This thing sucks as a special sweeper. Give it Surf/Ice Beam/Rest/Sleep Talk and we got an adequate special wall.

Charizard @ ???
Blaze
EVs: unknown
Rash
- Shadow Claw
- Dragon Claw
- Fly
- Blast Burn
Horrible moveset. Blast Burn? Fly?? Decide on whether it should be special or physical please, its a mess right now.

Dragonite @ ???
Inner Focus
EVs: unkown
Brave
- Flamethrower
- Thunderbolt
- Outrage
- Waterfall
Not completly worthless, Dragonite has better attack then this. Dont use special attacks that Salamence do better.

Mismagius @ ???
Levitate
EVs: unknown
Careful
- Perish Song
- Psybeam
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
How do you expect to kill something with Perish Song? Mean Look on the set if that is what you are doing. Psybeam is a worthless move.

Garchomp @ ???
Sand Veil
EVs: unknown
Impish
- Earthquake
- Dragon Pulse
- Fire Fang
- Stone Edge
Oh my god, Dragon PULSE on this guy? Not to mention that you put it in a team with Dragonite, you are asking to be destroyed by Ice Beamers like Starmie.

Drapion @ ???
Sniper
EVs: unknown
Serious
- Ice Fang
- Poison Fang
- Thunder Fang
- Fire Fang
Just no. Lack of power and real purpose of this set is painfully obvious.

You already have 6 team members...

Comments in bold.

Your team lacks thought, synergy, counters to common metagame threats etc.

There we go. I'm a bit iffy on the Drapion, though.

thanks for the comments, both of you. i'm wondering wich eeveelution to add to my team, which dragon to get rid of, and what to replace it with (i might want to get rid of the misdreavus and the drapion)

EDIT: i give you: my new team (changes have only been made to the line-up)

vaporeon is a good bulky water with light weight to counter grass knot
umbreon is a good wall and toxi-staller... plus it has mean look which is just cool
jolteon is a decent sub-passer and can serve to get in quick with a t-wave and get out faster
leafeon can pass swords dance, nuff said.


I think you might want umbreon the most for your team.

Oh, and the one thing that dragonite will hit you for if you don't give it, is dragon dance plus outrage. That's its biggest advantage over the other dragons, so take advantage of it. Also, charizard is better special sweeper, make it modest or timid and give it dragon pulse, flamethrower... and whatever you need for type coverage, it doesn't really matter to me, just make it a special sweeper, it does a good job as one.

thank you but do u have any advice for my new team? (though that will work too)

 

[heirokee]

I say you just make a great cookie cutter team...

really, I don't know. Pick some pokes you like, and figure out which ones would do a good job at certain things. Maybe if you just give like, a list of twenty of your most favorite pokes we could help you sort through and find a decent team out of them.

Picking pokemon for a team is much more about personal preference than anything else. Most poke can do fine in a specific role, it's just not wise to try to make them something they aren't. For example, shuckle should never be turned into a sweeper, it's not good at that, so you don't so it. Shuckle has been and always will be a wall, and nothing else.
