Well its been ages since i've been on so i've obviously had a ton of time to make up a new team, and have done so =d but i losted the moving sprite things so if someone can reccomend somewhere to get pictures for the pokemon things then tell me right away :p

Here is the team ^^;;


Ninjask @ Focus Sash
Adamant
Speed Boost
252 Atk, 252 Spe, 6 HP
- Aerial Ace
- Baton Pass
- X-Scissor
- Swords Dance

The main job of this thing is just to get a SD in there and then Baton pass outta there. But on the odd occasion if i come up against something else thats also increasing its speed etc, i tend to attack on the second SD for a quick kill if i know i can :)


Empoleon @ Leftovers
Calm
Torrent
252 HP, 126 Def, 126 SpD
- Stealth Rock
- Grass Knot
- Roar
- Surf

Do not complain that this thing is not leading but it knows stealth rock, this is only a backup incase of the Ninjask failing. (ie. Tyranitars, Hippowdons or any other weather threat) Basically it sets the SR and then roars away, and if the health gets too low i get a STABBed surf with torrent to back me up. and grass knot for those others that are bulky and heavy :p


Aerodactyl @ Expert Belt
Adamant
Rock Head
252 Atk, 252 Spe, 6 HP
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang

This is a basic sweeper, and is very rarely baton passed in by Ninjask because of its weak defenses. This one needs advice people.


Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Adamant
Sand Stream
176 HP, 252 Atk, 80 Spe
- Crunch
- Avalanche
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge

Stole the EV spread from smogon, just incase you're wondering. Tyranitar is ALWAYS sent out when the ninjask is out of the action mainly because this one sets up a sandstorm upon switch, and a very long one. Other teammates arent affected because of typings of course. Attacks with a STABbed Crunch or any of the other moves, depending on the opponent of course.


Cacturne @ Leftovers
Adamant
Sand Veil
252 Atk , 156 HP, 156 Spe
- Sucker Punch
- Focus Punch
- Substitute
- Leech Seed

Starts with a Substitute and follows up with a Leech seed, when all of the following is set up its a matter of guessing and hitting. If the enemy misses on the turn i sub I do a focus punch to leave a huge dent in their HP, Same would go on an anticipated switch. sucker punch is incase i'm about to break and the opponent's HP is low STAB also.


Ramparados @ Focus Sash
Adamant
Mold Breaker
252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
- Rock Polish
- Zen Headbutt
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake

This is my most commonly used switch in from the baton pass ninjask, as it will have received a baton passed DD thanks to speed boost and SD. Focus sash secures safe switch in unless Hail is in play. If baton pass fails I Rock Polish on first turn and hang on with focus sash, same goes with the hail thing. Stone Edge is for STAB whilst Earthquake in conjunction with Mold breaker surprises walls such as Bronzong and surprises Gengar users. Zen headbutt is for the ever so annoying Gliscor and will 2HKO on most occasions (rough estimate, dont judge too harshly).





Well thats my team, you've probably already guessed but i love the nature Adamant more than chips. :chuckle: Anyways, Rate and do the stuff you do :D

I'm assuming this is a sandstorm team, since almost everyone has resistance and you specifically brought it up.

Ninjask: Looks fine.

Empoleon: If you are splitting the remaining EVs, you want 128. But in this case I would suggest something like 160 def/96 sp. def.

Aerodactyl: Looks fine. No real advice except that life orb/choice band might be more useful.

Tyranitar: I assume smogon had some reason for that spread, so I won't question it. Still, it seems strange that you're running choice band as opposed to choice scarf. If TTar is outspeeded, he'll be lucky to survive.

Cacturne: looks fine except you have over 510 EVs. Change those 156s to 128s.

Rampardos: Rampardos isn't really all that great... but the set looks fine.

Overall: Bulky Water ftw against this team. Empoleon has the only move that could potentially hurt them, and he has no Special Attack EVs. Faster fighting types, especially lucario, can do serious damage. I would get rid of rone of your sweepers for something that can cover at least some of these issues, such as slowbro or zapdos. I understand that you want pokemon that do not suffer from sandstorm, but you need something to balance fighting, ground, and water attacks. Lucky for you, aerodactyl and cacturne can help a bit here, but you need a pokemon that is a legitimate counter to these types.

Do you need two attacks? Change one to Protect/Substitute (Protect, imo)

Empoleon @ Leftovers

The Pokemon you listed, Tyranitar and Hippo, both have EQ, which will rip a role right through Empoleon.


Aerodactyl @ Expert Belt

LO. and maybe jolly. Never saw a use for a non-leading Aerodactyl.


Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Adamant
Sand Stream
176 HP, 252 Atk, 80 Spe

-_______- Avalanche? IMO, you should have Fire Punch instead, to kill the Scizors wanting to BP you.

Cacturne @ Leftovers
Adamant
Sand Veil

Brightpower instead of Leftovers. This set looks good on paper, but Scizor really hurts this with good prediction.

Ramparados @ Focus Sash
Adamant
Mold Breaker
252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
- Rock Polish
- Zen Headbutt
- Stone Edge

I remember I used to use this guy. But he sucks *** if you don't get off a SD pass. Go for the berry that reduces steel SE hits Bribri or some ****, and change Rock Polish to Fire Punch. I would consider using Medicham here.

Meh, getting better, but not much of your team really supports one another well.
