I need help for my team

A

aipomkong

prophecy fulfilled
dragon dance / earthquake / aerial ace / rock slide @ lum berry

aerial ace / earthquake / rock slide / brick break or fire blast @ choice band

dragon claw / hydro pump / fire blast / crunch @ leftovers

the first set is the best tbh. Use an adamant nature for the first two, and Modest for the special moveset

So, you want a sweeper do you?

Absol - Adamant - Lum Berry
-Aerial Ace
-Swords Dance
-Shadow Ball
-Slash

Absol - Docile - Focus Band/Lum Berry
-Aerial Ace
-Swords Dance
-Shadow Ball
-Flamethrower

The second set is more versatile, being able to take out Steel types. But if you want to use a mixed sweeper Salamence:

Salamence - Serious - Lum Berry
-Aerial Ace
-Flamethrower/Hydro Pump
-DC
-Body Slam

Mixed Sweeper Salamence seems very versatile, but I would probably use a nature that would lower either defense and increase the speed so Salamence can strike first.

I'd go with Flamethrower over Hydro Pump because of Steel types and Salamence breathing fire is like..... well natural.

However I never thought about using Body Slam.

Maybe Bodyslam/Return?

I put Body Slam there because of the 30% chance of Paralysis. But yeah, Return is more powerful. I think you should consider Absol - it only has one major weakness, which is Fighting. And its Atk power is pretty much equal to that of Salamence.

Well, it's up to you. As for Salamence, you only need FT for Steel types, as AA (STABed) is just as powerful/effective as FT at taking out Grass types. And if this is for competitive play, the opponent might not be expecting a Hydro Pump from a Salamence. Well, it's just a matter of preference.

Im not 100% sure about that set above but it could work...Go with Dragonite if you want mixed.

The problem with that is, DD is only boosting the power of AA/Rock Slide. And I think that Leftovers could serve some pokemon other than Salamence better.

Well yeah But you mite wana boost you a little to kill something (Special walls). If your using salamance use CB or DDing Special one is crap (IMO).

Ok I think I will just chop it down to I don't like DD all that much.

Seriously should I max out with Special Attack

Sure, if you want to. But I'm not sure if you should have a mixed sweeper, special, or physical. Could you maybe post the rest of your team, so it's easier to determine what type of sweeper would suit you?

Ok. So you've got mostly special sweepers. Then you should go with a physical Salamence:

Salamence - Adamant - Choice Band
-Rock Slide
-AA
-Earthquake
-Return/Facade/Body Slam

Or, if I may say so, your team could do with a Wall like Aggron, Snorlax etc. Something with decent defence. Here's what I gave my Aggron, if you're interested:

Aggron - Careful - Leftovers
-Double-Edge
-Brick Break
-Thunder Wave
-Sandstorm
