NEW TEAM AFTER XMAS THINKING

[Damien.Taylor]

ok, see what you think of the team now (ive only bred gyrara and kazam, so other stuff is up for changing)

Donphan @ ????
jolly 252 spee/252 att/4hp
stealth rock
rapid spin
ice fang
earthquake

lead, drops rox and also spins the oppponents rox/spikes away. ice fang takes on salamence/garchomp leads

Gyarados @ shell bell
adamant 252 att/252 spe/4 hp
stone edge
waterfall
taunt
dragon dance

quite a basic tauntridos

alakazam @ choice specs
modest 252 spe/252 spatt/4 hp
psychic
focus blast
grass knot
shadow ball

CS kazam/special sweeper, shadow ball is "special" right?

heracross @ choice band
adamant 80 att/236 speed/192 def
close combat
megahorn
shadow claw
earthquake

never used one of these before, (should i swap shadow claw for stone edge for coverage with earthquake?)

blissey @ leftovers
calm 252 def/40 spatt/216 sp def
soft boiled
aromatherepy
flamethower
toxic

standard

dusknoir @ ????
???? 252 hp/252 def/6 att
wow
ice punch
thunderpunch
painsplit

defensively tanky, switches in to spinners. painsplit is for "healing"




so what do you reckon then? slightly more fleshed out than the last one i posted, feel free to rip it apart though

 

[Damien.Taylor]

just a bump, id really like your opinions on this guys

is there a special sponge as good as blissey?

is the donphan and heracross ok, ive never used either of them.

does this team stand up to most "threats" that are flying around at the moment?

 

[Return of Tyraneon]

you dont need to bump after one day

give us time

 

[Damien.Taylor]

sorry im kinda new to message boards. and being at work the days seem alot longer than they actually are!

and its had loads of veiws and no comment.

but anyway, sorry

 

[The King of Nidos]

Maybe its had no comments because thats actualy a realy good team that doesnt need criticising, I would maybe give Gyarados leftovers instead of a shell bell because when it somes to restoring hp shell bells just suck.

For Gyarados, it's not very bulky... 156 HP / 108 Atk / 100 Def / 144 Spe is for the bulky set. Donphan might want Ice SHARD over Ice FANG (I think it gets it... pretty sure). Heracross should have Night Slash over Shadow Claw (Night Slash hits fighters NVE but Shadow Claw doesn't hit normals at all. Other than that no difference). Earthquake should be the one swapped with Stone Edge. It'll be more helpful in OU. The others look fine. For all your item questions, Leftovers works. If Donphan's your lead you can use Lum Berry on it. Since you're putting all your defensive EVs into Defense, try Careful on Dusknoir.

 

[FinalIXFantasyXII912]

Great team, I only recomend changing your moveset for hereacross and donphan.
hereacross should definately have stone edge instead of earthquake. Shadow claw vs. night slash. Im not sure which ones better, I think its up to personal preference. Donphan definately needs to have ice shard as opposed to ice fang.
the only other thing i'd recomend is changing gyrados's item, probably to levtorvers. Good Luck!!

 

[The Outrage]

Night Slash is better, the only reason you want it is because of Ghost types, and Night Slash allows you to hit normals.
