Ok, I have offered my two cents worth on several of your RMT's. This is the first time I have shown my hand. I already know that this team works very well. I offer it for your consideration. I am sure you can find places to improve it, (it doesnt win every battle).

This set kills-try it for yourself. EXtremespeed gets priority, it is then hustled, stabbed, and banded, to make a paltry 210 attack stat rather wicked.
Also no one expects physical toge, much to their dismay.

If it is cresselia or a sprit switch to gyarados.

For some of you I know the nature isn't ideal, but this is the one I actually use. It was the first "wonderfully outstanding" poke I ever hatched. It ruled the emerald battle Island. I am a cartridge battler we don't live in a perfect world, just a richer and more fun one.

What are you a High School composition teacher? I didn't post this to be scolded regarding the layout of my outline. Why didn't you just take a red pencil and start "correcting" the "assignment". Did the horizontal nature of my "format" throw you off so badly, or is this really all you have to offer?

This is a gamesite- with some of the most outragous spelling and grammer errors you are likely to see anywhere. Presented by the semi-"literate".

(God I love quotation marks.""""""")

Just something for you to ponder, how and why are the things that the intellectual mind finds important. Not what (as in what are the rules).

In closing, "Mrs. Edna Crabapple". "Firstly" is barely a word. It can almost never be used properly, and certainly not in the context you presented. It has a conotation of something coming secondly, and you completely misused it in this example. Nothing came secondly and nothing of any value was communicated.

Wow....Um it says to be successful in CRMT, you should def. use that format. I'm pretty sure you won't get any rates, as your format is pretty hard to read.

Just get over it and use the format. It is required by what would be called "The Rules."

You want a Choice Band, and Focus Punch is preferable over Aura Sphere to take advantage of the attack boost, and then Flamethrower in the last slot. This won't be getting through physical walls, and it won't be supporting the team either.

You are correct, the nature sucks. This Swampert's physical walling potential is severely reduced, so I would re-breed.

With all of your power, you may as well go with Watefall. You wouldn't want to miss out on the flinch chance, or get an untimely miss.

Make it mixed. Thunderbolt / Flamethrower / Cross Chop / HP Ice (or Ice Punch). It works much better that way, and isn't walled by the likes of Bronzong. Mild nature.

HERACROSS-

You want Jolly, since you have a power boost as it is.

Azelf does not learn Ice Beam. This is best used as a NP sweeper, Explosion Azelf to destroy Blissey, or a good Scarf lead.

Or instead of azelf.

Physical Infernape is meh. Stone Edge > Shadow Claw.

I'd like to see your pokemon take a hit. Scarfchomp outspeeds all of your team and KOs them, while you can do nothing back, really. Swampert would normally handle it, but its Gentle nature stops that. Swampert isn't cutting it as your lone tank.

Hustle Toge isnt that good to be honest, especially the 80% accuracy on all moves, which will miss on occasion costing you matches and gives free set ups to your opponent

The Moveset isnt very well thought out either, Sky Attack is a waste, anyone can bring in their wall as youre charging up, and easily absorb the hit, even more useless if youre Choiced. Extreme Speed/ Focus Punch/ Aerial Ace/ Flamethrower is better set

Toge always wants Max HP, otherwise its easily taken down

Swampert @ Leftovers
Relaxed
240 HP, 216 Def, 52 S.Atk
- Stealth Rock
- Avalanche
- Earthquake
- Hydro Pump

Can 2HKO Skarmory and Weezing, and makes a pretty good physical tank too, thus the nature. In-Game battlers =/= Real Competitive battlers, just because it worked in the Battle Frontier doesnt mean it'll work on WiFi

Adamant > Jolly, Otherwise you fail to OHKO Starmie after a DD. And also I forgot to explain how to use Gyara effectively before. You switch in on something thats absolutely terrified of Gyara, you DD as they Switch, and you hit them hard, thinking they can wall you. Thus the need for Adamant and Life Orb, no one runs Scarf Starmie either. Most common Starmie have Leftovers and the 2nd most have Choice Specs/ Life Orb/ or Expert Belt

ELECTIVIRE-

LIFE ORB

Physical Vire has far too many counters compared to Mixed Electivire,

Electivire @ Expert Belt
Mild
76 Atk, 252 S.Atk, 180 Spd
- Hidden Power Ice
- Flamethrower
- Thunderbolt
- Cross Chop

This set isnt stopped by Weezing, Bronzong, Forretress, Tangrowth, Celebi and to a lesser extent by Gliscor, Salamence, Hippowdon, where as physical Vire is very easily shut down by the former mentioned pokes

HERACROSS-
lonely
guts
flame orb
252/252/4
CloseCombat / EQ / stone edge /Swords Dance or megahorn

Hera needs both STAB moves, EQ isnt needed, as STAB fighting moves and Stone Edge suffice for the coverage that EQ has. Also Leftovers > Flame Orb, Its going to be losing far too much HP on a team lacking spin support and from the ever so common Sandstorm

Azelf-
timid
levitate
choice scarf
252spd/252sp att/4 hp
special sweeper in case I need one. Revenge killer along with togekiss.
energy ball for swampert
Ice beam for dragons

Really fast and hits pretty hard. I am looking for x4 damage so it can get 1ko's.

Azelf doesnt learn Ice Beam, and the fact that you dont have Psychic is beyond me. Modest Nature, and HP Fighting, Grass Knot, Flamethrower, Psychic gets incredible coverage


Infernape
Hasty
blaze
life orb or choice scarf
252speed/252 att/4 hp
shadow claw / flare blitz / Close combat/ uturn

shadow claw / CC / flareblitz /uturn

Mix Ape is superior, and non- Banded/ Specs or Life Orbed Ape without a stat up move cant hit hard at all

You need walls, you focused far too much on dealing hits, and did nothing to take hits yourself, as it stands, SpecsMence can just hit Draco Meteor and automatically kills anything, Gyarados needs Stealth Rock support otherwise it loses 25% of its HP on entry, nothing here can absorb statuses, nobody here gives any kind of support to another, in other words the team doesnt work together and theres no synergy whatsoever, everybody's just doing their own thing, and trying to sweep

Thanks to blue ace.

Ace,
I respect your incite over everyone else on the forum.

I will definitely implement some of your suggestions.

The azelf thing was just a screw up. I meant mesprit.

I understand that teams work together to baton pass etc. But this group wins by switching in and using super effective attacks. I don't expect to win with a grand sweep. This is more of a war of attrition. Just have the last poke standing. You win.

If I make a more standard team, with all of the usual components, I will post in the conventional manner.

the Grateful Blue Raja
