Help Quick

Zangetsu

Arrancar
Well I put together the majority of a good team (IMO) but i need help deciding on a last pokemon

Infernape @ Life Orb
Blaze
Jolly [252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 Hp]
Blaze Kick
Close Combat
Thunder Punch
U-turn

Infernape is my scout. Life orb helps activate blaze faster, as well as give me an attack boost.

Lapras @ Leftovers
Water Absorb
Clam [164 Hp / 92 Def / 252 Sa]
Heal Bell (from XD)
Surf
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt

Lapras is a nice special tank. She is also my team's cleric. A pretty basic boltbeam set.

Electivire @ Experts Belt
Motor Drive
Jolly [252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 Hp]
Thunder Punch
Fire Punch (Chnages to EQ when I have 80Bp)
Ice Punch
Cross Chop

A basic electivire. With jolly + Spd Evs + a well timed thunderbolt he is absolutely uncatchable.

Gengar @ Wide Lens
Levitate
Modest [252 Sa / 252 Spd/ 4 Hp]
Focus Blast
Energy Ball
Thunderbolt
Shadow Ball

Gengar makes a very good sp sweeper. He has pretty good type coverage also.

Salamence @ Choice Specs
Intimidate
Modest [252 Sa / 252 Spd / 4 Hp]
Draco Meteor
Dragon Pulse
Hydro Pump
Flamethrower

Specmence needs no intro =]


Heres the problem i dont know what to put next

if i use a metagross ill have 3 weaknesses to ground atacks

if i use a Claydol ill have 2 of the same weaknesses as gengar
 
switching lapras for slowbro, and then adding blissy will help, but thats my opiniun. you NNNEEEEEEEDDD some walls.
 
Physical Ape should have Swords Dance and Stone Edge unless you want DDNite/ Specs Mence to laugh at it. Gengar wants Timid and Hidden Power [Ice]. Lapras works surprisingly well, but isnt a special wall. Id take that out for Blissey and you need a physical wall (Weezing, Gliscor, to stop Hera) Electivire wants an Adamant nature because Jolly has less attack, and as lnog as you've got 264 speed, nothing outside of Ninjask, Electrode, or scarfed pokes will touched you after a Motor Drive boost (but that doesnt mean you wont still get walled by Cress/ Weezing/ Spiritomb/ Dusknoir). Dont liusten to Tyranitar103, because if you add Slowbro, then ScarfHera will eat your team for breakfast.
 
opps, sorry.. but he still needs walls. badly.
 
Having three Pokemon weak to the same thing isn't a problem if you aren't incompetant and are able to predict these earthquakes and switch to your ground immunities.
 
6th poke needs to be able to stop Heracross and Electivire since it does get alot of electric attacks here for Motor Drive and can sweep rather easily

Gliscor seems to fit the bill, but you'll have 2 quad ice weaks and no reliable resists, since Lapras cant restore its HP...

Weezing or Dusknoir, to an extent, can help
Go with Dusknoir thouhh, since it can also stop Gyra, Azelf and Alakazam which can also sweep this team rather easily

Dusknoir @ Leftovers
- W-o-W
- Pain Split
- T-Punch
- Shadow Sneak

T- Punch for Gyra, Shadow Sneak for Azelf, im at a complete loss on nature and EVs though......


- Ape needs SD > U-Turn, or Choice Band at least

- Gengar could go w/ Hypnosis somewhere in there OR Life Orb/Choice Specs with your current Moveset

pretty mediokre rate i know...

im pretty sure that Noir needs something like 24 Attack EVs to insure a 2HKO on non life orb Azelf, but most are life orb nowadays. im pretty sure the EV spread is 252 HP/ 200 SpD/ 56Def with a Careful nature
