Help Please!!! - UmbreonStudio - Dec 21, 2015 So I am new to the competitive scene and I need some help with my team. In all 5 battles that I have played today, I've only won one(in one instance, I didn't get a single scratch my opponent's Pokemon). Maybe it  has something to do with my team and I would really like some feedback. This is for the VGC 2016 format My team goes in the order I added my Pokemon in: Pendulum(Weavile) @ Life Orb   Ability: Pressure   EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe   Jolly Nature   - Icicle Crash   - Knock Off   - Substitute   - Swords Dance   First up is weavile. I chose weavile mostly because it looks cool . Joking aside, this Pokemon has come through for me multiple times and almost always goes first. It will forever be my glass cannon. Knock off is good for getting rid of Leftovers or a Life Orb. Substitute into a Swords Dance is very useful as well. The EV spread is to be full on physical sweeper and a dragon buster at that. Not willing to change the EV spread. Plinth(Marowak) @ Thick Club   Ability: Lightning Rod   EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD   Adamant Nature   - Double-Edge   - Earthquake   - Bonemerang   - Rock Slide   Marowak helps against Weavile's weakness to Fighting. Rock slide is for hacks(got a couple of flinches here and there :P ). Bonemerang for 200 damage as well as Earthquake for both targets. Double-Edge is kind of a random addition. Thick Club doubles the power of Marowak's physical attacks(yet to find one in game though   ). Lightning Rod will be explained later. Meant to be played as a bulky attacker with its EV's in HP and Attack. Open to any changes you have to offer. Pallet(Luxray) @ Leftovers   Ability: Intimidate   EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpA   Lonely Nature   - Discharge   - Signal Beam   - Wild Charge   - Superpower   Intimidate for lowering physical attacks. Discharge will be useful when Marowak is out as he will be immune. Wild charge for STAB and targeting Flying and Water types. Signal Beam for Grass, Ghost, and Dark. This is meant to be an offensive attacker with a little bulk with 252 HP and attack with 252 Atk. Open to any changes. Wanted an electric type that knew a fighting type move to prevent Water and Ice types from walking all over Marowak. Open to any changes. Pinion(Tentacruel) @ Black Sludge   Ability: Clear Body   EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 Spe   Bold Nature   - Toxic Spikes   - Acupressure   - Scald   - Safeguard   Toxic Spikes for poisoning Pokemon when coming out, have yet to use it safely... Accupressure to just go all over my stats and last on my field a little bit longer Scald for water damage and possible burnage Safeguard for insurance :D Chose a poison type to resist Fairy types Most of my team is weak to special attacks, so his EV's are in 240 Def and adding bulk with 252 HP Don't want to get rid of Accupressure, open to anything else RYOLO(Lucario-Mega) @ Lucarionite   Ability: Adaptability   EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe   Jolly Nature   - Bullet Punch   - Blaze Kick   - Close Combat   - Extreme Speed   MY FAVORITE POKEMON EVER!!! Bullet Punch for priority and a Fairy killing move Blaze kick for covering Grass,Steel,Ground Close Combat for STAB and for Steel,Rock, and Normal(mainly Kangashkan :P ) Extreme Speed for priority as well This will be another Physical sweeper along with weavile, this will also help with its weakness to Fairy with Bullet Punch Staraptor @ Choice Scarf   Ability: Reckless EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe   Jolly Nature   - Brave Bird   - U-turn   - Aerial Ace   - Close Combat   Fastest bird alive! U-turn to get out of dangerous situations Close Combat for coverage Aerial Ace to finish off a target Brave Bird activates Reckless and boosts its power Also protected by Electric type moves with Marowak Staraptor is the last sweeper and close to being a glass cannon because of its typing. It can serve as protecting weavile from his 4x Fighting weakness Please let me know of any changes of movesets, EV spread, items, or if I need to kick off a team member and replace with someone better(hope I don't have to do this). Thank you in advance :D RE: Help Please!!! - ChaseInfinity - Dec 21, 2015 You're missing a couple things for the members of the forum to be able to properly critique your team, please refer to this: http://pokemonforever.com/Thread-IMPORTANT-Competitive-Discussion-Rules-Guidelines-MUST-READ-BEFORE-POSTING-A-BUILD so you can make the necessary changes
