First Netbattle Team

.:Guilty Love
I'm really new to NB and competetive battling. This is a team I've made based on my own knowledge and experiences.

I know I'm using SkarmBliss and over OU Pokes. I just think that it'd be better if I started with them and then worked my way up.

I'd like to keep Zapdos, as it's one of my favourite Pokemon.

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 28 HP / 84 Def / 160 Spd / 208 SAtk / 28 SDef
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Thunderbolt
You do know that Jolly reduces zapdos's great special attack? Modest is the one you want. I like 342 special attack, max hp, and rest in hp. 270 speed is also a possibility, but redices hp and special attack. I think the BPdos goes well with metagross, you can pass to it while snorlax uses body slam or regice uses ice beam.
Metagross @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 155 HP / 252 Atk / 103 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Aerial Ace
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Shadow Ball
Aerial Ace and Shadow Ball are terrible. You don't even have meteor mash. >_> I'd put meteor mash and thunderpunch on it.
Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 253 Def / 5 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Aromatherapy
- Counter
- Seismic Toss
- Softboiled
Bold, snap on svs. The wishing set could be useful.
Salamence (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 221 HP / 252 Atk / 16 Def / 21 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Aerial Ace
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
- Rock Slide
Hidden Power flying and max attack, and either max speed or 271 speed.
Skarmory (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Keen Eye
EVs: 85 HP / 85 Atk / 85 Def / 85 Spd / 85 SAtk / 85 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Drill Peck
- Roar
- Spikes
- Toxic
Max hp, 400 defense, 200 attack, rest in speed. I like substitute or rest over toxic.
Starmie @ Lum Berry
Trait: Illuminate
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Psychic
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
Recover>Psychic. I like 300 special attack, 320 speed, rest in hp. Illuminate is worthless, natural cure is so much better, and use leftovers over lum berry since it has natural cure.

in the expert window of the team builder, click the little checkbox marked 'Snap' then you won't be wasting evs by using odd numbers in a stat.

also aerial ace on metagross is pointless

Super Effective AA = 120 power
STAB Meteor Mash - 150 Power + 10% chance of Atk up.

For the time being, I'd like to keep Drill Peck incase Skarmory is my last Pokemon or has been Mean Looked.

I'm also getting tired of the Blissey Skarmory combination. What should I take them out for? I was think Snorlax and something else?

If you decided to get rid of Skarmory I would recommend a more defensive metagross so that you had a reliable normal resistance. You could put Celebi over Skarm and then lax over Blissey if you wanted to. Celebi would also help out with your swampert weak.

enough for 336 hp / 380 defence and the rest of the evs in attack

Don't you mean speed?

Metagross @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 164 Atk / 88 Def / 4 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
Better spread IMO. Meta takes the same percentage of physical damage as if it was 336/380, but it also gives him a slightly better coverage in special defense. Also takes one more hit to fall to Seismic Toss.
EDIT: Added 4 Special Defense because that way a 342 SA Zapdos Thunderbolt is a 3HKO


**Also mentions that the NB damage calculator is not 100% accurate. I tested some stuff in game before going into this conclusion**
