Rate Ruby Team

Deathborn_606

Power of the mind
Okay I have done everything up to beating the Pokemon Leaque. So how well do you think my team is.

CRADILY
Level 40
HOLD ITEM: LAX INCENSE
ATTACKS
Toxic
confuse ray
Giga Drain
Sludge bomb

He's my annoyer. Toxic lowers my opponent's points. Confuse ray screws them up farther. Giga draing does decent damage and heals me and Sludge bomb is there just for power.

ALTARIA
Level 42
HOLD ITEM: King's rock
ATTACKS
Dragonbreath
Fly
Attract
Haze

Dragonbreath for STAB. Fly I use for more power and in case they got something good coming. Attract wrecks males and haze I use to cure stat downs.

GARDEVOIR
Level 42
HOLD ITEM: Sitrus Berry
ATTACKS
Psychic
Calm mind
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt

Special sweeper 1. Calm mind I use to raise the power of psychic and thunderbolt which I use for good damage. Shadow ball is just there for ghosts.

CLAYDOL
Level 41
HOLD ITEM: Leftovers
ATTACKS
Mud-slap
psychic
anicentpower
selfdesrucet

A powerful tank. Mud-slap to lower accuracy and psychic for STAB. Ancientpower is there to raise stats and selfdesturct I use when all seems lost.

Golduck
Level 44
HOLD ITEM: Mystic Water
ATTACKS
Surf
calm mind
Ice Beam
confusion

My other special sweeper. Calm mind raises it's specials while surf is there for STAB. Ice beam is for grass and dragons and I use confusion to wipe out poison.

BLAZIKEN
Level 42
HOLD ITEM: Charcoal
ATTACKS
Blaze Kick
Bulk up
Brick Break
Ember

This is my physical sweeper and my final member. Blaze kick is there for STAB while brick break slams into rock and water/ice types. Bulk up raises my physical stats and ember is for when they're too weak for Blaze Kick.

Well there's my RUBY TEAM. Rate this team and tell me if there's anything I need to fix.

You need too fix quite a bit actually. But I won't really go into it...

Blaziken with Ember = :(
Claydol with Mud Slap = :(
Gardy with Shadow Ball = ... ...

...

*falls over into violent spasms*

...

*cough*

Gardy used Shadow Ball!
Ghost pogey took .00000000000000000001 damage!
Ghost pogey loled to death!

Shadow Ball is physical, so Gardy with *insert any physical move* = :(
 
To sum it up:

Annoyers just don't work at all.

The only thing King's Rock is going to effect is Fly, because it only works with things that don't already have added effects. Haze IS an effect, Dragonbreath paralyzes, and Attract is also an effect. To put it bluntly, ditch the King's Rock for something USEFUL. Flamethrower>Dragonbreath, because it'll hit more things Super Effectively, and you also have a Burn chance.

If you haven't beaten the E4, then you won't be able to get Gardevoir Ice Punch. But you shouldn't have Shadow Ball on it at any point in the game. I don't know what to suggest in place of Ice Punch, really....Magical Leaf for now, if you can.

Earthquake will do so much more damage than Mud Slap ever will. The same is true for Explosion>Selfdestruct. Psychic's a poor attacking Type because it only has two SEs. Ice Beam instead. Rapid Spin is Standard on Caldyol, but you don't need it ever InGame, so I guess Ancientpower works.

Surf's STAB and already high Base Power will do more to Poison Types than Confusion will, so ditch it.

Don't waste Blaziken's amazing Offense Stats for the sake of catching a random Pokémon the grass. Use False Swipe Farfeth'd/Parasect/something instead. Blaziken doesn't have the worst Defenses ever, but it's still not going to live through much. It's best to get in and destroy before you are destroyed. Swords Dance is good, but Earthquake and Rock Slide are acceptable options as well. Sky Uppercut will do more damage than Brick Break, and Blaze Kick isn't as powerful or accurate as Flamethrower. If you want more power, though, since Blaziken only uses one Special Attack, Fire Blast or Overheat work.

Power of the mind
Okay I tooken your advice and made some changes.

CRADILY
{SAME}

Gardevoir
Psychic
Calm mind
Thunderbolt
Double team

I swapped shadow ball for double team to lower chances of being hit by some very powerful physical move.

CLAYDOL
Earthquake
Ancientpower
Psychic
Selfdesturct

My Claydol isn't high enough yet to learn explosion so I've changed the moveset.
EARTHQUAKE>MUD-SLAP
PSYCHIC>PSYBEAM

GOLDUCK
I have no idea on what else to give it?

ALTARIA {Shell bell}
AERIAL ACE> FLY

BLAZIKEN
I gave it ember so that in case a opponent has ver ylittle HP why hit it with something powerful rather than another weak move.

So I've done my changes. What do you think.
