- Fake out
- night slash

Anti-lead weavile is awesome. Fake out is to break suicide leads focus sashs, taunt so they can't set up stealth rocks, night slash for azelf and counter to counter metagross, bronzong, infernape. Hasty nature for maximun counter damage.

I don't have a thing against blissey, I just like to be able to hit a pokemon back when they hit me.

I have heracross because he is awesome. Dual 120 base power stab attacks kick butt. I chose earthquake over night slash because I rarely get any use out of it.

cleans up what's left of the other teams pokemon. I have energy ball because I'm too lazy to get hidden power

sth i was told to watch out in any time are dd gyarados and salamence, ur team is weak to them, what can u do after 1dd?unless u already have ur own gyara set up, ur done for, y not giving stone edge to him over ice fang, but stone edge's accuracy isnt to forget about...i know u have ur scarfed heracross, but the same, u can be locked on some other move, 2 turns to return to the field, and stone edge again, isnt a move to rely to much on.
y not scarfed gengar for gyarados?
i think selfdestruct over rest is much better in snorlax, u can always explode in salamence's face.

 

[swalot=yes]

I'm not really sure what your talking about...Care to clarify?

 

[pastel]

UHH, well its simple, its just to say that salamence and gyarados with the move Dragon Dance, could make alot of damage to ur team, nearly or totally KOing it.

 

[Bulldogs]

Perhaps if you typed like someone with an education above 4th grade we wouldn't have this problem. xD

 

[Obselete Victory]

It's called the English language, Pastel. Learn to speak it.

Going back to what he said, you are actually very weak to Salamence and Gyarados after a Dragon Dance. What you could do is scarf Gengar and replace Energy Ball with HP Ice.

More later if I come up with anything.

 

[Bulldogs]

I don't think HP Ice is necessary.Salamence doesn't take STAB Shadow Balls(lol) very well.

 

[swalot=yes]

It doesn't matter if they do damage, I need to be able to one hit ko a salamance after it dd's, not just get ok damage.

 

[kiltank]

STAB Shadow Balls(lol)

so immature...

im not one to assess the current metagame, so i wont. your team does, however, have decent, synergy. but if gyara goes down, you will be horribly weak to nape and/or tran (really just fire in general).

if this is for shoddy or something (just not wifi) then add 4 ev's to gar and hera in HP, unless that makes them SR weak, then spD would prob be best for them both.

i like the originality off the team, but, again, i dont know how affective it is. so, for future refference, if this is for shoddy or something, then post your success. if for wifi, then say so (and with wifi, i always suggest putting it here b4 u train them so you wont train anyone you wont use, like if someone suggests a poke change or something)

 

[xephslayer]

Something about Weavile that makes me dissapointed. If you have a Sash on it, you might have to choose between Taunt or Counter because a Sash only works once. If Weavile is going to an Anti-Lead, then ditch Counter and put Ice Punch in it's place, that should solve your DD Salamence problem and hit a few more things (ie. Hippowdon, Gliscor,Torterra, Rhyperior ect.) So in the end, it should look like.

And as for your Heracross, Fighting and Ground have VERY similar type coverage so you might just want to replace that with night slash.

For your Gyrados, I'd run Earthquake instead of Ice Fang, so you can hit opposing water types and you get a SE on steel. So it should look like this.

With the new EV's to speed, you should be able to outrun the base 130 group after 1 boost. And EQ lets you hit water types for nuetral damage, or if you insist on keeping ice fang for Salamence and friends, just switch Gengar or some one who can land a super effecive on a water type.

Oh, and one thing that really bugs me is that Skarmory uses Drill Peck/Steel Wing because they don't have recoil. Recoil destroys the purpose of walls in the fact that they're supposed to keep as much HP as possible.

Other than that, your team looks promising. I hope I helped in any way, shape, or form. Good luck with your team!

 

[swalot=yes]

I can't get rid of counter, because then I couldn't beat leads like bronzong and metagross. And I'm keeping brave bird on skarmory because it needs the power. Drill peck isn't enough, and the point of a wall is to stall a pokemon, not just keep hp. Besides, I have leftovers and roost.

I'm too lazy to get hidden power

Was just suggesting the alternative. You yourself said you were too lazy to get HP
