Hey guys i'd love this new team of mine rated

@ Leftovers
Adamant 156 HP/ 72 Attack/ 96 Defense/ 184 Speed

Dragon Dance
Taunt
Waterfall
Bounce/Stone Edge

Pretty much a standard gyara i lead with it because i don't want to lead with anything else. i have 4 hp because i have 30 hp ivs and need an odd number to survive five stealth rock entries.Waterfall is there for standard STAB and will usually switch out on something thats faster then me or if they have a wall i.e bronzong i'll hit it with a waterfall then switch.Ice fang because its really old school and not expected as much and a really nice way to hit lead of celebi and dragonite.Earthquake for those annoying heatran who are always killing my guys and in general earthquake is a solid move.

If you want to lead with a Dos I would highly suggest you use the standard Smogon Bulky Gyarados. It has access to taunt that can help prevent slower leads from setting up Stealth Rocks, and or Spikes. Waterfall should be your main attacking move. The last move is up to choice, Water Flying is resisted only by Empoleon, and Lanturn. While Water Rock is only resisted by Empoleon and Breloom. You could tack on Earthquake if you wanted, but what you hit with Earthquake you can hit just as well with Waterfall.

@ leftovers
Bold 236 HP 252 DEF 12 SP ATK 8 SPE

roar
surf
sleep talk
rest

My physical tank, and overall a beast.Can take physical hits fantasticly.236 HP because at 400 HP i get maximum leftovers recovery and have a nice few EVS for speed and SP ATK.I have 8 SPE because some people pack 4 SPE on suicune to outspeed other suicunes and with 8 i am able to out speed them.Then i want the rest in SP ATK because lack of calmind in favor of roar to phaze leaves me not hitting as hard as i would like.Rest-talk because only HP recovery suicune gets and really it needs sleep talk to work effectively

Looks good, the only thing I could say is drop the speed EVs and put them in HP.

@ leftovers
Careful 212 HP 4 ATK 40 DEF 252 SP DEF

Payback
wish
curse
yawn

MY special tank a very good wall which takes special attacks for funsies! I carry wish and yawn without protect in favor of curse to tank more and force switches to deal with the curse and by the time they switch in i will have 2 curses and the ability to take many hits. Yawn to sleep things that will annoy me and wish to heal and give my team a second chance, aids gyara after a few SR switch ins. Payback is STAB.

Good enough. Standard Cursing Umbreon. If you want you can swap out Yawn for Baton Pass. That way you have more reliable Wish support.

@ choice scarf
Modest 252 SP ATK 4 SP DEF 252 SPEED

Swift
psychic
Water pulse
trick

A novelty poke as novelty pokes are very very scary when you see them you're just like OMG!!!!!!! and i can surpirse people very easily.Swift is STAB and therefore useful.Psychic is one of the rare powerful moves that spinda posses. Water pulse is very random and therefore surprising which is the aim of this spinda.Trick is there to cripple things and who would think that this cool little bear would trick a scarf?

I don't have much to say. It is a novelty dude, and honestly I wouldn't use this in a real match. The only time I would use it would be for a match against a friend. Spinda has horrible stats.

@ life orb
Timid 4 DEF 252 SP ATK 252 SPE

Hidden power grass
heat wave
thunderbolt
roost

MY main special attacker as spinda is novelty and i really need this hard hitter. I have the combo of HP grass heat wave and thunderbolt which gives near perfect type coverage. HP grass is for swampert which walls the HP ice set and i badly need this as i lack grass on my team. Heat wave and thunderbolt are standard and roost is for recovery as all the residual damage from SR life orb and the possible sandstorm or hail which are a lot more common now really requires roost and even umbreons wish.

Standard Zapdos. Good solid Pokemon defensively on both sides.

My last poke is my main weakness as i need SR and swampert would be great here or even celebi would work but i really have neither so i opted for a gliscor set which is meant to be a physical wall but i need SR so i needed it. Any trade offers would be great.

@ leftovers
Impish 188 HP 252 DEF 68 SP DEF

Stealth rock
toxic
earthquake
roost

As i said physical wall turned Stealth rocker. Toxic for residual damage on those annoying walls that cause my sweepers so much agony. Earthquake is considered one of the best moves in the game and with STAB on a wall like gliscor its over powered. ROost is there for healing which if i can get it i'll use it and against ice moves using gliscors very reasonable speed i can easily turn them into only x2 effective. 188 HP is wrong meant to be 180 for maximum lefties and then 8 in SPEED but i was bad at maths when i asked for it to be sav'd.

Looks good. If you want you can tinker with the EVs making it 252 HP/ 252 Speed and give it Taunt instead of Stealth Rock, so that way in case you get into a stall match you can win it with Gliscor.

thanks for rating this

Please met all Rating requirements (which can be viewed on the first post) before requesting a rating.

this is probably not quite the place to post, but it seemed like a good place to get advice. I'm helping a friend build a sandstorm team, which is sort of like the blind leading the blind, since i'm a breeder, not a battler >.< the extent of my battle experience is getting to Palmer once in the battle tower for some battle points, and all i learned from that was stealth rock efficiently kills shedinja. so I threw together a team that looks good on the surface:

@ Life Orb
Adamant / Sand Stream
36 HP / 220 Attack / 252 Speed
Dragon Dance
Crunch
Thunder Punch
Earthquake

Mainly for starting up the sandstorm, but also because he's pretty tough.

My own personnal preference as i think CB T-Tar doesn't work that well as it is countered so easily by suicune, so i have given you a Life Orb DD set with 36 evs in HP to make mimimum Life Orb damage happen.

@ Life Orb
Adamant / Inner Focus
252 Attack / 4 Defense / 252 Speed
Swords Dance
Close Combat
ExtremeSpeed
Crunch

Meant to be the main sweeper.

Other then switching Stone Edge to Crunch its fine. You will want Crunch for those ghost you had so much and Stone Edge well.... face it, it sucks.

@ Leftovers
Jolly / Sand Veil
252 HP / 4 Defense / 252 Speed
Stealth Rock
Earthquake
Taunt
U-Turn

Lead pokemon who will ideally set up stealth rock and then u-turn to tyranitar.

No lefties???? Gliscor is really bulky on the physical side and doesn't need a Focus Sash, Suicide leads ae stupid so don't use them, Gliscor is a Poke that likes to hang around.Taunt is ideal on a fast lead like Gliscor.

@ leftovers
Careful / Sturdy
252 HP / 4 Defense / 252 Special Defense
Spikes
Toxic Spikes
Payback
Rapid Spin

Rumor has it spikes can be an issue, so he's here to remove them.

I have no Problem with this other then Skarmory and Shuckle AND EVEN HEATRAN are better special walls then forretress so i would suggest either Sp def skarm or 252 HP 4 DEF 252 SP DEF Shuckle with a sassy nature and in sandstorm shuckle has over 900 Sp def, you can't pass that up in my oppinion.

@ light clay
Impish / Overgrow
252 HP / 16 Defense / 240 Special Defense
Light Screen
Reflect
Earthquake
Synthesis or Seed Bomb (undecided on this slot)

not sure about this guy. screens are nice, but maybe I should make him another sweeper?

TBH I don't like this guy i would definatly try another sweeper and as vWv suggested a special sweeper should be here. Empoleon ir Heatran really for this slot, or a specs tar as it is very surprising.

@ choice scarf
Jolly / Clear Body
252 Attack / 4 Defense / 252 Speed
Meteor Mash
Earthquake
Thunderpunch
Trick

this was to help against walls. i was considering iron ball instead as the item so he could EQ skarmorys.

Fine but in generation 4 explosion is still great and great for killing walls, i would also suggest an agiligross instead as heatran is best as a scarfer.

The general idea was to lead with Gliscor, set up stealth rock, U-turn to Tyranitar to get sandstorm going and take it from there.
This team is pretty much a stab in the dark, feel free to tear it apart. the only pokemon that absolutely have to stay are Lucario and Tyranitar but I can change anything about them except their natures / abilities. the other pokemon are completely changeable if there are better alternatives. oh, and i'm trying to avoid duplicate hold items on this team.
any and all advice is welcome, i'm really not in my element here and would appreciate the help
again, sorry if I've done this in the wrong place

I've got another double battle team that I would like your opinions on.
Theme: Rain

Drizzle
@ Shell Bell
EVs: SpAt: 252 Speed: 252 Def: 6
-Thunder
-Water Spout
-Calm Mind
-Safeguard
Kyogre starts in order to produce the rainy weather. Water Spout is a great opening move, but if the opponent is Water type, Thunder will finish it. Shell Bell can be replaced by a different item, but it can't be an item from below, as me and my friends play with the item rule were each item has to be unique.

Dry Skin
@ Black Sludge
EVs: Atk: 252 Speed: 252 Def: 6
-Poison Jab
-Sucker Punch
-Rock Slide
-Rain Dance
Toxicroak opens with Kyogre. Poison Jab is a powerful STAB that can hopefully poison the enemy as well. Sucker Punch is to hit Psychic types and Rock Slide is for hitting two enemies at once. If Kyogre dies and my opponent switches the weather, Rain Dance will change it back.

Hyper Cutter
@ Wide Lens
EVs: Atk: 252 Speed: 252 Def: 6
-Crabhammer
-Guillotine
-Rain Dance
-Swords Dance
Another sweeper, Kingler's Crabhammer has a massive STAB and crit. Wide Lens helps it hit 100% of the time, and it also bumps Guillotine's hit up to 40 as well.

Rain Dish
@ Leftovers
EVs: Def: 252 SpDf: 252 HP: 6
-Leech Seed
-Mist
-Surf
-Razor Leaf
Ludicolo walls with Rain Dish, Leftovers, and Leech Seed giving him constant health. Surf and Razor Leaf hit both enemies, while Mist is for negating stats.

Now these are the maybes:
and or

Water Absorb
@ Mystic Water
EVs: SpAt: 252 Speed: 252 Def: 6
-Surf
-Acid Armour
-Baton Pass
-Blizzard
When used with Mantine, these two can keep using Surf to hurt both enemies while healing each other.
Otherwise, use Acid Armour to pump defence then baton pass to Ludicolo. While Acid Armouring, Mantine can heal with Surf.

Water Absorb
@ Wise Glasses
EVs: SpAt: 252 Speed: 252 Def: 6
-Surf
-Signal Beam
-Ice Beam
-Earthquake
When used with Vaporeon, these two can keep using Surf to hurt both enemies while healing each other.
Otherwise, Special Sweeper.

Torrent
@ Muscle Band
EVs: Atk: 252 Def: 252 Speed: 6
-Earthquake
-Hammer Arm
-Waterfall
-Protect
Sweeper that really helps out against electric types.

Thanks a lot.
