Here it is: Pokemon #1: Forretress Lv 100 Nature: Relaxed EVs: 252 HP 162 Atk 96 Def Held Item: Macho Brace Chosen Ability: Sturdy Stats due to EVs: HP: 354 Atk: 256 Def: 374 Sp Atk: 156 Sp Def: 156 Speed: 38 (It has 0 IVs, and is holding Macho Brace that is why.) Moveset: Stealth Rock Spikes Gyro Ball Rapid Spin Pokemon #2: Alakazam LV 100 Nature: Timid EVs: 24 HP 216 Sp Atk 252 Speed 16 Sp Def Held Item: Leftovers Chosen Ability: Synchronize Stats due to EVs: HP: 257 Atk: 122 Def: 126 Sp Atk: 360 Sp Def: 210 Speed: 372 Moveset: Psychic Signal Beam Substitute Encore Pokemon #3: Breloom Lv 100 Nature: Adamant EVs: 44 HP 252 Atk 212 Speed Held Item: Toxic Orb Chosen Ability: Poison Heal Stats due to EVs: HP: 272 Atk: 394 Def: 196 Sp Atk: 140 Sp Def: 156 Speed: 229 Moveset: Spore Substitute Leech Seed Focus Punch Pokemon #4: Spiritomb Lv 100 Nature: Careful EVs: 252 HP 172 Atk 84 Sp Def Held Item: Leftovers Chose Ability: Pressure Stats due to EVs: HP: 304 Atk: 263 Def: 252 Sp Atk: 198 Sp Def: 300 Speed: 106 Moveset: Taunt Pain Split Sucker Punch Will-o-Wisp Pokemon #5: Gyarados Lv 100 Nature: Adamant EVs: 156 HP 108 Atk 100 Def 144 Speed Held Item: Leftovers Chose Ability: Intimidate Stats due to EVs: HP: 370 Atk: 344 Def: 219 Sp Atk: 140 Sp Def: 236 Speed: 234 Moveset: Taunt Dragon Dance Waterfall Stone Edge Pokemon #6: Electivire Lv 100 Nature: Mild EVs: 36 Atk 252 Sp Atk 220 Speed Held Item: Life Orb Chose Ability: Motor Drive Stats due to EVs: HP: 291 Atk: 291 Def: 152 Sp Atk: 317 Sp Def: 206 Speed: 281 Moveset: Thunderbolt Flamethrower Ice Punch Cross Chop How this team works: Forretress is the Spikes/Stealth Rock starter. He can easily handle Aerodactyl leads. If he tries to Taunt me, I will Gyro Ball him and he dies. If he is holding Focus Sash, he will set up Stealth Rock the next turn, and I will Rapid Spin it away, killing him because he has 1 HP left. If it is an Ambipom trying to Fake Out, I switch in Spiritomb, with his immunity to it. The trainer will then use U-turn at me and switch in to something threatening like Gyarados or Salamence, but I Will-o-Wisp him, crippling the switch in. Spiritomb also has enough Sp Def EVs to survive a Choice Specs Draco Meteor from Salamence, then I can automatically use Pain Split to heal myself back and he just wasted 2 PP due to pressure. And he will have to switch out as well, so I can restore more health with Pain Split. If my Forretress is facing a Heatran, I just switch out to my Gyarados and can set up Dragon Dance. Then the foe will probably switch in Starmie/Zapdos/Jolteon at me and thinks he can dispose of me. There is where Electivire comes in to absorb it and get a speed boost so he can start sweeping teams. If the opponent however has a Hippowdon who can stop Electivire, I have Gyarados to deal with him. I can Taunt his attempts to use Slack Off and Stealth Rock and set-up easiy then sweep. My opponent will then try to send in Bronzong to explode on me, but I switch in Spiritomb and he exploded on a ghost, meaning to say he wasted one of his Pokemon for nothing. For my Alakazam, I send him into something like a Machamp to scare him off. My foe will then switch in Blissey and try to Thunder Wave me. Big big mistake. I use Substitute,. then Encore. meaning to say I will either KO that Blissey or my foe will switch out to another Pokemon and get that Pokemon killed because he was put in the KO range of Psychic due to Stealth Rock and Spikes. And I am still hiding behind a subsitute, meaning to say I put my opponent in a bad spot. Same for Breloom, I switch him in to something he can scare off, Blissey and then cripple the switch in with Spore, then use Substitue and drain the opponent of HP with Leech Seed or use Focus Punch to KO the pesky target while still behind a substitute. So what do you think of my team? Criticism is alright. |

I don't have time to do a full rate but, I noticed you have a HUGE Celebi weakness. Particularly CM. Particularly offensive CM. It can set-up on half your team and sweep. |

The biggest Meowth fan ever.

Hm...That can happen if Alakazam and Spiritomb are gone.But if they are kept alive, it can't. |

Spiritomb maybe, but alakazam won't be OHKOing with signal beam after a calm mind. |

Yes, but he will 2KO before Celebi can use Recover, since he is faster, and Grass Knot won't OHKO him even after a Calm Mind. |

Simple solution, I just get my Alakazam to use Encore on his Calm Minds and he WILL have to switch or get beaten up lol. I have severe trouble with Tricksters though. There are too few Pokemon immune to Trick. They are: Arceus, Gastrodon, Muk and Sticky Hold Swalot. Really, if I do have wifi the move I will ban is Trick. |

Banning Trick, really, now. It's not hard to counter, just have a Pokemon that uses a Choice Item to ignore it. And I noticed your team has an extreme lack of defense against Dragons. I really don't think Forretress is a good counter, since it is far too easy to defeat (ANY fire move will do it, really) considering how prominent fire moves are. It's not likely to survive very long to set up, and is very easily Taunted. I don't have time for a full rate at the moment though. You're also kinda weak to Gengar and offensive Azelf, basically any all-out special attacker. |

I have no problems with Gengar and Azelf when I have Spiritomb with me. And Gyarados is there to absorb fire attacks. The foe like Salamence will probably use Outrage next, and I have my Forretress to stop that Salamence. |

You make it seem like you know what your opponent will do. For one thing Blissey still beats up your 'Zam. Most don't T-Wave right after they get in. You know what Ice Beam/Seismic Toss is for? It's for scouting incoming switches. Why else would Blissey stay in on a Dragon if it's at full health and just finished Ice Beaming one? (Dragon for example purposes) You got one thing right, and that's the Forry part. However, W-o-W is standard on Spiritomb and that is (in my experience of battling) the number 1 move that it'll use when you can force a switch (such as your example w/ Ambipom). I'm sure most people won't switch in a Physical attacker to it, but a cleric/someone with Toxic. Just one more thing I want to say is that if you "know" that someone will bring in something to "dispose" of your Gyarados, why DD in the first place? You're just going to switch right after. Why not just straight out attack first to scout? I didn't rate your team, I'm just arguing against your 1-sided situations. |
