Help me build a VGC '15 team? (/Thread-VGC-Help-me-build-a-VGC-15-team)Help me build a VGC '15 team? - SCf3 - Dec 20, 2014
I've been following VGC for the past year or so, but only got really involved in battling this past summer... and I'm not too great at building teams.
EDIT: Here's a team I've been using on Smogon that I've been doing decent with. Thoughts/Advice?

In general or for specific Pokemon?
For Rotom I was thinking of using this spread that I've used before
EVs: 84 HP / 128 Def / 44 SpD / 252 Spe
Also I've been thinking of changing Landorus to another Pokemon because of the Ice weaknesses on my team. Any recs or should I keep him?

It all depends who you play with Landorus. Ice used rightly against you could dominate you but if you play your cards right it could end up badly. I personally make sure I have one pokemon with a fire type move if I am using a Salamance and Landorus. Otherwise to me it seems pretty good. A trickroom team might do you some harm as well. Also your Landorus I would rethink the Defense over Special Defense maybe, I maybe wrong though so double check.

The fire suggestion is a good idea, I've been having trouble going up against Ice types like Mamoswine and Abomasnow. I honestly might switch Landorus out with another Pokemon (maybe a fire type since there's SO much ice/ice moves around) maybe a fire type? I'm not sure. And yeah Trick Room has screwed me over sometimes... :/
Thanks for the tips!
Edit: Replaced Landorus with Heatran, we'll see what happens.
