An odd team plz rate

Abciioo

Mysterious Shadow
My friend plays pokemon, and this is his battle tower team. It's a bit odd, but it works pretty well:

Mupkip(Gengar)@Choiceband
EVs:252Atk/252Sp/6Hp
Levitate
Modest

-Exlosion
-Destny Bond
-Thunderbolt
-Shadowball


A one-hit killer!You can drag out the kill with Destny Bond, kill them in one hit with Explosion, or, if you think you can do a big sweep, use Thunderbolt or Shadowball. (You'd HATE to fight this guy)

Sue(Salamance)@leftovers
EVs:126Def/126Spdef/252Hp/6Sp
Intimidate
Bold

-Toxic
-Wish*
-Roost
-Flamethrower


This Stallamance took quite a while for her to get. Wish helps to restore Hp, for him or another pokemon, and Roost helps restore Hp, too. Toxic does a lot of pain, and Flamethrower is for an attack move.

Quiz(Parasect)@focus sash
EVs:252Hp/252Atk/6Sp
DrySkin
Adamant

-X-Scissor
-Spore
-Pursuit
-Seed Bomb / Screech / Knock Off


Physical Pursuit gave Parasect a new weapon in the 4th generation. This set is scary to Psychic-types who are weak to both Pursuit and X-Scissor. HP EVs allow Parasect to take weaker hits and pose an immediate threat with both moves. Spore helps to ease prediction, and is vital on pretty much every Parasect set. Knock Off will remove the item of anything which comes in on Parasect, possibly crippling them. Sleeping a counter and removing its item are both viable strategies and allow Parasect to do something useful before fainting. When there are no Psychics to scare, Seed Bomb is another good STAB move for Parasect. On the other hand, Screech is a nice way to ease prediction, as nothing wants to face a base 80 STAB Attack with -2 Defense!**


Well, thats Shannon's team. I know what I think of it, but what do you?

No Present For You!
First of all, prediction is almost useless in the BT, well at least in the early stages, since the AI rarely switches out.

Onward:


Gengar(Timid)@Choice Specs
Levitate
EVs:4 HP, 252 SpA, 252 Spd
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast/Energy Ball
-Trick/Explosion
-Thunderbolt
Choice Band on Gengar with its only Physical move being Explosion, and then using an Atk lowering nature is not very smart, since Choice Specs can kill even more (Especially early) without fainting. He's fast enough for early rounds, later on you can switch to Modest/Choice Scarf

Salamance(Adamant)@Life Orb
Intimidate
EVs:252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Spd
-Roost
-Dragon Dance
-Dragon Claw
-Stone Edge/Earthquake/Fire Blast
Seeing as you look like you want a bulky Salamance, why not try to make a Bulky DDMence. Wish isn't much use since your team mates are frail.

Parasect(Adamant)@Leftovers
Dry Skin
EVs:252 HP,252 Atk,4 SpD
-Spore
-Sword Dance
-X-Scissors
-Seed Bomb
That set and description looks remarkingly similar to smogon's. Spore to make em sleep then Sword Dance up, but honeslty this thing is so slow those Atk Boost won't go very far as soon as a Farfetch'd pops up. And you don't need two moves to deal with Psychic types >.>. There are a lot better choices, and if you want I'd give one to ya.

Wayward Traveler
Ok then. Why Parasect?

Jumpluff @ Leftovers
Jolly Nature
Ability: Chlorophyl
-Toxic
-U-Turn
-Leech Seed
-Double Team

Just something I came up with. I didn't really mean anything about the Parasect thing. I just wanted to know why.

Oh, and here's something for later on in the BT, when prediction comes quite handy.

Gengar @ Focus Sash
Timid Nature
Ability: Levitate
-Counter
-Destony Bond
-Shadow Ball
-Hypnosis/Thunderbolt

Devastating.
