Yes, nice team. Still can't see how Toxicroak is so effective. 49% of that thing's health is all you beat me by though.

OK, I see maybe one or two changes made to his entire team. Excluding the random 6 EVs intead of 4. Along with you telling him why he was using the moves he already had....? The changes I see if Surf on Politoed ( Not a good idea over Hydro Pump IMO, but the Surf vs Hydro Pump argument is pretty opinionated anyhow. ) A different ability on Smeargle, which is super gimmicky. And a worse nature for Smeargle. So that get's my down-vote, sorry.
Well, it was p robably because I was up until 2 am last night trying to answer questions, i was just trying to help
Take hints from Josh: He was giving good reasons on why this was downvoted by him.
