I wouldn't use dragonite as a lead. Many leads are equipped to deal with dragons, and I would hide dragonite until the major threats are neutralised or at least identified. And dragonite has better things to be doing than ice beaming, i think. Try dragon dance instead.

Get rid of choice specs on your lucario. Either that, or get rid of calm mind.

Why do you have choice band on nintales if it has 3 statuses?

Psychic and thunderbolt don't have such good type coverage.

Thats all for now.

Too many special attackers. A Blissey could tank your team pretty well. Maybe you can make Lucario a physical attacker.

Also I like Toxic on Milotic over Mirror Coat. Far too many thunderpunches out there.

Why a Jolly Dragonite? That's cutting his power on Ice Beam. :confused:

If he has Dragon Claw, he should be okay against Salamence and Garchomp (Dragon is good against Dragon, no?). I'd give him Dragon Dance too. Thunder punch is nice, as is Earthquake.

Can't comment on much else. But the Dragonite bothered me. Had to say something. ;)

If a Pokemon with Choice Specs uses Calm Mind, they'll be stuck into doing that move until they switch out. Either remove Choice Specs or remove Calm Mind.

Why use Focus Band when you're using three status attacks and a Special Attack? Give it Leftovers. Use 252 EVs in Special Attack, and replace Attract and Confuse Ray with Energy Ball and Hypnosis.

Make the EV spread be:

I'd use Leftovers.

Anything that has DragonDance, CalmMind or any other stat-uping move should have leftovers, or some item that allows it to live longer. Which means that pretty much everything but sceptile is gonna want to have leftovers.

@Wii4Mii
What would you use HP fire against?(on the sceptile)

and you do have too many special attackers. maybe switch lucario for metagross, or make him physical.

Hmm, maybe you should make the dragonite like this:
Dragonite@Leftovers
Nature: -def/+spd
EVs: Something like 252Atk/6SpAtk/252Spd
DragonDance
Earthquake
Thunderbolt
DragonClaw

Because if thunderpunch is for Gyarados then thunderbolt would most likely do more damage due to Intimidate.

@Wii4Mii
that moveset would be just like the specszard moveset at smogon. :S

Hasty is Spd+ Def-.

Also, Thunderbolt hits Skarmory harder.

Gardevoir is a sweeper, not a friggen support... 7000!!!!!
Congragulations on the 700th post. You still got a while to catch up with mii. :laugh:

I thought I already told you on another thread. Gardevoir can be either, but is generally better for support.

1) First of all, Azelf pretty much outclasses Gardevoir in the Psweeping Psychic category.

Although Gardevoir has 125 Sp. Atk, Calm Mind and many moves at her special disposal, including Psychic, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Focus Blast and Grass Knot, Gardevoir's Speed is only 80. That doesn't cut it when it comes to sweeping Pokemon.

2) At her supportive movepool, Gardevoir can use Will-o-Wisp, Hypnosis, Thunder Wave, Healing Wish, Toxic, Light Screen, Reflect, and Trick Room. She can also function as a Special Wall thanks to her 115 Special Defense. Will-o-Wisp also helps her take some unboosted, not SE physical hits.

Who else agrees with mii that Gardevoir is better as Support?

That speed is uneeded, since this should be moved into a Thunder Wave or some other type of status not named toxic. You need some HP, also
