So this is my first Competitive Battling Team. Please rate and comment so I can improve it.

Lead

Thundurus @ Electric Gem
Prankster
252 HP/252 SpA/6Spd
Modest Nature
-Volt Switch
-Dark Pulse
-Thunderbolt
-Thunder Wave

New lead. So Volt Switch whenever I need to switch out. Thunder Wave to Paralyze.
Special Murderer
609Chandelure.png


Chandelure @ Life Orb
Flash Fire
Timid Nature
252 SpA/252Spe/4HP
-Psychic
-Shadow Ball
-Flamethrower

Special Murderer! High Special Attack makes him able to OHKO. Psychic and Energy Ball are for Type Coverage, Flamethrower and Shadow Ball are his STAB attack.

Physical Sweeper

Gliscor @ Life Orb
Hyper Cutter
Adamant
218HP/252Atk/40Spd
-Swords Dance
-Earthquake

One of my faves. Ice Fang for type coverage, U - Turn if I need to switch out.

Revenge Killer
280px-461Weavile.png

Weavile @ Choice Band
Pressure
Jolly
252Atk/252Spe/4HP
-Night Slash
-Ice Share

Made by CROWN. Don't know how to explain it.

Special Sweeper

Hydreigion@Choice Scarf
Levitate
Modest Nature
252HP/252SpA/6Spe
-Dark Pulse
-Dragon Pulse/Draco Meteor

Special Sweeper. Nothing to say.

Wish Vaporeon
134Vaporeon.png

Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Water Absorb
252HP/252SpA/6Spe
-Wish
-Ice Beam
-Shadow Ball
-Surf

Not sure what to say for this. It just has Wish + Leftovers to heal itself.

So that is my new team! It evolved alot. Tell me if there are some other things I should fix on it.​

Not touching Swoobat. Unfamiliar to me.

Chandelure@Life Orb
Flash Fire
Timid
252SpA/252Spe/4HP
1: Psychic
2: Shadow Ball
3: Flamethrower
4: Energy Ball

This is better.

Go to Smogon for EV spread for Infernape. Outclassed by Speed Boost Blaziken.

Gliscor's set is standard and solid.

Weavile should be a revenge killer.

Weavile@Choice Band
Jolly
252Atk/252Spe/4HP
1: Night Slash
2: Ice Shard
3: Brick Break
4: Pursuit

Not commenting on Jirachi I need time to work out a better set for this team.

I don't know much about Swoobat either, but I would run something like this.

Swoobat @ Focus Sash
Unaware/simple
Modest/Timid (+Satk -Atk / +Spd -Atk)
252HP 252Satk 4Spd
-Air slash
-Psychic
-U turn
-Toxic/thunder wave

First of all, rash is not the nature I would recommend for this type of Swoobat..or any. He's fast and has some kind of SAtk, so use that to your advantage. Thus the Modest nature for SAtk or Timid for Spd. He doesn't have many defenses, so focus sash will keep him around much longer. With this set up I chose to keep the HP ev's because it was something you seemed to want. In my opinion I would use a totally different pokemon as a starter, but I digress. I prefer Thunder wave over Toxic as it'll help with your whole team, much more then just hurting it. Especially since your whole team is good at hurting anyway. Psychic and Air slash are for STAB and their abilities to debuff and flinch (respectively). U-turn is for getting outta dodge while doing minor annoying damage to possible sashers.

CROWN gave a wonderful Weavile and Chandelure. As for the other PKMN, I would have to do some more research on them. However, I won't touch Jirachi due to the fact that I'm bias against using legendaries. Just a preference of mine. However, you have quite a bit of PKMN that are weak against ground and rock and may want to switch someone out to balance that. Maybe with a bulky PKMN. Perhaps a Swampert, which several of your PKMN resist grass. Just an opinion. Interesting team and looking forward to seeing it grow.

Thank you for that CROWN. I'm breeding right now. I might switch out Infernape for something else because I already have my Chandelure. I also might switch out my Swoobat for a Gigalith so I can set up entry hazzards.

Thundarus should have Taunt as a lead, I would use it over Volt Switch, but then again this wi-fi metagame will probably only use hazards sparingly, but I'd say taunt is still very useful, just in case. Overall not a bad team, it makes me wish someone would rate the one I just made ahahah. Oh and Vaporeon would benefit greatly from Protect over Shadow Ball so Wish can be more effective!

Before you post RMT thread, have some actual words to say instead of one line descriptions that give raters no information. Raters are not mind readers, in order for them to give you a proper rate they need to understand your thinking. For each Pokemon on your team, you need to explain why you selected it, its role, and what it helps you achieve. This should be a few sentences, single words are not allowed. See Rule 7, Formatting, for examples.

And

What's not ok:

Inferape @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe
Nature: Naive
-Stealth Rocks
-Close Combat
-Fake Out
-Fire Blast

Standard lead, sets up rocks and breaks sash for my opponent.

Thread locked.
