My new team.

[SlimShady]

I made my new team in a way that I have 3 special sweepers and 3 physical sweepers; all non-legendaries:
Porygon-Z
Ability:Modest
Item: Scope Lens
Ability:Adaptability
EV spread:
252 Sp att
252 speed
4 HP
Attacks:
Tri attack
ice beam
dark pulse
recover
Comments:
I don't care what people say, I like having recover on Porygon-Z. I also had signal beam instead of dark pulse, but I'd rather beat ghost types with dp and tri attack dark types to death. Because, if I have sb, I'll be good against dark types, but I'd be forced to use ice beam against ghosts.

Alakazam
Nature:Modest
Item: Wde Lens?
Ability:Synchronize
EV spread:
252 Sp att
252 speed
4 HP
Attacks:
Shadow ball
psychic
focus blast
recover
Comments:
I should've made him timid... As I said before for P-Z, I like recover. Also, I don't like the inaccuracy of focus blast, but it seems to be better than having energy ball.

Milotic
Nature:Modest
Item: ?
Ability:Marvel Scale
EV spread:
252 Sp att
252 speed
4 HP
Attacks:
Hypnosis
ice beam
Surf
recover
Comments:
I decided for Hypnosis over Mirror Coat, but maybe I should have dragon pulse instead?

Rhypherior
Nature:Careful
Item: WideLens/Choice band
Ability:Solid Rock
EV spread:
252 Sp def
252 hp
4 att
Attacks:
Rock wrecker
earthquake
avalanche
megahorn
Comments:
Either Rhypherior is my choice bander, or Metagross will be. I trained both for it. I wanted max hp and sp def combined with solid rock for the ultimate endruance pokemon.

Salamence
Nature:Jolly
Item: ?
Ability:Intimidate
EV spread:
252 att
252 speed
4 HP
Attacks:
earthquake
crunch
fly
zen headbutt
Comments:
I had a choice to either make him a sp sweeper, phys sweeper, or combo. So, I went with speedy phys sweeper. But, I wonder if I should also get roost. Hmm...

Metagross
Nature:Adamant
Item: Choice Band
Ability:Clear body
EV spread:
252 HP
252 Att
4 Sp def
Attacks:
Meteor Mash
Zen Headbutt
Earthquake
Thunderpunch
Comments:
The ultimate choice bander! I trained him with attacking/endruing capabilities.

So, any comments? Help? Or criticism? Come at me. Also, I need help in the items department.

You can like it all you want, but the fact that Recover sucks on PorygonZ will never change.

Nasty Plot or Agility over it

Alakazam
Nature:Modest
Item: Wde Lens?
Ability:Synchronize
EV spread:
252 Sp att
252 speed
4 HP
Attacks:
Shadow ball
psychic
focus blast
recover

Again another wasted moveslot with Recover. The only way Recover Alakazam works is if you use Encore/Psychic/Recover/Calm Mind

Energy Ball or HP Fighting over Recover and use Choice Specs

Milotic
Nature:Modest
Item: ?
Ability:Marvel Scale
EV spread:
252 Sp att
252 speed
4 HP
Attacks:
Hypnosis
ice beam
Surf
recover

Milotic is not a special sweeper. It should not have a Modest nature or 252 spd / satk evs.

Bold - 252 HP / 232 Def / Rest in SAtk

Rhypherior
Nature:Careful
Item: WideLens/Choice band
Ability:Solid Rock
EV spread:
252 Sp def
252 hp
4 att
Attacks:
Rock wrecker
earthquake
avalanche
megahorn

Awful EVs and nature.

Using Adamant is vastly superior due to the fact you gain more points from using Adamant then you do using Careful due to the huge difference in base stats.

Adamant - 252 hp / 252 Def / 6 Atk

Rock Wrecker is awful. Hyper Beam-esque moves should never be used seriously. Stone Edge over it.

Salamence
Nature:Jolly
Item: ?
Ability:Intimidate
EV spread:
252 att
252 speed
4 HP
Attacks:
earthquake
crunch
fly
zen headbutt

Fly is awful.
Zen Headbutt is awful
Crunch is awful on Salamence.
Jolly is awful on Salamence

You could have at least used it's Dragon STAB.

Dragon Dance / Earthquake / Fire Blast / Dragon Claw

Adamant - 252 Atk / 136 Spd / Rest in HP

Metagross
Nature:Adamant
Item: Choice Band
Ability:Clear body
EV spread:
252 HP
252 Att
4 Sp def
Attacks:
Meteor Mash
Zen Headbutt
Earthquake
Thunderpunch

Explosion over Zen Headbutt

252 HP / 252 Def / 6 Atk

So, any comments? Help? Or criticism? Come at me. Also, I need help in the items department.

I didn't bother rating it as a team as it's pointless. You will lose to any sweeper. You can't switch into anything well as you have no defencive pokemon at all, and your attackers atm are not even great at attacking. Recover Alakazam dies to everything in 1-2 hits, trying to Recover with it is just wasting your time as you are going to lose.

Basically

- You have no walls and are easily swept
- Your sweepers are easily walled, you have no form of mixed sweepers
- You are trying to make two very frail Pokemon be able to use Recover when they get OHKO'd by pretty much everything.

PorygonZ:Something has to be able to take a hit in order to use recover, the same goes for Alakazam. Nasty Plot is generally a better move imo. Scope lens is considered a "hax" item so you may want to use Focus Sash or Wise Glasses.

Alakazam:CM>Recover. You could also consider Energy Ball or Hidden Power(Ice/Fire) instead. Items fine, though Life Orb is a good choice as well.

Miloticerhaps go bold or calm over modest. Give it leftovers. Use nooblet's ev's.

Rhyperior:Investing SDef Ev's on him without TTar or Hippowdon on your team is a bad idea. Make them attack instead. Drop Rock Wrecker For Stone Edge or Rock Slide. If he's not a CB'er, give him leftovers.

Salamence:Give him life orb, and make his set Dragon Dance, Earthquake, Dragon Claw, and Fire Blast.

Metagross: Drop Zen Headbutt for Explosion.

O.K. thanks a lot guys. Your comments are appreciated.

 

[Hitsugaya]

You could give Milotic Burn Orb to activate Marvel Scale.

Since Recover is being replaced, then this team has no exploitable weaknesses.

 

[Zan1986]

for metagross drop Zen Headbut for either Agility or Explotion.

 

[aipomkong]

You could give Milotic Burn Orb to activate Marvel Scale.

Doing this means you lose more HP per turn then using Leftovers and not having M-Scale activated.
