thanks a ton, I'll put your advice to good use.

starmie -switches in after hydreigon to eat fighting moves, also why it has psychic -natural cure works well with choice specs -surf for stab -ice beam for dealing with dragons which there seem to be a ton of online -thunderbolt for dealing with other waters, the team currently lacks grass moves Blaziken -would probably be replaced with CB/sheer force darmanitan to make the team legal (flare blitz/u-turn/rock slide/EQ) -flare blitz is a great stab and with CB/sheer force even water types take massive dmg -u-turn for scouting, also used to bring in starmie/hydriegon to avoid water attacks or earthquake -rock slide for fliers Machamp -opener if opponent has more than 1 steel, since they would resist draco meteor and would be weak to dynamic punch -100% confusion chance is very useful, dynamic punch is a solid stab that even causes a lot of dmg to walls -stone edge covers fliers, i use this move if i expect a ghost to come in -payback deals with psychics, machamp can eat a psychic if hes healthy, payback shows em whats what -i never get a good chance to use sub ferrothorn -ability+ helmet does lots of damage to physicals, and with leech seed enemies are whittled down quickly -stealth rock hurts fire types who would come after ferrothorn, also deals with my biggest pet peeves: lvl 1 endeavor pokemon and focus sashers -power whip does a lot of damage considering ferro is a wall -thunder wave mitigates dmg and makes things easier for my sweepers zapdos -didnt know what else to put on, i dont have any electric types and only one pokemon with an electric attack -needs to be replaced imo, but i dont know what to use Hydreigon -opener/revenge killer -If the opponent doesnt have a lot of steel, draco meteor is a solid bet if i think they are going to switch out -dark pulse for stab, flinch chance can save me in a pinch -surf and FT are good coverage, it seems most opponents dont see it coming and dont switch out when surf/FT are super effective

This is my team ive been using over random wifi, I have a decent record but im looking to round the team out some more Starmie@ choice specs -timid/natural cure 6 hp/ 252satk/252 spd --thunderbolt --ice beam -- surf -- psychic Blaziken@ life orb -adamant/speed boost 252hp/252atk/6 spd --flare blitz --hi jump kick -- stone edge --protect Hydreigon@ choice scarf -hardy/levitate 6hp/252satk/252 spd --dark pulse --draco meteor --surf --flamethrower Machamp@ lum berry -adamant/ No gaurd 252hp/252atk/6spd --dynamic punch -- stone edge --payback --substitute Ferrothorn@ rocky helmet relaxed/iron barb 252hp/252def/6sdef --stealth rock --thunder wave --leech seed --power whip zapdos@leftovers timid/pressure 252hp/128def/128sdef --toxic --thunderbolt --substitute --roost I find that i rarely ever use zapdos, but Im not sure what to replace it with. Also, in spite of my machamp bein sorta bulky i find that i never have a good opportunity to use substitute. Any ideas of what I could replace it with?
