INTRODUCTION:
_______________

This is my first ever competitive team, and I'm looking for some help. By the looks, ORLy is the best rater here, so if he could please help me, that would be great.


OVERVIEW:
_______________





THE TEAM:
_______________

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _


Heatran@Leftovers
Modest
54 HP, 240 Sp. Atk, 216 Spd

Taunt
Stealth Rock
Fire Blast
Dragon Pulse

This is a beast of a lead. Basically, Bronzong is screwed to begin with. Normally, the threat of a Choice Scarf is enough to scare away Gengar, allowing me to SR and see their Heatran counter. This loves it's resistences, and can usually get the ball rolling with SR.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _


Celebi@Leftovers
Bold
252 HP, 220 Def, 36 Spd

Grass Knot
Recover
Leech Seed
Reflect

Counter Gyarados and Swampert extrememly well. This is another fighting resist for the team, and combines well with Gyarados to form the physical walling for my team. I was originally running U-Turn, but I found I had a rather bad LO DD Gyarados weakness, so Reflect went in so I can stall it out.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _


Gyarados@Leftovers
Impish
212 HP, 8 Atk, 184 Def, 106 Spd

Rest
Sleep Talk
Dragon Dance
Waterfall

Basically, this switches in on resistences, and also Intimidates physical attackers. This is remarkably only 3HKO'd by Choice Band Heracross Stone Edge after Intimidate, and I can just Rest off the damage and outstall it. This new set still is only 3HKO'd by Heracross, but now outspeeds non + Tyranitar before a DD, and Garchomp after a DD.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _


Blissey@Leftovers
Calm
252 Def, 176 Sp. Def, 80 Sp. Atk
Natural Cure

Wish
Ice Beam
Thunder Wave
Seismic Toss

Obligatory Special Wall. Thunder Wave is great to halt sweepers such as Gengar and Deoxys-E. A Blissey without Seismic Toss is...lol IMO. Wish provides support to Garchomp and Alakazam, who can do with it due to subbing etc. Ice Beam means that Garchomp switching into a Thunder Wave won't get such an easy SD on the expected switch. It also keeps Dugtrio at bay.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _


Garchomp@Yache Berry/Leftovers
Jolly
252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP

Swords Dance
Substitute/Fire Fang/Fire Blast
Dragon Claw
Earthquake


Simple Garchomp set. Yache hasn't seen much use lately, so Leftovers can certainly be an option, even more so if I choose to use Substitute. Pretty self explanitory.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _


Alakazam@Leftovers
Timid
24 HP, 248 Sp. Atk, 236 Spd


Substitute
Psychic
Encore
Hidden Power BUG


I absolutely adore this. Basically switches into a status user. (i.e. Blissey, Cresselia) then subs. They use Thunder Wave, but Sub protects me. Usually Blissey users then proceed to try and Seismic Toss me, but I Encore their Thunder Wave, then switch in Garchomp for an easy set up. HP BUG hits Weavile, Alakazam, Celebi etc for great damage, and isn't expected. This combines very well with Garchomp, as stated previously, and is an integral part of the team, allowing me to freely switch when needed, as long as I predict correctly.

Do consider Life Orb on Chomp, and try a Specs set, while most of you think, "Why" here's why: Specs Chomp with Surf or Draco will severely hammer Hippo, who is a mortal enemy because Garchomp spilled tea on it while they were having a tea party when they were young. In all seriousness, I see no glaring weaknesses, great team.

@ KTC: While Hydro Pump gets STAB, Gyara already has Waterfall, so Hyper Beam would be better. L3arn h0w 70 pogeymanz.

NUH - UH N00BS. Hydro Pump ish better becuz it gets STAB[/n00b]

Very solid team overall. I know you reached #1 in your school with it, so there is little that I can suggest. Watch out for Shadow Ball Deoxys-e *shot*
