Anyone want to rate this team?

Ludicolo w/ Leftovers
Calm
200 Def, 252 SpDef, 58 HP
Rain Dish
Rain Dance
Leech Seed
Surf
Toxic

Ludi will essentially be annoying the other team. Toxic and LS will knock away HP from walls and help KO anyone else that I'm trying to take out. Rain Dance will keep him in longer thanks to Rain Dish (as will LS if he's still in) and Surf for an attacking move. I'll probably put him in before a sweeper, maybe even to get the match started by putting in RD early.

Yanmega w/ Focus Sash
Modest
252 SpAtk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
Speed Boost
Protect
Hypnosis
Bug Buzz
Air Slash

A quick sweeper here. Protect will give me another turn for Speed Boost to up his speed stat, while Hypnosis makes anyone easy prey. BB and Air Slash for STAB attacks. A quick and merciless sweeper to finish up the other team.

Forrestress w/ Shed Shell/Leftovers
Relaxed
252 HP, 80 Atk, 176 Def
Sturdy
Rapid Spin
Gyro Ball
Spikes
Explosion

Another annoyer, but I wouldn't start off with him. I'd try to get him in early with spikes, so if I did lead off with him that'd be why, but that's it. Rapid Spin to rid myself of enemy spikes, Gyro Ball for an attack and Explosion to make more use of him incase I need him out longer and he's close to fainting.

Porygon-Z w/ Choice Specs
Timid
252 SpAtk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
Adaptability
Psychic
Dark Pulse
Thunderbolt
Tri-Attack

Another sweeper with a broad range of attacks. Pretty much to clean up any stragglers, but do tons of damage if need be.

Sharpedo w/ Choice Scarf
Jolly
252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
Rough Skin
Earthquake
Ice Fang
Night Slash
Waterfall

Wewt, another sweeper. Sharpedo is more physical oriented and can hopefully penetrate enemy defenses if I need it, but really just to clean things up.

Electivire w/ Expert Belt
Adamant Nature
252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 Hp
Motor Drive
Earthquake
Ice Punch
Thunder Punch
Cross Chop

Electivire does work. That's why I love him. He seems to work out for me coming in late in a match, so that's usually where I put him.


Thanks.

Protect on Ludicolo would essentially double the damage you do and HP you heal.

I'm not a big fan of Hypnosis's accuracy. I'd recommend dropping Hypnosis for a Hidden Power if you're playing with 60% accuracy (Wi-fi DP, IIRC).

Payback on Forretress is starting to be pretty popular, as it allows you to dent the ever-so-popular Rotom-A's that try to block Rapid Spin. Gyro Ball is a meh move. I'd go with Leftovers, though. Also, 0 speed IVs?

HP Fighting over Psychic on PoryZ, giving you coverage against, for example, Tyranitar.

Huzzah for NU! Pedo looks pretty good. Crunch over Night Slash, you get much more damage on average.

You can't go wrong with Electivire, he looks good.

Protect on Ludi would work, but what would I swap it out with?

As for Hypnosis, I usually take my chances. Especially since I can do alot of damage with BB and Air Slash anyways, though a HP would help, so I dunno.

Yeah, not a big fan of Gyro either, but I didn't know what to do with it, so I'll probably figure that one out.

I'll look into HP Fighter for Pory. Didn't think of that kind of coverage. Thanks.

Pedo > and good tip with Crunch. I was hoping for the crits with NS, but Crunch will do.

Electivire always does work. I lovez him. :)

Toxic, because if you got rid of surf, taunt users would **** you. And I'm assuming this is your lead (as it is in the first slot; correct me if I'm wrong though), which means that there would be quite a few times where you would fall prey to taunt users.

And if it is in fact your lead, I would consider switching it with Yanmega. If your opponent has SR up Yanmega will have no use for its focus sash; and it'll already be half dead. It'll like the two turns to use hypnosis as well. You know, in case its 60% accuracy fails it (which is obviously quite likely). Plus Bug Bite will be a nice little thing for Azelf, which is the #1 lead out there right now.

Hope that helps.
