Looks like a solid team actually. Somewhat weak to stall, but you also have Celebi and Suicune to handle that. Good job bro!!!

[pokebeast1]

THX!

[pokesavmaster]

My suggestion is that you use life orb for gengar, gives him more power and he wont be stuck on one move. I also dont think he needs the speed boost, most things he is killing are slower than him.

Otherwise, i cant argue with anything else on the team. GOOD JOB.

Machamp does work as a hell of a lead. If you put sub + leftovers on there he is spared any status and gets greater longevity. I would probably put that over stone edge, as a combo of two of the ramining three moves should put away most leads.

Celebi, Suicune and heatran make for a very very good core with so many resistances between them

Shadow ball could work well over HP Ice for cresselia, who can do a good job walling this set. It also nails celebi harder than HP Ice. With substitute up you don't have to worry about breloom, so more argument for Shadow Ball. I think a plus one shadow ball might even take care of gliscor, possibly swampert too.

One idea might be to scrap Raikou and go for jolteon for more speed, power and an extra immunity. However if you're looking for a boosting sweeper jolteon's best shot is charge beam (which is actually pretty good ).

Suicune is really a pain. It takes a couple boosts for its damage output to be devasting, but only a single boost and It's damn near impossible to kill. Crocune could be an option here, though, I do prefer this set .

ThunderBolt

Focus Blast

Hypnosis

Shadow Ball

Comment:This is used to counter Heatran,+1 Gyarados,Breloom,Celebi,Dusknoir,And Many more.

Gengar doesn't need a scarf, if anything it wants specs >: D. Trick over hypnosis, with specs, could really hurt any stall teams. You could possibly run the Mysticgar set - Protect/HP Fire/Focus Blast/ Shadow Ball. This kills Heatran, scizor, celebi, breloom - lose the kill on water (bar starmie and possibly swampert) + Ttar. Point being if you ran that set, it would make room for celebi to run Heal bell, which is an invaluable move IMO, seeing as the team has no spinner.

Mysticgar plays pretty cooly, use protect on the usual suspects (Ttar/scizor + anything) to see what move they use, and then own them with focus blast/HPfire respectively.

See above

It looks like a pretty tight team to be honest. My suggestions probably won't improve it all that much but it's something you can try.

[pokebeast1]

THX everyone!btw Tbird you are right about gengar.im going to give it trick so a curse snorlax dont be a problem just in case machamp die

[Tbird]

You're welcome

Trickspecs would work wonders on snorlax. Forrestress, blissey, swampert, some celebii (be careful though), gyarados, Some Lucario, anything that boosts atk or is stally/wally it works wonders on .

[Gin]

Saw Tbird was helping here, so I thought I'd check it out.

Watch out for Dugtrio... he's not so common anymore, but he'll rip through this team even as a revenger. Earthquake eliminates Raikou and Heatran, and Sucker punch beats gengar, who can't trick it, though he can switch.

Really, you shouldn't try to build your team to fix it, just be careful when you play it.

Gengar CAN use scarf well. With scarf, Gengar can become one of the most effective revengers around. Slap on HP Fire and you can beat scizor, too. You may want to ditch trick, as Gengar suffers from FMS (four moveslot syndrome) and you can run other stuff. The most effective Gengar set is 252/252 timid with sub, Shadow Ball, and two of the three: Focus Blast, HP Fire, T-bolt. sub on the switch and hit the poke with the 4x move. You are pretty much destroyed by blissey, though, as your team is all special except for your lead. Slap on a Jirachi,Flygon, or Scizor here instead of Gengar or heatran if you want to run a scarf set, but you can also try something else(Dragonite looks like it would fit right in, and Hera would, too. Lucario would also work, but I'd rather not increase the ground weakness too much. Non lead Meta is slightly unorthodox, but you can use it here. If you do, you may want Shuca berry. Gyarados would work amazingly well here, you can try switching Jolteon in for Raikou and Vaporeon for Suicune. In fact, I'd recommend that, but I don't know if you want to change up your team. If you go with Hera, get rid of Gengar, and bait Fire attacks with Hera and absorb with Heatran.

ok Gin you are actually right about that lol.i think i want to replace one of theis for gengar so UU Dugtrio and OU blissey dont be a problem i need another physical sweeper too.

This isn't really a great replacement. There are much better physical sweepers that are a lot faster, If you want to go the physical sweeper route, gyarados or dragonite would go really well, and would provide another grround immunity. Dragonite more so as it doesn't get hit so bad by electric.

Ddance/Outrage(or dragon claw)/Aqua tail(or waterfall or earthquake)/roost could work really well. However if you go the EQ route you'll be walled by skarm.

Gyarados can run a similar set that's really effective Ddance/waterfall/Earthquake/Icefang(or taunt or substitute).

[pokebeast1]

kk i just noticed this donphan wasnt working well too lol.it only surprised swampert but there is no need since i already had celebi.guess ill go look on smogon for a d-nite set then

[Gin]

Incidentally, the suggestions I made to this team led me to make a new team based on some ideas I was throwing around. I can send it to you if you like, as it was partly your fault it exists. Really, though, your best bet is a nice bulky set. I'd recommend two choices: The bulky DD set: 252 HP 252 atk 4 spdef, @ Lum/Lefties/LO Roost, DD, Outrage/Dragon Claw, EQ or the Cleric Dancer set. However, you can just slap Heal Bell on Celebi and run the DD.
