I want to enter the Wi Fi competitive fray soon, so please give a serious rating to my team and use specific reasoning. I tried to balance out using my personal preferences with some of the common metagame. EV's probably need considerable work. If this team has too many weaknesses, I have a list of guys I can swap out for as a bit of a guide but feel free to suggest others. (I'm not listing their move sets to avoid an extremely long thread.)
Gallade @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Steadfast
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 6 Hp
Ice Punch
Night Slash
Psycho Cut
Close Combat
Physical Sweeper, this moveset covers alot. The scarf outruns anything as high as 125 base speed with an adamant nature.
(This is my favorite at the moment, spent alot of time thinking it through. Feedback is appreciated but he probably wont get changed much.)
Leafeon @ Left Overs
Trait: Leaf Guard
Nature: Calm
EVs: 158 Hp / 100 Atk / 252 SDef
Leaf Blade
Roar / Swords Dance
Toxic / Baton Pass
Wish
A mixed supportive type, Leaf Blade may hit some things hard. Edit: Had a dancing passer suggestion, hesitant to switch though.
(Another favorite. Any help here is appreciated, especially EV's, I aimed for surviability.)
Porygon Z @ Choice Specs
Trait: Adaptability
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 6 Hp
Tri Attack
Shadow Ball
Icebeam
Hyperbeam
Choice Speccing Pory-Z. Tri Attack hits hard, SB and Icebeam to cover some others. Hyperbeam if granted a good oppurtunity / farewell present.
(Any feedback / advice here, first attempt using Pory. No attachment to him, so suggest replacements if needed.)
Houndoom @ Choice Specs / Life Orb
Trait: Flash Fire
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 6 Hp
Nasty Plot
Flamethrower
Dark Pulse
Will-o-Wisp
Edit: Decided to go with the suggested Nasty Plot / WoW. (Thanks aquasuicune)
(Again, I played favorites. I'd like feedback on rather the beamer or orb set should be used and just general help / suggestions)
Skarmory @ Left Overs
Trait: Keen Eye
Nature: Impish
EVs: 224: HP / 200 Def / 44 Atk / 42 SDef
Drill Peck
Spikes
Whirlwind
Roost
Straight forward Skarmory.
(I've probably screwed up the EVs, feel free to correct me.)
Kabutops @ Left Overs
Trait: Battle Armor
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 6 Hp
Rapid Spin
Stealth Rock
Stone Edge
Waterfall
I didn't want Spikes or Rocks to be a problem and choose this guy. Spins, sets up his own Rocks and has two moves for STAB should he have oppurtunities.
(I just stared at an EV calculator for him and couldn't come up with anything. So I just did a typical 252 / 252 / 6 set, help would be awesome, EV related or not.)
Alakazam
Lucario
Dragonite
Jolteon
Ninetales
Ambipom
Scyther/Scizor
Rampardos
Absol
Dusknoir
Alternate Spinners: Cloyster and Donphan, though I may raise a Starmie.
