be put there. Ferrothorn isn't meant to sweep - it's meant to set up entry hazards effectively. I would put either Spikes or Leech Seed there.

Other than that, everything looks good! Good luck with your team!

Deoxys-S is superior at setting up Spikes, because Accelgor also dies to Pursuit on the switch. Use the standard Deoxys-S spiker.

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.

You need to expand on your descriptions. Read the above rule carefully, PM me the changes and I'll unlock this. Thanks
