This is my...uh sand team I guess? It's more like a "team with sand rush Excadrill and T-Tar with other mons immune to sand.
>>31732687
As it is right now, Zard Y completely solos your team, easily. And rain would probably give you trouble too.
This guide should help you build a stronger sand team.

With sand rush active Excadrill with rock slide OHKOs and outspeeds it, Tyranitar may outspeed with scarf and oneshots if Stone Miss doesn't, well, miss. Megagross outspeeds Zard Y and has 75% of oneshotting with Thunderpunch, I think I'm good. Now If I let Volcarona set twice that's bad
>>31732687
Solid. I'd probably consider having SD over Rock Polish on Lando, just so your matchup against stall isn't an autoloss. I get the feeling that Celesteela is the weak link, although I don't know what I'd switch it out for.

Actually I just had a 5-0 and a 6-0 with her

There, the 6-0, I got kind of lucky with cresselia but I still had everyone alive.This is 1300-ish elo, I dropped a lot due to using dumb teams or forgetting to add moves

The moment Ferrothorn is dead Ash-Greninja is going to destroy your entire team. Also Protean is a huge problem.
252 SpA Choice Specs Greninja Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 128 SpD Ferrothorn: 132-156 (37.5 - 44.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
God help you if you let him to actually get bonded before. because your ferrothorn set is getting 2hko by dark pulse, and everything else get MIZU'D or HYDRO'D
>>31733553
...I guess I forgot to take that into account...would Mega Gyarados be enough?
Rate my main monotype team
Also nickname my mons.
>>31733573
...actually that would be 4 fighting weaknesses...I should change the team around a bit maybe
>>31733573
Can be helpful i guess. it does however open another pack of worms, but i think it would be better. less EQ weakness too.
Honestly, i think people still don't get how fucking nightmare inducing is Ash-Greninja/Protean is.
Also, posting my own team. r8. sometime i change Lele into Lando+Fly and give protect to ferrothorn instead SR
>>31733587
Manny for Mamoswine
Cryogenic for Kyurem
Siemens for Rotom
too bad that ice is a shit type. i like it though
>>31733642
>Mind Plate Lele
Why not scarf or shed shell? (Altough the latter won't be as much useful when Duggy gets the boot)
>Scarf Nihilego
I'd put sash tbqh, 103 speed allows to outspeed non-scarfchomp
>>31733642
One reason why i despise the pokemon meta game.
>Tapus
>Staller

>Memefrog
>>31733705
Plate is for bluffing specs. Honestly, waiting for Duggy to get the boot. some time i do put shed shell because fuck him.
>Scarf Nihilego
Pretty much just remove steels and see it clean with STAB move of choice. Also, people don't see it coming.
It's also a good, good good check to Volcarona and both Zards.
>>31733709
I don't like it, desu. i prefer prebank by far more.
but i want to win, and honestly, i'm a memefrogfag, so i will use it untill it get the boot.
>>31733587
recover > eq on avalugg. you're free to run eq instead of roar, either or.
everything else seems fine, you could experiment with walrein over mega glalie to have more damage insurance against non-superpower scizor while still beating mega sableye, but mega glalie works too. you're definitely gonna want to run double edge > return, as glalie is already very frail and very much appreciates the extra damage and mega sableye / ferrothorn rolls from double edge. everything else looks good to go, as good as an ice team can really be in this meta.
>>31733440
You literally won this one because of a Focus Miss and two special defense drops.

Cut that mind plate on Lele for Fairium-Z. Twinkle Tackle breaks shit.
>>31733916
Wouldn't you want psychium z instead? Most dark types just get blown away by moonblast anyway, and terrain boosted z psychic will rip most things not named chansey to shreds
First time playing since prebank OU and I was thinking about reworking my team. Any suggestions for what I should change to better suit the current healthy meta?
>>31734390
You've already got more than enough Water coverage, so I'd try switching out Scald for Hurricane on Pelipper.
>>31734390
Does Seismitoad actually work out for you? I would've used Ludicolo over it, but that's just me.
Man, I miss Mega Swampert.
>>31734499
Seismitoad is a secret mvp, it's insanely good. It dunks on Tapus and electric types like you wouldn't believe. I haven't gotten to try Mega Swampert, was on competitive hiatus during ORAS, but I'd love to, it seems really good.
Peaked 1500+ lads
>>31734524
Congrats! Curious though, why do you want a team rating?
>>31733642
misty surge and scald?
>>31734559
Burns Flying types and pokemon with Levitate. Doing the damage isn't really Fini's job in the first place so some people prefer it over the minimal damage increase that Surf gives you. It's a thing I guess.
>>31734549
not poster but a team can always improve
>>31734524
How's the Naive Kyurem-B working out for you?
>Give Pelipper defog to deal with the ridiculous amount of sticky web users

Okay, fuck it. What's a good Rapid Spinner? Was considering Starmie, but it's awfully slow.

Anorexia bug and healthy tapu of fidgetiness say hello
Rate my team. Got to 1400 with it after a day, it works pretty well.
Deoxys-A is a monster under Psychic Terrain, Psycho Boost is a guaranteed OHKO on everything but Dark types and Lunala. All my team members are great actually, the only one that I don't really know what to do with is Mega Luke, any suggestions ?
>>31737227
Try more SpA on Deo-A
Gimmicky doubles rain dance team, might change some moves later on.

Looking for suggestions on items/movesets, as well 2 other mons I can add. Currently running top lel and cb metagross, but I find that they usually end up just being used as red herrings to psyche out my opponent and that I just use the top 4. Been getting pretty consistent wins so far, my only real problems or ice types once zard is down as well as opposing chomps
I like this team but Mega Metagross tears my asshole apart and I don't know what to change. Gyara is my main check but thunderpunch scares me.
everythings pretty standard except roar on chomp. I would run dragon tail, but that can miss and doesnt phaze fairies. Basically just a one time button to not get rekt if sash is still intact or if I predict a set up attempt
I am looking for a powerful team I can call my own after modifying it a bit to suit my tastes.
Any suggestions?
How do I make Shedinja viable without going full stall cancer?
I'm trying to make a JoJo themed team but I don't know what Pokemons do I have to use. Help me build a team mateys
>>31742826
You can't. The only way to utilIze Shedinja is through its immunities. Base 90 attack and 30 speed are too terrible to ever accomplish anything (there are things in the meta that do more damage baseline that Shedinja does after a Swords Dance, without being tied to 1HP). You have to use it as a wall, or wait a year for FU to finally be formed (it's not even very good in that tier, either).
