Fix my Team; I threw it together as I went =/ (OU)

Metagross @ Leftovers ** 4 Legged Freak
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 12 HP / 252 Atk / 16 Def / 92 Spd / 136 SAtk
Naughty Nature (+Atk, -SDef)
- Agility
- Earthquake
- Meteor Mash
- Thunderpunch

Crappy lead, IMO, but it scares away random things.

Claydol @ Leftovers ** Elderly Toy
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 236 HP / 128 Atk / 108 Def / 36 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Reflect
- Toxic

Spinner, though Spikes aren't that big of a problem anymore. Toxic screws over random Pokémon, Reflect helps my Pokémon set up, and Earthquake is just for the sake of hitting things.

Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers ** Skullkraken
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 84 HP / 252 Atk / 172 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Flying]
- Taunt

So I hear this deals with my Horn Weak nicely. EVs and MS are probably outdated, though.

Skarmory (M) @ Leftovers ** The Silver Swan
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 24 Atk / 212 Def / 20 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Hidden Power [Flying]
- Rest
- Spikes
- Whirlwind

PHazer, which is the only reason I have it. Good Normal resist.

Blissey (F) @ Leftovers ** Scrambled Eggz
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 212 HP / 252 Def / 44 SAtk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Aromatherapy
- Ice Beam
- Seismic Toss
- Softboiled

Status is a problem for me, which is why I bother with this thing. Still Walls lots of Special stuff.

Raikou @ Leftovers ** Cumulonimbus
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 124 HP / 220 Spd / 164 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt

Very helpful, outspeeds and KOs tons of things. Considering HP Grass, as my Team probably wouldn't handle a well-played Swampert too well.

Team synergy deficiency, IMO. The only Pokémon I designed to work with something else is Claydol. The rest are just here for random reasons and don't complement each other much, to my knowledge. So, tell me what's wrong, suggest replacements, fix my EVs, whatever.

decent team and i dont see how the hell you have a heracross weak ._.
 
Well, for Claydol I always like to have Eq and Ice beam as it is average against everything. The team is very good nevertheless.
 

Horn Drill

ヘタリア!
Flail on Gyarados is fun to use on random stuff when it's weak after a Dragon Dance. Replace Taunt with it as nothing is going to be using support moves when Gyarados is out except Skarm, and Gyarados wouldn't be able to do anything to Skarm anyway. =/

you're stupid flail does NOTHING and especially with leftovers. taunt helps you take out milotic, cursepert and other **** as well what a crappy suggestion

Egh, I dunno, I was following Golden Groudon's advice. And he's right, I think; without Gyarados, nothing here can OHKO Heracross. Skarmory can, but any good player can beat a Skarmory with a Heracross.

Meta: I dunno. Agiligross is an awesome late-game Sweeper, and my prediction sucks pretty badly ._. I'll give it a go, though, if you're adamant about it.

OK. Reflect only helps every once in a blue moon anyhow.

Knew the EVs were screwed on Gyara, thanks for that help.

Yeah. Not like anyone uses Mr. Mime anyhow, and why would you leave a Skarmory in against a Pokémon wielding Thunderbolt off a well above average Base Sp. Attack anyhow?

+1 for using Toxic. However, it is getting standard. And I'd like Ice Beam on this..uhh...maybe over Reflect because you have a Salamence weak. Skarm + Claydol + Gyara should cover enough for you

Adamant is better but whatever floats on your Luvdisc. I like 251 Spd (stat), 370 Atk and rest in HP, but you can sacrifice some speed for HP if you feel like going more defensive against Heracross

CBgross so you can hit stuff hard. Gyarados or Raikou will be your late-game sweep.

nice team.
 
There is not much I can criticize about this team, except perhaps, Claydol needs Ice beam.

lol. g80 is banned...AGAIN (not that it is a surprise or anything, but...)
 
CBclaydol is always an option.
 
So, after being totally destroyed by Alphatron, I decided my Team needs remodeling.

Metagross @ Leftovers ** 4 Legged Freak

EVs: 12 HP / 252 Atk / 16 Def / 92 Spd / 136 SAtk
Naughty Nature (+Atk, -SDef)
- Agility

Still like Agiligross. My prediction is horrendous, meaning I lack the capacity to use CBGross. If it would actually do better, though, I'll use it.

Claydol @ Leftovers ** Elderly Toy
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 236 HP / 96 Atk / 92 Def / 48 SAtk / 36 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)

Switched to IB, though I'm liking the idea of CBDol.

Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 20 HP / 252 Atk / 236 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Hidden Power [Flying]
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Flamethrower

Mence does everything Gyarados does and more, though bulky Waters could pose a problem now without Gyara. CBGross or CBMence, IMO, as Speedraising variants of both is redundant. I'm thinking CBGross and DDMence, but whatever would work better =/

Skarmory (M) @ Leftovers ** The Silver Swan
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 24 Atk / 212 Def / 20 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)

Swampert weak. So I used HP Grass now. Thunderbolt destroys Dragons anyhow, and HP Grass does as much to Ground Types as HP Ice would.

Eh I never did like thunderpunch on this. I just see it as a waste of EV's tbh. I mean skarmory is nowhere near as popular as it used to be D:

CBdol is even better with wish support D: And those EV's in special attack are a waste. Don't bother with them. Take them out and stick them in defence to help with physical threats better.

Go for CBmence imo. Or wishmence which is pretty class. For CBmence, go for max attack and max speed, adamant with HP bird, EQ, RS, FB/Flamethrower. However, if you wish to keep DDmence, you'll want more HP so it can last better. Also, the Speed EV's you used is just a waste tbh. Go for 116 Spd, 236 Atk, rest in HP for max lefties recovery iirc.
