TEAMMM

[Purple Grind]

Hey guys I know you hate rating new players' rmt's but I want you to take a look at mine. I'm relatively new and this is my first rmt so be gentle. Here's my team:

Da moves:

Uxinator (Uxie) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Wave
- Heal Bell
- U-turn
Uxie support set, heal bell is incase azumarill gets burned or something. Usually all this thing does is set up stealth rocks and take hits once in a while. Not an amazing pokemon but kinda useful sometimes.


Thug Lyfe (Xatu) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Toxic
- Psyshock
- Roost
- U-turn
Magic bounce is amazing. Toxic lets xatu do some damage to bulkier stuff and psyshock over psychic is for roserade.


Simba (Cobalion) @ Life Orb
Trait: Justified
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- X-Scissor
Standard swords dance set. Cobalion is the main sweeper on my team and he does a good job at it. I like the power that life orb gives him, and a lot of times that extra power is the damage I need to secure a KO. Great pokemon.


Ban me! (Roserade) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Spikes
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
- Rest
Roserade is a great spiker as well as my counter to bulky waters who would otherwise have a field day with my team. Another invaluable member of my team.


Bling Bling (Chandelure) (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Overheat
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball
- Flamethrower
Chandelure is a cool pokemon and I love its typing. It is a great special attacker who also doubles as a spin blocker. I chose choice specs for the ability to switch into defensive hitmontop, the most common rapid spinner, and ohko it with overheat. Chandelure also helps me fight off certain threats like scarf heracross.


Raiblu (Azumarill) (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Huge Power
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Waterfall
- Aqua Jet
- Return
- Superpower
My priority user. Comes in handy a lot and is great at revenge killing. I chose superpower over ice punch for the last slot because I like the ability to kill empoleon over the ability to hit shaymin and tangrowth harder. Fighting is also a generally good attacking type.

So that's my team. Any and all advice is appreciated.

The team is good, although I would change some little things. First, I find you really weak to Pursuiters because of your triple weakness to Dark. The same goes for Ghost attacks : Mismagius will be really annoying for this team. Same goes for Zapdos, you don't really have anything to check it. And at last but not at least, Nasty Plot Mew and Sharpedo will be really hard to stop. Cobalion is great defensively, but you use a very offensive version with Life orb, which means he won't be always able to take hits for a long.

My advice for you would be to replace Cobalion with a more defensive steel pokemon, like Registeel or Bronzong for example. Once you've done this, Uxie won't be really usefull anymore and there you have many options that open for you. You could go for Rhyperior to help you against Zapdos, but then again you would still stay weak to Sharpedo and Nasty Plot Mew. For Mew I think scarfing your Chandelure could be a good option and for Sharpedo you should save your Bronzong/Registeel until late game if you see him in opponnent's team. Oh and btw, my choice for you would go to Bronzong over Registeel, because if you do everything I said you would be weak to ground attacks of scarfed Flygon or Krookodile and Bronzong with its Levitate is much better to handle them than Registeel is.

Another option is to change Uxie for defensive Mew or Deoxys-D, but then again I find the team would be a lot too weak to Ghost and Dark attacks. So if you do this you should probably change Xatu for a Rapid Spinner, like Hitmontop. That wouldn't make you less weak against Mismagius and ghost stuff but at least you would have an additional answer to Dark attackers like Sharpedo or Weavile

Hope that I helped, good luck ! And sorry for my english

Even with Cobalion, your team has a huge weakness to ghost and dark. Also, take Return off of Azumarill and add Ice Punch. Other than that, just expand your descriptions. They're a little on the skimpy side and you wouldn't want this locked.

 

[Delko]

Red M is right, increase your descriptions a bit please, otherwise I'll have to lock this thread.

24 hours have past; PM me your descriptions and I'll unlock this.
