I realize there are more than 6 pokés. That is because the league allows me to choose from a pool of pokémon.

Single Battle Team (making a double battle later)

Shuckle @ Leftovers
Nature: Impish
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252hp/96def/160spef

Rest
Toxic
Knock Off
Stealth Rock

I was thinking opening with him to Stealth rock then Knock off any choice gear.

Venemoth @ Leftovers
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252spatk/252spd/4def

Sleep Powder
Substitute
Hidden Power Fire
Baton Pass

Forretress @ Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252hp/96def/162spdef

Spikes
Earthquake
Light Screen
Rapid Spin

Heracross @ Choice Band
Nature:Adamant
Trait: Guts
EVs: 104 hp/252atk/152spd

Megahorn
Close Combat
Stone Edge
Sleep Talk


Ninjask @ ???
Nature: Jolly
EVs 176hp/252atk/80spd

Substitute
U-turn
X-scissor / Night Slash
Aerial Ace

Is this Ninjask OK to use? I've never seen it, but it seems like it could work... I have the X-scissor or Night Slash since I have U-turn already...

Scizor @ Leftovers
Nature: ????
Trait: Swarm
EVs: ???

Baton Pass
Substitute
Roost
X-scissor

Yanmega
move 1: Protect
move 2: Hidden Power Ice / Hidden Power Ground
move 3: Bug Buzz
move 4: Air Slash
item: Expert Belt / Wise Glasses
ability: Speed Boost
nature: Modest
evs: 6 Def / 252 Spd / 252 SpAtk

I really like this set. Enough said =P

Shuckle: That is CHESTO BERRY. go here, it's berry 02. Shuckle has no use for sleep talk if he has to wake up. go with protect > Sleep Talk. And he has 10 base attack. Safeguard.
 
Stick with Yanmega, Ninjask, and Heracross, as those are the good bugs in that list. Then choose from Forretress, Vespiquen, Scizor, Shuckle, or Armaldo.
 
Put Focus Sash on Ninjask, while scrapping Silver Wind for X-scissor. EV's, Ninjask doesn't need any. put them all in HP, Def and Sp. Def.
 
X-scissor is better on Ninjask. It's more powerful, and sometimes gets a critical hit. also, ninjask's att stat is better than sp att (or is silver wind physical?)
 
Silver Wind is special, so don't use it. EVs for Ninjask, don't put them into Def or Spdef, the thing can't take a hit. Instead, put them to good use in this fashion; 252 HP/ 176 Att/ 80 Spd; and stick to Jolly.
 
Vespiquen, Vespiquen, Vespiquen, Vespiquen....

Vespiquen@Leftovers
Impish 252 def / 6 spd / 252 hp
-Toxic
-Roost
-Attack Order
-Defend Order

You might say that heal order an roost do the same thing but heal order is better because you learn it through level up but roost is better since once you use it that turn your no more a flying type toxic then defend order then roost before they switch into somthing with an electric / rock / ice attack.

Silver wind has a chance of upping all stats (like ancient power)

Ninjask doesn't need Spd EV's. He has the second highest, and it raises every turn.

Silver Wind WAS physical back in the R/S/E/LG/FR days, but then the 4th gen changes came, and a more powerful X-Scissor came along.

Please use comma's and periods next time, I can't read your post. Not many people want to waste a Roost TM. Still though, it IS better.
 
Needs Rapid Spin Forretress somewhere, since without it your bugs will get eaten alive by Stealth Rock abuse.
 
For once, I agree with Frost. And Scrap Counter on Fortress for Rapid Spin. Also, since you can't hit most Ghost types anyways, you COULD, this is only a suggestion, but you COULD Take Stealth Rock over EQ/Double Edge. It kills Fire types that eat your team. Mostly Charizard, who dodges Spikes.

Why did you need to read my post anyway? My post was too the thread owner did you want to read it an spot out a mistake just to quote it and try and make your self look smarter then me jeez >.> Not every one can me A+ at every thing and theres somthing called wifi and some happy people who will trade you a roost tm...and if you don't relise he needs it badly on that pokemon since many of his other pokemon get hurt by ice / electric / rock attacks..
 
- you need Yanmega no matter wat, otherwise ur team will be completely physical
- you need Rapid Spinning Foretress no matter wat for SR
- you need Heracross for awesome physical sweeping

then Ninjask and Scizor they work well togheter in this team, but then ull need a a sweeper set for him

last should be Armaldo for fire types

Venomoth seems kinda ehh and Vespiqueen has too many weaknesses even w/ roost, and i think u have to use roost 1st in a turn in order to lose ur weaknesses roost doesnt automatiacally take ur weakneses away forever either it only lasts 1 turn and then comes back next turn

Shuckle? not sure but its HP is wat kills him, Mothim? who suggested that?!?!?
 
Why does your scizor know baton pass but has no stat boosting moves? Scizor can be a very good baton passer to attack/defense pokemon because it can learn sword dance and iron defense. But if want a normal Scizor, you're much better off having scizor know u-turn than baton pass because u-turn can do some damage with Scizor and switches pokemon.
 
Substitute is passable via Baton Pass, genius.

And go learn some pokemon while you're at it.
