It's clear that this team belongs in ingame RMT: the awful natures and lack of EVs should've made the point across.

Ignore above poster's sets, 252 / 128 / 128 EV spreads are possibly the worst spreads someone can come up with. If you really need a good EV guide Danbaru's EV guide in CRMT is significantly more in depth compared to the one on Serebii.

Thanks Keeper66, i know the natures are horrible but im realy not into breeding, i was leaning toward an electivire, and that set is what i already got (got 1 from PBR), ive seen serebiis ev guide but like i said i just never realy got the hang of it lol, btw is there any real weaknesses to my team, i think ive got most of them pretty well covered but ive got a feeling im missing a major one. btw Frost Nova this is a competitive team, ive tried it on a few of my mates teams that are ev trained, and this team does extremely well.

 

[keeper66]

I dont see any real weaknesses, meybe the lack of a special sweeper. Maybe we can replace rampardos with maybe alakazam.

alakazam@ choice specs/choice scarf
nature: timid/modest
ev's: 252 sp atk, 252 speed, 4 hp
ability:syncronize

moves:

focus balst
psychic
shadow ball
trick

Unless you're going to use a simulator like Shoddy Battle, then you cannot hope to succeed competitively. Unless you're going to battle people who have no idea what they are doing, their Pokémon are most likely to be bred for optimum stats. You can only get away with badly-natured, non-EVed Pokémon in-game; if you are insistent that this is a competitive team, then you must put the effort into it -- if you are insistent on posting this in this forum, then you must follow its rules and post well-thought-out, complete teams.

btw Frost Nova this is a competitive team, ive tried it on a few of my mates teams that are ev trained, and this team does extremely well.

Then I am afraid your friends are EV-training incorrectly and/or have no idea what they're doing.

I'm not going to touch your EVs because you should write your own spreads suited to your team. You must learn EVs for competitive battling. The serebii.net guide is rather convoluted and not as useful as the thread Frost Nova suggested, the guide Danbaru's wrote. In fact, I'm barely going to touch your team.

Rampardos: why Zen Headbutt? It's not going to hit anything other than Fighting types that Crunch won't, and TBH you're better off just going with your STAB Stone Edge or even EQ/switching out, poke Rampardos with a feather and it cries like a little girl, hit Rampardos with a STAB Fighting move and, well...; Rampardos isn't going to survive the Fighting move and it sure isn't going to outspeed the Fighting attacker. Pursuit is also an option. Lose Protect; it's only going to delay the inevitable in most cases, because Rampardos has pathetic, pathetic defenses. You could run a Jolly Choice Scarf Rampardos and try to outspeed some things at the loss of power [Rampardos hits hard anyway], but you're less likely to be killed off before you can move. Is it your lead? You haven't included any comments on your team, so, uh, I'm just assuming it is because it's listed first...

Gengar: Crap coverage. Night Shade will only do 100 damage each turn, when you can get far more out of STAB Shadow Ball most likely. Two ghost attacking moves on a set is generally redundant as well. Also, Dark Pulse isn't going to hit anything Shadow Ball won't except for Normal types, which you can cover with something else like Thunderbolt, it doesn't really matter. Mean Look is pointless if you haven't got a specific strategy that serves as a decent reason to trap anything; switch it out for Hypnosis. Sleeping your opponent is going to be of more help than trapping them, especially if your opponent can actually hurt you or your team. Granted, you already have sleep support on that Milotic, but Hypnosis is sure more useful on Gengar than Mean Look.

As you have Heracross, I suggest you choose Electivire, and I suppose you could try to grab a Motor Drive boost if something electric goes for Milotic. Life Orb is decent for that Electivire. I guess as it'll hit SE on most things an Expert Belt is alright too.

I'm not going to bother any further, go research before building a team. Throwing a few randoms together won't really fly.

Misaki-Chi, thanks for the help, using all ur usefull tips, beleive it or not i gave this team a fair bit of thought, mainly for covering weakness', so they arent just a few randoms strung together, but thanks for the tips.
