Alright I need some options on my battling team. Now before I list them i'm saying this now as a disclaimer, i use pokemon i like not ones that are "good". I use ones that I think are good, like Lopunny (which owns) or Leafeon (also owns) I dont want anyone to tell me to get garchomp or whichever OU because they are a better version of whatever I have. Everyone clear? I would like to stick to UU-BL tiers the most but if you can agure a good case for a NU im game to try it. I like very few OU I also need to say that I can't spell to save my life

Absol should have razor wind.

Breloom is ok.
Give it a toxis orb to self heal as well as only being able to be confused, Leech seeded, infactuated or flinched.

Gengar should have Hypnosis, Dream eater, and nightmare.

Thats all.

If you're not using FEAR then you should be using Guts abuse Raticate. Team has so many holes in it but you seem to be picky so meh. You also lack Stealth Rock, which is probably something worth including, and I suggest removing Rattata or something.

teehee
also, a breloom set that i used that worked pretty well was:
breloom@toxic orb
jolly
252atk,252spe,4hp
spore
swords dance
mach punch
seed bomb

works like a charm

No. Razor Wind sucks. Hard. It's worse than Hyper Beam.
Gengar should not have that horrible combo, it's way too unreliable.

^ There is no need to EV a FEAR Ratatta. It will do its job no matter what its EVs are. By the way , can you edit them into the first post please?
