Anyway, do you guys think you could help me patch up my team? + Show Spoiler + This is my competitive team. I use a battle simulator, so IVs are all 31. Porygon2 @ Eviolite Trait: Analytic EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Ice Beam - Thunderbolt (someone told me to use Charge Beam instead for the Special Attack boost) - Recover - Magic Coat This is my lead. It destroys other leads. If someone uses say, Aerodactyl, I just use Magic Coat for free Stealth Rocks or Taunt or whatever, and if it's an attacking lead like Infernape, I just switch out to a counter. It also makes a great wall for the late game. Scizor (F) @ Life Orb Trait: Technician EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Swords Dance - Bullet Punch - Brick Break - Bug Bite I tried to build the team around Scizor, because it's one of my favorite Pokemon. This is a pretty standard build, just utilizing his powerful STAB Technician attacks. I used Brick Break over Superpower because I'm not really into the whole lowering my defenses thing. Starmie @ Leftovers Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 252 HP / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Rapid Spin - Surf - Thunderbolt - Ice Beam Since Scizor has a 4x weakness to Fire, and will be hampered by entry hazards, I figured I need a Rapid Spinner and a good anti-Fire type. Luckily Starmie is both of those in one package. Zapdos @ Leftovers Trait: Pressure EVs: 248 HP / 228 SDef / 32 Spd Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Thunderbolt - Roost - Thunder Wave - Heat Wave Zapdos is to help Starmie, by resisting Grass and Electric attacks. I use a specially defensive build aimed at support, using Thunder Wave for a lot of paralysis. Skarmory (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Roost - Stealth Rock - Brave Bird - Whirlwind Skarmory is my physical wall. It also lays my team's entry hazards, and is my Phazer. Garchomp (F) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Sand Veil EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Outrage - Earthquake - Dragon Claw (someone told me to use Crunch in this slot to help with Ghosts) - Stone Edge Since I have two Pokemon who are weak to Electric, I figured I'd need a good Ground type, and that is Garchomp. He also acts as my revenge killer. I've played about 25 matches with this team, and some problems I've noticed are that I am pretty much screwed against Ghosts and Gliscor. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to patch up my team? | ||

I tried Sigilyph and Haxorus, but three Pokemon weak to Electric was not cutting it. So I switched them up for Zapdos and Garchomp respectively. | ||

Also one priority move + one scarf may seem plenty, but you might want to consider another mon with priority. But overall your team seems solid. I think any problems you have with ghosts in general can be solved by zapdos/chomp/scizor and some good prediction. I'd imagine you would have a little trouble versus well built weather teams but everyone has trouble versus well built weather teams. It's hard to stay defensively oriented in this gen, but dont be a sheep and go full offense like everyone else! | ||

About the priority: I'm totally open to changing my team around to improve it. But the reason I'm asking for help is because I have no idea what to change. Thank you for your input  Edit @ adeezy: It's called Pokemon Online. Just Google it. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Bronzong @ Lum Berry Trait: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 152 Atk / 8 Def / 96 SDef Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd) - Trick Room - Gyro Ball - Explosion - Stealth Rock Kurimugan (Druddigon) (M) @ Choice Band Trait: Mold Breaker EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd) - Outrage - Sucker Punch - Superpower - Earthquake Rankurusu (Reuniclus) (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Magic Guard EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SAtk Quiet Nature (+SAtk, -Spd) - Trick Room - Psychic - Focus Blast - Shadow Ball Vaporeon (M) @ Choice Specs Trait: Water Absorb EVs: 44 HP / 212 Def / 252 SAtk Quiet Nature (+SAtk, -Spd) - Hydro Pump - Ice Beam - Hidden Power [Electric] - Signal Beam Rhyperior (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Solid Rock EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Def Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd) - Earthquake - Stone Edge - Swords Dance - Fire Punch Burungeru (Jellicent) (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Cursed Body EVs: 248 HP Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd) - Scald - Will-O-Wisp - Trick Room - Recover The consistently best pokes I've run have to be Bronong, Reuniclus and rhyperior. The first two are nearly impossible to stop from setting up TR without taunt, and rhyperior even surprises me with what he can survive and what he can KO. People should definitely be aware of these pokes. I used to run bouffolant who had such great synergy with vaporeon and rhyperior, but he's kinda out classed, as he usually kills himself after killing breloom, and his sweeping does't last that long even after ferrothorn leech seeds him. Im testing users for choice items under TR, as I find the good opponents will just attempt to switch stall your TR turns, so that extra boost to power often suprises them. Druddigon is lovely in TR, and that sucker punch is so handy. I for one welcome a slow dragon who is "outclassed". Vaporeon with choice specs is frightening and it's bulk is incredible. jellicent is kinda of a TR placeholder for now, as I really need a ghost who can set up TR, and cofagrigus is too physically defensive, which my team does not need. I would try out TR if I were you, because it hard counters speed addicts. Unsurprisingly, the not so popular stall teams are really effective versus this, as they are actually use to switching around constantly to dodge threats and phaze things. Priority I can handle, but some people use a ridiculous amount of pokes with priority that I don't even bother setting up TR sometimes. | ||

I would recommend replacing Bug Bite with X-Scissor on Scizor. Better physical attack to take advantage of of Scizors massive ATK. | ||
