Please rate my team

I am competeing competitvely, no tourneys, and it's single battles.



Nero (Azelf) (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability:Levitate
EVs: 252 spatk, 252 spe, 4 atk
Naive Nature (+SPD, -SpD)
- Stealth Rock
- Psychic
- Explosion
- Taunt


Azelf is the lead for this set. Taunt to screw up opposing SR, etc. Then uses his own SR. Then depending on the situation, explodes to take out atleast one of the enemy's team.

Wht Hppnd (Porygon Z) () @ SalacBerry
Ability:Adaptability
EVs: 252 spe, 4 hp, 128 spATK, 124 spD
Modest nature (+SpAtk, -ATK)
- Substitute
- Nasty Plot
- Tri Attack
- Hidden Power(Water)


Porygon is one of my old time favorites. He's a special sweeper, boasting a massive special attack. The thing is to sub down to a salac boost, maybe try to get a NP in before, then start sweeping with boosted tri attacks. Has always been able 2 K.O atleast 2-3 pokes or maybe even a 6-0 in some cases.


Judicator (Magnezone) () @ Leftovers
Ability:Magnet Pull
EVs: 40 ATK, 252 spA, 216 spD
Naive nature (+SPD, -SpD)
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt
- Explosion
- Hidden Power(Grass)


My "Steel Killer". This guy is meant to destroy any and all opposing steel threats: Scizor, lucario, Metagross, etc. Sub to protect, then hit hard with Tbolt or HP grass. Explosion when i know he's going to die so he can go out with a bang.


Kino (Salamence) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 232 atk, 24 Hp, 252 spe
Naughty nature (+ATK, -SpD)
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Roost

Another one of my Favs. He's my phys sweeper, Designed to come in late game and destroy any opposiotion with boosted DDance life orb outrages, usually very potent if played right.



Jizzums (Gyarados) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Spe, 252 atk, 4 def
Jolly nature (+SPD, -SPA)
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge



My "Offensive Water Dragon". He's meant to take fire type attacks, and dish out some hard damage with DDance Waterfalls and such, Thinking on making him more bulky.



Raghead (Forretress) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 hp, 112 atk, 144 def
Relaxed nature (+DEF, -SPD)
- Spikes
- Toxic Spikes
- Explosion
- Rapid Spin

My "Setup Physical Tank" This guy sets up the hazards around here. Toxic spikes, spikes and he also blows away the enemies SR, Spikes, Toxic Spikes, etc. Not too reliable, but when he is it's a beast.



Any suggestions to make it better or any ideas to make it the best it can be please let me know.




Thanks.

Try using the correct layout then I'll rate it.
Example:
Nickname (Wartortle) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability:
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Aqua Jet
- Focus Punch
- Waterfall
- Yawn

Pretty well done team you got going here. I'll make a few suggestions to it however.

For Azelf, you're completely walled by Steel types, which three are common leads, Metagross, Heatran, and Jirachi. With Fire Blast, you can take out two of the three (Azelf normally loses to Heatran regardless, in which Gyarados can easily come in), so what I would suggest the following moveset for Azelf:


Nero the Azelf (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Special Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Naive Nature (+Speed, -Special Defense)
- Stealth Rock
- Fire Blast
- Explosion / Grass Knot
- Taunt / Explosion

This way you can get better coverage, since Psychic is not gonna hit any top leads besides Infernape and Machamp. Grass Knot is there to hit Swamperts by surprise. And Taunt may not even be needed since you have a Spinner.

For Porygon-Z, the set is extremely weird. It doesn't have the speed to do what you want it to do, so I might suggest to do the Choice Scarf variant for revenge killing:


Wht Hppnd The Porygon-Z @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 252 Speed, 252 Special attack, 4 HP
Modest nature (+SpAtk, -ATK)
- Tri Attack
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power Fighting

So that's the end of my rate, do what you want with it.

Thanks, those are some pretty nice suggestions.

Coaster, he subs until he gets the salac boost, then sweeps.

The point I'm making is that he needs a revenge killer, and that Porygon-Z will get outsped before he gets down the Salac berry, unless he has absolute predicting skills, which are required when to run that set.

well, i used to have phenomenal predicting skills, but i'm a bit rusty since i havent' battled in awhile. So i'll try both sets and see what works best.



EDIT: taunt is for blissey/anything that wishes to use support/status. May put this on gyarados instead.

The set should be the other way, like what Empoleons do alot. Use agility instead of nasty plot, and petaya instead of salac. i think petaya is the spAtk one...
