I posted this team a few weeks ago, but got no repleis, so here it is again...

I designed this team to have as few weaknesses as posible.
all pokemon have 1 weakness each, except Spritomb which has none.

im not a big fan of starters... so i pretty much ruled out swampert. quagsire's the next best water/ground type.
 

aipomkong

prophecy fulfilled
Dark Pulse + Shadow Ball on the same set is pointless, they both hit the same types super effective.

Silver Wind is useless without STAB

Water Pulse on kingdra is just dumb, when it learns Surf.

Aerial Ace on Scizor is pathetic without the Technician trait.

and there's more that needs fixing, especially Quagsire's moveset, that Feraligatr does so much better, and with Dragon Dance. Not to mention Sludge Bomb is special now.

And you have Garchomp/Salamence/Weavile/Gyarados/Heracross/etc weak
 

Incarnati0n

Just as planned.
sorry, but this team is horrible...
you shouldn't go for a smal amount of weaknesses, but for a big amount of resistances.
also, you might have a small amount of weaknesses, but strong pokémon still hit hard. you're chanceless against statbuilders, heracross, garchomp, porygon Z, technically everything that can hit hard.
and the pokémon that you chose also are pretty bad if you look at items, nature, attacks, EVs:

SPIRITOMB@ Wise Glasses
Pressure
Modest, EVs: Sp.ATK/HP

Dark Pulse
Shadow Ball
Silver Wind
Will-o-Wisp
spiritomb is far too weak to attack. it needs to sit there and be annoying, wall a bit, abuse pressure and inflict some statusses with willowisp or hypnosis.

SCIZOR @ Razor Fang horrible item
Swarm
Jolly, EVs: SPD/Sp.DEF if you attack, use attack EVs

X-Scissor
Iron Head
Aerial Ace
Swords Dance

IMO, scizzor is only usefull on baton pass teams, and shouldn't be used outside of that

KINGDRA @ Razor Claw horrible item
Sniper swift swim
Modest, EVs: Sp.ATK/SPD

Water Pulse surf, except if this is a 2vs2 team
Dragon Pulse
Focus Energy NO! use rain dance, anything except focus energy
Ice Beam

kingdra needs rain dance, it fights pretty good in rain.
QUAGSIRE @ Muscle Band
Water Absorb
Adamant, EVs: ATK/Sp.DEF

Earthquake
Brick Break
Sludge Bomb
Stone Edge

could maybe work... but i doubt it. swampert is way better also
ELECTRODE @ Focus Sash
Static
Hasty, EVs: Sp.ATK/ATK

Thunderbolt
Magnet Rise
Explosion
Thunder Wave

electrode can't damage anything without blowing itself up. throw it away as fast a possible
PORYGON-Z @ Silk Scarf oh god no.
Adaptability
Timid, EVs: SPD/HP special attack over HP

Tri-Attack believe it or not, hyper beam
Nasty Plot
Psychic thunderbolt
Ice Beam

porygon Z is the only pokémon wich can use hyper beam properly. thunderbolt and ice beam is a good combo called boltbeam, and is resisted by only 3 or 4 pokémon i believe

the best thing to do is completely redo this team. a small amount of weaknesses sounds cool in theory, but when it comes to it, it doesn't make that much of a difference
