OU Rate My Team

[greenblob]

I know this is terribly OU and cliche, but it's the first time I've been playing since mid-Advance gen.

Skarmory @ Shed Shell, Impish
252 HP, 64 Att, 176 Def, 16 Spd
Stealth Rock
Whirlwind
Roost
Drill Peck

Pretty Standard Skarm... Shed Shell as a cautionary measure, and because I thought standard battles had Item Clause on.

Alakazam @ Choice Specs, Timid
6 HP, 252 Sp.A, 252 Spd
Trick
Psychic
Focus Blast
Signal Beam

Trick-Zam. I used the hell out of this in Advance, and so far it's serving me well.

Blissey @ Leftovers
252 Def, 216 Spd, 40 Sp.A
Aromatherapy
Toxic
Softboiled
Ice Beam

Standard Blissey to complete the SkarmBliss wall.

Jirachi @ Salac Berry, Timid
252 HP, 176 Spd, 80 Sp.Att
Substitute
Calm Mind
Thunderbolt
Flash Canon

Tank until Salac activates, and hopefully by that time I'll have a few CMs set up.

Gyarados @ Life Orb, Jolly
4 HP, 252 Att, 252 Spd
Dragon Dance
Waterfall
Earthquake
Stone Edge

Standard physical sweeper.

Breloom @ Poison Barb, Jolly
44 HP, 252 Att, 214 Spd
Substitute
Spore
Leech Seed
Focus Punch

A pretty standard Breloom--double duty Spore/Sub-Punching and Sub-seeding.


Again, this is pretty standard, but it's been effective thus far. I win maybe 2/3 to 3/4 of my matches in random battles.
There are a couple glaring counters, the main one being a Sub/Endure-Reversaler, but I've run into those maybe once? A pressure team would also out-stall me pretty quickly.

Nice i don't know about a lead though. Also try running brave bird on this It has a lot more power and is a great STAB. I like shed shell on this though good stuff.

Standard not much to say

I think you should consider running a Jirachi anti-lead it messes up suicide leads like azelf and has iron head to cause flinch. And maybe put an empoleon in this guys place with a Petaya berry. And with the torrent ability plus Petaya he is extremely powerful when below 25% health and can sweep almost anything late game. With sub it makes it easy to fall below 25% health and after one agility he can out speed a timid choice scarf heatran.

and empoleon @ Petaya Berry

Might want to replace you are pretty weak to fire with 3 pokemon on your team weak to fire. I suggest you replace with a vaporeon.

advice is in bold

Only use Brave Bird if you've got Leftovers. Why did you choose Alakazam over all the other possible Trickers?
