This team?....Again?......¬¬
Chap, why you still insist on Swanna? Nearly every thing outclass him. Not to mention it's poor moveset...
I'm really tired to see this team made by you. It's the 2° time you made this team. So let us change a bit, huhn?
Did you ever used Politoed+Mixed 'Nite or Salamence?
Both of them works pretty well on BS. Try something new, even if this team is probably out of the ordinary, i doubt it can really go far. I don't think this team have perfect synergy, even tough they don't share weakness. I don't know, I'm just found this team strange :(
I might rate this team later, but don't expect awesomes rates...¬¬
EDIT: Okay!
Life Orb on Crustle instead of Leftovers. Shell Smash will. leave him vulnerable to any Neutral Damage, making him kinda fragile. So why bother with Leftovers? No need for she in there. So yeah, Change Leftovers with Life Orb.
It's the only thing i could notice right now.

If you think that Swanna is really bad, then I might try Politoed, but can you just give me some move set? I may also replace Swanna with Ludicolo. I may not use Life Orb on Crustle since it may use Sturdy after I use Shell Smash and it may immediately faint after using one move when it use Sturdy, so I may not use Life Orb. I may also use Galvantula instead of Simisear and a Ground or Steel Type Pokemon instead of Crustle.

I want to change Simisear to Arcanine since it has higher Attack and it has better move set. Can anybody suggest a good move set for Arcanine.

I'm no competive battler, but I think this is good:

059.gif

Attacks: Flare Blitz, Close Combat, Wild Charge, Extreme Speed OR Crunch
Ability: Flash Fire
Item: Life Orb
Nature: Jolly

Not much of a moveset change, but I think Crunch can offer some covrage. Flash Fire gives you a immuity to Fire-Types, but after looking at your team, Gaventula is the only one thats weak to it. I just looked it up, and it's Base Speed is 90. It's kinda good, but it's somewhere between avrage and good, I would say. I would give it a Jolly nature just incase. As for the item, I'm not sure. The Life Orb seems good for extra power.

I suggest replacing Swanna with Starmie. Swanna is **** but Ludicolo only fucntions pretty well in the rain.

Starmie is a faster Lead that hits harder and faster.

Starmie @Life Orb
] Timid l Natural Cure [
] 252 Sp.Atk. l 252 Speed l 4 HP [
• Scald / Surf
• Ice Beam
• Thunderbolt
• Recover

Quite standard. Timid and all the Speed EV's assure's you to outspeed everything , if not close. Life Orb is since Starmie is already frail as hell. Recover can help heal off the damage from LO.

Thanks for the suggestion Aura Sensai, I will try Starmie. It might be good if anyone can find a good Tailwind user.

^ Imo you won't really need a Tailwing user since Simisear and Starmie are quite fast. If you're worried about Speed slap a Choice Scarf on Stoutland.

Yeah, I think if I don't have a Tailwind user, then I should put Choice Scraf on Stoutland instead. Thanks for the suggestion, All changes were in Bold
