[The Baron of Fate]

if u cant get a good hidden power for mag, go with flash cannon.

mag ev's: 252 sp. atk, 252 spd, 6 def.

 

[cryotem]

mag ev's: 252 sp. atk, 252 spd, 6 def.

*Lols at Mags EVs*

Steel Killer Magnezone:172 Hp/252 Spatk/84 Spd

All out Attacker Magnezone:88 Hp/88 Atk/248 Spatk/84 Spd

 

[Frost Nova]

The Metagross EVs I gave you are for Reflect versions only: if you want to use Agiligross go with 148 HP / 252 Atk / 108 Spd with Adamant. T-Punch and Explosion are the better choices on Agiligross over Pursuit.

Aerodactyl is more like this.

Aerodactyl@Life Orb
Trait: whatever
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Rock Slide / Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang
- Pursuit

Fire Fang doesn't really do much for it except hit the occasional Skarm or Bronzong, who walls it nonetheless.

Pure sweeper Gyarados is generally inferior to the bulky spread.

Gyarados@lefties
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 212 HP / 16 Atk / 180 Def / 100 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Earthquake / Stone Edge
- Taunt

Stick to my Kingdra suggestions please.

Weezing@Black Sludge
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 208 Def / 48 SAtk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Fire Blast
- T-Bolt
- Pain Split
- Will-o-Wisp / Haze

The standard Fighting counter. Weezing is too slow to pull off Destiny Bond, and it's usually a bad idea to blow up your physical wall.

Well the Fighting weakness is alleviated, but now you have another problem. Two of your pokemon are weak to Stealth Rock, and you don't have a proper spinner. No proper special wall (again) so Specsmence can bomb this team with his Draco Meteors and Flamethrowers.

So what you need right now:
- a special wall
- a decent Spinner to get rid of Spikes and Stealth Rock. Starmie, Donphan, Forretress, Claydol and Hitmontop are all good choices. I wouldn't recommend you choosing Forry, since you have two steel types in your team already.
- a coherent strategy. Think about what you want to do with your team. Do you want to help a certain pokemon setup, or are you focused on stalling and causing indirect damage to the opposing team?

Go back to square one and think about what you need for the centrepiece of your team. Figure out the weaknesses involved, and plan your team accordingly.

 

[Aya]

I understand...I think going with a stalling team would be a decent move. Now the question is what 6 would work the best in that combination.

 

[Caesar]

dragon pulse AND draco meteor? no.

dragon pulse AND draco meteor? yes, pulse is for late game sweeping

 

[Aya]

So it's good to have both of them?

 

[Conquistador]

The Alakazam.

Ditch Shadow Ball and replace with Energy Ball. Shadow Ball is outclassed by a stabbed Psychic that does just as good of a job where type coverage is concerned, in my oppinion.

The real option is now Trick/HP Ice.

If HP Ice 65+ is on hand, go for that.

If not, Trick should do just about as good.

For some reason I prefer Trick if it's a Modest Alakazam and HP Ice 65+ if it's a Timid Alakazam - but that's just me.

 

[Aya]

Yes, I see what you mean. Thanks a lot.

 

[johnXkid]

Umbreon is generally setup fodder :/ ditch it for a special wall

 

[Aya]

Thanks! Any ideas or better ones for attacks

 

[Aya]

What's better Umbreon with

-Wish
-Baton Pass
-subsitue
-protect or toxic

 

[Conquistador]

Oh yes, give the Umbreon Mean Look and make it Careful, but I'll have to get back to you on EVs...

 

[Caesar]

Umbreon-Lefties
EV: HP 252/252 Def or Spdef/ 4 def or spdef
Nature:Sassy
-Wish
-Meanlook
-Baton Pass
-Toxic/Protect/ Payback

Sassy makes him slower which makes wish passing more effective, mean look is to trap a poke than batton pass it's counter in. if you don't want to be walled by taunt than consider payback. if you go second its a 100 base power stabbed attack. As for ev's, pick one defense and focus on it, don't try to split them. I'd build him up for special "walling" as his two weaknesses hit alot harder on the pysical side and are almost non existent on the special side in the standard OU game. (Focus blast is inaccurate and aura sphere is only spread to two pokes outside of uber. Theres only on OU bugbuzz user that i can think of.) Unfortunalty, as much as it pains me to say umbreon just isn't that good, trap passing is useful but you may only achieve it once. if you have a spare slot on the team than umbreons good but there are just better options than him.
