Firstly this is a NU team n i understand it will never beat most standard OU'd teams however that aside i would like it to be semi-competative against most teams so any suggestions on movesets and pokes (NU only) would be appreciated...

plus it should be interesting rating and fixing pokes that you dont see on a daily basis

one last point on ev's... as this is team is kinda a side project most ev spreads will be 252/252... but please point out situations where a different spread would be much better.... thanks

Magcargo is going to do a serious number on this team atm. You probably will need a Water move on Qwilfish to stop it. Most these movesets are also eh but it's 8:30am so.

you could pick much better NUs. I'd put reflect on illumise as well, removing raindance and replacing thunder for tbolt, or keeping thunderbold and dealing w/ inaccuracy. On Tropius you need sunny day to use solarbeam. Also you need aerial ace. I'd do bellossom instead

Bellossom@hot rock
Modest (+satk, -atk)
-Sunny Day
-Solarbeam
-Sleep powder
-Moonlight

i used it once, it actually was able to dominate Kyogre. You could also try a moveset with Leaf Storm.
and how about shuckle instead of Dustox, it'll last and annoy.
Shuckle@ lefties
Brave Nature (+atk, -spd)
-Double Team
-Rest
-EQ/ Stone Edge
-Toxic/ sandstorm
i'm not too sure about his moveset, but after a couple double teams and having hits already do barely any damage, this set will get annoying. Then when they're about to finally KO you, time to rest. Sandstorm could hit them every time taking away hp steadily, but id go with toxic incase you have to fight another wall. EQ hits more super effective, but stone edge gets STAB.

Raticate and Quilfish are also kinda lame for NUs, but it has to do with personal preference. I'm not too sure u wanna listen to me, just suggestions. Also not sure if bellosom and shuckle are NUs...

Don't lead with this. Bug Buzz/Wish/Charm/Light Screen, good supporter. Give it Leftovers and a Bold Nature.

Quilfish@Focus Band
Swift Swim
Impish
-Spikes
-Toxic Spikes
-Poison Jab
-Explosion

Poison Spikes aren't that great and Poison is a horrible attacking type. Run Waterfall/Thunder Wave/Spikes/Explosion and again give it Leftovers. Adamant Nature.

Diseased Rat
Raticate@Toxic Orb
Guts
Jolly
-Facade
-Roar
-U-Turn
-Sucker Punch

Ew no. Swords Dance / Double Edge / Crunch / Flame Wheel. Jolly Nature. Give it a Life Orb as this is the sweeper.

Flareon@Leftovers
Flash Fire
Adamant
-Sunny Day
-Fire Fang
-Quick Attack
-Wish

Wrong again. Fire Fang / Yawn / Substitute / Baton Pass. Force a switch with Yawn, Sub on the switch and Baton Pass the Sub to Raticate to try and get a Swords Dance up. Jolly Nature.

Tropius@leftovers
Chlorophyll
Sassy
-Synthesis
-Leech Seed
-Solarbeam
-Earthquake

Nah. Give it Choice Specs and scare the hell out of everything with Leaf Storm / Air Slash / Silver Wind / Grass Knot, Modest Nature.

Dustox@Bright Powder
Shield Dust
Calm
-Toxic
-Double Team
-Whirlwind
-Silver Wind

Annoyers fail in any tier. Kinda redundant on this team really, get a Normal/Fly resist in the form of Wormadam Steel and give it Flash Cannon/Metal Sound /Psychic/Stealth Rock, Careful Nature.

I'm still learning NU myself, but I hope this helped.
