Team Critique ((Round 2))

[Ice Prince]

Well, recently I tried to do a complete revamp of my old team that I posted (some of you may remember). I only kept 2 of the original ones from that line up (Meowstic and Kyurem).

I'm going to go ahead up front and say that I finally managed to get a Jolly Excadrill (although it has Sand Force). I was a bit underwhelmed by the ability as Sand Rush and Mold Breaker seem more appealing. Then I saw it in action when I was online and my friend busted out Tyranitar. OKO off of Earthquake without a Swords Dance (although I did have an Expert Belt equipped). Probably not the best ability, but it is certainly viable in the right situation. I'm content with it, as I've been pleasantly surprised with the results. I don't like Excadrill with Life Orb as I use him as a spinner--he seems to do pretty well at such, so any HP I can hang on to, the better.

In any event, new team:

Besides MGengar being banned, there is a definite EdgeQuake weakness going on.

What are the EVs of your Pokemon? Besides replacing MGengar with a bulky water, the EVs are all we really know to see if you team is fine.

Updating--replacing Gengar with Serperior until I can breed a decent Squirtle for Blastoise. I'll update the main post (any advice on a set would be nice--I just threw this one together today in about 10 minutes).

Also--I'm debating replacing Kyurem with Darkrai. I only like to use one legendary (just a pet peeve of mine to see a whole team consisting of them). Any advice on that?

I'll also post EV spreads once I finalize this team. ^_^

Oh and for Darkrai set:

Darkrai
Ability: Bad Dreams
Nature: Timid
Held Item: TBA
-Dark Void
-Nasty Plot (or Spacial Rend--I haven't decided)
-Focus Blast
-Dark Pulse

 

[Master Mew]

Is this team for a simulator or in-game Battle Spot?

If the former, then as others have said, Gengar Darkrai will need a different held-item to be replaced.

If the latter, then wouldn't it be better (and fairly simple) to swap out Jolteon's Shadow Ball for Hidden Power Ice?

Edit: Ninja'd
