Hi guys I'm new on smogon and new at competitive pokemon battles. This is the first team I'm building and I'm counting on your advices to get better at it.
I'm playing on pokemon white version by the way.
So here is 5 pokemon I was planning to play, i don't know if they really fit well together and I'd like your comments. I'd also like to find a 6th pokemon to add to that team, it may be a good idea for me to find a leader because I don't know wich poke I'm gonna send first.
Scrafty@leftover
Careful
Shedskin
EVs: 252HP, 252Spd, 4Def
-Bulk Up
-Rest
-Drain Punch
-Crunch
I really like that one it's one of my favourites in 5th gen and he's hard to kill when bulked up at his maximum.
Ferrothorn@Rocky Helmet
Relaxed
Iron Bards
EVs: 252HP, 88Def, 168Spd
-Stealth Rock
-Leech Seed
-Gyro Ball
-PowerWhip
Ferro is my tank and stealth rock/leech seeder. He's there to support my team and attack the best he can with gyro ball and power whip. His two weakness are fight and fire. Types that Jellicent resist very well so I'll switch to Jellicent when that time comes ---->
Jellicent@Leftover
Bold
Cursed Body
EVs: 248HP, 216Def, 44 Speed
-Surf
-Will-O-Wisp
-Recover
-Taunt
The Ferrothorn's BFF, again he's there to counter Ferro's weakness and burning threats. Taunt is for trying to force to switch or break the opponent set up. Recover for viability and surf to attack when needed or taunted. Also use him as a Spinblocker.
Infernape@Life Orb
Hasty
Blaze
EVs: 252Atk, 4SpAtk, 252 Speed
-Overheat
-Close Combat
-Mach Punch
-U-turn
This is my mixed attacker to take out strong ennemies like Steel type pokemon. Mach punch is used when facing a faster opponent. U-turn is only to switch out and hit at the same time.
Starmie@Life Orb
Timid
Natural Cure
EVs: 4HP, 252SpA, 252Speed
-RapidSpin
-Recover
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
Starmie is my spinner to counter stealth rock, spikes etc. I'm not sure about its movepool maybe I'd like but put surf somewhere but my Jellicent already has surf. What do you think about it?
Should I give up one move to that one and add surf to its movepool??
So that's it. Its the first team that came to my mind and that I'd like to play but I'm planning on making more team in the OU and UU tiers. Please help me find a 6th poke that could be my lead or tell my if I sgould change a pokemon for an other.
I Appreciate your help
(Edit)
So thundur told me I MUST have 6 pokemon to be RMT so I'll just add one I like play with here it is
Galvantula@Life Orb
Timid
Coumpoundeyes
EVs: 252Spa, 252speed, 4HP
-Thunder
-VoltSwitch
-Bug Buzz
-Energy Ball
Galvantula is a pokemon that I really like because of its ability Compound Eyes that makes me able to use thunder instead of thunderbolt. Its huge speed is very useful but that 'mon is pretty frail and cannot take hits. In that case I use Voltswitch and send starmie, jellicent or scrafty to eliminate threats.
