Trying out the ladder play.

Murkrow (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Insomnia
EVs: 36 HP/236 Atk/20 Def/188 Spd/20 SDef
Lonely nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Taunt
- Sucker Punch
- Pursuit
- Pluck

This is a basic lead Murkrow, nothing too out of the ordinary here.

Croagunk (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Dry Skin
EVs: 198 Atk/196 Spd/116 SAtk
Rash nature (+SAtk, -SDef)
- Vacuum Wave
- Sucker Punch
- Dark Pulse
- Nasty Plot

This is a standard priority Croagunk. It give nice dual-priority, and is a good revenge killers. It's not the most useful guy on my team, so if anyone has a better priority Poke, I'll be happy to take your suggestions.

Gligar (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 236 Atk/236 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- X-Scissor

My Life Orb Gligar is probably the most reliable Pokemon on my team, along with Murkrow. He works really well, but he has some trouble with Misdreavus. He has great coverage, and is near unstoppable if he gets a couple SDs off.

Cacnea (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 36 HP/236 Atk/236 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Seed Bomb
- Brick Break

Cacnea isn't the best piece of my team, but he has come through for me a few times. Sucker punch is great, and Seed Bomb works well. Brick Break is great against Munchlax.

Chinchou (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 236 HP/228 Spd
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Surf
- Confuse Ray
- Discharge
- Ice Beam

This is your standard Chinchou, but I used Discharge to combine Thunderbolt and Thunder Wave, and added Ice Beam. I tried both, and noticed I wasn't using Thunder Wave as much as I was afraid of Ground switch-ins. Discharge requires a little more luck, but it lowers the chance that I'll be out-predicted and give a Gligar a chance to get in. Ice Beam offers good coverage, and surprises the previously mentioned Gligars as well.

Focus Sash helps me survive to take out certain threats, and has been generally more useful than a Oran Berry would be.


Lickitung (F) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Own Tempo
EVs: 36 HP/156 Def/196 SAtk/76 SDef
Quiet nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
- Wring Out
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Fire Blast

My Specs Lickitung is nice. Wring Out is awesome, and Ice Beam and Thunder bolt offers great coverage. Fire Blast is for Bronzor, who likes to wall my team.

Please help me make my team better, I'm open to all suggestions.

Back. Will see in the next week or so how much I can contribute.

Choice Specs pokemon aren't really that useful especially Abra, which is Murkrow bait.

Jolly on Gligar

A bit of a Staryu weak here and Buizel too, a simple Chinchou over say Lickitung would solve that.

I'd also ditch Poliwag for Buizel/Croagunk since you will barely ever sweep with it and you could do with extra priority.

Abra wants a scarf and HP Fighting, REALLY badly. I can see a Houndour run through most of this team.

What the fuck does HP Ice do that HP Fighting doesn't do better? Both OHKO Murkrow. He's not an easy Pokémon to use, so I'd run Misdreavus over him for now, who at least can take an unboosted neutral hit.

I took some of the advice and replaced Abra with Chinchou with this spread:

Chinchou (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 236 HP/228 Spd
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Surf
- Confuse Ray
- Discharge
- Ice Beam

This is your standard Chinchou, but I used Discharge to combine Thunderbolt and Thunder Wave, and added Ice Beam. I tried both, and noticed I wasn't using Thunder Wave as much as I was afraid of Ground switch-ins. Discharge requires a little more luck, but it lowers the chance that I'll be out-predicted and give a Gligar a chance to get in. Ice Beam offers good coverage, and surprises the previously mentioned Gligars as well.

Also, I replaced Poliwag with Croagunk:

Croagunk (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Dry Skin
EVs: 198 Atk/196 Spd/116 SAtk
Rash nature (+SAtk, -SDef)
- Vacuum Wave
- Sucker Punch
- Dark Pulse
- Nasty Plot

This is a standard Croagunk. It give nice dual-priority, and is a good revenge killers. It's not the most useful guy on my team, so if anyone has a better priority Poke, I'll be happy to take your suggestions.

Try Jolly on your Gligar. Since you're boosting with Swords Dance, your attack isn't as important, and that extra point of speed can either outspeed or speed tie a lot of stuff expecting to easily outspeed you. I've tried it with great success.

SDS, Ice resists Water. Ground doesn't resist Rock.

I think your team could be improved by having 6 pokemon lol, something that can take on Munchlax, seeing how all your team is 2HKOed by Return.
