Hey. I have shoddy battle and made a team that I enjoy playing. I just want to know how to improve it.
Any suggestions will appreciated.

Hippowdon (Playa)
Sand Stream @ Leftovers
Impish EV's: 252 HP / 168 DEF / 88 SP.DEF
-Earthquake
-Slack Off
-Roar
-Stealth Rock

Your everyday lead. Set up Stealth Rock and, if you can, use earthquake to dent some pokémon like metagross. If you can't, normally switch into...

Skarmory (Wallie)
Keen Eye @ Leftovers
Impish EV's: 252 HP / 64 ATK / 176 DEF / 16 SPE
-Spikes
-Brave Bird
-Roost
-Whirlwind

My spiker. Roost off damage, whirlwind annoying foes and attack or continue to whirlwind. When sp. attacks are directed to it...

Blissey (Pornstar)
Natural Cure @ Leftovers
Calm EV's: 252 DEF / 80 SPA / 176 SPD
-Wish
-Protect
-Toxic
-Flamethrower

Toxic/Wish/Protect is awesome. Flamethrower for extra damage when you don't need wish.

Tentacruel (Constricter)
Liquid Ooze @ Leftovers
Calm EV's: 252 HP / 120 DEF / 136 SPD
-Hidden Power Electric
-Toxic Spikes
-Rapid Spin
-Surf

Toxic Spiker and spinner. I prefer hp over Sludge bomb for own experience.

Latias (You may suggest a nickname too ;D)
Levitate @ Leftovers
Timid EV's: 128 HP / 252 SPE / 128 SPA
-Calm mind
-Refresh
-Dragon Pulse
-Recover

Defensively oriented latias. Spam calm mind, recover lost health, cure status with refresh, attack with STAB dragon pulse.


suicune.png

Suicune (Purity)
Pressure @ Leftovers
Bold EV's: 252 HP / 252 DEF / 4 SPE
-Calm mind
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-Surf

Restalk suicune. I like it pretty much. Same strategy as latias





That is it. You can it is a stall team. I know that my pokémon descriptions aren't very good but... :3

Please rate/help!
 
You do realize SkarmBliss is forbidden, right?
 
People who ban SkarmBliss are people who aren't smart enough to put common wall breakers in their team.
So much shit beats SkarmBliss nowadays its not funny.

Why are you running 64 Attack EV's on Skarmory? If its in a stall team wouldnt you just want 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 6 SpD so you can wall things better? Running 16 Speed is only for Rhyperior, and he is very rare as it is.

Apart from that, nice stall team. Unoriginal, but good.

I usually carried Ice Fang on my Hippo when I had a SStorm team. It took out threats like Grass types that waltz in, Dragons, or anything else weak to it. You could add Stone Edge for Gyara. Roar can be good, and it might work at times, but since the move goes LAST and they switch to a really good Poke, you might be screwed. I'm just saying I rather replace it with another attack because if you get taunted, and they levitate, you're fucked and have to switch.

Standard Skarm, works good form my experience.

<_< So I'm guess F-Thrower is there for Breloom, Metagross, Lucario and Scizor right? Because I don't see a point in F-Thrower over S-Toss. You could try diverse Bliss set with like Ice Beam and T-Bolt/F-Thrower but yeah, just F-Thower will fuck you over in the long run. But if it works for you, srsly keep it.

Looks good. Try Black Sludge over Lefties if he ever gets Tricked. It's basically the exact same item, just heals all poison types and damages any other Pokemon type holding it. Except Steel type..I think...Idk google it

Latias (You may suggest a nickname too ;D)

Nickname: iShouldBeUber. Moving on, looks good I just hope you have a back up plan for anything that's a physical attacker and can outspeed. A Pursuit Scizor/Absol/Weavile will probably kill this. A Sucker Punch could also deal a load of damage. Other then that it's good for walling and setting up.

Yeah I used this, can annoy the shit out of people.

No that's just the YouTube players or other forum players that ban them. They make battles like 30 minutes longer then they have to be and it's just a pain over-all.
 
Thank you very much all of you!!
Will, I think you can now close the thread.
Thank you.

EDIT:I google'd. It damages steel types too.
 
You have no pokémon that just sweep. They all have another function besides that. Anyway, I don't think you'll need two pseudo-hazers in your team.

You sure? It looks like you still have people making suggestions. You might want to look into them. I'll throw in my two cents worth.

One word: Infernape.

However, Infernape isn't a problem here, as you have three Pokemon that can handle it.

This team looks like it should be a Rain team more than a Sandstorm team. Only two out of your six team members are immune the sandstorm, and...
Latias learns Surf and Thunder (Boosted Surf and 100% accurate Thunder with a 25% chance of hitting through Protect)
Tentacruel has Surf
Suicune has Surf
Blissey can learn Thunder
Skarmory would lose its weakness to Fire (Rain cuts Fire damage in half)

Five out of six of your team are also weak to the BoltBeam combo, which is quite common. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to change something, but it's a fact you should keep in mind.

You don't need two Calm Mind Pokemon, and you don't need two pHazers. Your team has no physical sweepers. Consider at least one. A revenge killer might go a long way as well.

Anyway, it looks like you tried to build a copy of the standard Smogon stall team. However, you have no spin blocker (since you are going uber standard, just use Rotom-A), and you have nothing to abuse the entry hazards and sweep. Go ahead and switch Latias back to Rotom.

These teams are completely horrible to face, but since you don't seem to have any constructive ideas to improve upon the copy/paste standard, just go with that one.

Name Blissey something else. Make a sleeper or none defensive wall in your team. And don't copy things from smogon and don't use latias for a non Uber team...It's Uber w/ or w/out Soul Dew let's face it.
 
...Latias is OU without Soul Dew... LatiOs is Uber.
 
Yeah... I think I'll change the team into something more offensive... This team isn't very good, I keep losing...
