Maybe you want a pokemon with sandstream, it would make the whole sandstorm thing much easier. Maybe Tyrannitar instead of Steelix? Tyr is much more usefull. Also, you can't put 252 and 200 in Atk with Steelix.

Bastiodon should have Toxic I think, since he's more of a wall.

btw, is this an UU team?

I'm not sure. I still don't understand this whole thing completely

 

[AnnoyingRedHead]

speaking from experience you can't put that many uu pokes in a ou team the uu pokes will get destroyed. and double team is forbiden in most places, including serebii, replace it with recover.

EDITED: Relicanth's moveset, Reiniculus' moveset, Bastiodon's moveset, replaced Steelix with Tyranitar

Why is reuniclus ADAMANT? Make it modest or something that ups def. And give it calm mind, psychic/psyshock, shadow ball and recover. Give it leftovers also. Those speed evs are worthles really, 252 SpAtk, 252 HP, 4 Def or something of that nature

...And give it calm mind, psychic/psyshock, shadow ball and recover....

I'm still keeping Energy Ball, to take care of water types.

Massive Fighting weakness, might want to try a defensive celebii or get a Gliscor

^ What are those? Sorry, I'm new at this.

Nevermind. Found out what they are. Will add soon. I can't edit posts this long on my iPhone. when I get my computer back, they will be added.

First of all, Tyranitar should never be Modest. Also, Relicanth is just not powerful enough to be on an OU team, and isn't really cut out for a wall. Smack Down is an aweful move, and can be replaced by Rock Slide or Stone Edge in just about any case.

Your team is so weak to fighting, grass, and ground that it is just too easy to take down. Any choice band pokemon could destroy your entire team with an unopposed Earthquake (or Brick Break if Reuniclus is gone).

 

[DarumakkaImposter]

You still dont need the attack evs. They are just a waste of evs. Make them special attack. For reuniclus.
