you should run protect on metagross and run knock off instead of fire punch on machamp

Thanks for the advice

Your team lacks both Taunt and speed control moves, which are really important things in VGC15. Maybe Gengar can work better than Porygon2 in this case.

Gengar @ Focus Sash
Ability: Levitate
Level: 50
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Sludge Bomb
- Shadow Ball
- Icy Wind
- Taunt

Here are two of the best M-Metagross sets atm: http://thejustinflynn.tv/forum/Thread-VG...l-Attacker. The Substitute set fits better in your bulky team.

Life Orb Arcanine is not optimal, because you get recoil damage from Snarl, that should be a support move. Sitrus Berry is a better option. I don't know if 52 SpA Overheat can get some particular OHKOs, you should check that and go for the Fire Blast/Flamethrower if the answer is negative (or just add the necessary EVs).

There are still some little problems (i don't like Calm Leftovers Sylveon - you don't have a way to deal with Rotom-W, Suicune and Milotic - the lack of a decent speed control support except for Icy Wind makes faster offensive threats like ScarfLand-T and Jolly M-Kang a lot harder to take down) but you should just test it on Showdown or play some games on Battle Spot to detect your weaknesses and then adjust your team.

Thanks for the advice Gmx and I have tested the team on showdown it did pretty well

[Chimchared7]

on gengar for that dudes comment run will o wisp instead of shadow ball

[IceyGamer]

To beat this I just gotta burn ya down.

[Chimchared7]

i agree to many physical attackers you should run some spiecial attackers

[terrorkid94]

So I need to watch out for will-o-wisp

[Chimchared7]
