A New Team

[Grisly Bear]

okay this is not actually a team of mine, its one that i am making for a friend who is just starting competitive play.

Mamoswine
Ability: Snow Cloak
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk, 4 Def, 252 Spe
Item: Focus Sash

Stealth Rock
Earthquake
Ice Shard
Endeavor

This is a lead, it sets up SR on things that don't taunt and if an attack is predicted it can use endeavor if it is slower.

Salamence
Nature: Naive
EVs: 16 Atk, 240 SpA, 252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

Draco Meteor
Earthquake
Flamethrower
Dragon Claw

Mixed sweeper that can also take Earthquakes aimed at Electivire.

Electivire
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 4 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spe
Item: Expert Belt

ThunderPunch
Cross Chop
Earthquake
Ice Punch

Physical sweeper with super effective damage on 13/17 types in the game. Electivire takes electric attacks that scare Gyarados.

Scizor
Ability: Technician
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 Hp, 252 Atk, 8 Spe
Item: Choice Band

Bullet Punch
U-Turn
Superpower
Pursuit

The premier anti metagame pokemon. This pokemon kills things with priority Bullet Punch or U-Turns on a counter into something that can kill the counter, Superpower OHKOs many things and Pursuit traps things with the choice of die or die. Scizor also is bait for a fire attack that Heatran desires.

Gyarados
Nature: Impish
EVs: 248 Hp, 248 Def, 12 Spe
Item: Leftovers

Waterfall
Roar
Rest
Sleep Talk

Gyarados acts as a tank, status absorber, phazer and bait for electric attacks that Electivire needs to sweep. Gyarados can also take the ground attacks aimed at Electivire.

Heatran
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SpA, 4 SpD, 252 Spe
Item: Leftovers

Fire Blast
Earth Power
Substitute
Toxic

This Heatran is for killing the bulky waters who are not expecting a toxic and easily sets up a substitute because most people assume Heatran is scarfed. Once behind a substitute Heatran can let loose with toxic and use earth power and fire blast on poison and steel types that switch in.

EDITS in bold

Pretty good team. However, I feel your team is using a random dragonite set, rather than the one you need. Your team benefits from a wall breaker due to your whole team being stopped cold by a pokemon like hippodon or swampert. Therefore I would change your dragonite to the new mixmence or mixed infernape.

 

[Heracross]

Not bad, but as the previous guy said, you'd have a hard time with certain pokemon, and your dragonite moveset is not standard at all.

I agree with the guys above and I got to say that i got as huge problem with leading with a mamoswine....endeavor and stealth rock wont do squat because most peoples leads have taunt and are faster then a mamoswine...and earthquake wont do anything alot of the time because many leads are part flying or have levitate..so then your stuck with just using ice shard or switching out to another poke.

 

[coolking503]

andaevor is considered an "attacking move", and isnt affected by taunt

 

[Our Wasted Years]

I don't know, I think you would be better off with either Standard Gyara or Bulky Gyara...your team doesn't really set up things like layers of Spikes and Toxic spikes to need something with Roar.
