Please discuss.

Nice IV's, I'd get rid of Roost for Pursuit, and use A Choice Band/Scarf.

Why did you put EVs in HP? What happened to Speed, cause this thing is gonna crumble when, well, anything, thruthfully.

In this case, I'm guessing HP is to enlong survival. Good set, though.

Good team, I like that you used Roserade XD

 

[H@wK]

Roserade is my favorite Poke :D

I was considering giving EVs in speed, but I have to check the IV points in speed, if the are high enough, I'll replace the EV points.

 

[Deleted member]

give roserade grassknot

give up some pokes cause youll be weak to water
earthquakes are also a weakness
and a good swampert may just sweep your team

 

[titus]

hmm, i think that you kind of have a big weakness to ice, like four of your poke's. however i see you have the moves to counter ice types so good job, your team is good overall.

a little better if you do switch the EV's for roserade's spd, and switch out leaf storm.

and i dont really like fire types, but arcanine is one of my favorite pokemon so i can't say anything bad about it. cuz with extreme spd, and flare blitz it is amazing.

and i'd boot dragonite for forretress. cuz you need a wall, and dragon type moves are useless, that is what ice is for.

 

[HoshiPuri]

An okay team. I've learned this from my 8 years of pokemon. If you HAVE ONLY SWEEPERS, when the walls come up you go DOWN!

I would recommend a Toxic/Spike/Stealth/Rawr Impish Skarmory seeing that they are the best ones out there to use that moveset.

Brave Bird
Close Combat
U-turn
Roost/Pursuit

His SDef is really low so try to evade Special Sweepers if you are going with Roost. His Def is not so high either, but at least Intimidate helps. Try using pursuit if you think someone will switch due to Intimidating.

Roserade/ @Choice Specs/Modest/252hp 252spatt 6def
Leaf Storm
Sludge Bomb/Shadow Ball
Weather Ball
filler (maybe you can put Shadow Ball here and have both Shadow Ball and Sludge Bomb)

You should be thinking of going with either Sludge Bomb or Shadow Ball. For a strong STAB Attack you have Leaf Storm, so Sludge Bomb is more for type coverage, but since Poison isn't such a good type only being Super Effective to Grass then you should stick with Shadow Ball. Also make sure you have the Natural Cure ability since you may be switching Roserade a lot due to Choice Specs and the -2 SAtk punish of Leaf Storm.

Also you can go with the sunnybeam set:

Sunny Day
Solarbeam
Weather Ball
Synthesis/Shadow Ball

Be wary of Roserade's low defense but high SDef.

Arcanine/ @Lefties/Adamant/252att 128hp 128spd
Flare Blitz
EX-speed
Crunch/Thunder Fang
Howl

I say Thunder Fang because of the lack of electrice moves on your team. Your main moves after Howling would be Flare Blitz if you are faster, and EX-Speed if you're not. The other attack is there for type coverage. The only type that can resist both your main moves is Rock, so Crunch may not be your best move for that. If it's a Rock/Ground then Thunder Fang won't work. The other option would be Iron Tail... but is not very accurate. The last choice.... Dig... but if you use it and your foe has EQ (which any Rock type would probably have...) then gg. Your choice. But I would probably go with Thunder Fang and just evade most Ground types.

That's basically it.

 

[hyyde]

Don't use Forretress because Skarm does it better. He was THE wall in RSE and is still pretty hawt this generation.

A lot of people are packing a ton of ice these days because of Garchomp ph33r; be careful. I'd nix dragonite for skarm. I also agree with Thunder Fang on Arcanine since Dragonite should be the first poke to drop and he's the only poke with an electric attack on your team right now.

I also don't really think that Roserade is doing much for you. You may want to replace that with Starmie (Ice Beam~Thunderbolt~Surf~Grass Knot/Rapid Spin/Psychic) or even Alakazam (Psychic~Calm Mind~Shadow Ball/Energy Ball~Recover).

How dare you say that to my favorite Pokemon!?! Nah lol jk.

Thnx people for cooperating

Haha, if that's the case, then use roserade. Good luck with your team.

 

[titus]

hmm, what are you going to use as your special wall? and Skarmory>forretress.

 

[CaliburChamp]

I say you should keep Roost on your Staraptor. To recover from recoil dmg to Brave Bird, and to last long enough to intimidate over and over with your Intimidate + U-turn combo. I'd say your Staraptor has the best movesets of all your pokemon.
Another suggestion I have is to add Light Screen to one of your pokemon. So Dragonite wont faint against the Ice attacks. And make Dragonite hold this one item I forgot what it was called... But it weakens the power of super effective attacks. You can also combine that hold item with Rhyperior's Solid Rock ability, so your Rhyperior will be a true tank. That combined with Light Screen in Effect. And your Dragonite would be alot more dangerous! Plus the rest of your team.
Maybe you can add Light Screen to your Roserade, although Im not sure if it learns it exactly.
