Instead of insulting them, either give them constructive criticism or shut up, no offense. No reason to stoop to that level.

Haha, yeah, you're right. Just annoys me when people blatantly spit on the competitive community like that by recommending people ignore "competitive guidelines". Anyways, the only thing I can recommend right now is Flame Charge > Flash Cannon on Heatran. There's literally nothing Flash Cannon hits that Earth Power or Magma Storm doesn't, and Flame Charge lets you boost his only really poor stat. Also, I'd recommend Fire Blast > Magma Storm, unless you're using it as a trapper. And, for God's sakes, put an Air Balloon on that thing. Sitrus Berry is pretty useless competitively. Full rate tomorrow.

Divine may have been harsh in the way he put it, but he is right generally speaking. If you're not going to post a team on par with the competitive standards then either be open to suggestions and criticism or don't post at all but don't act hardheaded and just not use one thing or the other and vice-versa because "you don't want to". Just as a rated that makes me just not want to rate a team let alone give some help to it. If you don't care about Competitive or whatever, then we shouldn't really care to help. loco is trying to help with the team giving valid reasons behind the suggestions but just a simple whatever or no out of ignorance is annoying.

Yes, I know, bit of a slap to the competitive scene but whats said has been said and the only thing I knocked OP for was being a little hard-headed.

This team is generally for battling with friends, but I am also using it for Random Matchup. I kinda wanted my team to have a wall, but I am generally offensive, so any help with that would be appreciated. I am thinking about maybe Porygon2, Blissey, or Defensive Gardevoir. I would be willing too replace, but I need a Moveset, EV's, Nature and all that. I don't really care about IV's, so that itsnt necessary! All help appreciated! Also, I really don't care about tiers, they are just numbers.

After reading a little bit of rates, I'd just like to point out what the OP says. in Random Matchups, there isn't a tier, so I personally feel that this should be rated like a competitive GBU team (which is still a competitive battling enviorment, btw). ^_^ (I may be completely misinterpreting some of the comments, though)

Anyway, before I head into a rate, do you use this in singles GBU battles or doubles?

So, I need a mixed set for Heatran because I saved after getting one and it was Jolly. Now his Sp.Att/Att are pretty even. And sorry for noob question, but what is GBU?

What is GBU?

GBU stands for Global Battle Union. You can do Wi-Fi matches and have the results recorded on your Pokémon Global Link profile if you finish a match with "Rating" chosen in the game.

MixTran is not something I would recommend. If you have to use MixTran, you're probably better sticking with a different Fire-type. Infernape's what I'd recommend
