[RATE MY TEAM] (another) for VGC 2015

[z2porygon]

Sorry if I offend you but I look up moves to make sure they are legal and test strategies before I suggest them otherwise I would suggest Seismic Toss Mega-Kangaskstan.

I mess up Belly Drum Azumarill all the time, the only way it could survive usually is with a sitrus berry. Ferrothorn is another one that I've seen easily defeated but used with a follow me user or higher defenses can be a useful teammate.

I usually run Azumarill full HP and Attack with Weakness policy and Aqua Tail or Waterfall and Play Rough, Bounce, and Aqua Jet.

You made a decent team. 6.5/10

Seeing your team in those 3 videos (the second one wasn't the team here), it can be easily deduced that Ferrothorn pretty much holds up this team and Azumarill isn't even necessary. On top of that, anyone can easily spot that you have a huge amount of Fighting weaknesses on your team, their aren't many checks for your Rock Weaknesses or your Electric weaknesses either. Also nothing on this team stops a Prankster, a Fast Sweeper, a Pokemon with Intimidate (especially Lando-T) or a weather team efficiently.

Here is how I would run this team:

Tyranitar-Mega @ Tyranitarite

Gyarados @ Lum Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe

- Protect
- Waterfall
- Ice Fang

Raichu @ Focus Sash
Ability: Lightning Rod

EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Fake Out
- Thunderbolt
- Encore
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Excadrill @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Rush
Level: 50
- Earthquake
- Iron Head

- Rock Slide

Rotom-Wash @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Levitate
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 112 Def / 116 SpD / 28 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Will-O-Wisp
- Thunderbolt
- Hydro Pump
- Protect

Thundurus @ Charti Berry
Ability: Prankster
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Discharge
- Taunt
- Thunder Wave

The adjustments I've made allows the core of your team, Mega Tyranitar, to do its job effectively without hindering its team mates but rather helping them out to prevent threats from shutting it down, reduces the amount of common weaknesses and counter most possible forms of team strategies and annoyance strategies.
