XY ho team (help greatly appreciated)

david12008

As you saw this will be an xy ho team. it has topped off at rank 1400 for me on pokemon showdown -.-. without further ado lets begin.

Volcarona @ Focus Sash
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Fiery Dance
- Giga Drain
- Bug Buzz

Volcarona is normally my lead. the only time he is not my lead is when my oppenent has mega venusaur. mega venusaur can pretty much sweep through my team if allowed. if my opponent doesnt have a mega venusaur then i will use volcarona as an opener and put a dent in the enemies team after a quiver dance set up of course.

Charizard-Mega-X @ Charizardite X
Ability: Tough Claws
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Claw
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Flare blitz

This pokemon was mostly chosen because its one of my favorites... once u get a couple dragon dances in u r pretty much set. charizard is mainly for an opening sweeper if there is a mega venusaur on the other team and so my volcarona needs 2 stay alive.

Deoxys-Defense @ Red Card
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 88 HP / 168 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Counter
- Recover
- power up punch
- Return

this guy is just torture 4 a huge attacker. hes here if something like conkeldurr or someone comes out. you just use counter or power up punch depending on which is better and if done correctly u can put a nice hole in there pokemon. counter+red card= get rid of there current pokemons stat boost and then knock out whichever pokemon comes out.

Garchomp @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Iron Head

garchomp is my latios/latias killer. he can be great for just outrage sweeps or if fairys come out he opens up with iron head. garchomp can take a hit from a couple things but i wouldnt purposely switch him in unless you have 2 or you know its safe. the scarf is so he outspeeds greninja who can really hurt my team.

Electivire @ Life Orb
Ability: Motor Drive
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Cross Chop
- Earthquake
- Wild Charge
- Ice Punch

This guy here is a huge sweeper if u get him 2 live long enough. he can kill skarmory fairly easy with wild charge and skarmory walls most of my team so tht is helpful. he can also kill gliscor with ice punch. most of the time i try 2 switch my charizard in on an electric type as a "revenge killer" then switch 2 this beast for motor drive and have the speed to sweep. cross chop is for annoying steel and dark pokemon and earthquake helps it take out its fellow electric users or again steel.

Latios (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Surf

latios is great with psyshock he can take out pokemon with large special defense stats. hidden power fire allows him to take out ferrothorn and all in all this makes for a great set. thankyou jayfeather69 for the build

thankyou for reading and i hope you rate and help me make this into a better team :D

Just as a note, it's impossible to understand you first of all with all your "Txt Tlk." Also, you made so many mistakes with your pokemon.

1- Latios.
As one of my sponsors, its almost disappointing your set. MODEST NATURE? I would get that if it was scarfed, but this thing isn't. Also, Latios isn't that good with Calm Mind. If you want CM, get a Latias. Third of all, Dragon Breath isn't very good on a latios (OR ANYTHING FOR THAT MATTER) because it has such a low power, it's nearly worthless and a waste of a Latios. Lastly, This set is WALLED LIKE HELL by pokemon like Ferrothorn. If you want Latios, use this set-
Latios (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Surf
If you want to keep the CM and go for the Latias, use this set-
Latias (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 48 SAtk / 208 HP
Timid Nature
- Dragon Pulse
- Psyshock
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Calm Mind


2- DAT VOLCORONA!
In your extremely hard to read description, you state that your Volcorona is your Mega-Vena counter. NO. Mega-Vena walls it for days. It has thick fat- don't forget. Also, if its a sash QDancer, I would reccomend Modest for a big power boost, and HP Ice is also a Plausible choice over Giga Drain.


3- Dat Charizard
I agree with you- Charizard Mega X is one of the best sweepers in the Meta. But you made some bad decisions, like giving it Fire Punch. WHO GIVES IT FIRE PUNCH!!! Fire punch is a pitiful replacement for Flare Blitz, and you replace it now young man.

4- Dat Deoxys, Yo...
Deoxys-D is a great wall. Not the best, but good. What you don't do is give it Drain Punch. The only good move relying on its attack that you should EVER use is power-up punch. Please. Kill Me Now.
 
What is grammar. This team honestly, is really bad. The first thing you can do is use Dragon Pulse over Dragonbreath (PLEASE DO THAT) and change that Deoxys defense set.

Deoxys-D
252 HP 248 Def 8 Spe
Item: Mental Herb

-Stealth Rock
-Spikes
-Magic Coat
-Seismic Toss

Having a Deoxys-D not have any hazards or support moves ruins the point. This is a decent set it can run to at least be useful.

Latios

252 Spe 252 SpA 4 HP
Item: Choice Specs
Nature: Timid

-Psyshock
-Draco Meteor
-Hidden Power (Fire)/Trick
-Surf

This is the best set Latios can run. Specs SKYROCKETS it's special attack and does tons of damage to anything that doesn't resist all of its moves.
 
srry guys this was my 1st rmt and im not the best team builder. and volcaronas bug buzz is for mega venusaur not fierydance
