Yet Another RMT!!

[alaxam]

This team did pretty well on Shoddy, I won maybe 2/3 of my battles. That was before I added Vaporeon and Weavile. New Pokemon need new strategies, so that's why I'm asking for ratings. Things in bold print are what I need help with the most.

My format is:
Pokemon @ Item
Nature
Ability
HP EVs/Atk Evs/Def EVs/SAtk EVs/SDef EVs/Spd EVs
~Move
~Move
~Move
~Move​

The Team:

Metagross @ Life Orb
Adamant
Clear Body
4/252/0/0/0/252
~Bullet Punch
~Earthquake
~Explosion
~Meteor Mash

This guy is a beast. He will take out at least one pokemon with Explosion, and likely two with STABed Life Orbed Meteor Mash. Bullet Punch if their lead outspeeds me.


Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Bold
Water Absorb
188/0/252/0/68/0
~Ice Beam
~Protect
~Surf
~Wish

I think those EVs came from one of Smogon's sets, but I'm not sure. I mainly want Vaporeon to be able to take as much damage as possible and set up wishes for others. I also need help on his damaging attacks. Protect if he needs to heal himself.


Weavile @ Choice Band
Jolly
Pressure
4/252/0/0/0/252
~Aerial Ace
~Brick Break
~Ice Punch
~Pursuit

My revenge killer. Pretty standard, but I don't really like the Choice Band. I'd rather be able to switch attacks. AA for Heracross, Pursuit for weak ghosts and psychics.


Azelf @ Expert Belt
Timid
Levitate
4/0/0/252/0/252
~Flamethrower
~HP: Fighting
~Psychic
~Nasty Plot

Here's definitely my favorite pokemon of the team. Expert Belt nets it too many KOs to count. If I can get off two/three NPs, this thing is unstoppable.


Togekiss @ Petaya Berry
Modest
Serene Grace
4/0/0/252/0/252
~Air Slash
~Roost
~Substitute
~Thunder Wave

Send this out on slow pokemon and watch the slaughter. Between TWave and Serene Graced Air Slash, many pokemon have been flinched, flinched, fully paralyzed, flinched, KOed. I almost never use Substitute though, I need a replacement. Also, she usually dies before Petaya Berry activates, I'm thinking maybe change it to Lum Berry.


Registeel @ ??? (used to be Leftovers)
Clear Body
Relaxed
252/126/0/0/132/0
~Curse
~Earthquake
~Explosion
~Ice Punch

Registeel is pretty good, but I want to replace him. The reason he's in here in the first place is because he's the best pokemon I've found to take physical as well as special attacks.




Thanks for reading.

So am I to assume that this team is perfect? Come on guys if I didn't need help I wouldn't be asking. I've thought of another area in which I need help: Electric type attacks. So any ways to integrate those would be great.

Please post!

Well it seems to me that you have problems with SDchomp, SDLuke and more after they get in a set up move. It also has problems with Mamoswine and Tyranitar. Its not a bad team at all, but if something gets a set up then you have to sacrifice too much to have a chance to stop it. First off use Bronzong (standard set) over Registeel. It handles Mamoswine and most Tyranitar easily. It can also switch into Garchomp okay. With Wish from Vaporeon it will be able to heal its health so lack of recovery isn't too much of a problem.

On Togekiss sweeping with 1 attack is not a very good idea. You have Azelf for you main late game set up sweeper so I would replace Togekiss all together. Gliscor is a good idea since it stops Lucario and helps against Garchomp and Tyranitar. Your team did also lack Stealth Rocks which it will help set up.

Choice Banded Weavile is fine but Aerial Ace is a bad move. It only hits Heracross, but with Gliscor Heracross is not a problem as all. Use Night Slash or Ice Shard instead, its up to you but make sure you get rid of Aerial Ace.

Your Ev and nature on Vaporeon is fine. HP Electric over Ice Beam would be better however. I think that you have enough Dragon coverage already and Gyarados is a bigger threat to your team at this point.

Thanks Tsurukawa!

I don't have time right now, but I'll change it up later.
