Team September - Aren't I imaginative? [RMT]

Archer

Hey Everyone, I'm not exactly new but I have rarely posted here. I was wondering if you guys could help me... Here goes...

OK, Lead Champ, but with Payback for Celebi and Cress Switch-ins.

DD Gyara with my Preferred Coverage. I don't like Stone Edge due to the Accuracy.

SubLO Mamo, which seems the be the weakest link in my team. I have found this more useful than the other sets, but I may still drop it.

Awesome fun to use, also for trapping the Steels that give me problems. 4 more speed than standard because I feel like it.

CroCune. It's here because the other versions don't seem to stick around well enough, although now it doesn't counter Gyara.

Here for revenge killing. I find the power boost from Modest to be handy, especially when Deoxys should be going Uber soon.


Ok, so that's my team. I obviously need some help, so tell me what to change and tell me any layout problems.
 
Dunno if you changed it on purpose, but the 160 Def EVs on that lead 'Champ should be transferred to Atk. Without those, you won't be hitting hard enough. Also make sure it has 17 Speed IVs, so Zong can't break its subs. That's all I can say, it seems like a solid team.
 
It has 17 Spd IVs, yes. And People will try to Set up or switch if they don't think they can OHKO. So you get a sub to hit from behind.

I will think about moving some EVs, but it needs to be sturdy...

Also, my friend thinks the team is too slow, I was thinking of swapping Mamoswine for something faster.
 
I don't like what Gyarados does to your team. Suicune has only Surf and your Gyarados doesn't even have Bulky EV's/Stone Edge. You have Gengar for revenge killing but if they catch on that its Scarfed, Pursuit Tyranitar will trap it and fuck it up. Thats why I recommend you get a more dedicated Gyarados counter like Celebi. With Celebi, Swords Dance/Bullet Punch/Extremespeed/Close Combat doesn't sweep you either, although it will admittedly have trouble setting up. Also stuff like Scarfed Azelf seem to hurt your team, so maybe if you put HP Electric > Calm Mind on Suicune, and put a Scarfed Heatran over Mamoswine. This and a Deoxys over your ScarfGar.

This means you get a Gyara counter, something to deal with Blissey and a speedy revenge killer for Lucario whilst still retaining a fast revenge killer.

So yeah my changes in summary:

Heatran > Mamoswine
Deoxys > Gengar
HP Electric > Calm Mind (Suicune)

Hope I helped :)
 
Ok, Heatran over Mamo sounds OK, but I need to keep an Electric Immune.
I have been experimenting with Vire over Mamo, and it seems to work. I'll need some testing, But I also want to fit Heatran in somewhere.

I am concerned about building a team with Deoxys in it, as looks like it'll be banned soon, and I don't want to be left without a replacement.

Crocune seems the most sturdy version, but I guess a Restalk Version could be ok. If I find another Gyara counter that is effeective, I may be inclined to change Suicune to Swampert.

Thanks for the help.
