Your team is a lead with 5 sweepers. None of your team can actually take more than 2 hits from most neutral damage attacks, you'll rack up damage from SR + Life Orb recoil quite quickly, and your Calm Mind Raikou has Choice Specs as it's held item.

It's a poorly thought out team, with no real strategy to show that you can use a hyper-offensive team to it's full potential.

Calm Mind Raikou or anything with Choice Specs is a bad idea. I recommend instead that you use Calm Mind with Life Orb.

If you also wanted Gengar in the team that's fine. But find a place where you can add Explosion in there.

Machamp does not need both Rock Slide and Stone Edge. Replace Rock Slide for Payback.

Hm... Anyways you're weak to offense and stall... Maybe you should make it a ballance team with some walls?

Dusknoir would be good as a gengar replacement seeing as gengar and Raikou share the same coverage. Though I recommend that you go for a will o wisp vairant to stop opposing physical killers from being such killers.

Weavile will also make for a good revenge killer if you put ice shard over ice punch... though there isn't too much that outspeeds him anyhow. Errr, ice shard depends on if you are too worried about DDancers and scarfers. But would definately make for a better replacement in terms of power + speed.

You can also replace Aerodactyl with this pokemon.

[shinysprite]130[/shinysprite] [icon]130[/icon]

Gyarados (F) @ Life Orb

Intimidate @ Serious

- Dragon Dance

- Dragon Pulse

- Hp (Electric)

- Surf

DO NOT do this ^^^^.

You have a perfectly fine lead for one and two this gyarados won't do anything much considering it has pitiful Special attack - and dragon dance doesn't boost that special attack either.

My original criticism still stands. With 5 sweepers, with Life Orb recoil + entry hazard damage+weather damage + a stunning lack of status immunities, your team will go down quickly. It doesn't help that your OP posts no thoughts, roles, strategies, etc... to show that you comprehend how to use this team.

You can try adding this pokemon to your team since it has increadible Spd + Sp.Atk and this is the pokemon I love using the most right now.

[hgsssprite]254[/hgsssprite] [icon]254[/icon]

Sceptile (M) @ Life Orb

Overgrow @ Quirky

252 Spd/252 Sp.Atk/6 Hp

- Hp (Water)

- Dragon Pulse

- Focus Blast

- Energy Ball

Yeah. At the moment the sets are ok but the team isn't. There's little synergy at the moment... I have to go pretty soon so I dunno what I could recommend. But if we work from your Infernape, he's weak to water/ground/flying/psychic. So pokemon that would complement him well are Vaporeon/Gyarados/Umbreon/_levitater/darktype_.

So lets say you went for Gyarados. Infernape would do all he could do until he came across someone who countered him - you anticipate the following move and switch to the next pokemon to take the move for him. SO infernape vs EQ - switch to Gyarados - Work with gyarados until an electric type comes out - then you switch to someone that is immune to electric. Ground types are good, but they share a common water weakness with infernape, so something like Jolteon/lanturn w/ volt absorb or Electivire w/ Motor thingy can instead come into the electric attack and make benefit of them. Though they share the same ground weakness as infernape - Gyarados is a flyer and can set up on a lot of EQ users.

That would be how you'd play a hyper offensive team, switching between extra strengthy pokemon that can cover each others weakness.

If you need more help I'll be back in about 5 hours.

Yes try replacing Machamp with a Wall or any type of Attacker and Jolteon with a Supporter or something besides all Sweeper because like @ randomspot555 said you will be defeated quickly.

Also like I suggested, try replacing Machamp with Sceptile or Jolteon with Metagross, Rhyperior, Aggron or Swampert.
