Team Winning Streak

Time Phantom

This is the best team so far, I won exactly 16 battles straight with this winning team, until I lost against a random hacker.


Yanmega @ Focus Sash
~Bug Buzz
~Air Slash
~Protect
~U-Turn

I find this Yanmega really good. B Buzz and A Slash is normal. Then, protect to raise my speed a bit then U-Turn to switch without a scar.

Ambipom @ Leftover
~Fake Out
~Thunderbolt
~Brick Break
~U-Turn

This is one of the first sweeping monkey. I use Fake Out to flinch the opponent then if it's a Skarmory, I use T-Bolt then if it's a Bliss, I use Brick Break. Then, again U-Turn

Machamp @ Salac Berry
~Cross Chop
~Fire Blast
~Ice Punch
~Endure

This is my favourite on the team. Cross Chop and Ice Punch then when it's trouble, I use Endure and Salac Berry raises my speed, that when I use Fire Blast, the unique-est move that a Machamp can ever have. This usually sweeps half the opponent's pokemons.

Kabutops @ Leftovers
~Waterfall
~Brick Break
~X-Scissor
~Rock Slide

I don't need SD for this Sweeping Shell. No explanation for this one.

Carnivine @ Choice Scarf
~Power Whip
~Crunch
~Swords Dance
~Sludge Bomb

Pretty unique pokemon right? SD five thosand times and own everyone if I get to Carnivine :)

Dusknoir @ Choice Band
~Fire Punch
~Ice Punch
~Thunder Punch
~Shawdow Ball

All punch ghost.
 
all your pokemon are under the same overlapping conditions, they all simply attack (with unboosted attacks) and they are all easily walled. Not to mention a SpecGar lead can probably take out your whole team (having to switch only sparingly and easily coming back in).

Yanmega loses to common leads such as TTar/SpecsGar/Bronzong and I'm not sure the average damage of a CB Ice Shard from Weavile but it probably isn't pretty. I'm guessing at your EVs/Nature here, but based on your Ambipom set, none of its attacks can be very strong as you had to split the EVs and in addition, you more than likely had to give it a -def/spdef nature so it's probably even more frail than usual.

Any Machamp sporting Fire Blast in its moveset should also hold a Life Orb, as other wise, it will really be too weak to be of any use. Fire and Ice+Fighting really doesn't help cover anything, save bug. And even if you're running Jolly/Hasty and max speed, Machamp is way too slow to pull off a Salac Sweep; I'm not sure how you might've done it so many times.

Kabutops is also slow except this time, you don't even sport Swords Dance to boost its decent attack. There's no way a slow unboosted/no CB/LO/Expert Belt Kabutops can sweep teams. Carnivine is UU, holding Choice Scarf (with Swords Dance), slow, and has an unSTABed special move (Sludge Bomb) in it's moveset which adds nothing to its coverage. Get rid of it.

Dusknoir is a bulky spin blocker; to make it an all-out CBer is risky, especially considering that's exactly what the rest of your team tries to do... Shadow Ball is special now, I think you meant Shadow Sneak/Punch
 
I re-made my Dusko

Dusknoir @ ???
~Shadow Punch
~Thunderpunch
~Ice Punch
~Brick Break

Or

Dusknoir @ ???
~Shadow Punch
~Fire Punch
~Charge Beam
~Brick Break/Earthquake/Painsplit

What about now?
 
Time Phantom, please edit your OP when updating your team. That will help keep the topic clean and orderly.
You might also want to refer to the smogon dex for help with movesets and EVs!

Click to expand...

Still no. The point is that you just slapped on attacking moves, and have no real strategy/support... you may want to study the smogon dex, other RMT's, and then get back to this... just so you can get some ideas.

Also, your items tend to get in the way of your own strategies... (Choice Scarf and SD on Carnivine? O_o) so try and fix those.

And please, next time don't forget Nature's and EV's- those are really important too...
