NEED MORE SPLASH / LUVDISC
......its a good team.

Dugtrio probably isnt your best bet(Jolteon OHKOs, and rocks your team- but trapping is always nice), + cool points for using it.

How do you deal with late game SS? and LO on 4 pokemon is illegal with item clause, if your using this team on your DS for tournaments.......

and get rid of explosion on Bronzong or Electrode- you should always keep 1 of your main RDers alive, just in case- otherwise, Obama will switch in and hail teams will laugh at all your water STAB attacks.

I dont like the RDing Mix Sweeper set on Kingdra. Your team is already too reliant on water, and giving him 2 water moves is meh, and Rain Dance is another waste of slot. Your already running 2 RD slots that are going to get it set up- I just think Kingdra has a lot of untapped potential- and throw a substitute up there, kingdra hates statuses. The way i see it this is your main sweeper, so protect it.

Im surprised @ no Kabutops.

Youve got a great idea, decent pokemon, but a few small things that need changing.

A couple small things...

I think you should make Kingdra either a physical or special sweeper. Some pokemon are better suited to one or the other, but Kingdra's stats are balanced. You don't give it any SpAtk EVs which kind of minimizes his special effectiveness. I would suggest either making him a special sweeper, or putting more EVs in SpAtk so that he can get more use out of Surf and Draco Meteor.

Good to see a lot of RD'ers though, the worst thing is late-game without an RD'er (especially since two of them explode...).

Your team will get worn down by the likes of Vaporeon and Dry Skin Toxicroak (rare) though, especially a stalling variety, since even with your other moves for type coverage, STAB boosted water will still be more powerful and you'll use it most often. You have good type coverage already though with your movesets though, and you should be able to cover it when it comes up lol.

Good team.

My bad on kingdra it was supposed to be SpA not SpD, so it's a threat to both special and physical walls (except Vaporeon). My dugtrio takes care of dry skin toxicroak. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback, I was thinking that kabutops is a better choice as a physical sweeper and will probably use kabutops instead of floatzel (even though floatzel has less weaknesses), since stone edge would still take care of shedninja and x-scissor takes care of grass. I see why kingdra would be better off with a sub instead of using raindance, I just think that if both my main RDs are dead, it's best to have rain dance on whatever sweeper I have left but the suggestion of taking explosion off bronzong should fix that. Electrode is just a suicidal lead to get my sweepers switched in safely and quickly so I'm going to keep explosion on him.
