What I think would be a good competitive team

Welcome all raters! I'd be thankful if you'd rate this and help me, especially with EVs, since I don't know exactly what stats are required to OHKO or 2KO certain Pokemon with certain moves.

So... here it is.

Landorus/Terrakion

I can't decide between these two... any comments would be appreciated concerning them.

Eelektross@?
Nature: Modest
Ability:Levitate
Acid Bomb
Flamethrower
Thunderbolt
Grass Knot/Thunder Wave

My preferred special attacker, as it has no weaknesses, baring unlikely events. Acid Bomb to weaken, Flamethrower and Thunderbolt for coverage. I don't know what to do about the item, though.

Whimsicott@Iron Ball
Nature:Careful
Ability:Mischievous Heart
Switcheroo
Leech Seed
Substitute
Taunt

Chosen for being the fastest user of Mischievous Heart, Whimsicott can cripple sweepers with Switcheroo, Taunt those that try to do the same first, and drain Defensive Pokemon's HP. Hopefully it works as well as this summary makes it out to be.

King Klank!(Klinklang)@Balloon?
Nature:Jolly/Adamant
Ability:Clear Body
Gear Change
Gear Saucer
Return
Rock Smash

One of my favorite Pokemon, this simple machine suffers from an overly simple move pool. Since there are no magnet pull Pokemon in Unova, I thought Rock Smash would be better than Volt Change.

Jellicent@Leftovers
Nature:Bold
Ability:Water Absorb
Recover
Scald
Will-o-Wisp
Hex

To keep any Haxurous or similar physical from ripping my team apart, and to severely weaken any other stallers, Jellicent is equipped with burning and stalling moves.

Reshiram@Life Orb?
Nature:Modest
Ability:TurboBlaze
Flame Charge
Shadow Ball
Blue Flame
Dragon Pulse

Normally I try not to use Ubers, but since I have no guarantee my opponent won't use them, I keep Reshiram on me. Flame Charge is to hopefully start a sweep, and then wreck havoc with the rest of the moves.

That's my team. Please bear with me if I do something stupid. As I said in the introduction, all comments are appreciated!

OK first you need to list each of your pokemons evs or this thread will be locked.
If I were you I'd use Terrakion cause he has overall better stats than Landorus except special attack. Tell me what move set your thinking about using for Terrakion.

Eelektross should be holding choice spec.

Klink should never have rock smash. the only HMs you should teach pokemon are surf and waterfall. A good move set would be body purge, thunder bolt, flash cannon, and Hidden power(ground)

Jellicent should know Will-O-Wisp, Substitute, Shadow ball, and Surf

Other than that your party NEEDs a pokemon with stealth rock
BTW please rate my party

Aside from the EVs (which I suggest downloading a good Damage calculator there are tons out there)----> Evs are also to make sure a Pokemon can last longer not just 1HKo/2HKO calcs.

Whimsicott seems kind of bad. Iron Ball + no attacking moves makes it a victim to counter Whimsicott's running Taunt since in that case they'll outspeed it Taunt and then force a switch. Even worse you can't even attack them with something like U-Turn to switch out and do some damage in that case. ---> Not that U-Turn is the end all be all filler damage move but meh.

I also agree Rock Smash is not worth using (maybe next gen if it gets buffed...), anyway.

Elektross might be better without Acid Bomb (at least in that set.)... Brick Break is worth a mention. (TTar/Bliss--->Although Bliss is less used whatever) HP Ice is also a good suggestion for Dragons, which although your team can hinder can't actually stop that well. (Easy sweep)

Also, if you are running an Uber this team would have to be an Uber team metagame and this thing wouldn't last long. So get rid of the Uber. --->Contrary to popular belief, someone just running Ubers=/=End of the world in a battle. In fact quite the contrary. ---> Assuming you're playing Wifi (DS) with this team they do have an option to view the opposing team. (Random order but still)


Also on the Magnet pull comment, Magnezone still is used as far to my knowledge and loves trapping steels. Even if you have a counter move, Mag can pull a stall set to raise SPA (Charge Beam) and then continue to stall.


Last question: What tier are you aiming for exactly? UU or OU? OU this needs quite a lot of work, UU not as bad in my opinion.
