I made this team recently and it needs some help. A lot of help, actually. Before anyone says it, I also don't want to use Murkrow, since it's on the verge of being banned.

Drifloon (M) @ Salac Berry
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 196 HP/196 Spd/116 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Baton Pass
- Substitute
- Shadow Ball
- Charge Beam

This is my Drifloon lead. It makes 7HP subs, which it uses to get a team-mate in for free. If needed it can also use Charge Beam for some offense and to boost its stats. Shadow Ball for generic STAB. It holds a Salac berry to have something to pass to a team-mate other than SAtk boosts.

Carvanha (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 196 Atk/236 SAtk
Lonely nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Aqua Jet
- Ice Beam
- Hydro Pump
- Crunch

Carvanha spits in the speed-based metagame of LC, particularly my bold variant that uses no speed EVs. Using STAB LO Aqua Jet off of 19 attack hurts everything without Water Absorb. Crunch gets STAB and helps him out against water-types. Ice Beam gives him some nice coverage, and Hydro Pump is a 2KO on Bronzor. LO is for win. The Lonely nature is because I didn't want to detract from speed, and his defenses are both shit anyways.

Elekid (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Static
EVs: 252 Atk/236 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Cross Chop
- Thunderpunch
- Ice Punch
- Quick Attack

20 Speed+16 Atk and LO=win. Unresisted coverage and priority make Elekid a solid Pokemon.

Abra (M) @ Salac Berry
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 76 HP/196 Spd/236 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Psychic
- Charge Beam
- Substitute
- Signal Beam

Ever since RBY, Abra and Porygon have held special places in my heart. As such, I decided to try out a variant of the Sub version I saw in his analysis. With a Salac under his belt and a boost from Charge Beam, Abra kills just about everything. Signal Beam hits Dark-types neutral or SE, making for an easy KO with 2 Charge Beam boosts. Psychic for everything else. Even without Salac, Abra with a Sub up is a force to be reckoned with.

Porygon @ Oran Berry
Ability: Download
EVs: 236 HP/236 SAtk
Quiet nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
- Trick Room
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Shadow Ball

Porygon, my all-time favorite Pokemon. In every generation I've used some kind of Porygon in my teams, be it 2 or z and Little Cup is no exception. This Porygon usually goes out early game to trick my opponent into thinking I run a TR team. With 0 IV's in Speed and a Quiet nature, it gets down to 8 speed and can easily set up TR and get shit done. It's a risk, since almost everything else on my team is pretty fast, but one I'm willing to take to run this guy. If only Agilitygon was legal...

Gligar (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 76 HP/236 Atk/156 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Aqua Tail
- Rock Polish
- Earthquake
- Roost

Since he got Aqua Tail, I decided I wanted to try this guy out. I prefer a Rock Polish set, since I have fond memories of Ice Punching SD Gligars with the Elekid on my old team(s). After a Rock Polish, he hits 30 speed and crushes unprepared teams. LO adds damage onto attacks from his already spectacular 18 attack at the expense of dropping his walling capabilities. To make up for this, Gligar packs Roost to heal back LO recoil and other kinds of damage he happens to receive.

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

wouldn't life orb be better suited for gligar?

Solid team although you may want to try Sub/Ice Punch/Thunderpunch/Focus Punch @ Leichi which I like on Elekid to let me revenge Murkrow efficiently, the HP ice variant of which could cause some problems.

if you're running Rock Polish on Gligar, do you really need quick attack? I think Stone Edge/X-Scissor or even Baton Pass would be better suited to that slot.

Hm...Added Roost>Quick Attack. I'm thinking about replacing Drifloon with Fake-Turner Meowth and Abra with Sub MisDreavus who does the exact same thing, but with Shadow Ball>Psychic. Is this a good idea of should I keep it as is?
